He started seven games after he came back from injury, scored three goals and assisted four. Scored the crucial goal against Bradford in the playoff semi-final and forced the own goal in the final. If that's him being very ordinary imagine him on form.

Good luck to the lad. Brightened up a shit end to a season when the rest of the pansies had thrown the towel in. Showed more fight as a 17 year old in those 15 minutes than the rest of them did in the last 5-10 games.

Who cares what Celtic fans think all I know is he was excellent for us and It would be great if he signed for us so fuck em.

Christ almighty. We giving up on players after two friendlies then?

Forss isn’t worth £30k a year; get rid now

Enjoyed that. Took my littlun to their first game and they enjoyed it. Bug well and truly back. Roll on Sheff wed

I am long enough a BWFC supporter now to know there are going to be decent spells of next season when we are jjust going to have to wear disappointment. Its all about having the right mindset from the off. The aim is 50 points and fourth bottom or betterr. It is definitely the case that we need significant further strengthening to equip us for that battle. But week by week between August and May we need to individually manage the lows and turn up on Saturday and Tuesday and get right behind the team. Anything other just further reduces our collective changes of getting a foothold in this league. If we survive that first season back I do think as a club and support base we have other gears to go up. We have proved that so often before. But first we have the 2026/7 season to battle our way through.

Normal human beings who haven't been brainwashed by Nigel Farage and GBNews.

And as always the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Football fans do love an extreme. FWIW, I like him and hope we get him. But all this building him up to be the next Andy Walker (more elsewhere than on here) and some kind of saviour is setting him up for a massive fail. He’ll have less space, less chances up against better defenders and score less goals. Then we’ll have to deal with “Kenny’s not as good as he was last season and he’s failed to live up to his potential”

Its just weird to me how memories seem to be wiped every pre season. Don't over react to friendly results, dont lose your mind over transfers when theres still a month of the window to go, dont over analyse manager comments/demeanor from snippets of interviews that he doesn't want to be giving, dont write players/the team off before a ball is kicked in anger. Rinse and repeat every year!

100% and he’s not the only one to come to that conclusion on here, it’s weird. Being against illegal immigration doesn’t mean you’re a Farage fan.

Yeah but at least we can discuss actual football that’s happening on the pitch that’s doomed, instead of finance and transfer policy guesswork that’s repeatedly argued as fact 😴

Farage is Papping shite. My eyes are bleeding at some of the comments on Facebook “just tow them back” “dock in France then disembark them” 🤦🏻 you’ve got a boat full of folk wanting to leave France to get here. They could easily get into our waters as they’re not going to be shot at. Once in, if the navy tell them to turn around all they simply have to do is jump in the water, then maritime law kicks in. It’s then the navy bringing them ashore and not the RNLI

Don’t interpret this as we are ok as we are, definitely not. It would be naive to suggest we are close to a side that can comfortably compete in the Championship. We are all desperate to see who these incomings will be, that can propel us forward. However, talk of us being no better in any area is also wide of the mark. There is still plenty to be positive about and which wasn’t in place this time last year. FH and SS are another year along the line of building us up to compete at a higher level. The defensive line has been re-shaped. Early signs are good. We’ve addressed the area that was a weakness last year. They’ve also consistently been playing together in pre-season, building relationships and partnerships. Compared to blooding a questionable U-21, we have an experienced keeper who has played at this level before. Rodrigues is a massive plus. A proper pre-season behind him and one where he has excelled and looks like he can be our creative impetus this season. We’ve got added Investment into the club. There’s a confidence among the players and squad, now that they have a promotion behind them, and a belief that they can prove themselves as Championship players. We are in the Championship, and competing, in our mini-league against sides who potentially, could be facing bigger problems than us. Still a way to go, but it’s a good foundation from which to continue to build on for our 26-27 season in the Championship.

Cameron Branagan now features on the first page of a 9 year old thread and the last!

Most of the fans of our rivals are having meltdown as well. Preston, Rovers and Lincoln to name a few. Lincoln thumped by 10 man Barnsley this evening and last week a thrashing by Grimsby. Meanwhile we draw with Everton and beat Breda but we're shit.

From my experience Celtic fans make United fans look like Mensa candidates. Share about half a dozen brain cells between the lot of em.

Timely reminder - Don’t do twitter / X folks.

Whatever think about Burnhams policies he is a million times better than Starmer at getting positive stuff out there. Today he has been talking about the next stage of the nuclear deterrent that has been dragging on since the Blair days. But has made the story about getting young folk into apprenticeships and skilling up the work force of British people. This fits with the stuff earlier in the week about vocational stuff in schools. Starmers speech I imagine would have been about showing how serious we are on the world stage. Which might be true but it would hardly be engaging or relevant to most people.

Sorry for your loss. You can grieve and still be strong though mate. There is a real argument that showing your feelings and emotions at this time is a lot better than ‘holding it all in and keeping a stiff upper lip’. If you are trying to do that others might follow your lead and it just leads to a load of folk with pent up emotions. I am not saying go all scouse but equally do not be all German !!

too much worrying about friendlies, I'm just glad there's been no new injuries

Now we are fucking talking, if there's a dark bounty involved you just know we are onto a winner! 🤩

I think theyre finished fwiw Farridge has made a loads of cash though Which is what its always been about for the grifting cunt

Flyaways surely. Is there any other name for them?

