  1. Hello Burnley my old friends, We’ve come to talk with you again.
  2. Yeah but he could make Burnley a category A++ home game, and also charge £15 for the compulsory coach to the away game.
  3. I seem to remember prices for Cardiff for the Arsenal FA Cup semi-final being around £50 and that was 15+ years ago
  4. They’re actually cheaper than I expected tbh.
  5. Are we not £429 cheapest price for new customers (as in the ones we need to attract to increase attendances)? Therefore above Watford and level with Luton
  6. You’ve just done a full post on how slow and incoherent Venkys Rovers have been in their searches for previous managers. So based on your post, why would anyone believe this. Waggot is still going through CV’s. Suhail is onto his agent buddies to see who they recommend. Balaji is wondering why Maradona isn’t picking up his phone to talk about the job.
  7. No. However we are not as important to the funding and dynamic of the English league system as Rangers are to Scotland. If Rangers ceased to exist, how long would it be before there was a serious challenger to Celtics dominance. If you think the interest, TV rights funding and sponsorship of Scottish football is low now, imagine it in that situation,
  8. Duplicate post . And I can never delete the quote from my mobile.
  9. Fair point, especially the 10 mile stat. My main point is that back in that era you had teams like Feyenoord, Belgrade, Panathanaikos and Saint Etienne in European Cup finals. The playing field was more level across Europe with less emphasis on money and power. Now it’s geared to allow the richer teams to progress, and have second chances by introducing league stages and dropping from one comp to another. The Europa League hasn’t left Spain or England for the last 10 years. I suspect Rangers would have been less likely to win this competition back in August than Celtic in to win the European Cup in 1967.
  10. Note that's not even an "I wasn't aware of any interviews" which journalist normally do to cover their backs. That is a flat out "no".
  11. I hope you are so right Chaddy because trying something different and bringing two well-respected people in could be the shake up that takes us on to sustaining a promotion challenge over the next few seasons. But call me scarred but I honestly don't believe we are going to go away from the usual incompetence. There has been no communication with Mowbray from the powers that be for months, so they knew this situation was coming all year. Yet part of me expects the players to be returning from their holidays at the end of June to start pre-season with nobody yet in place.
  12. Yeah but their players, whilst being happy, generally just went off the pitch. It was the Huddersfield players sat on peoples shoulders singing that was OTT.
  13. To win the Europa league now, when multiple, clubs from ‘elite’ leagues are involved and when champions league clubs drop in to that competition, would be a huge achievement for Rangers. It’s one thing doing it in the 60s, 70s and 80s, but in this day of crazy money available for players in the bigger leagues, it would be a superb achievement - certainly surpassing any previous European triumphs by Scottish clubs.
  14. I remember when either Kidd or Souness left that Dick Advocat was once nailed on at one point. He had been interviewed. He was the unanimous choice of the board. He was spotted at Ewood. He was having breakfast at the Dunkenhalgh. He'd been looking at houses. "It's big Dick" became a common catchphrase on places like here and RoversMad. Nothing materialised. I also remember Graeme Souness when he was here going silly odds-on from nowhere for the Tottenham job. Rovers were playing that day and Radio Lancs interviewed him before the game and he basically laughed and said he'd heard nothing and had no interest in leaving Rovers at this point. He was so matter-of-fact about it, he would have looked a right idiot if he'd then left. He remained favourite for a few days (as liabilities would have been quite big on him compared to everyone else) and then as more rumours circled he just drifted out to bigger odds. Very similar to Farke here.
  15. I don’t like the Huddersfield player reactions on the pitch after the game though. It’s one thing celebrating a bit but these lads sat on fans shoulders singing look like a they think the job is done.
  16. I like teams that find ways to win. Huddersfield are top of the form table over the last 25 games in the Championship. Forest are top over the last 20. Presuming Forest get through it’s the correct two teams competing in the final, and I’ve got a sneaky feeling for Huddersfield. I’ve already backed the Huddersfield to go up / Leeds to go down double. Oh, and Nathan Jones is a bit of a nob. Enjoyed watching Luton go out.
  17. But. But. But. Director of football is the way forward.
  18. And the forum is here also to disagree with people. Chaddy chooses which rumours to believe and which ones to ignore based on his beliefs / wishes. Don’t we all. You’ve heard on good authority we had interviews. People heard on good authority Mowbray was leaving last summer. We’ve had tons of rumours on ‘good authority’ that have not come to fruition. Post them by all means, but don’t get offended or protective if people disagree. And, most importantly, don’t post rumours as though they are fact to justify your opinion.
  19. Massively harsh on Huddersfield. They’ve only lost 2 of their last 28 league games going back to the end of November, which includes wins at Forest and Fulham. They’ve always looked comfortable in big games I’ve seen them in. They also knocked Burnley out the cup. I’d say they’ve flown under the radar a bit this season. They’ll beat Luton and will be tough in the final.
  20. Whilst we are having a VAR whinging day following that Burnley penalty, that’s another problem there with the Everton game. Commentators and people on here are saying that at Tottenham, although it was close proximity and the referee didn’t see it, by the letter of the new laws it was handball and therefore a penalty. But that was a penalty for shirt holding on Richardson according to the rules for the last 50 years. And yet that is ignored. If the on-pitch referee doesn’t see it or give it, then unless there is no debate that the decision is wrong VAR should not overturn.
  21. Mike Riley at the start of the season on the new handball law "If the ball strikes that arm, particularly if it is blocking a shot on goal, there is a greater likelihood we will penalise that." The proximity of the player whose hand or arm makes contact with the ball to where the ball was struck from will still be an important consideration for officials when making a decision to award handball or not.” Well in the Burnley circumstances the ball was going nowhere near the goal, nor into a dangerous position. And it was also pretty close so the proximity should be taken into account. When you watch it at actual speed it’s ridiculously harsh. Showing the ref slow-mo replays doesn’t help. He should view it at actual speed in the context of the situation. Joke of a decision. Funny though.
