Right, but they don't show the footage to give you an idea of what the driver feels, they are showing the footage to show you the driver POV of specific moments. I'm not really sure what you're arguing against or defending, it just seems pointless Imo to release footage of a pov where you can't actually see anything. If the purpose of the clip was to show the forces the driver is under, the over the top cockpit cam and the camera that is to the right/left behind the helmet do a far better job, it keeps the track footage stable whilst showcasing the driver being moved around in the cockpit.

I get that, but the human eye stabilises the majority of that for the driver, the driver doesn't see what we are being shown otherwise the cars would be undrivable. For the driver its far smoother albeit still under a lot of different forces. I just don't see much value in showing us footage of something the viewer cannot decipher, and something the drivers don't experience to anywhere near that level, need a happy medium really.

Oscar learning from Max there! great overtake

Great battle with Lando and George there

What is the point in the helmet cam footage? I cannot fathom why F1 release the footage with no stabilisation... It's surely not that difficult to run a stabilisation filter over the footage. I'd rather wait a minute and be able to actually see Hamilton's POV of getting past Pierre than the bouncing unstable mess of a clip that they just showed, Live feed stabilisation is very much a common technology in 2025. If they needed to add stabilisation to a 10 second clip before sending it it's not going to take more than a minute or so. They even release it without stabilising the footage onto social media. Drink every time I said stabilising

What a move max!

It really is an end of an era, isn't it. 3 people in this post that helped build and define our greatest moments. It really highlights just what a mess this club is currently in. Shakey truly missed and I bet he would have loved to have been at the match today. I really hope should JV decide to continue in football after hanging his boots up we can find a capacity for him within LCFC. I think we could also massively benefit from Big Nige returning in a senior board role to finally get some direction again and rebuild the foundations.

I have obviously missed this, is Pearson in attendance today?

2024 - Charles Leclerc SF24 1:14.9 Q3 2025 - Charles Leclerc SF25 1:15.6 Q2 exit. Pig of a car.

Calling it now, Piastri takes pole, I won't edit this comment.

Yep thanks for the correction, Even after that season had concluded we were all disappointed but I don't think many could see the absolute collapse that was just around the corner.

Things really were looking up at that time, we had sadly thrown away champions league football but we had played well the vast majority of that season (again) and it just felt like we needed only a couple of pieces of the puzzle to really click and put a genuine challenge for top 4 again, little did we know Brendan was about to assemble one of the worst back to back transfer seasons I've ever seen, bringing in Daka and Soumare (who to be fair were highly rated) and Lookman (who was worth every penny of the £15-20m we should have spent on him), alongside Bertrand and Vestergaard on stupid wages, followed by Wout Faes, Harry Souttar, Victor Kristiansen and Tete the following season, completely blowing the profits we made from Chilwell/Fofana, and to top it off letting Kasper go and not replacing him. We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in those two windows through a mixture of Covid, giving Brendan way too much power, and the stupid contracts that the club offered them, lumbering us with them for years.

Nuno seemed to be under the impression the medical staff said he was fit to play on. Surely though you’d have just asked the player? I mean nobody needed to even ask him, it took him 5 minutes to walk from behind the goal to the dugout because he stopped twice to lay down in pain. Absolutely mad decision from everyone involved.

It was all baseless speculation anyway, nobody could ever provide a source, just football rumours, Wednesday themselves said there was no deal in place according to talksport.

Right but that category 1 status was nothing to do with Dyche, the facilities were declining at the end of Dyche's time in charge. They went from category 3 to category 2, got category 1 for two seasons before failing the audit under Dyche's management. Under Kompany they went on a firesale of Dyche's players and brought in loads of players under the age of 25, with many of them 22 or under. There is absolutely no doubt the youth facilities at Burnley improved between the day Dyche arrived and the day he left, but it's also true that burnley very clearly failed to take any advantage of that academy improvement because in 10 years they produced nobody with over 1bn coming into the club. There are 6 championship clubs with Category one status, and most of them have produced players who have gone on to the top flight in recent years, burnley have barely produced anyone of note for a decade. Now, maybe Dyche was absolutely hammering at the board for massive investment into the youth academy and they kept ignoring him, who knows, but all we do know is under Dyche their transfer policy was not focused on bringing youth players or even under 21 players to the club in order to progress them through the academy. Just to clarify, I'm open to Dyche being here, providing we set the right structure in place to focus on bringing through youth players and making sure we sign players 26 or under in general, but I'm concerned by Dyche's poor track record with promoting youth or buying youth into the Burnley academy, Burnley should have been the perfect stepping stone for a young player who has been released by the top academies, or young players in the league 1/Championship academies to come and get a proper chance, as far as I can see that rarely happened.

