Who’s the Welsh loving Scouser on Commentary. He’s so annoying

Andy Robinson apparently. I found it amusing that they kept referring to Jack Cork as the assistant referee

Looked like it on the TV replay. A couple of Boro players were appealing for a throw in..

Mondsley

Watched the whole of Troubled Blood over 2 nights last week. Excellent stuff. And the TV version does justice to the book.

Mondsley

Brilliant from England and Stokes. He has totally manufactured that result with a declaration that I thought was way too generous. Hats off also to Jimmy and Ollie Robinson for some phenomenal bowling with the old ball.

Mondsley

Great memories of that win on New Year's day 1966 from Ralph Coates sitting on the ball, the fan attempting to attack Adam Blacklaw and Brian Wren being ejected from the stand for calling Bryan Douglas something uncomplintery. Wrenny hadn't realised he was sat behind Douglas's wife!

Given that they are one of only 2 sides to beat us so far this season this was inevitable.

It was Watford not West Brom.

Mondsley

Wasn't that the game when Bob Lord fell out with the BBC forcing them to remove their cameras from Turf Moor? [fquote] Indeed it was. I was 10 years old and wasn't able to go to the replay as I was poorly. So I was very happy when I found out the game was live on TV. Then Bob Lord stepped in :evil:

Mondsley

When we turned up for a game my Dad would say "who's laykin today"? In other words who is playing

Mondsley

Being bowled out with over 11 overs to go is almost unforgivable. But I can forgive them in that it is pretty obvious they don't want to be there.

Mondsley

:It's been coming in my opinion. Second half defensively we were as bad as I can remember. Bur it doesnt help when your 6 foot 6 keeper is like a rabbit in the headlights for every set piece into the box. We move on.

Mondsley

Well done to Littleborough and yes, Hare Hill is a lovely ground, but then again I can't think of a LL ground which isn't really. The club house always seems to be thriving at Littleborough too and is a very vibrant place on match days. Tbf Church must be kicking themselves for not chasing down onl...

Mondsley

Littleborough promoted to Division 1 after defending 126 at Church. I may be biased but for those who have never visited Hare Hill please try a visit next season. It's a terrific place to play and watch cricket.

Mondsley

perception is a funny thing. A quick read of Millwall forums will reveal that their fans consider us to be PL prima-donnas, bleating unfairly about fouls and making the most of things. We consider the referee to have been weak. I can't consider any other view than ours here. How can perception be s...

I was at Littleborough yesterday for the ex players reunion day. Great day. Was wonderful to catch up with team mates I haven't seen for many years. And the icing on the cake was the appearance of Joel Garner who can still recall many of the games he played in at the Boro. Remarkable given the caree...

Mondsley

86 for 6. No words.

Mondsley

Lot of hard work needed now. At 210 for 6 we had a chance to keep the lead below 100. But for some reason that someone will have to explain to me we switched to bowling short at the tail enders. If top of off works against top order batsmen why not the tail? And don't get me started on why our great...

Mondsley

The only thing I remember about this game is my mate turning up wearing pink shorts. Left a lasting memory. In fact, I mentioned it to him again just this weekend!

Mondsley

On my nephews phone in the Windsor and Eton brewery. We are down there for a wedding on Saturday. The bride refused to change their wedding date. Selfish!

Mondsley

How many times is Livingstone going to get out slapping a short ball to mid/deep mid wicket?? Brainless.

Billy Summers by Stephen King is a good read if you're looking for one to take on holiday.

I'll second that. Totally different to other King novels I have read. My favourite remains 11 22 63. Epic!

Mondsley

Nobody's Child by Karen Young. Late 60's I think.

Mondsley

On the original point in the thread, Colne “could” have potentially only been one run down so wouldn’t have made a difference to the result. The solicitors can be stood down. Having exchanged messages with someone who was there, 2 no balls were bowled in the Colne innings. One wasn't scored from an...

Mondsley

Another one here who didn't "know" him, but you couldn't fail to know of him. Sat and watched him at Chesterfield where the stewards had no idea how to handle him! RIP Rocky, a true Claret.

Mondsley

In 60 years of watching us, this season and the next are probably my favourites. Watched through the eyes of a 17/18 year old though! Myself and 3 mates had the great pleasure of spending an afternoon in the company of Colin Waldron last summer. They say you should never meet your heroes but Waldo i...

Huddy away is always the first one I look for. Breakfast in the White Hart or Polished Knob in Tod then Huddy by train via Dewsbury Station bar. However, we are at a family wedding in Windsor and the bride has refused to change the date!! Bit selfish!!

