Came home last night just in time to watch our game on Motd and the thoughts of an ex pro footballer on the penalty decision, now I was a bit tipsy but he explained why it was not a penalty. My question is do any ex professional footballers sit on var because a common criticism thrown at refs is th...

Very nice of a moderator to post insults, really set the bar high. He’s been a very good footballer for us over the years, one of the best left backs I have seen play for us. It was pretty evident his level dropped significantly in Dyche’s final season and I haven’t seen much evidence this season h...

I don’t think Dyche would allow anyone, including himself to sit back.

We did it every season we were safe early, bar Europe. A couple of times we could have finished top half but just stopped when we were safe.

He was great, but Charlie, like the rest of the team, is hero one week, villain the next. Picking teams with hindsight would be brilliant. He could start against Wolves and be rubbish, then this thread would be wasted. Consistency is what we need from all of our players, including Charlie. That said...

They have a very easy run in, and if they don't take advantage of it, then everyone around us will. It just makes our job harder. I think they'll be fine. The worry is they make safety and sit on the beach for the last 3 games, which could really hurt us.

Very good interview and worth the watch if anyone is hesitating.

Just checked out The Shed End. Vast majority agree it was never a penalty, and never a booking. Muric said to look Bonnettiesque for his long throws. Not a lot of praise for Burnley, but mostly because they were too busy slagging off their own, and Poch. Some said they were lucky to get a point, tha...

With so much going against us, that was an unbelievable point.
I'm not poetic enough to laud the praise this team deserves for today. I'm buzzing, feels like a win.

Colburn_Claret

Regardless of the final result, we can all be proud of the lads today. We're finally showing this last month, that we deserve to be at this level. It might be too little too late, but it still makes you feel better.

I thought this story came out a week ago.
it was just a playful cuff that the recipient didn't appreciate. Tarks and another of the players went and told SD that the lad didn't like it, so SD went and apologised as he hadn't realised the kid had misunderstood.
At least that was the story I read.

I was sat next to a young couple with a baby in a papoose a couple of games ago. The baby only looked about 3 weeks old, I asked if it was their first game, and they said it was their second.
I don't know any official policy, but if this baby was allowed in then any baby will.
Good luck to them.

He always had more licence at Swansea and for Wales. I still like him, and he had many good games for us, but never quite hit those heights. It has to be down to how we used him, We'll never know if he could do that in our systems, but probably not consistently.

That Liverpool game he looked frightened to death, even before a ball had been kicked, then played like he was.

I'm glad he's having another good season and wish him well.

Yesterday I went out with ten other Clarets for a few beers just be sociable of course Inevitably season tickets were discussed .

1. Burnley stay up 2. Burnley win FA Cup It ain’t even close…. So many disappointing tournaments (false dawns) with England, culminating with the current ‘destroyer of all things positive’ ensuring we continue to lose the big games from winning positions. If this frightened buffoon was in charge of...

Typical of this season as a whole that 3 of the top 4 have missed most of it.
Swings and roundabouts, we're due some good luck.

Jimmy Adamson, so close to being top of the tree again but what a ride the journey was.

There has to be some regulation, has to be, and the Premier League have shown again this week with Forrest and Everton, that they just aren't willing to upset the clubs. Without regulation what is to stop every club doing a Leeds, spending millions you don't have and then happily paying 10p in the P...

Burnley always. International football isn't the same as in the 60s, 70s. The format of competitions. The number of International breaks and friendlies. Their impact on the league programme, and the potential to dilute the league even further. The money grabbing attitude of FIFA and UEFA. Southgate ...

Sky Sports showing a video of the worse XG misses of the season. Fofano's miss is second only, to Koleosho's miss, also against Brentford but away. We really like to make life difficult for ourselves. On a positive note, Haaland is also on the list, and I do like a striker that can carry the can and...

