And a Happy Birthday from here in the north-west corner of the Lakes.

According to Football League World, Burnley Stoke and Blackburn are interested in QPR's Lyndon Dykes. I wouldn't mind him coming to East Lancashire.........as long as it's to Ewood. I watched him playing for Queen of the South a few times at the beginning of his career, and he didn't particularly st...

The bowling injuries piling up for England. At least we don’t have a heavily condensed series to make space for the Hundred.

Who would you choose to replace him? Ahmed/Parkinson/Jacks?

Not Parkinson. He can't even get into Lancashire's red ball side.

Silky, are you mixing up Workington with Grimsby ?.....We were special that night.

Yes, it was Grimsby we beat 6-0. We won 1-0 at Workington in the following round.

Anyone watching the Ross County v Partick Thistle play-off second leg?
At last, a decent ref!
Partick Thistle penalty claim. The ref didn't give it, but the VAR official told him to go to the monitor.
The ref had several looks at it, and stuck with his original decision.
Good for him.

It 's strange the things you can remember from over 50 years ago. I too remember that Southampton game, Tony, and although I haven't looked it up I think that was the match where we had a four figure crowd (9595?) for the first time for many years for a league game. But the main thing I remember is ...

Answered by CT in the Cup Final thread.
It's happened once before, in 1960-61. Tottenham in the F. A. Cup, Villa in the League Cup.

Lancashire are having a poor season.
Winless in the Championship, and three Blast defeats in a row.
I know we're missing Keaton Jennings, but something is not right at Old Trafford.

Bournemouth have been babba.

They have, and we'll finish above them next season.

The subs have made a difference for Carlisle

I hope I'm wrong, but Carlisle just don't look capable of scoring.

Thanks for your good wishes everyone. Yes, I did post on Clarets Mad, and I will always remember the kindness of people on there ( and this includes you CT!) at the time. The cancer came back in 2017, but was caught even earlier, and I was again cured, this time by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, whi...

No, not really. Six days before the match, I was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus. I made the mistake of going.online and reading that the one year survival rate from the date of diagnosis was 25%. I didn't really feel like going to the final, but I'd got my train and match ticket, and my hot...

G In the unlikely event that anyone was wondering what that enigmatic post was about, it was a test post. This morning, when I tried to post something, it was telling me that my internet account had been blacklisted. After 15 minutes on the phone to every helpful lady from BT, the problem has been ...

Brian O'Neil would get my vote, but if you fancy anything more recent, Glen Little or Robbie Blake.

I think Dean Smith had a game plan here. Keep Newcastle out for 70 minutes, then bring your most creative/dangerous players on and go for it in the last 20 minutes. If they had tried to attack from the off, they'd have been stuffed. To be fair to Smith, it nearly worked, with that Pope save near the...

If Leicester and Leeds win their last game, and Everton draw, they all end up on 34 points, which is one fewer than we got last season.

Bolton only given 2,133 tickets, sold out in 10 minutes.

I hope this isn't going to become a thing.
It's so small-minded and petty.

lakedistrictclaret

I'd have thought Bolton fans would have filled their end.
Did Barnsley limit their allocation, like Blackburn did with us?

lakedistrictclaret

I want Sunderland to win, if only because it's always a good away trip.

A few seasons ago a large group of their 'fans' (knuckle dragging types) abused just about everyone in the Swan in Burnley town centre including an elderly chap who was having a quiet pint. Now, I know you shouldn't generalise and all clubs have their fair share of whoppers but that incident sticks...

Born in Burnley, left when I was two and haven't lived there since, but I support my home town club.

4-2.

Saints down, effectively.

Match drawn, but a thrilling finish.

I've had a lovely day, with a Coronation picnic on the village green in warm sunshine.
Then I get home to this news.

Just fantastic.

I won one many years ago.
When I went to collect my voucher after the match, Rocky was in there. He'd won a £20 shop voucher.
We swapped prizes.

......... "so do we "

Just recalling what we used to sing about Brian O'Neil on the Longside in the late 60s.

Well, he did go, but we stayed, and it will be the same when VK eventually leaves.

Rotherham one up

Another interesting stat:-

Middlesbrough, who have already qualified for the play-offs, have lost 14 of their 44 Championship games.

We've lost 13 of our last 137 Championship games.

Bugger!

Can someone sort the maths out for me? Blackpool are relegated with a defeat, but are 3 points behind huddersfield, who have 2 games in hand. If Huddersfield lose all 3 and Blackpool win their last game, does that not see them potentially safe on goal difference? I see that they are practically rel...

lakedistrictclaret

If Blackpool get a point tonight they still go down if Huddersfield win one of their three remaining games, or Reading win one of their two.

As I post this, Millwall have just got a penalty......and score!

I was a solicitor until I retired ( six years ago today, in fact ) and I can confirm that A_C is correct.

Perhaps ppp's sentencing guidelines book is out of date?

Has anybody actually listened to my link on the first post?

Yes.

I presume Eric Morecambe and Les Dawson were in the orchestra.

Nine for me too, and Middlesbrough was the first one where I wasn't there when we clinched it.

Jimmy Mullen for me - he's just a few months younger than me.

And the first to play in our first team younger than me was Eric Probert.

Oops! I forgot about him.

He's three months younger than me.

Adrian Heath, I think.

Did anything happen with either place? been a while since i gave either the Sparrowhawk or Keirby even a passing glance

Don't know, but I walked past The Talbot yesterday and noticed a "Sold" sign.

Presumably flats. Too much to hope that someone is going to take it on as a pub.

This is the 9th promotion I've seen in my lifetime (9 relegations too) and this is probably the best of all those campaigns. I thought nothing would top 72/3 but this season has been - as Connor Roberts would no doubt say - unbelievable! My ninth promotion as well, and this is the first one when I ...
