Does anyone else remember Laws goofing around on the BBC set after the match? I am sure he walked right in front of the camera filming the hosts before they introduced him

I'm from Salford and never felt like I was from Lancashire even though my Dad used to tell me Manchester was part of Lancashire, or used to be. I suppose its about as war of the roses as Man Utd v Leeds.

But it doesn't matter, its Leeds so I want Salford to win.

My feeling isn't that the technology doesn't work, I think it's fine. I just hadn't even considered that a goal like that would be disallowed. I feel like when the rule was invented it was probably just to stop people "goal hanging"! But like I said they have to draw the line somewhere (literally). ...

I can't see that jesus gained anything from that positioning that an onside player wouldn't have had but I suppose they have to draw the line somewhere. I'm not sure how to improve it. Maybe make it all of the attackers body being ahead of all of the defender is offside like a goal or maybe that's t...

I know its not a song, neither can it be heard on the radio but does anyone remember when the loud voice used to warn you to keep "gangways and emergency exits clear". As a kid it was almost frightening and I don't even know why.

As for songs Closer than Close and Simply the best always remind me.

Just had a glance at their forum. It seems a lot of them think its a wind up, they are trending at 2 and 3 on twitter someone said so "its working". They also quote some rules and regulations about sponsorship size that would mean it cant be real and they expect the real one to be announced tonight....

Salford, only about 15/20 mins from Old Trafford actually. Should I have picked my local team instead?!

That post from @AndyhHolt was inspired by a question from a Notts County supporter after it emerged yesterday that county have not paid players this month http://www.thebusinessdesk.com/eastmidlands/news/2026989-notts-county-staff-not-paid-for-june-say-reports" onclick="window.open(this.href);retur...

I enjoyed j Rod v forest. Plus an Andy Payton goal. I think against Wycombe where he had his back to goal. I suppose someone must have passed to him but he did the tough part!

I still really don't understand the finance thing.

If there was a Bill Gates rich Burnley fan out there how would he put the money in without us failing FFP? Would it have to be a £1bn Microsoft sponsorship to hide it whilst we build the infrastructure to match? Buy the ground for £500m?

How much do pre-season friendlies tend to be?

What a day that was. When we got back we watched the recording too. I remember feeling worried, as if the result might change if I watch it again. There was a part just after we scored when we all sang and the commentators stayed quiet, it was magical to watch back. Even though I had been there and ...

#1129 For Europe’s Soccer Chief, the Outrage Arrives in Waves A Champions League restructuring and a looming fight with Manchester City have UEFA’s Aleksander Ceferin sitting atop a soccer economy that feels as if it’s pulling itself apart. “Sometimes,” the UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said, “w...

I love the thread, I would definitely credit it with my increased interest in football finances. Although now when I talk to people about football I cant help myself but to turn it to the finances or start quoting losses but I think people like to stay ignorant to it all.

They might go to the Welsh FA and get the result overturned as a 2-1 win

At the time we thought the game shouldn't have even gone ahead as the ball kept stopping in puddles.

So when did the fans stop attending really, and what made them? The first FA cup final I remember was 1997 with Chelsea and Boro and it did still feel like a big deal although I was only a kid. But as long as I can remember unless it was a big game against a top tier side then it always seemed like ...

I wonder what it's really like to be a city fan most of the time. I imagine when they score it must be the same as being an Andy Murray fan and cheering when he gets a point against an opponent with no arms. But really getting into it like "yeaah you've got no ******* arms you ******* yeeeaah"

I love the pursuit of happyness. Story of Chris Gardner going from nothing to successful stock broker (played by will Smith) and the obstacles he has to overcome being a single dad and working for no pay etc. Really enjoyable.

I don't know why it bothers me but I find it annoying that they add sound effects to it.

As if we as humans couldn't cope with the chip laying down without that ping noise, or when the chip pushes some more chips they have to have that crunch sound, but its the same effect every time.

in terms of younger people attending, or not being as interested, I worry sometimes that football is now just a list of statistics to bet against as a lot of young people just seem to care about both teams to score or how many corners. The actual bit where the football happens comes second. Watching...

If I found out that the reason we hadn't signed any players so far was because we stood up to the same behaviour (with far more exaggerated money). Then I would be happy to keep the same team.

