Stalbansclaret

Great game , especially in those conditions. Remarkably few errors. Leigh gave it a good rattle but ultimately the Field-French double act swing it. Another cracker tomorrow teatime hopefully.

Stalbansclaret

Not sure about that. Bet365 have Wigan 2/9 and Leigh 10/3.

Stalbansclaret

II think neutral RL fans would naturally be wanting Leigh, as underdogs, to win but Beaumont’s antics this week may have changed that. The weather could be a leveller and whilst Wigan haven’t had a truly competitive game for 3 weeks so will probably be fresher Leigh could be more battle-hardened. I’...

Well he does always win something in his second season !! Nice to see them struggling after the way the owner treated Nuno. Chris Wood had a good cameo tonight ..came on with 15 minutes left , had two goals disallowed for offside and scored a penalty .

Stalbansclaret

Yes...ridiculous grandstanding from Leigh's somewhat eccentric chairmen Derek Beaumont. Has no reason to complain at all about the number of tickets as Wigan have given Leigh around double the minimum requirement of 10% of stadium capacity. The RFL should call his bluff and tell him that unless he r...

Felt sorry for the Whinis fans(not)😁 I think it will be Warriors v Hull kr final at Old Trafford though Stalbans ..I think both semi's will be close run games though. Difficult to disagree with that but it’s not a given. Leigh are a very good team on their day and Hull KR’s form dipped at the end o...

How lucky was St Helens last night in beating the Rhinos. Feckin unbelievable

That try after the hooter was incredible. Sensational sport.

I meant I can’t understand any Burnley fan NOT wanting to know !!

We've been saying that for over a year!

Indeed , and typically being jumped on by holier-than-thou types exclaiming that fans have no right to know “personal details” about a player. But it’s just downright weird and I can’t understand any Burnley fan wanting to know what is going on.

Some belters on this thread . Springsteen has a few , for example :

Stalbansclaret

Yes very disappointing analysis of the game. Nothing at all said about us at all and some incoherent babbling from Rooney about Forest’s alleged “Angeball”.

Remas in Barrowford is always cracking for a kebab

I live about 200 yards from this establishment but , one pizza a couple of years ago aside, have not sampled its offerings. I’ll maybe give a kebab a go now.

I’d say that going to watch a game of RL live can completely change someone’s view of the game. The commitment and athleticism of the players is immense. The game is very fast-paced and, as per the OP, the ball is in play pretty much continuously. There’s usually a very good relationship between pla...

Stalbansclaret

I’m also off to Everton’s ground for the test and love rugby league generally. Watch quite a few games live …this season been to St Helens, Wakefield, Oldham, Keighley and Perpignan (CatalansDragons). As has been pointed out the game at Wigan last night was a dead rubber but the end of season play o...

He was outstanding and I really enjoyed watching him. A fantastic signing so praise for the recruitment team.

Stalbansclaret

Dubravka 10 …don’t think he could have done anything better and a couple of fantastic saves on a day when he had a fair bit to do in difficult conditions. Walker 9 …oozes class and you can see his organisational Impact at times when he is talking to teammates. Superb. Hartman 8…another very good gam...

Joke review decision to give Livingstone out…. Could well be decisive too.

Tofu …… it’s just a totally flavourless spongey substance . Surely people just pretend to like it ….there's absolutely no reason to find it a good thing to eat.

Stalbansclaret

Not going but went last Saturday at Okd Trafford and it was a brilliant afternoon. Very frustrating to be deprived of Salt and Buttler today thanks to cricket’s ridiculous scheduling/.

Stalbansclaret

This game has heightened the frustration that Salt and Buttler won’t be playing for Lancs tomorrow in the Blast finals .

It’s an individual ticket rather than a digital Season ticket. I can’t see why the QR code won’t work but the ticket office told my mate that it wouldn’t .

Stalbansclaret

I’ve a friend who is willing to sell me the extra ticket I need for this game and he’s sent me a screenshot of the ticket including the QR code. Is it right that this won’t work though ? And is there any way around this that enables me to buy a ticket directly from another supporter ? Thanks

Are there really people out there that arnt using websites like X because of the owner haha? Seems quite petty given where we get the vast majority of our products from in this country It’s not (just) because of the owner ….I decided my life would probably be better by not logging on and seeing vid...

