A good base in County cricket is required before tossing into the International arena - Bethell and Baker need another 12 months before selection.

CleggHall

Agree with all this, non-openable packaging is far too common these days but don’t get me started on tinned corn beef!

CleggHall

A hard-hitting, angry broadside against Man Utd and their beneficial treatment by refs, var and the media. We could all see that penalty coming, partly Jaidon’s fault but also a clear dive. C’est la vie!

CleggHall

Will never forget how he took Sunderland apart 2nd half in 4-2 victory away.

CleggHall

Agreed a good one but could do with shipping a few more “non contributors” out.

CleggHall

A good report on a disappointing day but why a game of two halves?

CleggHall

Watched final few overs on youtube, crowd was 3 men and no dogs from camera angle, hopefully many more near pavilion?

CleggHall

It’s amazing the movement of players in and out of the club over the past 4 years, I don’t imagine that we have ever seen such volumes traded at other times in the club’s history.

CleggHall

Many thanks Tony, well worth reading a second time by everybody, a fine tribute to Mac.

CleggHall

Great player, most skilful, strong and tough, lovely man.
Finest Claret I was lucky to watch and cannot forgive Bob Lord for brutally scything him down.
RIP Jimmy Mac.

CleggHall

Well done all 4, most deserved and a pity that 3 seek pastures new!

CleggHall

A balanced, reflective report - many thanks.
Presages a difficult, painful season ahead but keep the faith.

CleggHall

A good detailed report on the whole day’s experience but did the fiancée like it?!

CleggHall

Spotland or Willbutts Lane grand old ground, up the Dale!

CleggHall

An excellent signing, experienced and a very fair price.

CleggHall

The Guardian in its season’s preview has us finishing 20th - what do they know?

CleggHall

Poor selection, Bethell and Overton have not played red ball cricket this year and it shows!

CleggHall

Yes another one caught in Bob Lord’s crossfire.
A tidy player, glad he has reached a ripe old age.

CleggHall

Hat trick at White Hart Lane in 4-3 defeat in the 1960s lives in my memory, RIP Willie.

CleggHall

A bit harsh on Walker, a 90+ England cap man who could prove a very good signing. West Auckland World Cup win is much celebrated in the north east. Agree that we have had a decent transfer session so far but fully agree with your views on the differences between clubs spending over £50 million on on...

CleggHall

Saved a few in the penalty shoot out at SJP in League Cup tie, Charlie Taylor clinched the tie for us.
Hennessey has had a decent career.

CleggHall

Yes a nice turnaround, responsible batting from Smith and Brook, a long way to go though.

CleggHall

No nothing on Langer’s dossier, what did it say about Jimmy?

CleggHall

Yes he obviously likes Broad particularly his blue eyes!
I jest not.

CleggHall

Just read this, outstanding cricketer but riddled with self doubt. Upset with enforced England retirement given to him in Manchester pub by Stokes, Key and Baz, truanting from St Teds, roughing up adult batsmen in Burnley nets, Lancs and England dressing rooms. Much technical stuff on fast bowling, ...

CleggHall

Brook a very lucky boy, caught off a no ball in the last over, irresponsible youth!

CleggHall

…..goodbye, cheerio, see you!

CleggHall

Yes nice analogy Tony, anyone would like Boston and Douglas on their side.

CleggHall

Finally knighted at the palace today, some 40 years too late. Discriminated against in Cardiff so moved to Wigan and rugby league. Prolific try scorer, unstoppable on his day, I saw a linesman break his leg avoiding Billy at Rochdale Hornets. A supreme gentleman arise Sir Billy.

CleggHall

A pity that WIndies always fall short, was at Riverside on Friday where it was a similar story. England bat well down the order but the bowling is average and we are being flattered by the opposition.

CleggHall

A pity, nice guy but after a good 1st year Boro’s results just not good enough.

CleggHall

Clive rattled the roof tiles of a house adjacent to one of Kent’s out grounds in the 70s, occupant woman refused to return the balls until he was out!

CleggHall

Pulled a stump out of the ground and smacked Ces Abrahams over the head with it during a Central Lancs League game and he branded his wife with a hot iron. The stump incident was against Leslie Warburton at Littleboro (I was there) but there may have been others. A fiery little bowler, a firecracke...

CleggHall

This will kill international cricket, first Zimbabwe then the West Indies, glad I didn’t pay.
India should give us a game however.

CleggHall

A good article but a sorry story, cricket is less important at Old Trafford which has seemingly become a concert venue and hotel business.

CleggHall

Wrote 1960s book “The rise of Gerry Logan”, football book loosely based on Gerry Hitchens, a decent read.

CleggHall

Old school in most respects, a fine obituary writer and long time goalie for Corinthian Casuals. RIP

CleggHall

Eddie Howe simply a nice guy, I had pneumonia and was treated in the RVI last year, an excellent hospital.

CleggHall

Impressive, an honest informative interview.
Talks very highly of the manager and the chairman, but no we wouldn’t be satisfied with a nil all draw with Man Utd in November. They are there for the taking!

CleggHall

An excellent player but a hogwash report full of jargon and ill-defined terms.

CleggHall

Excellent report, one of your best.

CleggHall

Sums it up well Mike, workmanlike grafters who gave their all for a full season. 4 promotions is more than anyone could ask for, Burnley are indeed in the top 20 English football teams. Up the Clarets!

CleggHall

Watching cricket Durham v Yorks at the Riverside but with one eye at Watford!

CleggHall

A good interview, sensible lad who speaks well, whatever the future, Josh Brownhill has been a key Burnley player.

CleggHall

A poor night’s football, dreadful game but OK result!?

CleggHall

A fantastic fast bowling pro in both Lancs leagues, played on into a late age, cricket was in his soul. RIP

Went to school with his brother Roger. used to open the batting with him for the school team, he was a batsman who bowled a bit, and yes they were both yorkies.
RIP Peter

Had a brother Colin who played minor counties cricket then a very successful professional at Heywood.

CleggHall

Todmorden born Peter Lever died earlier today, an excellent fast bowler in the 60s/70s for Lancashire and England, deserved more caps. Retired to Rochdale area I believe.

CleggHall

Nice that you highlight Brownhill’s goal scoring productivity, an excellent player who flies below the horizon, also the scandalous Newcastle Saudis who go unnoticed at SJP.

CleggHall

Nice that you mentioned the late Leighton James, what an exciting player, a firm favourite at Turf Moor but not the best centre half at Hartlepool!
