Had a ticket but my cousin got it from my mum instead of an Easter egg.

Whoever did that to you is a rotter.

The gamelplan? Leave your most talented player on the bench and lump high balls in from deep positions.

Helmshore Claret

How on earth on one of our best players ( McNeil) could be on the bench today was staggering.

Helmshore Claret

Two subs needed Vydra & McNeil for Lennon and either Weghorst or Jay. Lennon has not beaten his man once in 47mins.

God if this is a game that is bereft of any skill or guile what the hell do you call our games haha

Let’s just hope Everton get stuffed second half

In fact I was thinking, as I wrote my comment, that it was like many of ours this season .

Helmshore Claret

A terrible game, bereft of any skill or guile. When St.maximan doesn't play Newcastle look very ordinary. Everton playing badly enough to win it.

Helmshore Claret

Bit of a head scratcher this one?

Helmshore Claret

As IanMcL has pointed out the error has been corrected and I thought that it was the best , independent, match report l had read in a long time. Well done to the Camden Journal and to brunlea99 for finding it.

Helmshore Claret

I just think that if they beat Everton they could get a bit of momentum going. But watching Everton against Brentford gives me plenty of hope that Everton can get a good result I wouldn't read too much into any cup result , although, I do think that Brentford will finish below Everton this season.

If you are travelling from the south or west heading to Burnley why not leave the M65 at the junction for the M66 (Bury, Manchester), then leave the bypass at Haslingden and travel through Rawtenstall and Crawshawbooth to Burnley. This would avoid going through the Gannow Top area and traffic throu...

London Irish play there, having moved from Madejeski Stadium where they've played for c 20 previous years. Theyre getting gates c7000-7500 lately but it'll be packed full on 26th March when the St Paddy's Day match (v Northampton) is played.

St. Patrick's day is always on the 17th of March.

Leeds so far have played Antonio very well. I wish we could cope with him as well.

Ben Mee did only a month ago. As my Auntie Alice used to say, "Eaten meat soon forgotten".

A number of years ago we had our wood burner / multi fuel stove replaced. We had an approved installer and all the ' paper work' had to go trough the local authority. My advice would be to go through an approved installer and if you live in a smoke control area you will have to have a 'smoke exempt ...

I have an official printed paper NHS Covid pass. It does not have a square QR code though. It does have a barcode on it, next to which it states “Your unique reference Use this to confirm your NHS COVID pass” Any useful comments?

Taylor died in Jan 2017. We played there in Feb and lost 2-1 but I don’t recall anything. Barnes scored our goal on 78 mins but it was a penalty. Cork scored there in the following season when there was a minute’s applause before the game for Ray Wilkins. Our goals that day were Vokes & Cork, 71 & ...

Helmshore Claret

Interesting point about disturbing the game has a goal ever been scored during one of these minutes applauses? I think that we scored at Watford during the applause for Graham Taylor( about the 76th min), a free kick by Westwood and a header by Jack Cork. Not absolutely sure on the scorer but the a...

The recent sad passing of 'Helmshoreclaret' has brought to light the fact that two fans have been posting with the same username with slight differences of format. In view of the first post about Helmshoreclaret's serious illness, I contacted my cousin (silkyskills1) to reassure him that this was no...

Tony Morgan was a great character,a claret through and through. Always recall him occasionally getting a lift home from the match from my uncle when the cricket and football seasons overlapped in Aug/Sep. 'Just drop me here,Bob, he would say to my uncle about 100 yards or so from Haslingden Cricket...

Helmshore Claret

A coach left Haslingden around 8 am taking us to this game. Arguably the slowest coach I think I've ever travelled on, demonstrated aptly by us being overtaken on a steep road by a tractor just outside Oxford. It wasn't an eventful game but we were a club brimming with confidence and I always thoug...

As we now seem to have gone off topic, I think the Fulham v Newcastle (final day) could be interesting if1pt. each would be enough for survival. Many on here will have been at Deepdale in 1973 when a draw would give us the 2nd division title and keep Preston up. The last 15 mins were incredible, wit...

Helmshore Claret

Hope Westwood avoids a yellow tonight, or that's another one missing for the next 2 games.

Have the price of puppies recently gone up huge amounts? Looking for a King Charles cavalier puppy. £2k +. I’m sure they used to be around £500 a couple of years ago?

I seem to recall you didn't need a voucher at all, HC.

touché !

Helmshore Claret

I bought several of those vouchers from friends , who were Rovers fans , I hadn't a clue how it was going to work or whatever , but I do remember paying 6d each for them. They were blue with a single letter on them.

Helmshore Claret

Thanks for this post; I will watch it later. Also it jogged my memory of the match at Sheffield Wednesday the same season when it was MOTD. A great day, a wonderful Leighton James goal and memories of several members of the family quashed into my Morris 1000 van.

