Darnhill Claret

I would consider Smith, Billing, Kachunga, Mooy, Lowe, Wells and Brown as serious first-team squad members, so not a weakened team. Players with knocks need nursing back to full fitness for the play-offs. Then Wagner can choose from his full available squad if all are reasonably close to full fitnes...

I'm celebrating already, results today in the Prem and Championship and a great day with the geegeez. I'm in heaven.

I usually back about 6 each week and quite often have the winner, but for some reason I'm going 1 selection only, Rickie Fowler EW @ 22/1, first 8. He's continuing to improve in my eyes, he plays well at Augusta and has shown good form recently. Hope he can challenge for the green jacket but if not ...

Darnhill Claret

Well, I have to disagree. At the end of the first half I has happy that we were level and that we seemed to just about have the measure of Spurs, in that neither keeper was busy. Some nice football played by both sides and I do remember thinking that although I wasn't excited at least KRBFC will hav...

Gordon West, Gary Sprake and our very own Harry Thompson. You'd have to be mad to be a goalkeeper certainly applied to these three.

Alan Hudson, Stan Bowles, Robin Friday.

His England appearances now mean that a buying club can no longer factor in 'potential' as a reason why they shouldn't pay full whack.

Darnhill Claret

Time to put this little club mentality behind us when it comes to playing other Prem teams.

I thought all the 'likes' were just scouse.

Darnhill Claret

Quicknick, I'm hoping you've heard the expression, 'good job, well done'.

Over here, if we wish to congratulate a person on an achievment, we often say 'well done'.

Over there, if they wish to congratulate a person on an achievment, they say, 'good job'.

Darnhill Claret

I like the English phrase of four words that is shortened by us both. They use the first two words, we use the last two words.

'(A) Good job, well done'.

I find him funny in everything he does from Fat Club or whatever it was, Gavin and Stacey, League Of Their Own, The Late Show, Broadway actor. Greatly skilled at what he does, that's why you see so much of him, because he's in such demand. He has awards galore and will rise to the top in anything he...

Next summer an England squad with Heaton, Keane, Gray, (Cahill and Ings) involved would be something to savour.

Thought we'd all collected for a moment there, lol.

Now someone needs to pester our Sean.

The wife's mother lives with us. I tend to watch tv upstairs as our choices hardly ever match. Mother-in-law likes 60's, 70's box-sets to the exclusion of almost anything else and some American series such as Ghost Whisperer or Charmed. When we have our evening meal Charmed is usually on and I reall...

I understand opposition fans underestimating our players but have to give my head a shake at our fans who see him regularly, but can only focus on his mistakes rather then his strengths. Andre's first touch isn't poor, it's just less consistent than it might be. There are numerous examples of fantas...

Watching Luka Zahovic this evening. First half didn't have many touches but was tidy when there was nothing on. made a few runs doen the channels but the passes didn't arrive. Scored a 41st minute penalty to give Maribor a 1-0 half-time lead. Struck it cleanly to the keepers right hand corner, low. ...

Darnhill Claret

Yes Fulham took a chance early.

Zahovic reminds me a little of Kevin Doyle in stature.

Darnhill Claret

Nice one, get in early at a reasonably cheap price. Certainly wouldn't lose out financially. Wages should be low and I believe a sell-on would profit Maribor and Burnley. Or better still he could become a Burnley legend. If you saw the goal you would understand my enthusiasm especially considering h...

Darnhill Claret

All the more need to improve then.

Darnhill Claret

If either player believed at the time that their actions were accidental, why did neither of them apologise and see how their victims were?

Darnhill Claret

Just seen a lovely goal, about 40 minutes ago, scored for NK Maribor (Slovenia) by Zahovic. Quality strike from a player who created some extra space and time with a good piece of skill which will go straight onto his compilation dvd. Looks a relatively young player whose goal was premier quality. I...

Stop looking down. Start looking up and see that we are in touching distance of a top half finish. 9th or 10th is still possible and that's what we should be aiming for.

Darnhill Claret

Not just kicking the ball but impressive keepy-uppies.

Darnhill Claret

Just being a pedant and some will disagree with me. It's only my opinion but the Barnes arm wasn't bent enough to be considered an elbow which immediaiely seems more sinister than a flailing arm which suggests carelessness and taking care of himself.

Ken (Higson??) should have been Ken Hanson.

Ken Gregory put a team in the Accrington + District Boys League from Haslingden. We were called Haslingden Olympic and finally prevented St James's(I think) continuing their dominance of the league. They were managed by Jim Ratcliffe a 'tackler' by trade at Waterside Mill, Haslingden. They did have ...

Yes, I remember playing BAINES and Cannon Slade, amongst others.Both schools seemed very impressive compared to little old Haslingden Grammar.

Didn't really answer the questions before so here goes. 1. Going alternate weeks to Burnley and Blackburn it was a case of natural selection. Lived in Haslingden till I was 14 the local coach firm, Fred Kirkhams ran coaches to both grounds. No comparison in the two match-day experiences. The excitem...

Didn't really get school for some reason, probably quite deep. Philip Green was my fav teacher. Couldn't grasp it when he died. He was so funny. Paul Fox watching the cricket on tv whenever possible. Gaz Smith at games. The rest of them I never really connected with and played too much football to d...

Claretcliff, no I never kept in touch. Didn't settle until 1976 and I was in a whole new world then. Tried that Reunite site a few years back and exchanged a couple of emails but wasn't in the best of health/frame of mind at the time and just too much going on for me to pursue anything. But it's goo...

Now in Heywood, different atmosphere. Tend to be a little careful until I've gauged the mood apart from if I'm ever in a pub on an away match day but usually watch at home.

Used to live in Accrington. Very competitive. Good crack most of the time but you always get a few knobs. Lots of other clubs too. Bit of a melting pot (Blue Mink)

Yes Clifford, you got me. Do you remember Fitz, year above? Mate of Jonny Wardle and Spenny.

But not many. BT seem to do the majority of the Sat 5-30's whilst Sky do the Championship at the same time.

Hi Fitz, we used to play footie against each other, dinner times, in the playground up Bury Road. Year below you. We always won tho. lol.
Not sure if you played after school or not.
