Villa and Spurs did knock us about as well as having a lot of quality in their midfields.

It's less than 3 weeks since he was deemed fit enough to start for the first time this year, and that came only one sub appearance which was itself a surprisingly early return. A lack of confidence will have a lot to do with us looking ‘tired.’ Playing in a poor team that makes game changing mistak...

He must feel on top of the world right now. What a couple of seasons he’s had and the development both on and off the pitch will be incredible.

Such a joy to watch and I wish him all the best.

So the Sean that Eugene Kan is referring to is a chap called Sean Wong https://hk.linkedin.com/in/sean-wong-3a28028?trk=public_profile_browsemap-profile - I am assuming that the Justin is not Trudeau but not placed a name yet Sean has a link to this on his LinkedIN page another piece about the same...

He’s not from the US.

Yes saw that. He’s apparently excited about our “underdog story”. Sounds like a prick

Good luck to him and welcome to Burnley.

Seems an interesting guy and hopefully the club will benefit.

Just before you do go, copy and paste that long message again and post the press release. Thanks

helmclaret

No one in this thread has said ‘it was never in support of BLM.’ It clearly was linked to them at the very start. Now it isn’t.

helmclaret

Great post.

helmclaret

Thanks Rowls. But we all have our own minds.

helmclaret

As said before, I'm very happy to receive these mild jibes. It's far preferable to the vicious stuff I suffered during the mass hysteria. Thank you for your concern about my health, however it isn't necessary. Posting here neither causes me distress nor impacts my health. I very much enjoy these th...

This press release

helmclaret

No! And neither do I. It's bloody fantastic! But we shouldn't allow the fact that we're no longer in the midst of mass hysteria allow us to delude ourselves. If massive support for BLM had not arisen during the hysteria then nobody in football would ever have taken the BLM gesture. Ever. Not once. ...

It looked like a penalty to me having seen it back on MOTD.

Lovely link up play too.

It looked like a penalty to me having seen it back on MOTD.

helmclaret

You’re making it into a complex issue.

It’s a quick gesture in support of anti racism
and equality. Tie yourself in knots by all means, but it’s that simple.

helmclaret

His link up play just before the penalty shout was top class too

helmclaret

I can’t see anyone on this board or at Turf Moor for that matter supporting BLM?

helmclaret

Probably best for you and Rowls to just ignore it going forward? Only happens a few times a season anyway now.

I've answered this above.

Where above?

helmclaret

I think it’s fair to say he’s got a keen interest in BLM

helmclaret

Hahahahaha unbelievable

helmclaret

Can you not just ignore it?

helmclaret

Don’t engage then!

helmclaret

Did you not listen to what Ben Mee said it was about?

Mind you, it was probably an incredibly weak argument.

An incredibly weak argument.

"Today's sporting event will be preceded by a series of political rallies. Those who do not want to listen or witness these please cover your ears a d close you eyes until 3pm precisely."

What series of political rallies took place today?

helmclaret

‘An incredibly weak argument…’

Like everyone who has a different view to you?

helmclaret

Yeah, but it isn’t done in association with BLM anymore. Absolutely no reference to BLM at the ground today.

Groundhog Day here. But can we all agree that the Burnley and Brighton players taking the knee today was not in support of the BLM political movement?

Haha good luck with that

helmclaret

Ok, please keep your opinions to yourself at work then.

helmclaret

I will decry taking the BLM stance until the charade stops. When I originally posted against this in the middle of the mass hysteria in favour of BLM i was called all the names under the sun and had the worst kind of accusations thrown at me for voicing the opinions I have posted here tonight with ...

I buy a ticket to watch a game of football, not to see a political/social stance others want to take.

But you’re allowed to voice an opinion on it?

helmclaret

I don’t support BLM but keep banging on about them please.

helmclaret

Anti racism and equality are human rights in my book, not political at all.

How about footballers just sticking to football.

Why should they?

helmclaret

I can’t defend the incompetence of the FA. I’m all for anti racism and equality. I guess some people have an issue with those things and have the right to boo.

helmclaret

Originally it was linked to BLM. It isn’t anymore.

That’s my point.

All the banners before the game today clearly said ‘no room for racism.’

helmclaret

To keep saying it’s a BLM gesture is ridiculous. Although no doubt The Telegraph and Daily Mail will tell you that. Yes, originally it was linked to whatever that organisation is, but ultimately its about anti racism and equality. If you want to keep banging on about BLM well I guess that’s up to you.

helmclaret

I’m not, I stay quiet. Just don’t understand the booing.

Why shouldn’t people boo?

If you don’t agree with such nonsense then you are entitled to boo. Freedom of speech/expression

What are you booing?

helmclaret

I’ve already said, Longside upper.

helmclaret

Brainwashed?

Brownhill 7 - lots of energy, moved the ball pretty quickly

helmclaret

Another one of those games where we control the first half but don’t have the quality or decision making in the last third to make the possession count. We looked absolutely shot for the last 15 minutes and the subs we brought on baffled me. Muric 4 - I still think overall we are a better team with ...

helmclaret

Definitely some in the Longside upper.

Ben Mee spoke really eloquently about why they do it. Turf Moor should be a place where everyone feels welcome.

helmclaret

We must be the only club in the football league who still boo this. It’s pathetic, embarrassing and awkward for fans, players and staff.

helmclaret

I doubt many fans knew what a horrendous financial position we were in before the play off final in 2009, yet we were on the verge of administration. Flood and Co. seemed to escape any scrutiny despite nearly running us off a cliff edge!

Didn’t he take some medication to make his hands swell on the day?

I’ve used GoDaddy a few times and never had any issues.
