How did Branch go? Did he look **** cause he tried too hard against his old club, or was he the bizz.?

Re: v. Burnley
 

He didn't play

Struth...out on a limb already:eek:

Anyone else see those 5 or so Burnley fans vault the gate, the one near the Crown steps, Stewards looked stunned and could do nothing, couldn't help having a chuckle.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Enjoyed today's game, our lads played really well and - dare I say it - our defence looked pretty solid in both halves, but for a scabby deflected goal we'd have taken the honours. Unfortunately, the behaviour of a few Burnley 'fans' in the Crown afterwards soured the day a little, not nice to feel uncomfortable in what is supposed to be our clubhouse.

I thought Cav was absolutely colossal in the first half, won everything he went for.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Cav got MOTM :)

Re: v. Burnley
 

good point he was immense

Re: v. Burnley
 

The incident with Akinbiyi and Phil Edwards was a bit of play acting on Phil's part and a rather heavy deliberate shove in the back by the Burnley player. Should have got at least a yellow, but just a stiff talking too by the ref. Even the Burnley fans said he was stupid to do that. Phill did go over the top holding his face as if he had been pole-axed.

They only came to see The Stanley.

Well impressed today!! I think any neutral watching would have been hard pushed to recognise who were the championship side. I think as some of the previous post's on this thread have already mentioned that the spine of the team is looking pretty solid impressed with the no.18 up front & no.21 if there not signed up get em signed up! Kenny Arthur looked solid and as Macca has said Cav was solid, I think even without Mullin we had a different dimension going out wide coming back in excellent I know it's only pre-season but I think we have every reason to be optimistic for the forthcoming season!:):)

Re: v. Burnley
 

Do we have any idea who this "Victor" is?

I did a google and apart from a top flight Nigerian striker and a veteran South American player failed to come up with anything.

May be short of being fully match fit but seems useful.

I've found a decent pic of Tom Rutter: http://www.kidsgroveathletic.com/TOMRUTTER.html. The last line may be his undoing: 'Miscellaneous Dislikes - Liverpool'! What!:o

Re: v. Burnley
 

Favourite away ground Deva Stadium?!!!

Obviously hasn't tried getting out of there in his Puegeot 106 (sic) on a match day or been baited by people in headscarves.

Re: v. Burnley
 

Without the Liverpool comment I wasn't impressed by him. I thought his ball control and awareness was poor and when in a good postion he failed to find the net with poor shooting.
