How can anybody be ‘promised’ a starting place? Especially a goalkeeper, it’s a results business and JDT has high standards, he’ll be out the side soon enough.

Hope your post pointing out that absolute nonsense gets to stay, LeftWinger, others haven’t 🤷‍♂️

Another cake lover?! 😬

It's a big challenge, we all know that, parachute payments are a ridiculous rigging of the competition. But then we have a Category 1 academy and a top manager, many (most) others don't, so it's all swings and roundabouts. Oh and what were the wage bills of Luton, Cov and Sunderland's last season?

Always makes me laugh when folk try and paint Shearer as some young unknown we’d just inexplicably signed for daft money. He was a full international with England goals under his belt, a top flight hat trick to his name and he came to us straight from Euro ‘92.

I enjoyed the football, Daniel Sturridge on the other hand 🥴

That’s what players have always done after scoring when chasing the game, no? We obviously wanted to go on and win it. Now if he’d have done that after putting us 3-2 up it would back that argument up.

Called man- management, JDT knows he’s one of the few senior pros left (especially in forward positions). Needs him to feel like he’s the dog’s bollocks, regardless of he is or not.

What would I be moaning about re the product itself? I buy one for 23 league games at Ewood, I get what I pay for. What I do ‘moan’ about is the fact the club does absolutely nothing to try and get more than c8500 to join me, indeed they price it at a level to actively avoid it.

They don’t count either, they actually had a thread on it 😁

Not that I would ever want to spend my time arguing with Dingles, it’s bad enough on here with your own fans. But the difference being he gets gentle ribbing on here, whereas on UTC, you would be hounded off in minutes in an hail of expletives after being told of Jack Walker being dead and hoping the club follows him.

He’s back with the ‘little owd Burnley’ , ‘how can we possibly compete with the likes of Luton, Bournemouth, Sheff United et al’ routine already, despite looking like being close to spending £100million by the close of the window… just nine months of it to go 🙄

You got spanked 3-0, had a lighter chucked at a player, another fan tried to run on the pitch to attack a City player and you had a bloke sent off for a horrible tackle… but apart from that you were absolutely amazing 🤩

Unfortunately they aren’t going any time soon ever, at least there’s a chance Swag fecks off over this decade.

End of the day not a lot will change im the short/medium term, we are in a holding pattern until we get a CEO with a new approach.

Brighton have a huge and affluent catchment area, they spent a fair bit of time in the 80s in the top flight and generally have had a lot of time in the second tier. Now Bournemouth and Brentford you can make a case for being historically third/fourth tier clubs with not much in the way of achievement or fanbases… but it’s a bit silly tarring Brighton with them.

Higher than most of their PL seasons, yet some Rovers fans still try to argue that lowering prices uniquely won’t work here, despite it working a treat to the west and south of us…

I thought the fanbase growing rapidly was bloody fantastic. Ewood Park packed to the rafters, shirts everywhere, BRFC back in its rightful place at the top table of English football… but each to their own 🤷‍♂️

1875+ being the extra scheme, no?

Exactly, so the players taking charge of the dressing room for a random night game won’t exactly have registered with them…

Swag this morning.

Jordan/Orville, went from never missing a game; cups, friendlies, abroad… to him and his lad supporting someone else 🤷‍♂️

So it wasn’t because Bradley Johnson played up front against Derby then?

No chance it’ll be on Sky considering there’s only two shown. Doncaster V Everton, Newport V Brentford others they would pick before us.

They can give that, but they usually give a full stand from what I’ve seen.
