Celebrity referee... good riddance

I think Agent Coyle might be on his way...

I think headgear will come into play first. But also, you have to take into account, assuming that there is actually evidence that long-term heading of the ball does lead to early onset dementia, that footballs are much lighter than they were even 20 years ago. They were much heavier especially when...

Just for continuity they should be in miles... However, the quotes in the article read like they should be in The Daily Mash Grandfather John Pickup, 68 said: “It’s disgraceful. We are supposed to be coming out of Europe so why the hell have they put signs up in kilometres?” “We’ve fought and won tw...

He jumps for the ball and soon as he feels contact from the player behind him, the leans forwards and collapses to the floor, and it looks like a push.

She didn't have much confidence in Brady, it seems.

I see his other play, but his main job is to win fouls around the penalty area

1) Tom Heaton
2) Michael Keane
3) Joey Barton - Its not about games played, but he has been instrumental since returning

I hate it when Ashley Barnes plays... well when I say 'plays', I mean he is employed just to fall forwards every time he jumps up with a defender to win free kicks.

I'm sure he is better player than that, maybe he talents are being wasted, but he is getting Burnley points I suppose.

If money was no object. I'd start or takeover a small, non league club. Build on community initiatives, make it a family friendly and create local jobs and focus on clubs ambition. Unfortunately I live in a hotbed of clubs all shapes and sizes so supporter retention wouldn't be strong.

claptrappers_union

Just read that forum, my word, there is some real anger on there. They are 10 points clear, after a draw against a team with excellent home form. Not bad really. I can understand disappointment in not getting more, but the criticism of the players, Conte's tactics and the Burnley's style of play is ...

Oh and non-recyclable plastics and over-the-top packaging that will end up in the sea or just stay underground long after we have gone.

People moaning or complaining about things that really don't matter. Not having a pop at people on this thread because it's jovial, but I mean in real society. Like when when you see refugees, war torn countries, starvation, children suffering from cancer etc - yet people get really angry over a mis...

I've done 2 speed awareness courses, the first time they used the afternoon to take you out in the cars and I came away a much better driver. I was more aware of my surroundings, less hesitant and an all round better driver I think. They don't do that bit anymore. The formal stuff, when watching a P...

I'd keep it as it is but just play the one leg in the semi's with home advantage to the higher placed them.

If this is the Gavin McInnes you're on about. I used to watch him on YouTube and I thought he was pretty funny, until I realised he actually meant all the stuff he said and was a regular contributor to Fox News. I thought he was being ironic. He was he founder of Vice and did some pretty funny video...

Wasn't Blake closer to £1m when we originally signed him from Bradford?

Every year for the past decade... same discussion.

Playing over 330 games at Premier League or Championship level isn't bad going for a player who has been 'found out.'

claptrappers_union

Midfielder, no bells, no whistles. Is better with better players around him though.

Shame to see he is getting grief from the fans there. Maybe they were expecting too much from him?

claptrappers_union

Im confident that we will win away from home, yesterday was an opportunity missed, but listening on the radio and reading the reports we were could've come away with more, considering we were playing with 10 men too.

I remember a stat about Sean Dyche never losing as a manager against his former club. I certainly can't remember him losing against one for Burnley, was today the first one?

Around 1993 when I was about 10, I used to go to Saturday Club and play football in the gym, which is now the ETC behind the Longside. Every morning of a home game, we used to queue up by the overgrown weeds and urine stained walls and waited for the coaches to open the door. On this occasion the do...

He will wear 12

claptrappers_union

He could tackle but it was the weakest part of his game admittidly, but where where he lacked in those areas he made up for in others.

He was under appreciated at international level.

claptrappers_union

Paul Scholes was underrated

claptrappers_union

This isn't the best player I've seen against Burnley but I remember Paul Merson playing for Portdmouth. He was coming towards the end of his career but he tore us apart. I appreciated how good of a player he was.

Scenario 3: Having stayed up, Dyche fancies at least another year to push us onwards again, making the most of the increased investment on the pitch. How many years did Fat Sam stay at Bolton, for example? Dyche has proved himself with two promotions and hopefully a season of survival, perhaps the ...

Don't mind the way he left, he didn't have security at Burnley FC after Coyle, so I understand why he went to Bolton... fair play.

I'll never forgive him for the over-the-top celebrating when they beat us at the Reebok though.

claptrappers_union

I still stand by my point from October, though I don't think we will get get relegated now. But Dyche will leave next season, if not before. The scenario's are - Burnley stay up - bigger club will headhunt Dyche. The offer will be too alluring to turn down and he will feel he has taken Burnley FC fa...

We almost signed him from QPR, but he chose Portsmouth instead.

claptrappers_union

There is no evidence to suggest we are relegation candidates now. I thought we were after playing West Brom and Southamption away but even away performances are better now. We will win away games now. I think we might drop a bit in March though but by that time we should have enough of a buffer from...

10 years ago on Friday, Burnley lost 3-1 to QPR at Loftus Road, Chris McCann scored and the only other positive is that Andy Gray came off the bench but was still recovering from long-term injury. Later, Burnley would have to sell Gray to Charlton Athletic to balance the books and any hopes for prom...

Bringing him back just for his goal against Southampton which I'm confident in declaring was the goal that secured our Premier Leagur status.

I know there's a long way to go, but I'm far from concerned.

claptrappers_union

Just read some of the comments... disgusting. The bloke brought them the Premier League title, for crying out loud!

Even if they are at the wrong end of the table I think he deserves some loyalty from the fans purely for that achievement.

claptrappers_union

Attacking-wise, I thought Leicester were one of the better teams to play at Turf Moor so far. I think they just lack a bit of confidence now. They are a decent mid table side on paper I reckon.

claptrappers_union

Not much time to thrash out personal terms either, Keane should ask what they are offering and then ask them to 'double it' - and they probably will if they are coming in at this late stage.

Everytime I've watched Doctor Who, it seems to me that its more of a kids show. I get that it's for all the family and everything, but considering I don't have kids at an age that they'll enjoy it, I don't even entertain it. But I don't get why adults like it so much? I've had heated debates with pe...

Its too late for Keane to go anywhere in this transfer window. Going of reports, he is on the on the radar of really high profile clubs to which there has been little speculation or news of bids recently. I think the summer will when he activity will start there.

Give yourselves a bag pat on the back, you deserve it but also give the club some credit too.

Hunter, its not a great. Don't be fooled by the way its packaged. The film is a mess, with crowbarred in old characters, very weak new characters. A dull plot. Scenes that as stand alone are on the face of it good, nice but offer nothing to the arc of the film. Which is ok in drips. But this was mos...

I actually got the tickets for them as I was at the club way before the queues, paid cash and wasn't asked for a Clarets Number at all. In and out within a minute in the end.

Back from the screening, not a fan. Didn't like it. Too much nostalgia borrowing too much from the original for me. 5/10

Funny how some posters question if there is loyalty in football but then can't get their head round why a player stays at his club.
