@adamzander Not only that, he can only do as much as the board allows him to. If they want to not buy any talent then they won't go anywhere in reply to adamzander #

@adamzander They probably did, but then again we did make an effort to get the chequebook out and keep our squad. They haven't. in reply to adamzander #

@adamzander Well, surely they have to get more than Derby's record. Then again, it's doubtful. I really don't know what will happen in reply to adamzander #

@ahBFC Come on, exclusive #twitterclarets reveal for the real fans. If he's playing someone will work out who he is, are you at Buxton? #

@iainblackburn It's an interesting discussion though, I'm going to cover it with a post on Exiled Claret next week in reply to iainblackburn #

@iainblackburn You can't ask fans "Do you want a change?" because they'll say no – it's the FA that would need to do something in reply to iainblackburn #

@iainblackburn If you want me to choose between Burnley and England it'll always be Burnley – fans always have more interest in their club in reply to iainblackburn #

@iainblackburn with how our league system works. Club is always put over country – unless you want to change that we'll never get anywhere in reply to iainblackburn #

@iainblackburn What did El Tel do? We've basically had little success for the last 30 years – nothing to do with managers, everything to do in reply to iainblackburn #

@iainblackburn see anybody asking for his head during the qualifying campaign. It really isn't his fault if the players don't turn up in reply to iainblackburn #

@iainblackburn I don't understand the hang up with an English manager for England. It's not as though Capello isn't qualified, and I didn't in reply to iainblackburn #

@iainblackburn Fat Sam? You are joking, right? in reply to iainblackburn #

@NickBFC75 @Kurbz69 Stan must have been well oiled to sign him in the first place in reply to NickBFC75 #

@Kurbz69 Has he ever been off it? It's sad really, but what can you do in reply to Kurbz69 #

Gazza, just because you are pissed and think you know somebody doesn't actually mean you do. Is he plugging a new book or something? #

This Gazza story is a wind up isn't it? Have Sky News been done again? It's not being reported on reputable (ie. BBC) channels #moat #

Why track back when you can just leave the goal open #

Just generally useless at defending. How can you go from a free kick 30 yards at the other end to conceding? #

Officials making dodgy decisions now to compensate for the epic fail in the first half #

@ahBFC No idea then, just downloading the official version at the moment. Didn't want to brick the phone for the sake of a couple of weeks in reply to ahBFC #

Lee Dixon – legend. Can't believe we released him saying "You'll never play football lad". Terrible decision #twitterclarets #

That was the one bit of good refereeing in the match I think. Good decision. #worldcup #

Oh no, #swi should be equal. Killer chance wasted. #

Scuffed chance there. Planted into the back of Row Z #worldcup #

I'd make JC watch that, see what he left RT @MATTYB00SH: #twitterclarets Good times http://youtu.be/zL-T1blL3sI pity about the singing :/ #

8 yellows and a red. Crazy ref. #worldcup #

The ref is going to wear out his pocket pulling out all these cards #worldcup #

@MaryLNaylor I think so, or toss a coin. It's probably in the FIFA regulations somewhere in reply to MaryLNaylor #

@MaryLNaylor lol, I like the idea, not sure the Vuvuzelas would go down too well with the tartan blanket army in the Bob Lord though in reply to MaryLNaylor #

@MaryLNaylor Just shouting GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL for about 25 minutes in reply to MaryLNaylor #

Love the South American way of announcing a goal. Can't see that style being too popular down the Turf #twitterclarets #

@MaryLNaylor Yeah, Burnley teams have served up some real dross in times of old. Hopefully this season will be more like our promotion one in reply to MaryLNaylor #

@MaryLNaylor Still think if it was 0-0 at HT the ref would have abandoned – the pitch was pretty unplayable in the second half in reply to MaryLNaylor #

@MaryLNaylor Yeah, terrible afternoon of football. Weather was poor, our quality was awful. Worst match for a long time #twitterclarets in reply to MaryLNaylor #

Why can't England play like that? #por #eng #worldcup #

"They've done the job" They've done a bit more than that Mick #bbcworldcup #por #

This game so isn't going to be shown in North Korea #prk #worldcup #

Told you Ronaldo 6-0 #por #worldcup #

This is like watching Burnley defend #prk #worldcup #twitterclarets #

@NeoThermic And just like communism, it doesn't work. 2-0 down. #worldcup in reply to NeoThermic #

