Ref was waving yellow cards around like confetti, but when the really bad foul came he didn't take the action needed.

Subs introduced into English football in 1965 when I was 13 - when I played local football there was always a sub.

I remember the first time I heard him speak - he was impressive then and he's impressive now. His feet are firmly on the ground and that's exactly the sort of manager we need.

I looking for improvement not negatives. Just imagine where we would be if our home form was better than that of a bottom 6 team because of our amazing away form this season. You are not. You are looking for and finding any negative you can possibly find. Such as shame you are not enjoying what's h...

I might be old but I played in the days of subs - albeit only one allowed then.

ClaretTony

After a great deal of thought I’d have to say unused sub although when forced on it was up front and always preferred the number 10 shirt.

My issue is that our last 12 home games provide strong evidence that we are really struggling to win at home and that whatever we are doing at home needs changing because it ain't working. What a treat we have when it does start working then. With something that doesn’t work we are 8th in the Premi...

Anyone remember Nigel Pepper? I think we (Adrian Heath?) announced that he was signing from York City but someone else (Bradford I think) came in and scuppered the deal at the last minute for an.extra 5 grand. He was superb for Bradford following the move. As for one I wished we had signed when the...

That’s different from what he said in my son’s Match of the Day annual where he claimed he was turned down after having a trial at Burnley He wasn't turned down at all, and didn't have a trial at Burnley.

That's spot on and I know that Burnley fan. He trained with us, I believe for a few days, before going back but was not a potential signing.

Sat in front of me with Chris McCann at a reserve game when he was on trial. Didn't know anything about him at the time so wasn't concerned when we sent him back.

The whole competition has been an embarrassment this season with all but one draw turning into pure farce. And when people have laughed at it, Shaun Harvey told people to stop taking the p***, mighty fine words from a chief exec.

I'm amazed that buffoon is still in work.

Due to start at 4pm and only four ties to draw. In line with every other round it’s been a balls up and is now an hour late.

I could have sworn that he took charge of the first team for a game after Cotterill left and before Coyle arrived but can find no mention of it anywhere. Perhaps he was just assistant to Steve Davis. It was at Leicester. He wasn't in charge but he was in the dug out with Davis because he was suspen...

Would certainly be a massive change on the touchline if Dyche was replaced by Duff.

The club did some Dyche masks not long after he'd come in - I'm told he was far from happy with it.

But the support on the whole that season was incredible. It certainly was, but what happened at Derby wasn't planned and you can't plan things like that, they just happen. It all started that day when Pearce dropped the bollock and gifted them the second goal. It was amazing, I've not witnessed any...

I couldn't have said when Lol Amarnath was pro at Nelson but in 1977 his two sons were professionals at Burnley and Lowerhouse. Surinder was at Burnley for one year but Mohinder did about 4 years at Lowerhouse. In the end, dad and two sons all finished with life bans from the Lancashire League.

Now £15 per shirt to get it signed by the players, as if the club doesn't earn enough money!
