Burnley v Swansea.....

[Altobelli]

What a long close season its been.

Back in the big time again and its tomorrow.

Any Streams you know of get them down here for those not fortunate to visit Turf Moor.

Failing that join me on here during the game.

I know I'm very critical of the Burnley Board but I'll get behind the lads as usual and hopefully get the first 3 points in the bag http://i45.tinypic.com/11v5n4o.jpg

Not a link but interesting

Posted on v Swansea thread
Team news looks good as they have several key players not ready.

From Wales online
Taylor and Ki will not travel to Turf Moor, while attacking midfielder Sigurdsson is expected to start on the bench.

Young Scot Stephen Kingsley will take Taylor's place while Jack Cork, Leroy Fer and Leon Britton are expected to make up Swansea's midfield. Federico Fernandez has been passed fit to figure alongside Jordi Amat as they look to spark up a partnership in the absence of Williams, the former skipper having been told he will have to wait for his Everton debut after his own delayed start to pre-season.

Fernando Llorente looks set for his Premier League debut with record £15.5m signing Borja Baston not beginning full training with the team until after the Burnley clash.

The likely Swansea City team: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Amat, Kingsley, Cork, Fer, Britton (Capt), Routledge, Dyer, Llorente

[Altobelli]

I read somewhere that someone (Not BFC) was interested in signing Jack Cork but for the life of me I cannot remember which club ?

[CaspertheClaret]

I usually use:

First Row http://firstrowsportes.com
or

Cric free http://cricfree.net/soccer

Links will usually come up about an hour or so before the game.

Try picking a random live game now - maybe Brighton and see what it is like for you.

[Altobelli]

I have used those 2 Casper, especially Cricfree, the one I found very stable the last time we was in the Prem without having to download ad ons is

Seems this game is a near sell out.

Just read we have sold our allocation of tickets for the Chelsea game, anyone know if we was given 3,000 tickets or just 1,600 ?

Half Time: Hull City 1 Leicester City 0

[whittyclaretandblue]

1-1 bit of a soft pen if you ask me.

[Altobelli]

1-1 bit of a soft pen if you ask me.

Mike Dean is one crazy Ref if you ask me, I didn't see the incident whitty as I was watching cricket, I remember at the play off final against Sheff Utd that I was not pleased when I see he was the Ref, but on that day he seemed to give us everything and even a blatant Kalvenes foul was overlooked.

Subs: Robinson, Darikwa, Tarkowski, Gudmundsson, Jutkiewicz, Kightly, Ulvestad.

Half Time: Burnley 0 Swansea 0

An opening day game with nothing much happening, Arfield cleared off the line just before the break, Jonah gets a booking, too much long ball stuff for me, Barrow giving Ward a torrid time, Gray snatched at one and hit a good shot at the keeper when maybe a pass to Arfield would have been a better option, its only Swansea and Burnley IMO look not good enough.

[thedonz]

Lovely 3 man move started by Vokes and ending with a decent shot from Gray well saved by Fabianski.

Boyd and Arfield need to get ball more in attacking positions.

Barrow and Florente look dangerous for Swansea.


Come on Burnley

[Altobelli]

Afternoon donz.

[Altobelli]

Ohhhhh Marney heads just over the bar

[Altobelli]

Heaton makes a mistake coming out for a cross but gets away with it, very lucky Burnley

[Altobelli]

Burnley pressing well now and Vokes brings a great save from the Swansea keeper, then Boyd has a shot and the rebound is hit wide from Lowton, Get at emmmmm

Great save from the keeper off Marney

[Hurley Burnley]

Shocking stuff. No impact player available on the bench to come on and make a real difference. Investment in the squad is badly needed.

Make you right Hurley, this team is not good enough for anyone to see.

Garlick can say 3 or 4 are in the pipeline and we are looking at 10, they are not here and they bloody well should be, 19,000 plus true Clarets attending, well done to that lot but come on Garlick get phuckin real man !

[thedonz]

Right couple of whingers you two are.

Shocking stuff, my arse. Alto you need to change the record.

[edlea]

Same old, same old. Simply not good enough. Watched it live here in USA. Our usual huff and puff and no quality. If aanyone says we were unlucky, they're wrong. Swansea had 5 or 6 real chances, including one which will certainly go down as the miss of the weekend, if not the season. So their keeper stopped a couple of our shots - that's what keepers are supposed to do. The fact we haven't improved since our last Prem season and arguably got worse than the season just gone (Barton) is a damning indictment of our recruitment team and the Board. How long SD will stick around is anyone's guess.

