Apparently Burnley have been given special dispensation to involve benson and glennon, and benson was a sub the other night, as it is against the rules but burnley have been struggling to fill their subs bench.

Seems all above board ??

Good news for 2 lads who deserve some opportunity

I meant , they initially were told they couldn't play them post gtfc loan spell, only to be able to then apply for permission to do so, thanks to a genuine shortage of players to sit on the bench.

Assume it's to do with all being thrown into chaos re season loans, extended season etc

Both on bench tonight

Both unused substitutes as in-form Burnley close in on a Europa Cup place.

I suppose for Town it's better if Burnley don't reach the Europa League if we've any ambitions of getting either back on loan next season.

I think the loan market may become more important than ever for lower league clubs, us as much as any.  A couple like Benson and Glennon again would fit the bill nicely, but I suspect Burnley may want them to play higher than League 2, that's usually the case.