I think it’s entirely reasonable they booed what was an obvious poor decision to keep playing him and they should be congratulated if you are right in your suspicions that was the reason Muric was selected yesterday. It's never right to boo our own players, whatever failings or shortcomings they mi...

Consolidate.
We're still going down, but relegation playing like we have the last few weeks please. We need some positivity to take into next season.

Colburn_Claret

It's just frustrating that he hasn't been given a chance before yesterday. It could have gone tits up, and there's no guarantee that playing Muric all season would have put us in a better position in the league, but after his performances last season he deserved the opportunity. It should have been ...

This is where a manager earns his coin.

VK needs to get us to up the tempo, and cut the silly errors.

Stats suggest we are sitting back, why against 10 men.

Brentford are always going to give it a go, why encourage them. We are so poor at managing games.

There is no right or wrong in this, just childish individuals having a spat.
The difference is Joey knows its just a childish spat, Vine thinks it matters.

Pathetic really, if I was a judge I'd just tell them to grow up, but damages, ********.

Meant to add (cannot edit) - A single PL player transfer could quite literally fund a lower league club for years upon years, it's wrong to witness a 153-year-old club crumble because of a questionable owner. It just doesn't sit right with me - surely changes are needed? It doesn't sit right with m...

Confidence tho in general is shot so even a 2-0 lead is fragile. Hopefully the generally good performance against Bournemouth (score aside!) and todays draw at a decent West Ham helps restore a bit of confidence. Upwards and onwards! Believe me, I hope so, but it's Kompanys job to instil the confid...

We could have won that. We matched a team playing in Europe. Much better performance. Obviously you'll all focus on the negatives, that's what you all do. It's wrong to focus on the negatives, but you can't ignore them either. It was a good display wasted because of a lack of ********. It happens, ...

In our 2 games against the Hammers we had 6 pts after 85 minutes, and are lucky to end up with 1. It speaks volumes for our season that this is the norm.

And what have we learnt since the home game, absolutely bugger all. Hang your head Kompany.

There are many angles to recruitment. Part is to identify undervalued talent. Which I believe we have succeeded at. Even those struggling have shown they have the technical ability to be assets, but young players, in a new team, in a new league, in a different country, are going to take time to sett...

One of the major problems with signing so many youngsters, from so many locations. Team building takes time and after promotion we didn’t have any.

And/or a leader on the pitch to guide them.

Boxing would have been finished as a sport if AJ had lost. Its credibility would have vanished.

It's never one thing, always a combination of several issues. Kompany has to hold his hand up to some of those issues. Trafford isn't better than Muric, Muric might not be better than him either, but at least Trafford has had the opportunity. Part of management is motivation and man management, and ...

That might be so, but if he's learned something it's difficult to see what.

Let me clarify my stance without implying a dispute, which is why I prefaced my comment with "I think" to express it as merely my viewpoint rather than an argument. In my opinion, had Leicester and Leeds, who were relegated last season, been part of this Premier League season, they would have outpe...

Tony I just cannot believe fans pay to go in, claim they support our team then start chanting Muric's name whenever Trafford hesitates or makes a mistake. We do have some senseless morons.

I dont think the gulf is widening. Two out the three teams who were promoted last last season completely cocked up. Thats all.

They are already at the club. Koleosho, odobert, Tresor. There is a huge gulf in class between pl and championship and we are in that ghost league at the moment.

KEBFC not far off, but the biggest question isnt who stays or goes, but who we get in to fill the obvious gaps on the pitch. Without a leader these players could drop right through the championship. With leadership the could bounce straight back. Quality players, looking very average, and getting wo...

There's a fine line between frustration and anger, it needs to be walked carefully.
It's wrong to turn on the players and other fans, yet this season is so bad, so very bad, you either accept it, or blow a gasket.
Try and remember we all care, we just show it in different ways.

Wherever you stand on the Trafford debate, keep playing him isn't doing anything for his long term development.

It doesn't do anything positive for Muric either.
