Surprised he's still with Burnley.

Only in name.

I'd describe not wanting to play for us as pretty important rather than throwaway

I don't think it was personal he didn't want to play in the championship it's something we agreed to before we signed him & knew about. It's not as if he suddenly turned around 1 day & downed tools without notice.

Jakubclaret

I’m with you in the minority. I have always rated him. Sadly, many of the wooden headed ones amongst us cannot, or just refuse to accept that he could be this big asset for us. Using throw away comments like he doesn’t want to play for us and that his attitude stinks. He is in terms of ability, hea...

It’s constructive having the discussion not censoring it.

Ah yes im sure she is incredibly worried about a debate about consipracy theories on the up the clarets forum Everyone has been respectful and wished her well and its branched off into a related topic. Theres literally 0 point in the thread if its just people wishing her well because she's never go...

Sometimes it’s better to say nothing if you can’t think of anything constructive to enhance the discussion.

Not just our games. This "evens itself out" thing gets trawled out year on year to the point where people believe it as fact. Is it a fact as you claim it to be? On the balance of law of averages it isn't far out unless you've got an agenda & are desperate to excuse another sinister reason such as ...

Jakubclaret

You've just said that, not me. You said it's a fact that these things even themselves out. Back that up with some facts, I really want to believe you. You want me to go through every single game we've played & point out where we've benefited? Remember there's still some games left the season isn't ...

No, is it a fact or not.

By all means crack on if you want to blame VAR for all our woes & pretty much everything that happens under the sun I'm not stopping you.

Jakubclaret

So this is a fact , then? :D Roughly yes unless you can name 1 team that experiences all the bad luck without giving examples of any good luck. I know it's a common belief especially on here that we are hard done by but in reality we are architectures of our own downfall. VAR didn't decide that we ...

Which quarters ? He fore armed him in the face while muric had both feet off the ground.

Both jumped it was a flailing arm I've seen it.

Toney never touched the ball - it was Muric he put into the net.

I've seen them given.

Jakubclaret

What about other clubs var cock ups? Forest especially, Should we have conceded a penalty against Brentford which could have meant we conceded an equaliser? Or the toney equaliser which in some quarters was deemed soft. You'd literally be at it all day if you was to analyse all the bottom teams & a...

Jakubclaret

Exactly. Every club has a vocal group of refereeing/VAR conspiracy theorists. I have an ex colleague who supports Brentford but unfortunately I couldn’t discuss the game with him because the only thing he will talk about is how the PL doesn’t want Brentford in the league. We are where we are in the...

Jakubclaret

No I don’t. What does annoy me though, is without the VAR farces, the table would look like: 16. Everton 25pts (with a further deduction to come) 17. Luton 21pts 18. Burnley 21pts 19. Forest 20pts 20. Sheff U 14pts Then I’d think we had a chance. We’ll go down and, just like last time where Kruhl’s...

Jakubclaret

I thought we were very unconvincing - 80 mins at home to 10 men in rotten form and the fact our keeper was MoM says it all. Still have very low hope of staying up, even if it has risen slightly. It's been a dreadful season there's no covering that up. It speaks volumes when 2 teams near the bottom ...

Surely it's easier to just make sure all pundits are actually capable of analysing and presenting? It doesn't matter either way then.

Good luck with that 1 I guess in fairness it's just about as remotely achievable as my suggestion I won't be holding my breath anytime soon

Jakubclaret

We'll see,won't we. If we won because Muric made us a much better side, then we will win one or two of the games against Chelsea, Wolves and Everton. If we won because 10-man Brentford were poor, then we will probably lose. I look forward to finding out. I'm sorry you might need to refresh my memor...

Jakubclaret

Palace probably are on 28/29 I think can't be arsed looking but play forest next if forest beat them & the others pick good results up they might start looking over their shoulder. It's that last spot which is really up for contention from a palace perspective with a gap bridge elsewhere.

Jakubclaret

Farah Williams gives Garth Crooks a run for his money as being the no.1 worst pundit on the BBC. She really is painfully boring and offers no insight to the game at all. My 10 year old son could offer more knowledge than her and he doesn't even like football! Worst of all, she does a lot of damage ...

Jakubclaret

But you still mention it? You accused me of being a Rovers fan, I showed you up for talking your usual nonsense. As I said, I've never claimed to be a superfan, I just like following the Clarets, motorway or not, and am happy to go on the Turf. I can see our weaknesses but can appreciate our streng...

It doesn't remain in doubt anymore. Not there was any doubt to most people before anyway.

Therein lies the problem I don't possess the same crystal ball some of you possess if I did I wouldn't have to keep doing the lottery twice a week.

Jakubclaret

Definitely BS unless VK is putting injured players on the bench then again anything is possible in the asylum.

Jakubclaret

I really don't like women commenting on the men's game and vice versa. Last night demonstrated that the 2 on show were clueless and had no background knowledge to offer. Just wrong assumptions. Appalling. Could have spoilt a great win!😄 I agree it's probably an unpopular opinion but I'd completely ...

Jakubclaret

One, that I remember. Being slower at passing doesn't count as "clangers". I'm more referring to incidents resulting in goals being conceded. It's pretty much acknowledged now that muric is the better keeper overall so it's not unreasonable to suggest had he started earlier our points tally would b...

Jakubclaret

It is but what happens in the future you can look back at the past. I guess it's all down him learning but something is seriously wrong but someone is earning thousands per week & can't see basic things & keeps on repeating the same mistakes. I'm not quite sure just how many clangers trafford had to...

Jakubclaret

I think it's premature to look on today's performance as a vast improvement that will get us wins. Yes, we hing on against Brentford's 10 men and could have won by more (or could have drawn or lost). But we have played teams in the past, and will paly teams in the future, that are better than Brent...

Give over what? Yes we have been poor, but those 2 decisions have been accepted as being wrong

Such was the acceptance I think the BBC conducted a poll & roughly a third of the people thought the Luton goal should have stood.

Don’t forget the one Hammers should have had in the last minute that VAR didn’t give.

Or the Toney equaliser today. Things haven't been great by any stretch of the imagination but it's swings & roundabouts it's as broad as it's long.

Jakubclaret

You know, it was incredibly annoying having halfwits slating Kompany after a defeat. Now we have them doing it after a win. The only controversial thing is why this board allows threads like this to develop. Feels like wading through a cesspit. Only came on to do my player ratings. I know it's comp...

Did anybody specifically say with certainty that his contract did state that he had to play because what I read & interpreted is that some people said it was a possibility without being ce...

You could be onto something there. Only a Blackburn fan would constantly defend how we’ve been performing this season.

Not having the clubs best interests at heart you are left drawing that grim conclusion.

You know you’ve defeated a happy clapper when they roll out the old “well you won’t be there anyway” line.

It’s a classic that Nori uses frequently too.

I've got nori & Eddie both down as Blackburn fans masquerading as Burnley fans on this forum so what they think or say matters little to me.

I've read that Harry Kewell had a clause in his Liverpool contract that he would start in all major finals and, perhaps surprisingly, started the 2005 Champions League final. He was subbed early in the 1st half. He started the 2006 FA Cup Final and was subbed early in the 2nd half. Both of these ap...

The game in many ways highlighted what was needed this season, difference-makers. The goal from Fofana gave us something to defend and in turn, allowed us to create our opportunities as West Ham chased the game. It was an unusual game for us when you compare it to the rest of the season. Kompany ma...
