Excellent show. Thank you

My parents have both invested in the pub/shop and they’re very proud that the village is making a big success of it.

Trawden will always be home to me

Currently this is prevented by FIFA statutes, which have been repeatedly challenged by football promoter Relevent through a series of court cases in the US spanning the last 5 years and which are still ongoing. Critically FIFA has been a co-defendant with the MLS in all these cases - now following ...

Our discipline at all levels this season, has been utterly dreadful. A concern.

Anything like that needs continued opposition from supporters Agree. Apparently, Barcelona and Girona had been asked to play a game in Miami (I think). UEFA quashed it, saying that it was in their rulings that a national league within the organisation were not permitted to play outside of the count...

Very hypothetical, as we’re already all but relegated. However, if we were to return to the top flight at some point and with news of the ‘39th Game’ starting to resurface, please consider the question below. Would you be okay with BFC playing a HOME game in the USA, if it made £20,000,000 for the c...

It’s a really good question and I have often wondered the same… I always use Lee Mason as a casing point: his first burnley game in rate the ref was the Preston home game, where we lost 3–2. If you recall, there was an incident in the first couple of minutes where Matt Hill clearly deliberately hand...

jdrobbo

It’s part of a coil spring, and it will need replacing pretty quickly!

jdrobbo

Cheers folks

jdrobbo

Many thanks for the quiz! I was updating Rate the Ref at the time so I’ll take my second place graciously. Congratulations to Tricky Trevor! Top man

We’re looking at away travel. Possibly start by trialling by putting on two minibuses, setting off from two starting points across West Yorks…eg, Hebden Bridge and Bingley

I didn't even know supporters clubs were still a thing. I miss the days when Beeky's Colne Clarets would regularly take four or five coaches on a pub crawl somewhere and end up at a football stadium. them were't days.

Very much so.

Oh, and 6) no women - goes without saying, obviously.

Ah well that’s a problem…WYC has several regular women attendees and they’re very welcome indeed.

Ps sarcasm was detected

How are things, Mick?

It’s about time that **** mural of him on that terraced house near the Turf gets painted over.

Isn’t that Sean Connery?

Hi everyone, Please find attached, the latest RTR League Table Update. Interestingly, the middle of the table caught my eye and just 4.59 points separate Bobby Madley (9th place) and Thomas Brammall (17th place). As always, thanks to all those of you who submit ratings after attending games. It's ap...

... WHAT 2,3,4,5 things do you hope to get from being in such a group? As the person responsible for heading up West Yorkshire Clarets, this is of interest to me. We meet once a month, so offer good socialising opportunities for fans from around the region, but we've never offered transport to game...

Russell Ball’s guest, I hear?

jdrobbo

A huge thank you for sharing. It’s good to read that you are making good progress and have sought help after some incredibly difficult personal experiences and losses. You are absolutely not on your own. This forum is testimony to that and it always rallies around those in need. Therapy was certainl...

I’d let them all go to massively cut costs on wages whilst the opportunity is there but at the same time, focus on retaining as much of the spine of the team as possible

jdrobbo

Scottie Scheffler all the way

Would love it to be Rory or Ricky

Schauffele another I’d expect to do well

jdrobbo

I just want us to go and win every single game. If we’re in the championship, I want us to bounce straight back, in the highest position we can possibly achieve, then stay up…and build again!

I remember us getting spanked by them in the FA Cup in the late 90s… never liked them. We don't seem to get decent results against them

Lost 0-3 in the replay after a 3-3 away draw. They scored an amazing chipped goal down at the cricket field end

A really positive day for Lancs then John, you must be delighted.

Thrilled, Bodge…absolutely thrilled. Going to make myself some carrot batons and hummus to celebrate. Thrilled.

Double post. What would you like me to take your bag weight as?

No play until after LUNCH (earliest).

jdrobbo

Agree. I think it’s on one of those cameras that runs down a wire across the pitch. Awful

A few shouts for Laarsen but he is a loanee

Indeed, but again, he does not form part of the spine. I think we have an obligation to buy though.

jdrobbo

Agree about the left back position being a priority, but it’s not part of the spine…hence the thread.

jdrobbo

It’s an interesting one… Yellow cards… I have absolutely no issue in players ‘taking one (yellow) for the team,’ but what I do have an issue with is petulantly getting booked within the first 10 to 15 minutes of the game for deliberately kicking the ball away or for deliberately heading the ball out...

Our discipline has been pretty poor this season. Under Dyche we had six premier league red cards throughout his tenure and we’re talking games into the hundreds. This is definitely an area we should look to improve in

Before matches, I’m sure that the ground safety officer and team are obliged to carry out safety checks. Surely, surely, surely one of the very first things you do is to look up? If that was there before the game kicked off, that is negligent in my opinion. Of course, it could have come loose at any...
