It's what happens when you post crap mate. Hint: don't post so much old bollox in order to get a nibble.

I don't think it's for wums. See his post above.

Paul Smyths move made much more sense, although I’m not surprised he has struggled in the Championship. He hasn't really struggled, in spite of that VIth former's article. He's played 25 league games for them and the fans there seem to like him. It's a better season than the one he had with us in 2...

I don't think this is true, playing first team football at the highest level you can is the most important development choice you can make. That's why the entire loan system exists. As a kid trying to break into proper, mens football - absolutely. As a seasoned pro, who's probably been doing the sa...

Cant Dr Woke just time travel and get some more money though?

Or go to a time when all the bigots have died out?

That's cool.

Yes the money is nice but Vigs may well come to regret the prime years of his footballing life sitting in the stands. Anyone who loves football wants to play as much as humanely possible, I know I did. Once retired the biggest regret is you didn’t play just one more game. Do you wish you did one mo...

but personally I think he would become a better keeper playing competitive League 1 football in front of thousands, rather than playing for Burnley B team in an empty stadium. Disagree. Training day in day out with Muric and Trafford in a Championship/Premiership environment and the odd closed door...

Not sure that Burnley have a great goalkeeping coach, seen enough cock ups from Trafford and Muric this season to make an episode of It'll be Alright on the Night. :D Fair point. To be fair, most of the cock ups I've seen have been with their feet, trying to overplay football the Kompany way. I'm p...

They're not at war with the Palestinians FFS. Are you really this thick?

Look behind the scenes at some of these bellends that parade around the pitch lapping up the applause.

THEY WERE CLAPPING US!

Guessing that you weren't doing it for a career, just as a bit of fun?

He probably just means the hospitality seats.

CEB wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 9:08 am Apparently he said that in Boston you can’t see any entertainment for under 200 dollars, as a kind of “therefore chill your mittens about price rises, c***s, you don’t know you’re born”

Is that really the case? Or is it just that he’s out of touch with the ordinary man?

Lovely stuff.

Red flag talking about not being able to get a ticket for less than $200 (which is bollocks btw). Can see some steep increases going forward

What does this mean? $200 for what?

As if kids even watch Doctor Who .

Some keepers are happy to be the well-paid back-up. Look at the stats for Eldin Jakupovic since he played for the Os 10 years ago. Less than 30 starts. He's always been a back-up goalkeeper. Why not just train and take the money, better that than risk a serious injury? Vigs has done it for one seas...

I wonder what it is about the new Doctor that’s caused people to stop watching?

Has offered more than enough on the pitch when fit.

My only concern would be the amount of times he’s unavailable due to some spurious illness or another.

And yes, as others have said, I’d expect him to start coaching duties this coming season too.

Long slender neck wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 10:58 pm Wonder if Vigs fancies a league one loan next season?

Unless their current keepers leave, he ain't getting a game.

Trafford needs to be playing regularly at his age. I could see him moving on and Vigs becoming their no 2.

Vigs was with the squad on Saturday at Spurs, warming up pre game with Muric and Trafford in front of 60,000, watched the game from behind the dugout, then got to rub shoulders with Son, Maddison etc after the game. All whilst earning an absolute fortune compared to what he was earning here. I think...

Did you all miss our two games against Blackpool this season?

Time to reel Marlin in.

Yep, in cahoots with Martin from Eurovision.

You know there are rules of war & that those rules are being broken. War crimes being committed in the name of Israel, will do it far more damage long term. Yes but once the decision to go to war was taken, it was inevitable that the rules of engagement would be broken and Israel would slaughte...

Yep, everyone's been saying this for the past 2 years.
