Also probably helped Brownhill’s agent being from Burnley!

Rawtenstall 57 all out at Clitheroe.

Southampton link tweeted by Nixon who is probably more reliable than the bloke who linked him with us!

Dyche improved Trippier no doubt.

As for Howe I’m sure when he looks back at his career he’ll be able to reflect on a job well done at that club.

Few journos claiming he has a job lined up. I’d be surprised. Perhaps Palace?

Hopefully Palace. West Ham other possibility?

Steve-Harpers-perm

Just watched his highlights reel on YouTube, he looks slightly better than Lowton, would definitely not be spending £15m on him , there must be a better right back in Europe for a better price Always a good idea to judge a players career off a you tube highlights package. Makes you wonder the point...

Looking at today’s figures Hyndburn and Rossendale are pretty good compared with rest of lancs so it’s a bit of a blow. Blackburn is now at 1400 plus cases. It’s the major hotspot. Yet filling up at petrol station there yesterday people still not wearing masks. !! I suppose with Eid the fear was it...

If people like you stuck to the rules we wouldn't be having to do this AGAIN!!!!!

I loved lockdown!

Steve-Harpers-perm

New restrictions for Lancashire and Greater Manchester just announced following a spike in cases.

Politicians worldwide could could literally lie about anything at the moment and the vast majority of people will just shrug their shoulders where once up on a time there would be national outrage.

On what basis?

Any idea how many other countries have done daily televised briefings?

Yeh those daily briefings most have been really tough for our esteemed PM and co especially having to prepare answers to rehearse all day.

Steve-Harpers-perm

People who refuse to self isolate on their return from Spain are probably same ones whinging about having to wear a face mask on their weekly big shop at Asda.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Depressing reading some of the early comments on this thread. A long way to go!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Sure came on late in an end of season and the announcer saying something like ‘Dwight McNeil remember the name’!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Drove through Liverpool last night must be tough for Everton fans at the minute with the amount of flags on show outside houses! Sure if we’d won a trophy this season everyone in Burnley would celebrate at home!?

Steve-Harpers-perm

A good read that. As above the best spin bowler of all time.

Steve-Harpers-perm

An amazing thread if only we had the OP in charge we’d have got more than 3 points today.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Just because he would prefer Belgium doesn’t mean we shouldn’t force him to join us. We have people who have seen his YouTube clips who demand his signing so it is only right the club should act to satisfy this crave. Wonder how many of these saying sign him were saying sign zac Clough a few year b...

We need an older goalie (lets get Ben Foster), and Lallana. then we could line up this half decent over 30s team.

Foster,
Bardsley, Long, Mee, Pieters,
Gudmundsson, Cork, Westwood, Lallana,
Barnes, Rodriguez.

not bad.

Especially if we finish in the top ten again. Imagine that!

Steve-Harpers-perm

All over by Christmas according to Boris don’t know what we are worrying about anymore.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Again I think you missed the point of the post. Quite clearly he can’t cope with the strains of the premier league. in the last 4 years he has managed a grand total of circa 30 games. Over 60% have been as a sub. But if you want the club to sponge Around 50k a week on An injury prone player that ha...

Steve-Harpers-perm

I really do not understand the Hype around Lallana. This is a player that is 32 years old. He Has not contributed an assist or a goal since 2016. He has also only played around 30 matches since 2016. I don’t understand how Burnley fans can see this as anything other than a disaster signing. People ...

Isn't it more a matter of concern over value for money? An expensive short-term signing with no sell on value.

Does every single signing we make need to have a sell on value??

Steve-Harpers-perm

:twisted: People keep saying he would be a great signing but no one has answered the question, where would he fit in our starting eleven? He is an attacking midfielder, are we planning on dropping a striker and having three on the bench? Probably best leaving that decision to the bloke who is going ...

Put mask on Catch bus/train to pub Take mask off Enter 'moderately busy' pub surrounded by total strangers I must admit that I'm (occasionally) doing it but it doesn't make much rational sense does it? Sat outside at the local cricket club last weekend and had a few pints yet to go to the local pub.

Only Grayling could manage to get beat in a rigged election.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Dion must have been getting paid per word. They’d obviously decided to hammer home the point it was ‘cold’ pre match they mentioned it that much.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Seemed to spend most of the game watching replays or close ups of the players and managers while the game went on.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Blackburn and Darwen have just announced emergency measures in order to avoid a local lockdown. Encouraging people to get tested and to wear face coverings at all times.

He had some tweets that weren't very politically correct.

To put it mildly!

Think that was the worst commentary team I’ve ever listened to. Absolutely clueless.

Takeover talk these days is a lot more exciting than the Shackleton/Ingleby days with a meeting in the Sparrow Hawk!

These aren’t so much u turns as adapting to a fast moving live situation where everyone is in new territory . Great to have cricket on its way back though not sure the grassroots league can make a mini season at this stage

Like free school meals during the summer all about adapting!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Good news and yet another u turn by Boris and co. Doesn’t take much does it!

I take it you've never been in a cricket dressing room, or tea room? That's where Boris said the problem would be, which is understandable having been in a few.....

Sorry I didn’t realise there was a rule players had to get changed there and eat in the tea room!?

Steve-Harpers-perm

Bizarre local cricket can’t start but least you can go to the pub from 6am in the morning.

Think the police and A and E will be happy with the weather forecast.

Brian Manning was a stalwart of Rawtenstall Cricket Club and a top man.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I was there too that day... I'm pretty sure the Rawtenstall keeper, Manning played an important knock towards the end too. It was one of the best games I've seen at any level of cricket. Border and Woody were both drinking in the Old House long into the night after the game. Good story Fatboy47! So...

There is an article on Peter Wood in one of the recent Wisden monthly editions. Excellent batsman.

There's an amazing colour film on YouTube of Bacup vs Rawtenstall in 1949, with some great footage of Everton Weekes batting (and a crowd of about 15,000 watching). Sad news one of the many greats to grace the Lancs League. Here’s a link to the film. https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-cricke...

Is there not a bit of controversy surrounding this ‘professor’?

Interesting comments in after match interview with Dyche saying the ‘dynamics of the club had changed in the past 100 days’??

Steve-Harpers-perm

Maybe it’s an age thing but from 2000 onwards I think I’d struggle to name the teams who played each other in the final. Just seemed to feel more important when for example we reached the 3rd round like against Man City and then of course the famous Derby ties under Mullen. Then the neutral venues a...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Depends. Perhaps Rigg is the one touting for younger players with a sale on value and Dyche sticking for end-of-the-career tried and trusted pros. IF that is the case MG is right to give more credence to Rigg, notwithstanding the great work done by SD over the past seven and a half years. Think I’d...

There does seem to be a real fear about any rumoured investment! I’m pretty sure there is a middle ground from an outside party investing and doing a ‘Bradford, Portsmouth going back to the 4th division’ etc etc.
