And Jon Anderson is from Accrington.

He used to go in Mary's Record Shop in Accrington a long, long time ago when he was with The Warriors.

Just saw this yesterday and was sad to read of his passing.
Saw him performaing with various outfits back in the 1960s and he has certainly 'done a bit' during his long time in the business.

RIP Alan and thanks for all the memories.

Absolutely no chance Sheffield will win.

I'm definitely with you in that opinion.

We have not had a player sent off for many matches and yet the same referee has seen fit to send two off within the last two months. Tonight's dismissal was a joke. The Villa player was never going to win the ball but 'conned' the ref. The game is dead! Why did I stop mentoring young referees ----an...

Just seeing the news that our top 2 referees have both been selected for the World Cup alongside ARs Simon Bennett, Gary Beswick, Stuart Burt and Adam Nunn. None of our officials selected for VAR duties.

Congrats to all!

Don't bring the sterility of the Premier League into what was a smashing game of football between two teams who wanted to win. Tackling allowed, players falling over trying to con the officials, common sense used by the officials, particularly when Heckinbotham acted like an idiot just before half t...

Hi everyone, Please find below, the latest update for Rate the Ref. Since the Wolves game, we have had a victory at Watford (Pawson) and two defeats against Aston Villa (Coote) and Spurs (Friend) and in this update, all three officials have taken a points hit, with two (Pawson and Coote) sliding do...

Its not the refereeing or the VAR that is the problem but the TV coverage and what is at stake in profession football. If you took away all the TV cameras and all the Premier and Football league money then it would be more like non-league football. Trouble is as per this messageboard people are abs...

VAR has meant that two more opinions, VAR and Assistant VAR, have been introduced into 'helping' the match officials make correct decisions. The game is still played with 22 players on the pitch at any one time, it used to be officiated quite well by 3 officials and it was accepted that the odd mist...

Sad to read this news, always enjoyed watching him in various guises. RIP Dennis Waterman.

Just a note, Marney, that photograph is Dennis Norton who sadly passed away in September 2018.

:lol: Read laws of the game? Sorry why? I can use my eyes and see how inconsistent he’s been. Some of the ridiculous fouls he’s given completely wrong and I won’t get started on the yellows. You also need to watch with the commentary turned off so that you do not have to listen to the inane ramblin...

Ashingtonclaret46

This ref has given some of the oddest decisions I’ve seen I suggest that you read up The Laws of the Game and their interpretation. Referee was solid all night and would not be conned by players falling about all over the place. He tried to let the game flow, yes he could have issued a couple of ca...

Happy memories of going to Maine Road with my dad, who was in his 40th season supporting the Clarets. The atmosphere in the ground was really good but it was a tense match and, at the end, we still found it hard to believe that we had won the league. It really hit us when we arrived home and my mum,...

SImple enough, the best team won and they wanted it more!

Ashingtonclaret46

Just seeing Joe Royle, Graham Sharpe and Peter Reid watching Richarlisson being treated because he kicked a Chelsea player ------I would certainly give a penny for their thoughts on the modern game!

Ashingtonclaret46

Just Frank's mates doing him a favour and they should be two down by now! You have to remember that Everton belong in the PL, unlike a number of other clubs.

Ashingtonclaret46

Our Youth team beat Wolves 1-0 this afternoon to make it four undefeated.
Will Hugill scored the goal in the second half and our keeper, Harry Moss, making a return to the team saved a penalty.
Earlier in the season we lost to Wolves 0-3 away from home. A good afternoon for we Clarets.

Ashingtonclaret46

Sadly, our batting seems to have got back to normal this morning with four wickets falling for 24 runs in 8 overs after a third wicket stand of 37 in 7 overs. Now 100-6.

Ashingtonclaret46

He has whinged on because the next time that one of his players goes down in the box the referee will be under pressure to treat his club 'fairly' Gordon and Richarlisson have won a lot of decisions this season by going down after the slightest touch. Sadly, this is the modern game and it won't get ...

Come on, Boro! 8-) The Liverpool game has a big act to follow after last night. FUlham v Nottinham Forest was decent too ---apart from Fulham players preparing themselves for the PL by falling over every time someone breathed on them and thinking that every contact was a foul. Have the locals sober...

Ashingtonclaret46

Leeds talked Zaha off his game tonight, threw one or two fouls in to help their cause and, consequently, he became more and more frustrated and tried 'clever' things when he should have been playing it simple. Referee was very lenient with the cards tonight when you consider the three that we recevi...

