Good win and they kept the Western Terrace quiet.

To liven it up have a drink every time the commentators mention the Western Terrace. Must be paid bonuses to say it.

If it goes on as much as it is rumoured to maybe it’s time clubs come out and say. At least the bottom clubs would know where they stand.
The gap seems to be widening between the 2nd division and top and I don’t buy into players move clubs for ‘better facilities’ it’s Lancashire league cricket!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Heard back in the late 80’s and 90’s clubs tried to poach a few of Rawtenstall’s star players which resulted in local enforcer’s Jackie Barnes and Colin Knuckles having to get involved.

Just my opinion but the lancs league have destroyed the league with two divisions ok if you are a top team in div one with your very good players but how do division 2 teams keep there good players that theyhave when the big boys come for them 2 nddivision standard very average a lot of the times a...

Rawtenstall lose by 4 wickets away at Church. Another 5 wicket haul for Keith Roscoe.

Yes...we all know that.
You're guessing at the rest and could easily be wrong on all counts.

Indeed. Massively surprised he didn’t have a club lined up. And wouldn’t be a huge shock if he does end up back with us.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Some real guff on here as usual, there is a really good player in Foster, he can finish too, I recall a really nice steered finish away to Sheff Utd when I was right in front of it, but it seems to be down to how much is swilling around his head at a moment in time. I suspect he is one not to hang ...

Clearly trying to get a gig somewhere....time we left him to it.

He played a huge part in getting us back up and left on good terms. I’m sure he’ll sign for someone soon. And if not I’m sure Parker hasn’t closed the door on him.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Umpires have been at the time wasting! Unbelievable how long it’s taken to change balls. Walk faster!! As for the test, I read this is the 8th time scores have been tied at the halfway stage, only 1 has been won by the team batting last… Deciding to change the ball straight after a drinks break has...

Steve-Harpers-perm

1 over. The time wasting in this test is absolutely farcical.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Fantastic to see Beyer back.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Another memory of the Shrewsbury cup tie was at the turf a big banner being passed down the longside reading John Bond is a w@nker.

Also have a memory on the Granada Friday evening kick off programme he faced questions in the studio from Burnley fans.

Steve-Harpers-perm

The game at Sheffield should not have gone ahead. I suspect it would have been abandoned at half time but with us leading 0-2 that was not likely to happen. And a huge away following! Met Jamie Hoyland on a night out in Rawtenstall who spoke about this game and said it should never have gone ahead ...

I suspect JBL is to replace Brownhill, playing him through the middle rather than out wide

Can’t see that far too lightweight to be playing in the middle. Suspect he’ll be used from the bench as a replacement for one of our departing wingers like Benson.

Steve-Harpers-perm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAYkwJlh-B0 Superb watch this. Look at the away end, dearys reaction to a red and Mullens celebrations. Fantastic. You simply dont see raw, natural passion like this now. That away end. Wow. And John Bond undercover! I didnt go to this game but went to the following ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

The number of good games he has had you can count on one hand. Someone should make a t shirt of the Villa away game. In ten years time half the population of Burnley will claim to have been there.

Steve-Harpers-perm

No substance to this other than a group WhatsApp but Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi a possible target.

Doesn’t need to be a whipping boy been here 3 seasons won’t score enough hopefully we manage to move him on this summer.

Won’t get a big over off this Turner looks like he’s batting in a 4 day match.

Steve-Harpers-perm

The big players once again when it really matters can’t see an innings through.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Heaton Park is a dreadful venue watched Stone Roses there. Imagine they’ll be a fair amount of people wandering around late tonight with sun stroke tonight trying to work out how to get home!

Wouldn’t say JBL has much pace? Not slow but not quick.

Agree didn’t look to be particularly pacy.

Be a bit underwhelming if it’s JBL.

Former player returning?

Steve-Harpers-perm

I’m not sure whether it’s lost youth or a lost football culture that makes me pine for days like that. Was a great day out, remember that Deary free kick like it was yesterday. I’m sure he scored with the same set piece against someone else that season. Think he scored a similar free kick at Wigan ...

Rishton win at Rawtenstall by 4 wickets.

Steve-Harpers-perm

We"re pinning our hopes of Archer next text match, who's had about 4 days of red ball cricket in 4 years or something ludicrous. He should have been playing for his county this week to get miles in his legs, not carrying the drinks. I'll have a little wager with anybody he doesn't get through the L...

Rawtenstsall score 278 in 48 overs but our target in the same number of overs is 285!

It’s a strange system!

He makes a difference but he’s had a career beset with injuries

Yep good bowler but as you say struggled with injury though appeared more than Archer has who for some reason we seem to be pinning our hopes on despite him hardly playing for the past few years.

Hope it was a successful day with the weather and the appropriate security arrangements were in place. Is the final at Burnley on the same day as the Lazio game?

i sometimes forget what an utter knob Dean Keily was in that game. Lucky to escape with all his teeth after grabbing John Deary like that!

I think the ref was mindful of the thousands of Burnley fans when he gave Deary a yellow card!

Have to sort the midfield out, currently nowhere near strong enough in the middle imho

And up front.

Burnley are 62 for 2 off 12 overs according to play cricket.

Steve-Harpers-perm

The game at The Shay that stands out the most for me was when the fans - and I mean Burnley fans, there weren't many Halifax - cleared the pitch of snow so the game could go ahead. I seem to remember the ref giving us a really dodgy pen. Just reward. My memory of that game is snowballs being thrown...

Steve-Harpers-perm

An immense signing and well done to the club for managing to keep it quiet. Going to be exciting to see who we bring in next.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Great memories went to both of the games above.

That's a cracking signing imo, probably still in contention for the World Cup squad too.

I like how we're doing business this time with a very low timeframe in getting deals done

Well done all involved

They’ve done very well keeping this deal quiet in this day and age.
