I love the fact that people believe VAR and SkySports don’t have a camera to conclusively show that the ball was in or out, but Bein Sports have an exclusive ‘angle’ that proves it. Bein Sports have done a bit of computer wizardry to have a guess whether it was in or out, but it’s still not definitive. For what it’s worth, I think all 3 decisions are too close for VAR to overrule so have to be the referee or linesman call. The problem nowadays is that I think officials ‘shit out’ of making decisions, expecting VAR will just bail them out.

At least we have an international break after Friday. For once i’m quite happy there is one coming up.

He was always going to go all summer only because he was no longer number one. You have no idea whether he would have wanted to go had he played the end of last season. You also have no idea how much we 'encouraged' bids for him. His 'exit' was planned by Greggy boy. I had hoped our much-vaunted European Scouting Network had found a suitable replacement on the cheap but it seems not to be.

Sshhhhhhhhhh.

So if Carter is out and we do line up:- Travis - Hill - Pickering - Britain That means we will have our right back at left back. Our other right back at centre back. Our left back at centre back. And a midfielder at right back. Lick your lips all you shadowy Preston fans reading this.

Kaminsky was available because he hadn't regained his spot from Pears despite clearly being the better goalkeeper. Why that is nobody really knows, but I suspect the decision to try and 'cash in' was made back in March / April. Had he been number 1 when he came back last season he clearly wouldn't have been as 'available'. We have history of turning bids down for players whether they want to leave or not. We could have turned the bid down and I suspect TK's attitude would have remained spot on. The club (we are unsure exactly who) felt that the money received for Kaminsky less the moment paid for Leo was worth downgrading our goalkeeper for. But lets not pretend that we had no choice other than to let Kaminsky leave.

Great win. Dolan, Sammie and Moran all brilliant first hour. Defensively great commitment after the red card. Some big marks to give on the player ratings later. When is Pears fit?

I thought we could be wasteful infront of goal, but the lot are terrible.

Worryingly, over the last few games I’ve started to form a definite opinion on that question. It ain’t Leo.

Total football 😀😀

My first thought was ‘shove’. My second thought was VE Day 95. My third thought was ‘no foul’ 😀

I’m watching it as well. It’s pretty grim. Burnley have probably been slightly better but they look completely toothless.

It didn't help that he 'took a booking' for an innocuous shirt pull in the first half. He then became scared to tackle. After that he got a bit of a roasting.

Greggy boy has screwed us on the goalkeeping front this summer.

We have to win the cup first. 😆 I was just actually quite surprised at the prize money on offer for the Conference League. I suppose some backwater Albanian team needs the money to afford having to travel across Europe to play their qualifying games. For footballing paupers it's worth competing in.

Plus €150k for appearing in the Europa Conference League regardless of whether you win a game in the qualifying rounds. If you get into the group stages you are guaranteed €3million.

Who would have thought it - Ben Whiteman is a bit shit after all.

Not unless you are French or Norwegian. It's daft that this competition can now be broadcast abroad, but not streamed by the clubs themselves.

I agree. The last 20 minutes he was still trying to get forward a lot. However there were times he was very slow to close down when defending and was jogging across when he should have been sprinting across. He looked knackered.

Back to what I said a few weeks ago. Looked like what it was for most of the game. A team full of midfielders with no focal point or incision.

When they pay you for an hours work practically what they charge you for a pint, something is wrong.

I know it's an odd move on paper, but Rooney is only 2 games in. Some people will have you believe BRFCS posters are the most negative, unsupportive around though.

Left my seat at 3.40 yesterday to get a beer and a pie. One of the bars was closed in the JW Upper. By the time I got served the second half was just kicking off. That’s almost 25 minutes to get served! Felt extra sorry for the kids in front of me who only wanted 2 chocolate bars!

Coleman and Bell had 1 year left in their contracts. Having been relegated last year, Holt wanted to see how this season panned out before extending their contracts. Bell went on radio Lancs whinging about it.

If this is to allow a full Darwen end, I’d be curious to know what Preston’s allocation will be at 8pm on a Friday night.