Ashingtonclaret46

How did we win the cautions 3-1? Vydra possibly and Barnes for winding them up. Charlie gets booked for time wasting, however, Wolves committed 7 fouls and 4 of those were by Hwang Hee-Chan who argued the case on two of them but escapes a caution.
Oh, I forgot ---Anthony Taylor was the referee!

Where they, could not remember which way it was given… I think I was in shock an ex-pro could be so ignorant of a age old BASIC rule of the game.

I always have the sound muted when I watch games on TV ----enjoy them much more without the inane mumblings of whoever.

Ashingtonclaret46

See above - and no standing ground is different than active ‘obstruction’. Watching the game back against Southampton I noticed the ‘expert’ (former Wolves striker, name fails me) commentator, when a Southampton player deliberately led on the ball when he lost control, “that’s not a foul” - DEAD WR...

It was a pen. It was a red card. Cornet missed. Move on

Almost correct, however, the referee was 100% correct ---move on.

1-0 Brighton in the dying seconds, Spurs being Spursy again.

Has the paint dried yet? Spurs at home manage to muster 5 shots with 0 on target, even though they managed 48% possession. Modern football at its best!

Ashingtonclaret46

Give over. You won’t see a more blatant yellow than the one he cowardly bottled. Not at all, it was a mere coming together as happens in every game, however, modern fans and pundits etc. think that every occurrence should be a yellow card, if that was the case you would never finish any game. By yo...

Worst performance I’ve seen from him - just didn’t apply the rules - truly abysmal to put it mildly 6 1 12 12 Quite right --he didn't apply the rules, he applied The Laws of The Game which is what is required and he applied them extremely well as per the instructions from his employers. He was alwa...

Have we flirted with relegation throughout our time in the PL?

Well, we have been relegated twice, however, our average position over the last five seasons is 13th because we finished in 7th and 10th but also in 15th ,16th and 17th. I suppose that we have flirted on three occasions.

It would be great to emulate Leicester's last 9 games in 2014/15. After 29 matches they were rooted to bottom spot having won 4, drawn 7, lost 18, scored 27 and against 48 with 19 points. They finished the season in 14th place having won 7, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 9 games, scoring 19 with 7...

Ashingtonclaret46

How do you rate a referee who has a different interpretation to The Laws of the Game which is dependant on which team commits an offence? No wonder that Sean was doing his pieces on the sideline, particularly after Corbet was flattened in the off the ball incident and no action was taken at all. Cit...

He first refereed us on 25 October 1997 at home to Bournemouth in Division 3, a game which we drew, 2-2, and Eddie Howe was one of three cautions given to Bournemouth players.

Ashington v Newton Aycliffe --a game between 6th and 7th in the Northern League Division 1.
Ashington had been going great until a run of 3 successive league defeats has seen them drop down from 3rd to 7th in the table. Goals are almost guaranteed with 88 scored on 20 matches at Woodhorn Road.

There is quite a possibility that Sunderland will field a strong team with a number of players returning from injuries, including Vinnie Steels.

Ashingtonclaret46

What is wrong, as far as I am concerned, is the fact that they are using VAR at a Championship ground for the first time in this season's competition. They do not deem that it is necessary in any of the previous rounds so why do they deem it necessary in the 6th Round? From memory, the AR did not fl...

Would have been there in normal circumstances because I am on the Mackems' database for tickets. Unfortunately, I am away out of the area for a couple of weeks involved with Inter-Services football so miss another 'home' game!

Really sad to read this news. Cracking player and always interesting to chat to when he would recount tales of football in a very different era.
MY condolences to all his family and friends at this very sad time.

They have scored 29 from 29 games but seem to hit multiple goals rather than singles. This approach gives you far more chance of winning in my eyes. Some prefer the clean sheet method and try and knick one. We have failed to score in far too many matches. It may surprsie you to know that Watford ha...

With Everton still in the cup they have had more PPs with their Crystal Palace game being off.

Oh yes, Watfo...

He very clearly sticks his right leg in, in an attempt to get the ball. He gets nowhere near it and bundles Toney over. Clear foul but not a red card, according to the law. He certainly did, after making up a lot of ground to catch Toney. There was a coming together and a penalty was correct, howev...

Saw him play quite a number of times and he was a very uncompromising left back in a day when tackles were accepted as the 'norm' and football was a very different game to its modern form.
Probably Tony's dad was correct in his evaluation! ---there were a lot around in those days!
