Thanks for the heads up

Superb documentary

Did they have footage of the Preston keeper having a major meltdown at the end and almost coming to blows with some Burnley fans in the Jimmy Mac?

Remains one of the funniest things I've seen at the Turf

Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town is crying out for a coronavirus era remake

I was in the same minibus as 1fatclaret: The journey down took about a week in a 25 year old vehicle. We stopped for a few beers at a working men's club on the outskirts of town. I went for a slash and an OAP asked me if we were Burnley supporters. When I said yes he spat on my shoes. Arriving at t...

In my local Sainsbury's the Stella, Amstel, etc were all gone but the real ale shelves still had loads of stuff.

Lucky escape!

Hi again, Give my regards to your Dad. We were at college in London, at separate colleges, and managed to see the Clarets there in the First Division. We haven’t seen much of each other since those days but I hope he is well and looking after the scrap books he kept of the Clarets seasons when we w...

Regarding HDU nurses, no it’s not easy but I think the plan will be HDU nurses will be overseen and assisted by ITU nurses. It’s normally a ratio of 1 ITU nurse to 1 patient. Anyone who has worked on ITU will tell you it’s much easier looking after 1 sedated and ventilated ITU patient than 2 HDU pa...

Looking forward to Saturday night on Channel 4 at 9.00p.m. - Maradona. Love him or hate him "hand of God" & all that, without doubt one of the greatest in my lifetime. There's a documentary on Netflix about Maradona's spell at managing a Mexican football team in the Sinaloa area. Quite a good watch...

There's 195, and could do approaching 140 I guess.

I'm going to have a look on Youtube for learning by audio types.

Good luck!

As I work from home (online marketing), probably not all that much different to what I normally do, as my work won't really be impacted as more people will be online. Although, there's been things I've wanted to do - such as learn every capital city in the world. You know... sad things like that. T...

Hi JohnDearyMe, Yes I went to St Mary’s College but I lived in Burnley until my early 20’s. However, I was very friendly with a lad from Haslingden, (the elder brother of Silkyskills), if M.E. is your dad then he will know who I am. We went on the Turf together in our teens. That's right. He sends ...

Hi BFC, Yes, Joe was my grandad and moved to the retirement bungalows behind the Turf. Naturally his local was the Park View. I did wonder about the description you gave of my sister who never wore glasses. Who did you get the correction from and the news about Joe? I had a word with my sister abou...

The mrs has stockpiled so I'm going to nick a few and throw them on the pitch (like the good old days).

Haha that brought back memories. When did ticker tape and lobbing bog roll on the pitch stop?

JohnDearyMe

Washing my hands a hell of a lot more than usual which has lead to my eczema flaring up. Not worried for myself but my wife has Interstitial lung disease and is immunosuppressed so we're trying very hard to minimise her risk. She was in hospital for 4 weeks with pneumonia in January and she really ...

As per your user name. John Deary was similar. Remember him grabbing Dean Kiely by the throat at York. He was a no nonsense general at lower level.

Haha i bet Kiely wasn't expecting that after taking a swipe at Painter!

Certainly was something we lacked and to a degree still do. A midfield general. His positional play, use of the ball and the ability to grab the game by the scruff of the neck.

Yes he was a genuine leader on the pitch for us.

JohnDearyMe

Calvert Lewin has to be up there. I thought he was average. But Ancelotti has taken him to another level. Abraham has been excellent. Rashford until his injury. Ramsdale and Henderson. Lots of competition. I've not watched enough premier league football to know much about them beyond the fact they'...

JohnDearyMe

What other players other than McNeil do you think will be in the running for the prize this season? Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool?

Bet there won't be many others ahead of him.

JohnDearyMe

No idea why it wasn't given by VAR. It's a clear and obvious foul, in the box. Moss didn't think so, so it's a clear and obvious error. I'd go as far as to say it was a more obvious error than the penalty VAR did award us against Bournemouth. Its exactly the sort of incident VAR was brought in to d...

