After the game I spoke to a senior Charlton employee (leaving the club after today) and asked if it is possible that RD will sell. Unfortunately I was told that it is very unlikely so I fear that there are many more battles ahead.
Well, that's got to be the story. If I was Roland (what a thought), I would say the same. Keep the pressure up, especially at the beginning of next season - from the first friendly onwards. I think that is more important than today.
Has Katrien lost weight? I can't imagine all the grief she is getting is doing her health any favours. She should jack it in for her own well-being if nothing else. It's only a job. Why live this miserable life as Roland's flak-magnet? Have some self respect!

Did I see one of the normal stewards get absolutely whacked in the east stand? Looked like he could barely stand up holding his face walking away?
From the west stand we saw about 20 stewards congregate around something and one of the normal stewards came away and had to go and lie down for a bit.
Didn't see what sparked it off. It looked for a moment that there may be some fake steward vests putting in a show. Not sure.

He looked OK after a rest though.
A bloke jumped the barrier and held one of today's posters at the camera directly in front of him - then jumped back into the ledge to go back to his seats . Bully boys in Blue grabbing him and throwing him about as he tried to make it back into the seating , so he fought back a little ... Fans were dragging him literally over the boarding whilst the stewards were dragging him towards to pitch to then escort him out! Fans got him over the hoardings and he walked up the stairs to the concourse, presumably the steward got a whack and was winded
And I was on the pitch, no fucking if's, no fucking but's.
I have to say that one of my favourite moments today was during the 2nd half. @seth plum was giving it non-stop verbals to the lino. A few of us had a whip round and quickly got £50 which we offered a steward if he would throw seth out
And I've been told off by my missus for getting grass stains on my jeans during the pitch invasion. Didn't expect that particular grief when I went out this morning......
We played quickly in the first half: bright and probing. Good moves - until Lookman misplaced the simplest of passes, and Harriott muffed the one-on-one with the keeper.
Our strikers are comical; who needs Nogoals? Vetokele is free, ball at feet - and it skids under his boot. He did the same at The Valley two years ago against Millwall, and it was comical again today.
I like Simon Church: he sprints at the defender, makes a block. It has taken our 'strikers' two seasons to understand. They are hopeless and funny, sauntering without intent. Calamity Harriott does a double step-over, then trips over himself.
Lookman is a child, stumbling over a beach-ball, a toddler crashing in to the plastic furniture in a the back garden of a pebble-dashed semi in Strood. It has taken four years for our keeper to release the ball: quickly, kick low and accurate, set the strikers free. Elliot did it accurately - it helps.
After the debacle at Bolton a few weeks ago, Jackson said: "It's all our fault." He said: "We have failed you".

Did she buy the "grass stains are from the pitch invasion" line?

He is damn right.
I think you're being incredible harsh. To say Harriott fluffed his lines is ridiculous, Heaton made an absolutely brilliant save. Lookman at times lacks a final product/decision making but he's 18 and he should have won a penalty early on. I agree that Igor struggled, but to compare him, or any of them, to Churchy...
Gonna hope the drink is speaking a bit on this one.
I wish there was a way of banning every Burnley fan on the pitch from any game next season, mugs
Totally agree!!!!!! Those burnnley supporters running around pitch with anti Roland posters sacrificing their moment of glory to fight our corner should not only be banned from every ground in the country but also shot in the street.
I was critical of them before today on another post but think that the support from them at full time was brilliant. It's ok though Roland. Only 2% ran onto the pitch and joined in
Couldn't give a toss if they had Roland out banners or not, sitting in the home end and jumping up when Burnley score, and then threatening a woman in her mid 50's because she calls you out about it, then when they get removed by stewards, they suddenly pop up at the bottom of the JS stand giving us all wanker signs. Then to cap it off going on someone else's pitch at full time, breaking hoardings along the way and continue to lord it up in front of us. No class whatsoever from the northern twunts
Sam From what I witnessed on the pitch after the final whistle and talking to a number of the Burnley fans you are wrong about the majority of them and why shouldn't they jump up when they scored, OK if they abused someone that was wrong but that was a minority and what's wrong with being from the north of England? oh yes and you can't spell cunts
Shouldn't be in the home stands in the first place though should they, so certainly shouldn't then jump up when Burnley score, or sing Burnley songs. May not be the majority of them but that was the only interaction I had with their fans and therefore that's my view of them.
As long as they do not let it be known an away fan is in the home end, why should it be a problem? I do it on many occasions.
Vetokele for all his effort in the first half is so out of shape the lacklustre swing where he airkicked at the ball summed him up since his injury last season.
Heaton was fantastic today. Got his defence out of jail big time

@SDAddick. Meet Mr. @Viewfinder. You'll get him after a while. He's a pain in the arse with verbal diarrhea, thinks he can write but actually writes bollox to get a reaction.
There was a superb double-shuffle: a six-year-old kid rushed on to the pitch, swerved the security, and joined the crowd. The huge banner draped over the directors' box with pointed arrow: LIAR. We in the Covered End are going: "Left a bit, left a bit, left - left a bit more - Bang!"
This is like The Golden Shot meets Monty Python.
Our players are bumbling children, stumbling toddlers. I laugh at them. They trip over the ball here, pass backwards to him - who might collect. They are physically weak. Midgets, really, and they are mentally dim.
We have lost eight games 3-0 this season. Eight! And 4-0 at Burnley. 5-0 at Huddersfield, and 6-0 at Hull. And many Lifers think Jackson will help us.
This is my fiftieth year of admiring Killer, Mike Flanagan, Paul Walsh, and Martin Robinson.
Makienok? Ha ha! Lookman? No. Calamity Harriott? He had another one-on-one with the keeper, and fluffed it...

Looks worthy of a caption competition this one for the security guy on the left...
"This job is terrible, maybe I should ask for a 2% pay rise from Katrien...."

The blue vis guys must have been on a bonus by perpetrator caught, they were the most aggro part of the ground by a mile.
Coppers seemed pretty professional if not well led.
Normal stewards were as usual fantastic by us.
The blue vis guys were very very poor and I hope some of them are handed a criminal conviction, I fear this is unlikely.

Richard, why does no one like us?

Shame they can't differentiate a CEO from an Owner.
