    To be honest mate my response was tongue in cheek. I'm aware you probably had an explanation why you thought it was for show.

    This'll probably explain it, these were the people we'd regularly use.
    https://www.islamic-relief.org.uk/giving/islamic-giving/ramadan/kaffarah/

    My boss was Royal Family so expected to set an example ...

    ... truth is, they make a big show of being pious but rarely are.

    And there are so many exceptions it's easy to skip the 'dawn til dusk' guidelines. I may be speaking out of turn but I seriously doubt the Burnley players are as strictly observant away from the public eye.

    'Kaffarah is a charitable compensation made by Muslims for intentionally breaking any fasts during the holy month of Ramadan, without a valid reason.

    How much is Kaffarah for Ramadan 2023?
    To atone for the intentionally broken fast, you must fast continuously for 60 days. However, if you are unable to do that, then you have to feed 60 poor people at a rate of £5 per person (the cost of an average meal in the UK). As a result, this amounts to £300 for each intentionally missed/broken fast.'

    Head scratcher this one, no idea what will be our best option, but I like the idea of taking the game to them, it might just work.

    Got nowt else to lose to be honest, we’re a proper patched up team but still dangerous if we can take our chances.

    None of this working the ball into the box all the time bollocks, need to start taking shots from the edge when the chance appears as we have the quality.

    We always seem to pull out a performance with our backs to the wall due to injuries I'll go for a point and hope to nick a win

    We have some really good players don't we ...

    ... including the bench which we'll definitely use.

    Ba for Pritchard for me hope I'm wrong but Pritchard been short lately
    also a big fan of what Michut brings to the midfield.

    But its a team game lets get about them
