10-4 after 55 mins, England having a decent 2nd half.

CleggHall

NNN- you are in a fortunate position but most people can't have it both ways if they are savers and borrowers. Whatever, any interest rate for savers will be less than the 3% rate of inflation and thus a negative real interest rate. The stock market wins hands down and has done so since 2009.

The Aussies and possibly NZ will come ahead of England, several of the England squad play their club rugby in Australia and, as with soccer, foreign imports dominate in our Super League. The standard in the SL this year has been quite low, Castleford dominated but then fell at the final hurdle. Zac ...

Brian Stock is an unusual ex-player to feature in the book?!

CleggHall

I once felt the wrath of his tongue from France when we differed as to an interpretation of a Burnley piece on the radio. A good man though, a true supporter who is missed on this board and, no doubt, further afield.

CleggHall

Lincoln kicked seven shades of .... out of JBG, a bit different to Wood ?

CleggHall

Agreed Beamish, to older folk the Staff is up t' Knotts!

CleggHall

Agreed nothing much since Gracie Fields and John Bright - Bill Oddie, Andy Kershaw, the Crystal Meth co-op guy, we really are scraping the barrel. Nowt wrong with Tod though.

CleggHall

Armanath, India, his 2 sons also played for India.
Sir Learie Constantine, W Indies, one of the greatest, opened up the Lancs League to overseas pros.
Don't know
Jack Ikin who played for Lancashire.

CleggHall

Don't mention East on this board!

CleggHall

Willie Irvine and his goalkeeper brother?
Not sure on this though since I think Willie played for Carrickfergus and he came to Burnley as a youngster.

CleggHall

Was a Glentoran supporter in the 60s when I lived in Belfast, saw them draw 1-1 with Eusebio's Benfica.

CleggHall

Agreed I wouldn't want to do it but it is a gross intrusion on your privacy. Christianity is on the way out for most people, let's leave it at that.

CleggHall

Are doing better than expected, few stars but are getting results.

CleggHall

cricketfield - it's being so cheerful that keeps you going!

CleggHall

Remember seeing him trouble the much taller Larry Lloyd ( Forest?) at Turf Moor. On one occasion craftily made a back for Lloyd who fell for it, jumped and was not amused as he hit the deck. The ball was irrelevant on this occasion!

CleggHall

Thanks for posting Rowls, an excellent article telling the footballing world how it is at Burnley.
Analytical and broadly correct I guess, far removed from some Saturday evening posts on here!

CleggHall

A very tolerant woman Mrs Scholes senior!

CleggHall

American Hot with jalapeños!

CleggHall

A great report, factual and balanced - many thanks.
We are doing very well but some on this board expect the earth, good to have high expectations but remember we are Burnley not Barcelona.

CleggHall

But why did he continue to ignore Scott Arfield, a regular PL player, when he had so little talent available to him? Only Strachan can answer that.

CleggHall

I blame those wee Krankies!

CleggHall

Belgium have got one helluva squad for a small country, how do they do it?

CleggHall

A disappointing one-sided final, Leeds bossed it from start to finish, McGuire gave a masterclass and the Leeds forwards set the platform. Cas simply didn't turn up, hard to believe that they topped the table by 10 points.

CleggHall

Blacklaw, Angus, Newton, Adamson, Dobson, Miller, Connelly, Jimmy Mc, Pointer, Robson, James.[/quote

A difficult one this but O' Neil for Miller, Lochhead for Robson, Elder for Newton?

CleggHall

Henderson and Dier, I ask you?!

CleggHall

Have missed out "game of two halves"!

CleggHall

These outstanding marks for Tarkowski show how he has replaced Michael Keane in the team. Has surprised his critics given how he was outmuscled a few times at the end of last season when he replaced Ben Mee. A fast learner.

CleggHall

Agreed Tony but Carter could bat a bit too, didn't he get a big score as substitute pro to win the Worsley cup for Burnley in 1970? I vaguely recall a conversation with Duncan about this at L'boro.

CleggHall

quoon - what a great job, stu and co made an excellent programme even if they only showed the tip of an iceberg. West Indian pros and others introduced the game of cricket to me which has given a lifetime's enjoyment since. I've seen many of the best but, possibly surprisingly, think Duncan Carter a...

CleggHall

A thoughtful, realistic article, Danny sounds to have his head screwed on now! I'm sure we all wish him well.

CleggHall

Please do. I am intrigued. I remember the latter days of cricket when local clubs had pro players, but was very interesting to see it went way back to the 60's. Earlier still, Learie Constantine played at Nelson 1928 onwards well into the 1930s. Professionals were especially common in the Central L...

CleggHall

A nice little programme, just viewed it. Mainly Learie Constantine and family, Wes Hall, Charlie Griffiths, Viv Richards and Bumble. The former encountered a fair bit of racism but given the times this was hardly surprising. Lasting bonds were created with the local cricket community which persist t...

CleggHall

conyoviejo - agreed the idiot who gave away the last minute penalty deserves to be horse whipped, one of your own tho', an ex Wigan player Mattie Smith. What a fool!
A great game though, Saints are my 2nd team after Rochdale Hornets.

CleggHall

Remember it well, 1967 homesick in Belfast as the BBC repatriated the Radio Caroline pirates, installed them in land-based studios and let them play good music. Hard to believe the government censorship and control in those distant days.

CleggHall

£2 billion of subsidies for 250,000 UK farmers and landowners, we believe in free markets don't we?

Quickenthetempo wrote:Alex Davies of Lance has over 1000 First Class runs this season.

Not quite, Davies has 916 runs according to the BBC.

CleggHall

Fully agree ty but can't help thinking that the 4 day game played mainly in April/Sept has been poor this year. Only 3 batsmen scored 1000 runs I think, all at Surrey. No wonder England can't find any new talent.

CleggHall

Had one on Monday, arm is still a bit sore.

CleggHall

Yes a woeful performance by Yorkshire, now 37 for 7, a disgrace for professional cricketers.
Signing Brathwaite was indeed a panic signal but I guess they just got out of jail.

CleggHall

Has Root got too much power in the England set-up?
Refuses to bat at number 3, picks his best mate and possibly carries too much clout?

CleggHall

Ballance is a very lucky boy, friends in high places! He must have been a good flatmate.

CleggHall

A very nice tribute CT, could not have been easy to write. Jo sounds to have been a top- rate claret.

CleggHall

Ben Stokes is a badly behaved Durham player.
Durham should be fined £100,000 and deducted 48 points next year for failing to control their player, a lesson must be set for recalcitrant counties!

CleggHall

followed by ..... Freddy Shepherd, ex- chairman, Newcastle Utd.

CleggHall

Good luck Dan, you write well with an easy, flowing style.

CleggHall

The ECB have really shafted Durham with their relegation and points deduction decisions. Little chance of recovery this season, the future looks bleak as players jump ship and head to 1st Division clubs with test match grounds. It is also a pity that Lancs, Notts and Surrey cannot produce their own ...

CleggHall

Diesel - steady as you go! Yes St James Place initial and annual charges are relatively high but the performance of their SJP funds is excellent too. They are ruthless in culling non-performing fund managers and the competition so engendered produces high returns. I have been with them since 2009 an...

CleggHall

mkmel - my advice, if at all possible leave your money in the pension pot unless you are steering it towards a better returning investment. In other words, do not spend or consume it now. Retirement is often, and hopefully, a long term of 30+ years and inflation rapidly will eat into and erode the v...
