Burnley v Istanbul

[Altobelli]

Bad blood between the clubs it seems over TV rights.

Burnley blamed Basaksehir for a failure to offer a stream. Discussions between officials from both clubs were described as 'heated', with no love lost between the pair.
Sportsmail understands Basaksehir asked Burnley for a 'significant six-figure sum' for the right to show the match.

'We registered our disappointment with UEFA on that, as have the FA in their report back,' Burnley's head of football operations Matt Williams said.
'We have made it clear to them that we wouldn't be facilitating anything similar for their broadcasters or supporters, as we felt that our supporters were denied the opportunity to watch the game on a legal stream.'

ITV say
Robbie Brady, Steven Defour and Matej Vydra will not be able to feature in the return leg, nor will Nick Pope, Tom Heaton and Anders Lindegaard.

Joe Hart is set to start his third straight Burnley match, while Chris Wood returned from an infected insect bite at Saints. Nahki Wells is not on UEFA's list of players registered for the game.

Should Burnley progress into the Europa League play-offs they will pick up a comparatively paltry £2.6m. £13m for Champions League!

Celtic may have to sell players as a result of losing at least £10m. Should help Rangers start to match them.

O/C If we signed anyone from Celtic, they would have to be in the u23 squad for a year at least to reach fitness levels.

Sorry Jon
The two headlines were separate issues. Wasn’t suggesting we went to Celtic for players, just how much it was impacting on them.

No Turks tomorrow

There will be no Istanbul Basaksehir fans at Turf Moor tomorrow night after the Turkish club decided not to sell any tickets to their own fans.
So the away end is closed. Meanwhile our fans can’t pay at the gate despite there being no international trouble.

What's the score with the away goal ruling tomorrow please..?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

0-0 draw and it's extra time and then penalties Alf. If it finishes a score draw Istanbul go through on away goals.

I'm going to suspend a hoop from a tree branch in my garden, then I can practice jumping through it, for when I want to go to a game.

Reading between the lines blueheeler I think SD is telling the board we need reinforcements in January, or else!

I'd have thought the need for additional players once we qualified for Europe was self-evident BT?

We all got it on this Board; its the other Board that remains a problem.