[Altobelli]

Alto you need to change the record.

If you watched that and believe we can stay in the Premiership you are brain dead, O.K. their keeper made 2 maybe 3 good stops, 2 or 3 good moves from us, but no real penetration, no creativity, nothing to speak of coming on from the bench to change the game, this was just Swansea, not a cracking Premiership team just Swansea who are a ordinary team nothing more, and we looked well below them.

When the Burnley board change their predictable record over the last 4/5 seasons I'll change mine donz, I have nothing against the Burnley team who give their best or Dyche, its the Board who has a lot to answer for, Change the record my @rse !

[thedonz]

There was very little between the sides today. We deserved a point and to say we were well below Swansea is stupid.

[Altobelli]

"to say we were well below Swansea is stupid".

Burnley 0 Swansea 1

Burnley total shots 10 (3 on target) Swansea total shots 17 (9 on target)

O.K. I'm stupid.

Each to their own donz, just like ont tother channel with 2 threads (1)"We should have won that" and (2)"Well done Burnley".

For # 1, we did not win it, For # 2, Well done's will not keep us in this league, but you donz and all those on the other side are welcome to your opinion's, no doubt your partner TEC will be on shortly with the same Claret tinted glasses.

[thedonz]

When the signings come in and we have a team that threatens the opponents goal more I shall remind you of your limp response to defeat today alto. More faith required my man

You have reacted as if Jones, Arfield and Boyd are going to be first team regulars this season



And by the way most of those Swansea shots were backpasses to Heaton.

[Altobelli]

How can you call my response limp ? Its my opinion, an opinion on a team that won the Championship very well, but to a lot of folk who could see that that particular team could and will not compete in the Prem, we started todays game with that team minus our engine room in Barton missing and not replaced.

We have had 3 month's to prepare for the start of the season and we have done jack schit in being ready for the first game, we have not learned anything from our last jaunt into the top league, plenty of hard work, graft and willingness just like that first Chelsea game 2 years ago but little else to shout about.

IMO its not just Johah, Arfield and Boyd who are not good enough donz, there are a few more who I have reservations about, not to mention our recruitment and wages policy team which if you have not noticed seems inadequately clueless.

I'm not sure if you are toying with me or you are genuinely confident we will be O.K, either way I don't care what you are trying to do, but I do care about my Club which I carry like a hump on my back, I was annoyed the last time we was in the Prem with the board not backing Sean Dyche and the team, This time its like de ja vu and its annoying the hell out of me.

[thedonz]

No I'm not toying with you alto. The changes to the team are going to happen and you would feel better if you could accept that they are going to better than the last time.

No one is saying they wouldn't have liked them in by now but I think they will be worth waiting for starting with Flanagan and Defour

[sinkov]

I think Sean has to take a bit of the blame for that defeat. By the last 30 minutes Lowton was having a bit of a mare, but George was bailing him out as best he could in front of him. Then Sean takes Scotty off, swops George to the left, and plays Iceland in front of Lowton. Swansea, who had had a fair bit of joy down that wing, were now pinging the ball out there every chance they got, and Lowton with Johan about as much use as a chocolate fireguard in front of him, was by now in total meltdown. It would have been a miracle if Swansea hadn't got something from the field-day there were having on our right, but there was to be no miracle.

Whether he just didn't see that coming, or Johan didn't shape up as he expected I don't know, but that switch cost us the game.

You're welcome, fascinating insights every game, it's what I do.;D

[alfinyalcabo]

Some interesting comments by folks .. Didn't see the game,didn't hearse the game, but was gutted when I heard the result against a very poor to mediocre premier side who we shouldn't be losing to.. Hopefully things can only get better..on the plus side there were quite a lot of draws in the premier and the a Bastids took a sound thrashing at Wigan..

[Norder]

You're welcome, fascinating insights every game, it's what I do.;D

Just looked at the goal - yes..."could say"... was easily past Lowton to make the cross - ball was floated in, not whipped, could Mee have done better? Llonente had a free header...anyway - looked to be three others in the box that were unmarked while Burnley were ball watching.
Unlucky then that Heaton palmed to Fer, Boyd was stuck between him and Routledge.

Well take no notice of the suggestion that 'it was shocking' because only someone who hasn't watched this team before and/or is a mindless cretin would say such a thing about todays performance.

Every Burnley fan on the planet knew before kick off that we need better players but I don't see how that has anything to do with the performance of the actual Burnley team on an actual match thread about this actual game.

We played alright, not brilliant but far from 'shocking'.

