Has to be - and there have been a number - the worst ever referee ever to have officiated a Burnley game. He was so unbelievably biased in his decision making seeming to offer for example disproportionate punishment to our defender for such a limp challenge in the penalty area. I cannot give any mea...

Even with the usual end of financial year spend, there does seem to be an extraordinary amount of roadworks.
The cynic in me is suggesting that there will be a June election.

Now that common sense seems to have been established, eg Muric in goal , Fofarna ( excuse spelling) up front , Berge being Berge at last, Foster fit, let’s give it a good old go to the last game and see where that gets us.

I really liked him.

Ensured we got three points yesterday.
Tbh he should have been No1 Choice goalkeeper from day one of this season.

While I’ve been pondering whether to use Watercress a couple of days after it’s sell by date, I consider this metaphor on the current state of BFC. While I might just have to buy another packet of Watercress, the thought of replacing the team and it’s management team will be overwhelming. Thank good...

No he wouldn't And even if we're plsying the hypothetical game, he'd give away more goal scoring chances than Al Dak with the way he'd be asked to play. Well yes he would. Brentford fans think he has been an excellent addition to their team, providing intelligent defending and the occasional goal. ...

Tella and Maatsen should have been bought, no question.

I agree
As well as Harwood- Bellis.

SouthLondonexile

I think this subject captures the very reason we are second from bottom.
I have never seen so many passes go astray as when I saw the game at Brentford (21st October).
Essentially gifting the opposition goals.
Contrast this with the slick accurate passing last season .
It’s simply not good enough.

SouthLondonexile

A few low points really, perhaps being beaten 8 - 0 at Tottenham or learning that Spurs had bought Ralph Coates.

I once went down the Big Pit in South Wales.

I’m going down there in three weeks. Is a 6 ft 4 inch man going to struggle. Oh is Leighton James a tour guide there?

SouthLondonexile

T your well written report reflected all that I saw, I got soaked after the game making it a truly miserable day having come up from Cornwall to watch it. I’m still drying out. Just one thing in the first few minutes we had a call for a penalty but this was ruled out by VAR. Looked like a penalty to...

SouthLondonexile

You know I would agree with this. Hardwood Bellis, Maatsen and Beyer at the back would, mostly likely with Tella up front, have beaten this Brentford side. It is no exaggeration to say that Brentford might have been 12 - 0 up at half- time but for a few good saves from Trafford and our good fortune.

Berni Inns would be proud! I really miss Berni Inns, they were fantastic I’d love them to come back. Perhaps a Private Equity firm might do this, I think sometimes restaurant food has become too cheffy! Anyway back to the subject in hand , a three course meal: 1st Course - A small salad niciose,( u...

I really do understand the sentiment of the original post. It seems that when there’s a hint of an infringement Burnley will get penalised, whereas other teams are given the benefit of the doubt. The referee on Monday night was so bad , as a club we should make a formal complaint based on his incomp...

SouthLondonexile

His decision making reminded me of the worst kind of bullying. Taking centre stage, the big I am. Failed badly to give the alleged handball the proper scrutiny it merited by not checking all angles. Fosters dig in the ribs on an opponent really needed again proper scrutiny. The Forest player dropped...

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The catering has been outsourced to Compass, a massive conglomerate. Their subsidiary Chartwells has a dreadful record of feeding poor families. That they haven’t thought things through to provide food quickly and of the right standard comes as no surprise to me. I w...

p.s.
Try joining a local camera club. I am with Padiham PS who meet at Ighten Leigh and have picked up loads of information, tips and advice from others.

I think this is a really good idea.
Don’t forget too that you can take some wonderful pictures with most mobile phones.

Not long ago I asked for fans on here to rate the best four midfielders to have played for Burnley.
Despite only having played precious few seasons, every contributor pretty much placed Trevor Steven in their top four. He went on to become key player for England in Italia. 90.
A wonderful player.

You may remember a couple of years ago, a company called Chartwells was given the contract to provide lunches for families during lockdown who would otherwise receive free school meals. You may remember that they delivered to a number of families a box with six carrots and a packet cheese slices and...

