    To stay alive and remain healthy so that I can still get to the Turf --no matter what else happens --and that we keep putting in the effort to stay up again.

    Do not like VAR because it is not being used throughout the whole League and Pyramid system which means that those who run the game consider that some games are more important than others which I, as a fan of football, totally disagree with.
    Having said that, I have watched the Clarets for 67 years up to now and I'll be damned if the introduction of technology will stop my going to the Turf. I can always go and watch unimportant games at Middlesbrough and Sunderland if I want to escape the trap!

    To be honest Sub I stopped watching Champions League games on't box because VAR was winding me up, never again I said, cancel that BT Sport subscription, I'm not watching any more. It took about three weeks and I was back watching them again.

    In fact, seeing some of the appalling decisions being given, and the appalling cheating by some players, I might even get to thinking it's beneficial. It could be if they get it right.

    Can't argue with those sentiments, sinkov, particularly your last line and a half, however, it will depend on just how they use the whole system and clarification needs to be given to all those involved in the game, including those fans who attend the matches. I won't hold my breath on that one though.

    1. That we stop blowing up each other.
    2. That someone will actually prove one way or the other that mankind is/is not/is partially responsible for global warming and that if we are not we can start burning coal again for cheap energy. Or go nuclear power because that makes the most sense.
    3. That Brexit no longer dominates Parliament and we just get on with them or without them and do not spend to much time and money on Euro elections.
    4. That Houghton finds another employer that actually recognises that he kept a poor team in the Prem.
    5. That Burnley spend at least as much on transferring in that they receive from transferring out.
    6. That SD (bless him) finds other clichés to describe what is essentially poor or boring play with the odd admission that maybe the tactics were wrong at times.
    7. That we uncover a couple of first team players from our pool of Development Squad.
    8. That we all lave the 2018/19 season in the knowledge that our posts were the one main reason Burnley stayed up this year.

    That my dads fit and well to watch the clarets ( he’s been going 60 plus years now)

    That we sign some players and actually have a go at some teams ( I know we can’t open up against City and Arsenal etc).

    That maybe we could get to a final ( league or FA cup) , this would be amazing , long time since we’ve been to Wembley.

    That we step away from Europe and actually believe we are brilliant instead of being told constantly we need to be part of the union.
