He’s joined the literally dozens of football reporters from local papers who have been potted in recent months by their newspaper/digital employers

Baynham played in the first FA Cup final I watched on TV, in 1959, Luton v Forest. I also remember I had a football card with him on, I think they came with packs of bubblegum

The death of Ron Baynham of Luton at 94 leaves Burnley’s Colin McDonald as England’s oldest surviving international. Am I correct?

Against Bournemouth we sat in the posh seats in the BLS for the first time in my life, front row as well right behind the Burnley subs seating. When he came off Vitinho was absolutely spent, and was spent for the next 20 minutes too

longsidetrumpet

….and if it’s the set of lads I saw walking across the pitch from the BL towards the tunnel they were certainly below dress standard for the directors box. What a set of scruffs

Trevor Meredith, our Man City match winner to secure us the championship in 1960 is 87

The worst thing of all for me is we went 1-0 down early and it didn't bother me, I didn't care and people who know me well enough will know that it's just not me to feel like that. It might be growing old, but 64 years on from my first game I’m finding nothing to interest me on the pitch or from Pa...

Yes a shock. However I thought he never cared that much about the music on his daily show, as someone says further up liked to talk over a record, and rarely told you what the tune was and who it was by. And the serious jockin? I like serious DJs, like the ones who really care about the music and ca...

He's still playing Dyche negative football.

Massengo needs a chance in his place. Brownhill is not our future

Er, the totally untried Massengo in the heart of a Premier League midfield? Give me strength

He’s quick for a centre half, but I’m not sure I believe he’s the fifth fastest player in the Premier League.

There was a Fulham player (Willian, I think), that did him for pace in the first half by a couple of yards.

And Willian’s 35 (he really is)

They'd have been better selling the shorts and throwing in the shirt !!

How about throwing in the towel as well?

longsidetrumpet

‘Head injuries’ can be the biggest con. Because of their potential serious nature refs stop play immediately. But of course in most cases the players are cheating. The’injured’ player must go off for a mandatory five minutes, that may stop the cheating, and if it is a genuine injury give the physios...

I think they showed it on motd

Yes a quick glimpse of it

longsidetrumpet

Watched the game on TV and the camera homed in on our huddle before the second half kick-off. Surprised to see it was Foster doing all the talking, Brownhill next to him doing the listening. Good to see Lyle laying it in the line

I love the Nello reference when he was Marvellous - he's outstanding in this. Unfortunately I couldn't find it on ITVX but I've watched the first three parts.

It’s on there Tony, watched part 4 last night

Not fit for purpose people go on and just tick any old thing even if they’re not interested in the match

Who was in charge of our boys on the touch line Tony?

Newspaper owning company Newsquest blazed the trail on this just a few years ago, dispensing with a dedicated reporter to cover the Premier League Clarets. What an own goal, think most people only bought the Lancs Telegraph for Clarets news and reports anyway, so another blow for its dwindling circu...

Basil will know the cheapest pints around

Crooked Billet Worsthorne, Reedley Hallows Billet Blonde and their New Zealand Pale, £3 IF you pay cash, £3.20 on a card. That’s a new wheeze introduced this week. Also, I quite like Neck Oil

The excellent Bankers Draft micro pub in Barrowford has a good tap-room type feel to it and consistently great beer selection which varies week to week. I live just round the corner and am available for guided tours

When you taking us walking football lads then?

Not a specific game but a frame of time for example The Orient game zzzzz : :lol: (Even though at the end it would of been pure joy) 19 game winless run under Cotterill. Boring football and getting beat every week in the Prem under Dyche. The toxicity under Laws. Waddle era where we was awful. Few ...

Attended Dermot’s funeral and wake today in Poole in Dorset. Great send-off to a proper Claret, and great to meet the OP sjb. Also met up with a mutual friend in former Burnley Express Clarets reporter Peter Higgs, in rude health at 78

I must have been at the game but I have no recall of it, nor Clive Griffiths, he only played 7 times for United then made the rest of his career in the USA

Coates and Thomas for me, unmistakably

Frasier is my favourite ever US comedy. There was a trailer for the reboot on YouTube which I saw, which actually didn’t give much of a clue about how the new series would work. The magic of the original series was the ensemble itself. But the ensemble hasn’t been reassembled for various reasons so ...

So sad, especially remembering he was always a such a bundle of energy. I had the pleasure of working with Dermot at the Burnley Express for four or five years in the 1970s, in the days when going to work were fun as well as busy. Like northeastclaret he played with me on Sundays with Pike Hill Bomb...

Interesting tweak during the first half. Taylor started seemingly on the left of a back three, with Browny wide left, but with us not gaining control of the game Taylor went wider to play as an orthodox left back, with Brownhill tucking more infield. It seemed to have the desired effect of improving...

I was there, truly shocking from Spurs. I hated Cyril Knowles forever after he cropped Frank. And my memory is it was tiny Phil Holder who delivered the coup de grace on Frank. Perhaps I’m wrong

They were called Albert & Edith Howarth. They had two daughters who both married goalkeepers. One married Jeff Parton and the other married Luton goalkeeper Keith Barber.

That’s it Tony. Got my licensees mixed up

Griffin had a landlord some years ago who set up a grumpy hour to match his personality. Beer prices went up during grumpy hour.

His daughter married Burnley goalkeeper Jeff Parton. Can’t recall George’s surname or his daughters name. Think she was what they used to call ‘a beauty queen’

I went into the Cricks a couple of times with my older journalist colleagues. Ron Kennedy (By Ronald Kennedy in the Sunday Express) ran his own sports agency, and he was a lovely man to boot. Pretty certain he was the man who sorted it with the Cricks so the national boys could use the phone there t...

I bumped into it by mistake last night, having avoided it during the Proms season a few weeks ago. But really enjoyed it, particularly marvelling at that full sound from the BBC Concert Orchestra that really nailed the arrangements and were note perfect too. The singers did a great job too, glad the...

Yes, really enjoyed the series we've watched. So is the series on Alibi new to screens? We watched on BBC2/iPlayer

Shirt tucked in, old school.

My favourite Claret. A pity our younger fans never saw him play, apart from heading he had the lot as a forward, could play centrally, wide and as a 'No.10', a position in which he was often unplayable

longsidetrumpet

Gaoled is archaic. I've been in journalism 53 years and I've never seen it used yet in either my papers or others I read. Jailed, yes, locked up is the usual tabloid version

I don’t usually knock journalism, being one myself, but it strikes me as lazy journalism. Just been a piece on the final on News at Ten, and the term never explained

How do they get this figure on the Championship play-off final winner? They’re mere runners up to the runners up, so what’s the title winners themselves earn for going into the Premier League? BTW a quick Google reveals the play-off final was being dubbed the £170 million game four years ago. What w...