JohnDearyMe

Both Arsenal and Spurs will have left the Turf feeling very grateful to have claimed a point. Sign of a good season.

Pope 7
Bardsley 6
Tarkowski 8
Mee 8
Taylor 7
Hendrick 6
Westwood 8
Cork 7
McNeil 8*
Rodriguez 6
Wood 8

Vydra 7

JohnDearyMe

Wood and Vydra linked up quite well

JohnDearyMe

Can imagine they'll be very fired up for Saturday given their recent performances

Scousers are the vermin of England

Are you as hateful towards any other groups of people or just ones from Liverpool?

JohnDearyMe

Did anything come of his arrest at Barnsley or has it just not reached court yet?

JohnDearyMe

Very poignant thread. Wonder what some of the dad's mentioned on here from older generations would make of the modern era of football?

JohnDearyMe

Reading over the last few weeks on here Tarkowski is the best english ch only second in the league to VVD Mee should be in the England squad Taylor is the best english right back which would put him in the top 3/4 in the league Pope the best english GK and probably in the top 3/4 in the league Burn...

I'd still have a fit Luke Shaw ahead of Taylor for now. Not much in it though. If Taylor keeps performing I'm sure he'll make the squad soon.

Shaw looks like he has really piled on the pounds. Shame as he looked promising when he first came through

JohnDearyMe

Is that the last time we played them? The 3-3 at Boundary Park?

JohnDearyMe

Just read some of the silly claims on here regarding life in Singapore. Just asked a mate who works out there if much has changed recently and they said

"business as usual (except having my temperature checked each time I enter or exit the office, and washing my hands more often)"

JohnDearyMe

Would be good if something could be done to speed up the process of getting a drink at half time.

Revolutionary idea admittedly

JohnDearyMe

Fitting tribute to Brian Pilkington. Great to see the tradition of some great wing play continuing with McNeil

There's no panic from our POV.

Like I've said before, if he makes the England squad for the summer that could add more to his price tag. Especially if he plays and does well.

Has he been linked with a full international call up yet? Can't be a million miles off

JohnDearyMe

Unarguably. You’re more likely to survive a car crash than a plane crash, mind. Very true. Was just wondering if it was something the club and/or the insurers had ever flagged up as a cause for concern given the game is increasingly monetised. Perhaps not. Anyway, good to see the team spirit we have.

Would suggest that car accidents are slightly more prevalent than plane ones

Wonder what the insurance premium is for Barn West Cabs!!

Am slightly surprised that so many of them are allowed to drive in together. One accident and we could be in trouble

He has said that he is a poor man's Carrick. Well we claim to be poor and he is ours. I am so glad he is. Fantastic signing. What a bargain.

Remember Brady getting most of the attention when they both signed together but what a signing Westwood has been. Excellent value too

JohnDearyMe

Great stuff, thanks for posting Father Jack. Really interesting hearing those comments and particularly where he alluded we were at a crossroads in terms of strategy replacing the 5 or 6 older players. I suspect we'll be buying for now and that has to be the right approach, gamble on too many young...

JohnDearyMe

Fantastic result and performance given the conditions. Not surprised that Dyche chose to have a subtle and justified dig at Gibson and his lack of professionalism in his post match comments either

JohnDearyMe

Wonder who will replace him on the bench if Wood is out next game? Do we have any strikers in the U23 capable of stepping up?

Absolutely. The opportunity just hadn’t opened up in the way I’d guess both anticipated.

Lucky for us that Tarkowski has been more professional than Gibson and was prepared to bide his time

JohnDearyMe

Wasn't he subjected to racist abuse from some opposition fans one game? Might have been at Gillingham

JohnDearyMe

Have we ever had a player under contract train with another club like this? Presume this means that Long is next in line should Mee or Tarkowski be injured or suspended

JohnDearyMe

Didn't Bobby Zamora score in the first minute for Brighton a few seasons ago? Think we equalised shortly after

JohnDearyMe

Trains from London to Southampton are disrupted on Saturday too which will make it harder for some southern based clarets to make it too