Mondsley

If you mean the game where there pitch invasion/celebration turned hilariously sour I think that was the first Dyche promotion season. Wasn't the last time we were there the 0-0 draw where Andre missed a penalty after their centre half dug up the penalty spot ? It was in 2016. It was Robson Kanu wh...

Flew to Croatia with Jet 2 from terminal 2 on 29 May returned 5 June. Going out, flight delayed by 2 hours, 2 hours 30 to get through bag drop and security then 1 bar and 1 restaurant open with nowhere to sit. Just got a table in pub when they called our flight! Sat on plane for 2 hours whilst they ...

Some great suggestions already. As an alternative to Capri you could try Iscia. Just as beautiful, far less busy. Enjoy!!

Mondsley

Well it's pretty clear to me now where things have gone wrong (with apologies to Golden Gordon and Barnstonethwaite Utd), we've been wearing the wrong socks!!!

Mondsley

Roy Tattersall was before my time but I certainly remember Tommy Greenhough playing for Lancs. I think Chris Schofield played twice for England, scored a half century but didn't take a wicket. Would have liked to have seen Parkinson given an opportunity. [ Feel really sorry for Parkinson. Carried t...

I was playing Cricket and, as captain of the club, felt that I should turn out rather than cry off. I may not make the same decision were I asked to make it again!! So, I sat on the pavillion steps at Royton listening to the last 15 minutes on the radio. Can't remember the result of the Cricket matc...

Ian Helliwell. Oh dear, got chatting to a woman on a boat trip to Amalfi who said her brother used to play for Burnley. Turns it it was Helliwell. She could probably see from my reaction that I didn't rate him!

Mondsley

Corporate hospitality is directly behind me in JHL following expansion this season. I didn't choose to sit in the away end but that's how it feels at times. Loads of Villa fans in there yesterday, some chanting, some celebrating. It has a detrimental effect on the home atmosphere. I am moving next ...

Brian Wren - always travelled with Roy Kilby and one or two others. Hugely committed Clarets at the time although Wrenny opted to stop in the 80s and never came back other than for one game. I think from that group, only Jack Fairburn remains and I see him occasionally in the Longside Upper but not...

Mondsley

As a teenager I travelled to some away games with Brian Wren who was very friendly with Roy Kilby. I seem to remember going to one game in Roy's Jag! My son and I chatted to Barry in a pub in Thornton Heath before an away game at Wimbledon when they were using Selhurst Park for home games. Lovely ma...

He was also the ref at Brighton when Phil Bird felt that "justice" had been served!

Mondsley

As an ex employee of HMRC I can assure you that they will neither e mail or telephone you.

Mondsley

Sad news indeed. He and Willie Irvine were my boyhood heroes. Hard as nails! RIP Andy.

Mondsley

Good report, thank you. I think it is also worth mentioning Graham Potter's post match comments. He also said Dunk and Webster were a big miss but went on to say, Burnley had key players missing as well so we cannot make that an excuse. How refreshing.

Mondsley

We did. Watched it in two goes and thoroughly enjoyed it. I really struggled with Tom Cruise as Reacher. You do get a visual image of the main protagonist when reading the books. And Tom Cruise was not the image I had. This guy on the other hand.... Second series commissioned apparently.

Mondsley

That and the game against Leicester in about 2006 (it got called off after about 10 minutes if I remember right?) are the only games I can recall since the new stands opened that were anything like last night. I’d say Peterborough was colder as it was obviously snow, and certainly trying to escape ...

How is that not a penalty?

Craig Pawson on VAR. Can't see when the ball is a yard over the line, so no hope. Sincerely hope Toon don't get "justice"!

Mondsley

Didn't Ramsdale win the ball then follow through and bring Vydra down? Penalty given (by Taylor) then overturned by VAR. Just asking!

Mondsley

So Schmeichel had that under control but Nick Pope didn't yesterday?

Penalty to Peterborough for an almost identical challenge by our keeper to the one on Vydra in the Norrwich game. 0 1 to Posh!

I have sat on the back row of JHL right on the half way line for the last 20 seasons, immediately in front of the box sponsored by James Hargreaves. Every season (up to now)when we play a team from within a 100 mile radius of Burnley there has been a decent number of away fans in that box. Truth be ...

Just back from the first Manchester gig which started over 1 hour late due to "technical problems". It meant we had to miss the encore as our last train from Victoria was half eleven. Frustrating. Thoroughly enjoyed what we saw. Musically they were spot on and Phil Collins' son on drums was a revela...
