Burnley have conceded 9 goals in 28 league games this season (no more than one in a match) so are on target to let in 15 goals for the season. It never quite works out like that but, to put that achievement to date in perspective, the record for the Championship is double that - 30 by Watford in 2020/21. Chelsea hold the all time record for the whole of the top four tiers of 15 (2004/05) so Burnley could, in theory, beat that too.

And of course Burnley would be playing 8 games more than Chelsea did
In Derbyshire back in 1998 Mickleover Lighting Blue Sox beat Chellaston Boys 2-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Nothing unbelievable in that anyone would think. However the penalty shoot-out lasted for 66 penalties in total

Probably one of the biggest certainties of the season was that tonight's Burnley match against Leeds would end up 0-0. With neither team having an appetite for risking a loss against one of their biggest rivals for promotion, it was always going to be a sterile affair and the fact that there was just one shot on target (a Leeds one at that) wasn't a surprise. It's now 16 league games since Burnley lost (on 3rd November to Millwall of all teams) during which time they've kept 13 clean sheets and this was also their ninth goalless draw (and sixth at home) of the season which in itself must be approaching some sort of record.
The added stat for this thread, so far as Burnley are concerned, is that they currently lie in 3rd place and are just three points off the top and yet they have only won six of their 14 home matches and no team has scored less than them at home (15) in the Championship. But only Middlesbrough have scored more than them away from home.

Chelsea’s total, although pretty amazing in itself, is slightly skewed though, seeing as they only play 38 games in the prem.
So, yesterday, away to Portsmouth, Burnley "enjoyed" an unbelievable 10th 0-0 of the Championship season (their eighth clean sheet on the bounce) and have still conceded just 9 goals in 30 games. As mentioned previously, Chelsea hold the record of 15 (in the Premiership from 38 games) but, unlike Burnley, they did concede two goals in a match.
Isn't rush keeper just normal football rules? Just because they generally choose not to rush out, there's nothing to stop them if they wanted (save for a bollicking off the gaffer).

I always thought rush Goalkeeper was anyone could drop back and play as the Goalkeeper. to stop a goal?

We always called that 'Goalie When' or 'Goalie When Needed'. Then there was 'Stick' goalie who was never allowed out.
it was 'monkey rush' at my school when anyone could drop back and go in goal. then 'rush' was a nominated 'keeper who could also (and generally did) play outfield and stick was a 'keeper who couldn't leave the goal
A little bit of artistic licence in that summary. They realised after 20 seconds and the additional player was removed - the last minute equaliser was after that short mishap with the right number of players on both teams…

What i'd like to know is how it took them 20 seconds (or whatever) to realise?
A player runs off, a player runs on. How do the lino, ref, 4th official not notice this and allow play to restart?

The same way Graham Poll gave the same player 3 yellow cards in the World cup. Mistakes happen.

Interesting to read that Barcelona women's revenue is 18.6 million dollars, Arsenal 17.9, Chelsea 13.9, Man U 11.1 and Real Madrid 10.9.

Maybe they agreed to play rush Goalkeeper?
Monkey goalie - anyone can catch the ball in their own penalty area
Monkey rush - anyone can catch the ball in their own penalty area and leave the penalty area and play upfield