Being played in Hungary …I think because Belarus are pariahs for supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Berlin Station …tucked away on ITVX …is a high quality American-made espionage series. Really enjoying it. I miss Homeland but this is as good as anything I’ve seen since and knocks spots off ridiculously far-fetched nonsense like Black Doves.

Just watched the first episode of this new series ….just brilliant TV . I actually find it quite an emotional watch , the way that Freddie and Kyle bond these kids together through the fantastic thing that is team sport. It’s an object lesson in how people have potential to improve given encourageme...

Ha ha yes heard that loud and clear !
Possible exciting finish building as it stands with 119 needed off 15 overs and Brook and Buttler going well.

I think anyone, in any job would want a pay rise if they’ve had an impact on the business that Isak has over the past 3 years or they’d be looking somewhere else. If he’d have been shite for 3 years Newcastle would have no problem trying to ship him out where ever they could even without him wantin...

A shame for Adams but the new owners are perfectly entitled to Sikh a new coach.

Stalbansclaret

One of the all-time greats. A truly unique and instantly recognisable voice.
In Dreams is , I always think, an incredible song. No verse-chorus-verse structure, just a gradual climb to an amazing finale. The use of it by David Lynch in Blue Velvet really blew my mind when I first saw it.

Stalbansclaret

Superb as the cad , Sergeant Troy, in the excellent film adaptation of Far From the Madding Crowd. Part of a brilliant cast …Alan Bates, Julie Christie, Peter Finch… in one of my favourite British films.

Stalbansclaret

I think one of the great explorers from the age of global discovery. Those guys went through incredible hardships to go to places no one from Europe had been to before . So maybe Shackleton, hero of the greatest survival story ever, or Speke who discovered the source of the Nile.

Just reading this thread whilst enjoying a great pint in The Beer Necessities having enjoyed walking along the canal from Hebden. I regularly do this walk as not only does it pass through some lovely scenery I think both towns are interesting to spend time in. Agree that Tod is very “up and coming” ...

Been waiting for Hutchy to deliver and he has absolutely not let us down. Gold.

Stalbansclaret

Not sure snobbish is right. Here are a few things for me which makes it lose all appeal. Why is it 100 balls in 5 delivery blocks when nobody else does this, everywhere else it is 20 overs and 6 deliveries. As someone who takes an interest in Lancashire CCC do I follow Manchester originals which is...

Stalbansclaret

Some fairly predictable responses and even verging on the snobbish side. For the record I love Test cricket and there is no doubt it is the supreme form of cricket. There’s also no doubt that 9000 people, including myself, had a brilliantly enjoyable time at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Stalbansclaret

Like many “trad” cricket fans I’ve scoffed at The Hundred but I’m posting this on the train back from Manchester after what was, I have to say, a brilliant night at Old Trafford tonight . Manchester Originals beat London Spirit in a tight game with plenty of runs scored, a pantomime villain in David...

Stalbansclaret

Would be interesting to see who else was involved in the “in-house” game today. Possibly involving all those who are a bit short of fitness/coming back from injuries? Tresor Ramsey Flemming Roberts Perhaps? Not sure when the other game kicked off but Ramsey was sitting at the back of the Directors ...

Stalbansclaret

Likely to be strong on the right wing.

On one-off performances, thought Sheff Weds last season were the best team to come to the Turf; they played us off the park 1st half, but, as we so often did, we ground out a result.

Wasn’t it 4-0 ? That’s a hell of a grinding !!
You’re right about the first half though.

I’m only watching the Virtual Reality games this season. Our march to Champions League qualification spearheaded by 30-goal Lyle Foster.

Stalbansclaret

He was obviously in great pain and you could see both the blood and swelling on his foot. Mind you it was self-inflicted to a high degree by virtue of the ridiculous shot he tried to play !
But that’s all part of what makes him a brilliantly entertaining cricketer to watch.

I used to really enjoy using Twitter / X for #twitterclarets, but I came off it last year for the reasons mentioned above.

Phil Eastwood.
Remember him playing in Chris Waddle’s first (?) game as manager away at Watford. Was a baking hot day and we had a big support which was put in the end which is now the home end. At least that’s how I remember it.