They went from Category 3 to Category 2 under Dyche until 2020 when they were initially granted category 1, after just 2 seasons they lost it after failing their Category 1 audit in his final year. There are plenty of clubs in the Championship with category one academies. But academy categories are not audited based on the talent they produce. Yeah, it's great that under Dyche the academy improved, but they clearly made very little effort to take advantage of that category improvement through actually signing young players from around the country or abroad to benefit from it. You can have the best academy in world football but if you are not actively signing players aged 15-18, what's the point? One of the key differences between Category 2 and Category 1 is the level of funding available and resources for that Academy, Burnley failed that audit in his final yea He had 10 years, 1bn in revenue, and an improvement in the category rating, and nothing to show for it.

The manager is one of the main drivers of building an academy. If these clubs lack academy prospects it's because the managers haven't driven for one. Sean Dyche brought over £1bn into Burnley in revenue and after 10 years had absolutely nothing to show for it in terms of youth prospects. If Dyche wanted to invest in 16-18 year olds and send scouts around all of the youth academies in the Championship/League 1/League 2 in order to sign them cheap and give them opportunities, he could have.

I think if Ruud was a bit more forward in the media he would probably win *some* people over, if he came out in the interviews and said "I want this job, I can rebuild us, I want to see us playing attacking, exciting football with young hungry players, and I want to rebuild this club around the likes of Monga, Evans, Nelson, Alves etc etc" I'd probably back him over going for another gamble like Davide Ancelotti. But he's got what I would consider a typical Dutch sort of approach where in the media he's more closed off and very 'matter of fact' about the situation, rather than letting some emotion out and telling everyone he wants to lead us into the championship, he's aluded to doing that, but he's not really shown it in a passionate way even though I think he genuinely wants the job. I've not been fully convinced he is "waiting for a payoff" The question I've asked since about 5 games in, is forget the results and positions, is he showing us that if he can't keep us up can he get us out of the championship if we go down? I'm not convinced, but I think recently we have been more competitive, we've beaten Southampton comfortably, were unlucky in quite a few games under Ruud such as Man City, Palace, Brighton and Forest and have had matches where individual mistakes such as Vardy missing absolute sitters and Faes having 53 brain farts per match. Southampton and Ipswich are the obvious markers. If we beat Ipswich in the manner that we beat Southampton, I'll be somewhat convinced that we are probably going to have a core of a squad good enough to be fighting at the top end of the Championship next season. With that said. Rohl in.

Fat thumbs on my phone

This is something we really need to address as a club and it's one of the areas Rudkin and co have failed in the most, they keep allowing managers to bring in their players, and not running the club as a DOF should in the mould of say Red Bull, where players are brought in based on the needs of the club, and the managers and coaches fit in around the players. It's far easier to move a manager on, if we spoke with Ruud or Rohl or whoever the next manager is, and we identified key roles we want to see within the football club then bought players to fill those roles, we can then just bring the next manager in to play that style.

Voted Monga by mistake, Vardy!

Was just about to type something along those lines. I’d love to have see Top on the pitch shouting at players. Generally think it’s a bad thing but our players actually deserved it. Forests don’t.

Yeah that's mindblowing, Nuno was mid making a sub and had a clear choice between changing the sub and making Awoniyi play on, what possessed him to not ask Awoniyi if he can continue? The guy looks like he might have cracked a rib or something he's stood on the pitch struggling to jog holding his ribs.

Buonanotte is definitely more exciting than Ayew and offers more in attack, but statistically he really hasn't excelled Ayew. They are surprisingly close statistically, and Buonanotte has on multiple occasions played us into massive trouble this season. He's got a lot of potential, and todays goal was class, but he's nowehere near the level he was in the early stages of the season.

Classy touch from Vardy there and brilliant finish from Buonanotte
