[Albion] Burnley match memories

[Gazwag]

"Town full of racists"

are we allowed to boooooooo everytime Mr Unproven touches the ball

 

[studio150]

The 2-2 where we thought we had escaped with a win after the ball was cleaned from almost the back of the net and no goal was awarded. Priceless to see Dyche going redder than normal, only then to concede from a corner and turn 3 points into 1.

The 2-2 where we thought we had escaped with a win after the ball was cleaned from almost the back of the net and no goal was awarded. Priceless to see Dyche going redder than normal, only then to concede from a corner and turn 3 points into 1.

And it was Michael Keane who scored the 93rd minute equaliser. What a punch in the gut that was, when we were seconds away from getting to within 1 point of them at the top of the table. Instead we stayed down in 3rd below them and Boro...and we all saw how that turned out.

Sickener. I have precious few good memories of games with Burnley, same with Boro. We always seem to get done over.

Yes, as noted below, the 3-1 away win at the start of the season (somehow confused it with the first game some years later against Donny Rovers).

I had a car accident on the M6 on the way up to Burnley (travelling the day before) and wrote off my Golf. Aquaplaned while driving like a gold-plated tit-ninja. Made it to the game, though. Smashing!

We won the first game (a), then drew our first home game v Coventry, then lost the next twelve games in a row.
WDLLLLLLLLLLLL

So far this season

First match back at level 2 (2002 ?) (Division 1) winning 1-3. A great start to a very poor season.

That the spirit

One of our best players, Trossard is injured just like Zamora was, thought I’d throw that into the mix

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

" I think Smug Eddie was their manager". Your right, but from my seat in WSL behind the dugout, Tindall got them both sent off, in the ear of the fourth official.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I know CMS was a massive disappointment, and I know he ballsed up that late chance, but he was brilliant in that game. He gave absolutely everything, and I remember thinking he missed the late chance due to utter exhaustion.

I am not normally a CMS fan, but fair's fair.

Agreed....and then there was the goal he scored up at Burnley with a nice overhead kick

 

[LamieRobertson]

Remembering last years home game (not fondly)...one of the most blatant handballs ever and yet no penalty given ...Hendricks being the culprit joking about it with other Burnley players as they walked off.

January 1961 The Albion 3 v 3 Burnley
FA Cup. Burnley were League Champions at the time. One ot the best goals and games at The Goldstone.

One of my first games.Can remember one of our goals was from near half way line and English International Ray Pointer was playing for Burnley

 

[seagull 1979]

If we are going to be fair to CMS it’s only right to post this goal of his against them

He certainly had his moments, just not enough unfortunately

Yeah. I remember being bloody gutted coming away from that game. Really sickening

Boxing Day 1992.
A beautiful left foot screamer from outside the box from Johnny Crumplin in a 3-0 victory. One of my favourite goals.

There was also a 1-1 match in 94 where Codner and Nogan squared up to each other just before Nogan scored

Burnley match memories

One team play beautiful football but can't score (usually with goalie having game of the season)

plus

Other team play ugly and score with every chance they get (probably Wood)

equals

Brighton v Burnley

I'm not there Saturday but please make it change.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I'm not there Saturday but please make it change.

I think it just might this time, maybe.

I just can’t see the Woods-Barnes combo (with the long balls that feed them) getting any change out of Duffy, Dunk & 8ft-tall Burn.

We’ll have at least 65% possession and if Murray or Maupay can take their chances, we might send these northern dullards home with nowt.

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Burnley are a club that properly grind my gears.

Not many positive results of memories from playing them - and we seem to have done a lot in the last 20 odd years.

The alleged racism from Rodriguez was one thing - but extreme borderline racism from the fans (with monkey chants actually reported but not heard by my good self) and open homophobia at the game at theirs in April 2018 put them in the genuine ‘hate’ category for me.

 

[Medwayseagull]

Vincelot and Barnes sent off within a few mins of each other. 0-1 down with 10 men and CMS fecks up a late equaliser. I think Smug Eddie was their manager

Two goals from Sidwell at Withdean, very late in the game to pull it back to 2-2

Not sure I can actually remember a game that I was at against Burnley that we won, I won’t be there on Saturday so it won’t be me jinxing it

The stamp on Kayal (?) from Barton that was overlooked in the game we drew and CH decided Goldson wasn’t tough enough. That may have been spread over two games, memory shot

Did we start with 12 men ?

 

[WATFORD zero]

Ashley Barnes bundling Maty Ryan unceremoniously into the back of his net at the Amex about 3 seconds after coming on as sub. Shouldn't laugh really. However...

I remember laughing at the time. And he had got quite a good reception from the Amex when he came on 3 seconds earlier

And that 0-1 with 9 men was when I remember the Amex 'coming of age' and feeling like home.

 

[Surf's Up]

"Give Us A Goal" - a very cold February day in 1978 I think. Slade recorded the above song in front of the North Stand and, if I remember correctly, we then went on to beat Burnley 2-1 afterwards.

[Icy Gull]

Just checking my fantasy football team and it says that Barnes has a groin injury but has a 75% chance of playing? Obviously harder than Trossard or just a tweak

Taken a gamble and transferred him out to be replaced by Maupay

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

Ashley's hat-trick for them against us but we still won 5 -3.

Oh hang on, that's tomorrow.....