#prk 5-4-1-1-1 what kind of system is that? #worldcup #

Would be good for our tweetup that we have to arrange for next season #twitterclarets #

Hmm, @Gingerclaret might be onto something with a #twitterclarets mug. How about some #twitterclarets t-shirts, who'd buy one? #

Amazing quick interview with Adebayor at the end of that game. If you haven't seen it, watch it on iPlayer. Harrowing stuff. #worldcup #

Frogs on strike, classic #fra #worldcup #

What? I disappear for a bit and it's suddenly 3-1. How did this happen? #worldcup #

@NickBFC75 At least you didn't miss the first goal… in reply to NickBFC75 #

@MaryLNaylor Good luck , know how it feels – I've still got two exams next week and then I'm finished. It'll be worth it in the end in reply to MaryLNaylor #

You go away for 5 minutes and miss the bloody goal, typical #

Finally got BT Wholesale to reset the line. Now if we can get them to reset the IP profile we'll be sorted… #btfail #

@Fletchian66 @NickBFC75 The problem with them is they don't help to generate atmosphere, they just shout over the top of everything in reply to Fletchian66 #

@NickBFC75 Those inside make enough noise with those bloody horns though, should be the first thing to be confiscated in reply to NickBFC75 #

Even I have some sympathy for those that don't like football… 3 games a day across two channels that aren't called Sky is a bit extreme #

Great idea RT @NickBFC75: @beckybfc when you go to the world cup, will you please hang up an England flag with #twitterclarets on it? #

@NickBFC75 Indeed, @MaryLNaylor is closest at the moment with 2-1 in reply to NickBFC75 #

@MaryLNaylor @NickBFC75 I thought it was midday and midnight – accept no imitations in reply to MaryLNaylor #

@NickBFC75 very true, and we operated a shit or bust policy at the end of the promotion season. One game changes everything as they say… in reply to NickBFC75 #

@NickBFC75 Exactly. HMRC need to drive a 'big' club against the wall to show the rest they are serious. Can't continue with all this debt in reply to NickBFC75 #

@MaryLNaylor Certainly can, only prob is players become more expensive when clubs know how much you've got. Fletch isn't worth £7.5M yet in reply to MaryLNaylor #

@NickBFC75 At least two in that list should have already been wound up. How they carry on trading amazes me in reply to NickBFC75 #

@beckybfc @NickBFC75 very very jealous, have a good time #

@NickBFC75 I can think of one Lying Scotsman to send back across the border… in reply to NickBFC75 #

@beckybfc You in South Africa? Very jealous if you are, what games are you seeing? in reply to beckybfc #

@MaryLNaylor It's more than we usually get for players going out the door, and it's smashed the transfer record by a mile #twitterclarets in reply to MaryLNaylor #

@MaryLNaylor http://bit.ly/aMt2qA Fletcher spilt the beans in the LET yesterday. Good bit of business for us IMO #twitterclarets in reply to MaryLNaylor #

@twitter how about allowing users to set icons for hashtags in the style of #worldcup – would be quite cool #

@NickBFC75 I'm the ideas man, I don't have to implement as well as think up do I? in reply to NickBFC75 #

@NickBFC75 No idea but they should make it an option and make somewhere you could request it, good idea methinks in reply to NickBFC75 #

I reckon if we ask really nicely we could get a Burnley FC crest for the #twitterclarets tag like #worldcup and #eng #

Wonder what it feels like to have the pressure of an entire nation resting on your shoulders… #

@MATTYB00SH ta in reply to MATTYB00SH #

@Gingerclaret Doesn't he support the mighty Clarets? in reply to Gingerclaret #

@NickBFC75 He'd be better off saying "Look, let's go for promotion and I'll get another season in the PL". Good job Pato isn't short sighted in reply to NickBFC75 #

@NickBFC75 Well he's certainly helped ship enough goals last season to get himself noticed. £1M~ is hardly a PL transfer fee though in reply to NickBFC75 #

@NickBFC75 He's a cheeky bugger if that's true, not exactly like anybody is swooping in to pick him up #twitterclarets in reply to NickBFC75 #