Helmshore Claret

My favourite 'Colin Blant game' was at Anfield in1968 , when both he and Colin Waldron were absolutely brilliant in a 1-1 draw . Also,I seem to remember, that he had an U23 cap, but I may well be wrong on that one.

FA cup 1970 at Chelsea

Helmshore Claret

No - 74,867 saw us beat Everton at Goodison Park in December 1960 I was there that day and I remember that by about 1-30pm the ground was packed and that kids, a bit younger than me, were being passed, on shoulders, down to the front and over the wall. Also, it was often the practice to lift small ...

I don't think it's a fair comparison when they've been in the league for half a season.

If they don't get into the Europa league next season then that's the time to compare.

Totally agree, but I hope that they win their next game!

Helmshore Claret

Something which has always stuck in my memory from the Wrexham match was the cavalcade of corporation buses in every colour,'under the sun', which brought much of their fantastic away support. The FA cup was, definitely, 'king' in those days.

Helmshore Claret

Villa are also interested in signing Benteke and many others, according to the Telegraph.

Helmshore Claret

Thought that he might still be with us when the 'window' closes (his wage being a sticking point), but with Drinkwater going to Villa and them, reportedly, paying his wages in full, I suppose it could happen.Many on here seem certain that the club will do nothing in this 'window', but with a couple ...

The denegrating remarks about Barnes spending a lot of his time on his backside were also used on here,when I had, on NYE, the temerity to say that I thought Grealish was, although, a poser(hair, short socks etc.) a really good player. I did, however, point out that Barnes also had the ability to 'd...

Helmshore Claret

Let's not get too excited on this, just yet. There have been a number of 'false dawns' regarding Joe.

Helmshore Claret

Colin Waldron was a proper 'big money signing'. He was very young and had gone to Chelsea( from Bury) but never settled and we paid a 'massive' £30,000 for him,everyone was flabbergasted. A great player and definitely my younger sister's favourite .

Helmshore Claret

Or maybe players better than what we have already just don't want to come to Burnley! Certainly if I was a player who had been approached by Burnley and thought, I'll just have a look on their messageboard to see what their fans think of the club and their manager, I would definitely not get a good...

Helmshore Claret

Perhaps it could be argued,that it was because Rovers and Bolton had,indulgent, backers who were fans, made those clubs, eventually, vulnerable.

Helmshore Claret

Good for him. P*ssed on his chips at the start of his loan, but one has to assume he’s worked hard to get back to fitness since then to make himself available for selection. He probably couldn’t wait to get back to Chelsea after watching the last few games. Where he will be watching games and that'...

Bogle not good enough (yet) Tavernier not good enough. John joe Kenny not good enough for Everton. Jon Flanagan never been any good As for the suggestion Hendrick at right back, seriously I despair. Don't know much about the 1st 2 listed . Thinking of Kenny and Everton, what about Coleman(short ter...

I haven't been to a home game since the Palace match. This is not because of the 'football' but because of a herniated disc in my back. I have, though, been able to see the games on tv( Spurs excepted) and I thought that the Newcastle and Bournemouth games, although dour, showed the resilient fighti...

Helmshore Claret

Long was brought on to win headers in the box and hopefully get onto the end of a corner kick or other set piece. Drinkwater doesn’t offer that threat - so no, I don’t think the substitution is worthy of criticism despite it not reaping rewards. If, many of us are going to be honest, it was a surpr...

Earlier this week a fellow UTC user quoted my post when I said that IMO Grealish was a very good player, his reply was that he felt that spent half the time on his backside, I felt that he just was skilled at ' drawing the foul'. Look, most fans know that he is quality, but I am concerned that Dyche...

Helmshore Claret

Still curious as to why he wasn't fit when he arrived...that was before his night club incident. As a registered Chelsea player he was surely both obliged and entitled to full preseason training from them. This has puzzled me also! He was not an 'out of contract player',although, many such players ...

Well that's certainly true, but it's commuters who are most affected, (using the bus daily, as opposed to occasionally), and pensioners could always travel on the far more comfortable National Express service which runs a couple of times every morning. Additionally the 464 / X43 runs every 15 minut...

Villa will come to the Turf with confidence of halting their slide. They will also have seen that we’ve only had one good half of football in the last two games. They’ll be expecting us to launch it long for most of the game. I’m expecting much of the same, both managers will be happy for a point. ...

Helmshore Claret

Grealish seems to spend half the time on his arse. We never usually complain about Barnes spending half his time in the position you describe but he has, on many occasions, bought us time when we have been hanging on to either a lead or a point. The ability to 'draw a foul' is in itself a skill, bu...

Helmshore Claret

I think that Grealish is a really good player and if he played for us I'm sure we would overlook the hair, short shin pads etc and admire his footballing ability. I hope, however, that he has 'a stinker' on Wednesday.

Considering the content of the OP shouldn't the subject be 'Leicester'?

Sorry about that you are, of course, correct.