I thought that we played well in the second half and for a decent spell put them under a lot of pressure. With a bit better composure and delivery into the box we would have got something out of the game.

For the Eeyore's amongst us, did I mention that we need better players? Yawn!

Well take every bit of notice about Hurley Burnley's comment about the performance being "shocking", as it's his opinion, he see's it that way, myself I just see it as poor and expected, but just because Hurley's is a different opinion than yours he does not warrant being called a mindless cretin, it seems you spend most of your time putting folk down nowadays bot ?


Threads can and do get hijacked, but I feel Hurley's slant on "Investment in the squad is badly needed" was reiterated because of a poor performance, on todays showing you would not think Jonah was a dead ball specialist, not much movement when bringing the ball out from the back, hence the long ball tactics, not even much movement from throw ins sometimes, far to many poor crosses and not beating the first man sometimes, Lowton not good enough, Ward not good enough, Arfield not good enough, Boyd not good enough, at the death when we needed a goal we bring Juke on, for what ? certainly not to score, the aforementioned are only my opinions, does that make me a mindless cretin ?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I have not seen any replays or Match of the Day.

Their goal looked to me to come from poor defending.

Keane was fouled two yards away from a certain goal.

Fabianski made three saves right out of the top drawer.

We were hardly shocking.

Swansea are a battle hardened Premier League outfit with a wily old manager.

SD needs to learn to switch formations to challenge 4-3-3 setups.

Disappointing but not shocking! :(

[sinkov]

For what it's worth that performance was exactly what I expected. We played as well as a Championship team will play in the PL, as well as we played for most of last season. As was always going to be the case though, several players proved not to be good enough, Defour and Flanagan will help, another two or three besides and we have a real chance of survival, but as it always has been, it's down to the board to get the players in. Just keep your fingers crossed, we can survive at this level, yesterday showed we're not that far off, but we need more qualty, simple as.

[ClaretinBudapest]

Correct.

I far from spend most of my time putting people down, but it's nothing new that when someone is posting sh1te I usually tell them.

I never understand the 'it's only my opinion' defence when talking sh1te.

Here's one of your opinions from yesterday Alto when replying to thedonz.......'If you watched that and believe we can stay in the Premiership you are brain dead'. Are there different rules for you?

I'm surprised that you didn't get Vokes into your list because I know how much of a fan your are of his.

[Turfmoorspirit]

Oh dear ! The curse of the botfly is on your case Alto..;D

[thedonz]

To be fair I think one or two exchanges were passed between us but it did not bother me as we have agreed on many things before. It's the emotion of the time.

As this board is obviously regrouping and still growing I have a pretty good handle on posters.

At the moment I am hopeful of good new players coming in to improve the side and keep it up. Yes, I think more should have been in by now but I refuse to belittle yesterday's performance just cos I'm miffed.

[Altobelli]

" but it's nothing new that when someone is posting sh1te I usually tell them". Then perhaps you should change your aggressive approach which used to be a common pastime on here for certain folk to try and belittle certain posters especially new one's when their views did not tally with theirs.

I have called thedonz much worse and him me, so no there are not different rules for me or him, we know and respect each others views however much we disagree and that gives us both the right to retort with "brain dead", "stupid" and many more taunts towards each other.

Hurley Burnley is a fairly new user to this Forum, and in case you forgot this board is trying to build itself up again after the exodus of many along with yourself who chose to follow the dictator to pastures new, I know why you choose to post more on the other side and I respect that even if I don't like it, You'd probably use your term "mindless cretin" to someone you know in a pub but I doubt you'd use it to a newbe walking in, unless you fancied a trip to A&E.

No my opinions on Vokes have not changed, you are happy with him and that's your opinion, but for me he's still not an out and out goal scorer, to me he's the same as John Toshack when Keegan stopped being his partner, which is very ordinary.

[Norder]

[Bin_Ont_Turf]

Alto, I would think that a newbie walking into a pub and talking sh1te would get to A&E first, anyway enough of that nonsense.

I will have to remember in future that we can only call the posters who have been posting on here a while.

I believe (I don't have any evidence, it's just my opinion) that repetitive negative posts on nearly every Burnley related thread about our chairman and board from certain posters, doesn't do a lot for trying to build this forum up. I can imagine that it puts a lot of folk off joining up or joining in.

Neither does posting every other day about what folk are posting about on the other channel. They don't seem to care what's being posted on here anyway.

I never said that I was happy with Vokes (although I'm not unhappy with him), I just suggested that you weren't. I'd like better players all over the park, in all positions, especially if we are to progress at this level. I just don't keep going on about it.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I would really love us to be realistic yet remain positive.

