FUCK A DUCK -
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?

To this day, I believe that Henley had it but was thrown in too soon and ruined. Needed another year or two loaned to League 1/2. -

I think the players mentioned will be picked for the Hartlepool game. As we're in uncharted territory (obviously JDT has more clue than me), I'd rather prioritise the league for now to build up a solid base of points. Target the FA Cup if we want a cup run. -

I'd love to see us try Brereton-Diaz up front in place of Gally, with Dolan on the right. -

He's right though. Anyone in recruitment will tell you that your CV is just a list of where you've worked before and little else. The key will have been explaining his impact on each role and results gained, when interviewing. Malmö and Denmark stand out as obvious roles where he excelled though. -

Given that it was Buckley's breakout season, I think it's a bit harsh. I had him and Trav (alongside Kaminski and Lenihan) as first names on the teamsheet. -
A terrific video from Burnley's shirt sponsors:

Also has the advantage of making EVERYONE match ready for the first team games if needed. So simple and yet so brilliant.

Note to self: Advising the recommended course of action that has been reiterated multiple times in many threads over many years is 'an astonishingly poor attitude'. Gotcha. I prefer to think of it as two wrongs don't make a right. So instead of responding to what you perceive to be a trolling post (thereby giving it more oxygen), just report it. -
Is it the same Henderson who was a right gobshite at Shrewsbury?

'We considered loaning Sammie back to League One' Translation: 'We're such crap judges of a player, we nearly shoved someone out the door who scored 4 in 10 when played in his proper position'. -

And yet you chose to post about it instead of reporting it. ALSO something we're not fond of. -

Why did I hear this in Brian Potter's voice? -

A bit Mowbray-esque, thinking that way 😉 -
My niece is 11 and has rejected a training contract at Man Utd to sign a proper playing contract at Burnley 🤢 Tell you what though, I played for the school team and was pretty good, but she absolutely has me on toast when play 1-1, she's fantastic.

Szmodics seems to be a 1 goal in 4 player. Let's hope he hits 10 goals this year then 🙂 -
Personally believe Rovers should seize the chance here and offer the women's games free as part of a ST. And get the games played at Ewood. We do great things at our club in the name of equality, and we should keep pushing especially while the Stanway/Walsh/Toone spotlight is on us!
-
I don't think we're holding onto it as such. I think women have just had their cathartic 'fuck you' to the men's game, and hopefully can blossom as a sport in their own right now. It also needs the chauvinists to stfu, and enjoy the sport for what it is.
-
Given that it was a decision by men to ban them from playing football from the 1920s until the 1970s (and men still regularly shit on women's football), I've no problem with them giving us a bit back. Because of men, women's football in England is barely 50 years old when it should be twice that age.

They genuinely took a legit cultural behemoth and gutted it by not giving it the time it needed. For my money, I actually wouldn't have changed the story much, but they should've let the events of the last episode play over 4 episodes or so. There also should've been a more complete reveal whereby when Jon Snow killed Daenerys, Drogon lights him aflame in rage, but Jon walks out of the fire. Aegon Targeryon. Look at how popular Harry Potter still is, GoT deserved at least that level of relevance.

Easy solution, do what John Williams did. Fortress Ewood. £250-350 pricing all around the ground. Unreserved Darwen End Lower. Away fans up in the gods, out the way. Also a good way of engineering bookings for any away player that celebrates, as it can always be construed as 'goading home fans'. Happened at least a few times back in 2007-10 -

I'll hold off judgement on most things til the end of the window, including the Dack situation. I'd have thought JDT's playing career could be exactly what Dack can learn from. Very similar type of player.