Does a player have to have an agent or can he read his own contract offer and negotiate himself?

edlass

I was only young so I am not sure of the score but I remember watching us get well beaten at home to Brentford in Div 2 in the late 90's (I think they were top of the league) and Carl Asaba ran past Mark Winstanley who did a strange forward roll attempt tackle on the wing and they proceeded to score...

The good thing about Joe Rogan is the guests are very varied, you don't need to watch the MMA ones (I often skip them) and they all have a separate title. Recently he has had a sleep expert on and also someone who thinks the Sphynx might be a few thousand years older than we think. He also had some ...

On the coach down I remember thinking (but not saying out loud just in case) that we were going to win, I don't believe in fate or things "being meant to be" but on that day I just knew it would be us. I am sure some Sheffield Utd fans felt the same! I'm not sure how a sport can bring up feelings li...

17 for me.

I really enjoy stuff like that

It feels weird more than anything. During my whole footballing life Arsenal means Wenger (I'm 30) and so its almost like a link to my childhood Burnley supporter self has been cut. And I don't even like or care about arsenal.

I like it when they just show the top 7 in articles or TV.

Yep, there's the big 7.

It makes me feel like we are the worst of the best and not the best of the rest!

I know there is a pinned goals thread but I just wanted to specifically praise the goal cam videos that go on the YouTube channel. Barnes' goal has just gone up and I love it. There was a few in our championship winning season I loved like the Huddersfield away ones. I'm not sure what has to go into...

When I think back to when the Sean Dyche era was still young I worried a lot. I was worried when Austin left. But didn't need to be. I was even worried when Shacks left. Definitely didn't need to be.

I'd keep off the Pepsi Max though unless you need a laxative. Do you think it works like that? It's been something I have been trying to shift for a while (no laxative pun intended).

Anything but disgusting, I check mine all the time and that's been since I had some health issues back in the summer of 2012 when tests pointed towards liver cancer, I went to the docs after my wee had gone dark brown, looking something like Irn Bru concentrate.

This might be a bit disgusting, or weird, or both but I like to see the difference in my wee after I drink a few waters, especially from when I wake up to late morning.

Fortunately, I've ended up a couple of hundred in profit over the years (yes, I know, hardly worth it really is it?), but even I could see where it could potentially have started to go - I haven't even put a £1 bet down now since last April.

Most of our decorations things were from ebay or the bargain shops but not tacky. For example, we had a circular mirror on the table with an empty fish bowl on top with some flowers in (wow I make it sound beautiful don't I? But it was actually). Anyway, we got the mirrors from the range at about a ...

With me I can usually make a fiver last a few months in my account. The best I did was turn it into £60 quid and I withdrew it. I am pretty sensible really. I just thought it was a shame it has become the picking the right gambles rather than the stories of teams and how they are doing. It probably ...

This isn’t an anti-gambling post. I just wondered whether anyone else felt the same as me. I started loving football when I was about 9 and as well as loving Burnley I actually loved everything about football, so for the last 20 years I have become (without really trying) knowledgeable about stats a...

I had so much fun. Scoring first and losing 4-1 is much more fun to a Burnley fan than it is to a City fan. That tension release when Barnes scored just paid for the whole day. And to see how fired up we made the city fans round us. They turned round on the bottom tier for each goal just because the...

Anyone mentioned the Inbetweeners first movie?

On the coach they are stuck with a load of rowdy Burnley fans who chant all the way to wherever it is they are going. a Hotel abroad or something.

I remember the 4-3 Preston match being live on the BBC and Brian Laws running on to the studio set after the match like a giddy child. It was a bit awkward but it must have really made his day (and why wouldn't it!).

I've never seen any version of it before but it really felt like it was being acted.

Especially the parts with the people doing the chasing, the quotes and glances to each other. Once I got that in my head I couldn't carry on with it. I'm not sure if its normally like that?

I like to think we are the perfect advert for stability at a club. Same manager, same core of steadily improving players, same board, same ground and definitely some luck to begin with but once someone gave us the lemons, we made our own lemonade and turned it into a factory. I know a club like Watf...

I'm in the Dad following camp. Born and raised in Salford, surrounded by Utd fans. When me and my Dad played football he would say, are we playing at Turf Moor or Old Trafford?
