Sad to hear. OFAH probably my fave sitcom of all time. Even though you knew what was coming, it was still funny. 69 in today's world is still pretty young as well. Unfortunately, not many of the main cast remaining. Mike behind the bar, Trigger, Mickey Pearce, Grandad, Uncle Albert, Boycie, Sid (Si...

What an odd thing to say. My lad was born in Manchester, but supports Burnley as they are my team. Funnily enough no one has ever dismissed him because he doesn't support United or City. I bet Sykes's dad doesn't support Newcastle though. Anyway he's had a bit of a mare against his 'boyhood club.' ...

Thanks but I've known Jimmy since he was 12. I know exactly who he supports.

I lost all interest after reading that though he was born in Burnley 'he grew up supporting Newcastle.'

Last seasons final was played last season against Bolton which we lost at the end of April.
We did play the previous seasons final up at Barrow in November (and lost that on penalties)
This is definitely the first round of this seasons competition

Apologies. You are quite correct.

Held over from last season & being played tomorrow afternoon at Gawthorpe. No spectators allowed.

I think those mentioning Bond releasing Lee Dixon are very much using hindsight. I can only remembering appearing in the first team once at Turf and he went to Bury and Huddersfield (if memory serves) before he really shone as a prospect. Dixon didn't play for Huddersfield. Went to Chester before B...

I think...
Brierly is an under 18 midfielder, he's very small
Pouani is an under 18 midfielder
Campbell is a defender (from what I've seen he's a prospect)
Pimlott is a left back or left wing-back
Clarke is a midfielder, recently signed.

Pimlott the best prospect of the lot IMO.

That's a throw back to the 70'S, Rule the Arsenal. It's actually a song called 'Good Old Arsenal' & reached the UK Top 20 singles chart in 1971. It was written by Jimmy Hill (!) & the lyrics (to the tune of Rule Britannia) go something like 'Good Old Arsenal, we're proud to say that name, while we ...

Ok , there are times when you should be open to what you see sport wise , but the only thing i am upset with is i never went to an American basketball game ( NBA ) as did the 3 other major sports in the US I'll stick to football & cricket thanks. American sports hold no interest for me whatsoever. ...

Wow, do they have a really good Academy? Don’t follow it at all but whenever I hear their results they seem to be impressive. It's a very unpredictable league. We drew at Rovers where it took a 97th minute equaliser to deny us the win, and then we were outclassed by Liverpool to the tune of a 1-6 h...

I wonder if they invite Burnley back to play them in an invitation friendly, for a ground re opening friendly. Like they did in 1955, for the opening of the Nou Camp. 1957. And we didn't actually play Barcelona, we played Brazilian team Flamengo and lost 0-4. The stadium was officially opened the p...

One of the most self-serving, pompous professional sportsmen to play any sport. I’m sure stick to cricket is half decent but I won’t be watching that episode. Nowhere near as good as he thought he was.

Only 8000 runs in 108 Tests at an average of just under 48. Yes he was proper rubbish.

Next season the Blast is being played in one block, with the group games reduced to 12, and the quarter finals & finals day itself following on immediately.

I used to think Solihull Moors was Solihull Motors, like a car dealership from solihull had qualified for the FA Cup. Took me until well into my 30's to notice.

They were originally called Solihull Borough, but merged with Moor Green FC early this century, hence their name now.