Flour cakes according to my mam

More comments about Schumacher sounding fed up and defeated after the game. If thats referencing the BBC Sport interview, I just don't hear it like that. He sounds exactly like he always has, to me.

The big debate about immigration aside what this episode does do is draw attention to Spain's possessions along or just off the north coast of Africa. It has to be said that there is an element of hypocrisy about their long-standing attitude to Gibralter given they hold these possessions. Cueta is the largest and the one in the news. Further east there is Melilla, smaller but another enclave with a decent population - and many folks know about these. However there are a number of uninhabited islands, some of which are not much more than a stone's throw from the African mainland. Perhaps the most fascinating is Penon Velez de la Gomera. There are no inhabitants but there is a decent sized Spanish garrison and a helipad. It is very remote so not the same chances of African people arriving en masse as per Cueta the other day. Penon Velez de la Gomera was a large island just off the coast until a huge storm blew up and left it connected to the mainland via a beach. It is now the shortest land border anywhere in the world and you only know you cross over that border when you step over a rope on a beach. One of the world's great ecccentricities.

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

I can't be the only one getting a little anxious about the upcoming season? As things stand, we're gonna get hammered quite often.

Small mercies. There's a Championship game at 12pm most Sundays, we've avoided that graveyard slot (Stockport away last year was a 1st day of the season low). And there are a few Monday nights too, Friday night is annoying but better than Monday and we're spared those. Another fun Sky slot is 8pm Saturday. Wrexham (obviously) have got all of the above by 5th September and another Friday game 11th Sep.

I'd put it quite a bit higher than the least of our problems. Simons was barely deemed good enough to play in L1 post-January. Our record with him on the pitch from November to the end of the regular season was terrible. He's young so I'm not writing him off forever, but it has to be a concern to have him starting games in the Championship.

Anyone told them the fan march to the ground from the town centre is 6 miles? That's a lot of side to side bouncing.

I think my biggest concern is we have quite a favorable fixture list to start the season and it is worrying that any new signings from this point aren't going to be at all up to speed in time for some of these "easier" games to get us off to a good start. It might well be that some of our bigger or better signings won't be made until right up to the deadline as players become available, but that would lead to them immediately having to face Millwall away and then West Ham at home. It's certainly not ideal.

Grief is the price to pay for love. *Jimmy Carr Learn to live with it and remember there's no rule book. Sorry for your loss pal, embrace that black dog and kick it down the fucking path.

Squad numbers, 9 and 19 are both free !

Lots of possibilities here. “Euro Pacific Soccer Tournament for Egocentric Incompetent Narcissists” Cup.

tickets too cheap, obvs

How many times have we heard "He's fucking shit" after watching a new player for 45 minutes, and they turn out to be superb once they get settled? You knee-jerk idiots will never learn.

Nice enough evening out, especially as I could set off at 6.30 and was back in the house at 9.10 😊. Rodrigues is becoming our most important player, in the 20 mins he was on we looked some sort of football team. First half was a steady, pleasant enough non event, and more good experience for the young defenders and Ritchie. Start to second half was poor, as was the goal conceded, Harrington had looked ok but not the best on the shot. Last 15 we did enough to have won the game, our dithering in front of goal was painful. I'll start to feel for SS a bit if we can't get some striking and wing bodies in this week or at latest next. As we stand we're miles short of bothering even the weakest Championship defence.

UEFA really dining out on not being the worst guys in the room anymore 😄

Aye . If youve been in the armed forces , police, paramedic, ICU & Theatres , the darkest of black humour is a coping mechanism and is part of the de-stressing process to keep your sanity hanging by a thread . I remember the in house jokes made about the little girl from Blackpool that choked to death on a grape (for example) . It needed to be done as we were all practically suicidal , the shift had to be finished and the next Blue light was on the way in . From the outside looking in you would have hated every single one of us . If someone made a joke about the Burnden 33 , I wouldnt find it funny , wouldnt laugh , and think what a wanker . But that would be all .

Actually quite pleased with that lineup. Giving the fringe players some good minutes. Trying a couple of the younger players. Positives.

As with Doctors and Nurse, its a small world for Teachers If you dont pay em, get ready to lose em

Tell him that you thank him for his offer of joining his cult but as a devout follower of the Great and Almighty BOL-TAN , The Ancient Wanderer and his Endless Army of Whyte Warriors led by the Saint Mackinglaye , it would not be a wise move as the "spirit community" has already been chosen for destruction and their doom has been foretold in the annals of the Holy Scriptures known as "The Leege" However should he instead wish to join the ranks of the Endless Whyte Army , a long and arduous road lies ahead filled with pain , suffering and the blood of our enemies. But rest assured the road ends in complete and total victory and dominance and the raising of the sacred CUP of Legends aLOFT in the HOUSE of all that is righteous ! Would you like to know Moore ? (Sorry , started the beer a bit early today)

I quite like it really, feels like a middle ground between friendly and competitive. An EFL Intertoto Cup 😄

It is not just talking about IT. It is the opposite of shoe horning it is talking about offering relevant courses to the area , so preparing kids that want to work in local industries skills that match the industry, rather then thinking learning about Ox bow lakes is all that matters.

At it again , amazing that all he is doing is talking common sense and ignoring three letter abbreviations and slogans BBC NewsSchools to offer technical subjects to pupils from age 14...The government wants pupils to take courses like AI and manufacturing which are linked to local jobs.