Can't be that hard can it?

Christ almighty I can name 70 clubs who would rip one arm off and feed it to their dog to be where we are now!

And how many of those 70, having won promotion to the PL would start their season in the PL with a weaker team than they finished in the Championship with ? I wonder how many of those 70 are thinking, 'What on earth are Burnley doing, they get a second chance at the PL and they still won't spend any money, are they mad ?'

I suppose that Blackburn, Bolton, Portsmouth, Leeds, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Norwich, QPR, Wolves, Birmingham, Wigan, Derby, Fulham and a number of others will more than likely asking those questions along with ---I wonder what happened to us along the way?

Christ BOT you certainly are a master at splitting hairs.


I have started 2 post's on the subject in the last 13 days which are now probably on about Page # 8, during those past 13 days I have not been on here for nearly a week, and when I return there are many threads with folk giving their opinion on whether they like the Boards lack of transfer activity or dislike it, I'm giving my opinion like everyone else, after all it is a message board and I go with the flow, it is not my fault that the actual threads unrelated to our Chairman/Board that I do put up are not as topical and do not generate more interest, but at least I try which is more than you seem to do.

"Neither does posting every other day about what folk are posting about on the other channel. They don't seem to care what's being posted on here anyway".

Its news is it not ? and showing how fickle some folk are, "every other day" ? I think you will find I have done it twice, strange though as when we used to frequent SwindonMad together you yourself had a passion for linking Claret Tony's threads and posts, funny that you seemingly have changed your tune, as for them not caring about what's posted on here I'm sure you'd agree that if something was posted it would be deleted by CT faster than fly's on Sh!t.


"I just don't keep going on about it".

Which is your choice to be a silent objector, I'll keep banging on about it when warranted as its a disgrace how BFC are seemingly going about it.

I could keep giving you Tit for your Tat all year but it would not get us anywhere so I will leave this thread alone now.

[Bin_Ont_Turf]

Again you assume I'm talking about just you when I actually said 'certain posters'. Also I haven't referred to Claret Tony. Your last 2 posts about the other channel actually didn't target him.

Whilst we are on about him,I bet you can hazard a guess as to why I've been able to move on and not really give a toss. Yes that's correct, he doesn't run the only proper Burnley message board anymore and can't ban folk left right and centre from it. He's not here anymore, time to move on.

Ever since the shift in January/February 'certain posters' on here think that anyone who posts on the other channel does so because they are lodged up Claret Tony's backside. In reality we all know why many shifted to pastures new, which was because this site had become unusable for many of them and the b0llocks that was fed to them from the Footymad owners.

There's nowt wrong with posting about what others are talking about on the other channel, but what I don't get is the disdain that's felt for fellow Burnley fans who are posting these posts on there.

I think that it's great that we have a choice of message boards at last.

Now I've finished my 'Tat' ;D

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I honestly do not give a flying fig who posts what on where, just as long as the ones who post on here, remember this is a forum for grown ups.

We have debated this feature of yours on here before TMS. Can't really see any one rushing to argue? ;D

[lancyclaret]

The performance may have been half-decent (6/10), but it was a "horrific" result. Dropping three points at home to almost certain bottom half teams is a recipe for disaster.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Fine margins lancy, fine margins.

[sinkov]

Fine margins lancy, fine margins.

I wish you hadn't posted that Tec. Me and my mate sat in the JHU all through the last PL season watching us slide back into the Championship, and as we discussed the games 'fine margins' became our watchword. Game after game it was 'fine margins' between a defeat and a draw, between a draw and a win. And it was, it was true, game after game, a missed chance, a good save, a poor refereeing decision, a bit of brilliance from the opposition, we were so close so often.

And then I see your post and I think, oh no, here we go again.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

We have to trust that Sean Dyche has learned how to get the lads on the right side of those "fine margins" sinkov.

Having watched United last night it will need an Herculean effort from our lads to stay up this season.

Can we do it? Yes we can!

[sinkov]

Calm down lads. we've been here before.

[ClaretinBudapest]

Good try Sinkov but in that season there were signs we would get better and the opposition sides were arguably weaker than in today`s PL.

There's signs this season CiB, it can only help when we get out of that bloody cup competition and Sean can get back to working with them down Gawthorpe, and you'd hope eventually Brady and Defour will play for us again. Plus of course there are always two or three clubs that implode during the season, they'll help as well. But it is going to be hard graft, we've shot ourselves in the foot yet again with our lack of signings, I won't dispute that.
