My last post!

By: Matt | Comments 4 Comments

I have decided to throw in the towel on writing the Burnley Offside Blog.

I can’t give the time to write for the blog but have enjoyed every last moment of writing. I would like to thank Daryl for responding to every email I have sent him almost straight away.

I would like to use this time to ask for any Burnley fan to join up and give Daryl a buzz at daryl@theoffside.com and read this post – http://www.theoffside.com/want-to-write-for-the-offside.

I will still be milling around on the comment boards and will be helping whoever decides to become the next writer of the Burnley Offside.

Also, please help stop Accrington Stanley from going into administration. They need to raise 308k in 8 weeks. Please donate 1p to the whole 308k at http://www.saveourstanley.co.uk. No-one likes to see a club go under.

A celebration shirt.

By: Matt | Comments 9 Comments

The shirt that Burnley will be wearing at famous stadiums such as Old Trafford and Anfield is a shirt that replicates that of 1960 season when we were 1st division champions. Next season we will also be using the 1960 crest.

The Clarets are going up!

By: Matt | Comments 2 Comments

Will you believe us now? Even though we are favorites to go down next season, the clarets are going up.
Premiership football was confirmed after a magnificent 25 yarder from 30 year old right winger Wade Elliot against Sheffield United. The ex-Bournemouth player struck the ball beautifully after a wonder run in the 13th minute at home of English football, Wembley.

Oh my god!

By: Matt | Comments Add Comments

The last 3 games have been so amazing! Well 2 out of 3. I have been very busy

The first of the 3 games was QPR at home. A sweet Clarke Carlisle header deflected of a waiting Chris Eagles who was marking the goal keeper from a corner. Handball, no handball. Who cares it was a good goal and no-one can take that away from him. People still can’t work out if it is Eagles or Carlisle goal.

Cardiff away was always going to be a tough game and in the end a loss was all we could take from it.
Jay Bothroyd opened the scoring in the 74min after a flick-on past the Burnley defence and struck a fierce drive into the top right that no-one could save.
The 84min brought a bad back pass that Robbie Blake could not miss. Good goal at a good time. Clarets fans were happy with the point until Ross McCormack responded seconds later with another good goal almost from the kick-off.
McCormack confirmed the win in the 93min which ended up being the last kick of the game.

Sheff Utd was the most recent match and what a game. Wade Elliot scimmed 3 players before striking the post. Martin Paterson was the goal scorer for the Clarets after he guided a superb header past Paddy Kenny after a delightful cross from Rhys Williams to score at Turf Moor for the first time since late November, against Derby County.
There should have been so many bookings, for both teams, but no bookings were given at all by Graham Laws.

Right then. One more win and were guaranteed the play-off spot spot. The last two games according to Owen Coyle are unbelievably hard. Southampton at St. Marys and Bristol City back at the Turf.

Can we do it?

I’m not sure. If we do it, can we complete the story with a happy ending?
