It's derby Eve....

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Sat Nov 12, 2022 7:58 pm

Just like a kid on Christmas Eve, I woke up buzzing this morning knowing it's one more sleep. Showed my girlfriend Scotty Arfield goal for the third time. Watched the Kevin Ball tackle on repeat for 10 mins. Ironed my replica kit. Got the fry stuff ready for a few neutral fans who are coming round to watch it as I'm out of the country to attend in person. And the cricket final on beforehand. I absolutely cannot wait for it all.

Not gonna be easy and they say form goes out of the window but.....3-1 Burnley (after going down early again from a Diaz goal). Tella, JRod and then Zaroury 90+2 to put the icing on the cake

How and what are we all feeling tonight folks?

Feeling like I want you to have the best day. Cos if you do, we all do. Hope you’ve called it right.

We'll come through loud and clear on the tele I'm sure. Make it formidable.

Do they have any local players in their squad? Jay and Ash will make the lads know just what this means I'm sure.

Had a few songs on the way down to get me in the mood...

Did I misread that, or did you show your girlfriend Kevin Ball's tackle?

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Sat Nov 12, 2022 8:16 pm

She was very impressed with the balls on him

Don't really know what to do with myself. Did a bit of cleaning earlier, which is unheard of on a Saturday! Trying to relax with a few beers now but it's not easy.

Been through all the emotions of it today, currently at the just want it out of the way stage. VK will have them up for it, let’s hope all Clarets have a great day and more importantly everyone has a good time and gets home safe. UTC.

That Kevin ball tackle. Truly a thing of beauty.

Must have been some power in it to spin that fat ******* like he did. Good job he was so fat and heavy or he’d still be spinning now.

If we were languishing down the bottom and they were top, then yeah I'd be thinking the same. But both of us being top 2, with potential to win and go top for the next 5 weeks, as well as bragging rights. Not been a derby like this for a while.

Bring it on

He did a EFL video with Duff taking about derby day - https://youtu.be/cJ3sK_3ho4k - he said the Kevin Ball tackle didn't hurt

Fairness to him he sat on the fence with regards to a scoreline, calling it a score draw.

Buzzing. Nervous.

Visited my gym yesterday in Blackburn and I saw a thing of beauty a young fella wearing a Burnley shirt and not a ******* shirt in sight. Confirms that the good folk of Blackburn are now turning Dingle.

Can you imagine wearing a ******* shirt in a Burnley gym derby weekend, he would have got a dumbbell rammed down his throat. Most of Blackburn support either United, Liverpool or Burnley

EarbyClaret · Post by **EarbyClaret** » Sat Nov 12, 2022 8:58 pm

This has to be the best ever backdrop to the derby in living memory (for the majority of fans)

Both clubs going well so much at steak and a month to mull over the result

Looking forward to it because I fully expect us to understand the importance of and rise to the occasion

What a great way to round off the domestic calendar ahead of the WC

The lad who runs out football on a Thursday a Blackburn fan, wears his shirt and takes the grief, but he’s a really nice lad.

Some young lad wore one on Thursday, took some grief but then took his shirt off celebrating when he scored, almost got filled in after the game, I actually thought, fair play to him, was quite funny!

The race today with Shearer unseating the rider was hopefully a good omen...Blackburn fan owners too...I backed the 2nd in Claret and Blue...another 10 yards and it would of won but had a decent day

Drove up earlier from Cambridge with two of my sons, and a mate who is a Spurs fan.
Burnley are his second team.
Had a half decent meal, at queen vic, now I’m back at B & B.
Aged 50 now, used to big games over years.
I’m nervous but in a good way, I honestly believe regardless of result tomorrow, we have a young exciting team.
Hopefully a good game, banter, **** takes
(No JW songs. They have a horrid chant I’m told. I won’t mention out of respect for his family)
I just hope not marred by violence on terraces