Best wait and see, before commenting .
There are similarities between WW and a guy called Bob Peteers a Belgian who played for Millwall. Although limited skill set he became a cult hero at the New Den.

SouthLondonexile

That will be a shame. I sit adjacent to the away stand and I just love the abuse I get from away fans.
The atmosphere created when the Toon arrive is electric.

He doesn’t suddenly become a bad keeper.
Something has happened here. Think he is a v good keeper.

Fixtures seem to follow a similar pattern. Everton around Christmas. Man City , Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd, and Chelsea nearly always to be played in consecutive weeks. Probably Fulham away first game of the season. Chelsea away on a difficult time of 8pm on a Tuesday, making it almost impossible t...

I wish Manchester City all the best in their quest for the treble. This season they have been astonishingly good.
A proper joy to watch.
I shall be supporting them next Saturday wholeheartedly.

SouthLondonexile

On balance I would say he is ok, one of those voices you like to hear. However, there are times when I’m listening to him he appears to be watching a different game to the crowd in the stadium. The sound of their reactions to what’s on the pitch inform me better about what is actually happening in t...

As part of my fire safety training, we were shown a video taken in real time at Valley Parade. In what seemed an eternity after smoke first appeared, the whole wooden stand was suddenly engulfed in flames. In fact as I recall the gap in time between the two (smoke and inferno)was just two and a half...

A very worthwhile bit of business.

For me I assess Ashley Barnes as having improved enormously. His passing across field and his ability to find others was at times a revelation. Scoring fantastic goals as well ( particularly that Blackburn goal when he followed through!) and looking likely he would score whenever he played are the h...

Definitely played well today. However it was against a really indifferent Cardiff team.
Wonderful free kick nonetheless.

Events have shown that asking SD to leave Burnley was the right decision. Look where we are now.
Sean Dyche has chosen to work in a toxic environment. Thank goodness he will receive a severance package, probably before the summer break.

SouthLondonexile

This was a magical day.
First time at a Burnley match for my son in law and grandson just 6 years old. Every fan in carnival mood, loud and funny. The best day ever supporting Burnley FC.

SouthLondonexile

Here’s my two penny worth. Dyche benefitted from Howe’s legacy, then he only spent £460,000 on getting his first promotion to the Premier League. Everton is a toxic football club, for players and managers. I wish SD every success but he has a tough task. I would not wish to have his achievements in ...

We need some pub in Burnley to be renamed The Royal Barnes in his honour

There’s a pub in Kirkby Lonsdale called the Royal Barn.
I’ll ask them to add an ES after their name .

SouthLondonexile

I’m thinking he has impressed the gov.
I am thinking at the age of 22 cut him some slack.
We would obviously like more goals but many others have been scoring. Leave him alone , come back in a few months with your assessments when he has started more games.

SouthLondonexile

All I would say is I’m never surprised at what happens in football.

SouthLondonexile

Wonderful player.
All guts and heart. This season he has demonstrated some excellent passing skills. Fridays goal against Boro was superb.
The interview with Ash on Sky ( after the game) gave us a hint that the decision to leave at the end of the season is more his.

SouthLondonexile

Excellent scenes!

SouthLondonexile

. I know this is a question fairly put.
There’re some seriously adept business brains at the club now and I include the manager.
I am confident we are well placed to have a reasonable season in the Premier League.
Just one thing : I would like us to buy Victor Goryerkes.

SouthLondonexile

I actually think this is a decision he has made himself.
It took me a little by surprise. He is now, alongside Leighton James, my favourite Burnley player of all time.
The goal he scored last night was fantastic.

SouthLondonexile

I hope we are able to secure the services of V Gyokeres.
That will be marvellous.

As I have said on here before, be careful with what you wish for.
It’s like buying a house check out the neighbours first before you change places.

I love the meat and potato pies ( Hollands).
The only issue is the variation in heat. I have returned cold ones, I have had outrageously hot ones , which have resulted in opening up the bongela for the roof of my mouth.

You’ll find it next to the old fashioned dentist!

I don’t think Burnley FC should hang their head in shame at all. The loss of the big picture here is disappointing. This has been a proper good season where our team have played some sumptuous football and winning well and very probably getting to play this brilliant football in the Premier League n...
