Aye, I have to admit that it is a real bind living in this beautiful county when I could have stayed in Oswaldtwistle all my life. Walk along the banks of the Wansbeck tomorrow and in 30 minutes I shall be on Sandy Bay between Cambois and Newbiggin ---it's a hard life! I have to thank my missus, who...

Sorry to read that you’ve given up your ST Ashington, I don’t get down too often nowadays. May bump into you at some non league game, I go occasionally to South Shields and Darlo. All the best and as always UTC! The Covid messing around was the final straw really. I was fed up with VAR, which I fee...

Hi Colburn, I shall be away with Ashington AFC at Carlisle that night. I gave up my ST at the Turf last season because of the Covid problems and have been doing non-league ever since. Have a good trip and let's hope for another good result.

I think it's good that this has happened and I want to see more of it. Of course the Wigan player's red card should also be rescinded. It's fortunate that Wigan won the match and justice was served. With no VAR it should be checked. I hope to see more of this so we can deter cheating. Clubs should ...

I wonder whether people who have tickets for Saturday are going to get a full day's play. Our batting is so fragile and certainly doesn't fill you with confidence, never mind, Crawley is still there.

LIsa Rashid was spot on with all her offside decisions, me and my lad were sat in Block 1 of the stand on that touchline. Their players were very slow in learning the lesson! CT, good to see the photos you used, it was a Parker family night out lol. Dad travelled from Northumberland, Lee, the photog...

I don't wish to nit pick as he was good but I will! 1. Egan-Riley pulled a Shrewsbury player back and a free kick wasn't awarded but normally a player would get a yellow card for that. He didn't. 2. Tella got injured and was treated on the pitch but didn't go off to the sidelines to return. He just...

A very good referee with lots of experience and he showed it. ALways in control, very clear with all decisions and often had a quiet word with players about minor offences without being noticed as having done so.

Ashingtonclaret46

The criticism of Barnes tonight is absolutely ludicrous. The way we were playing Alan Shearer would not have been anywhere near scoring. Any forward needs the ball playing into the box and it is not happening. THe number of times we got to the edge of their area and then proceeded to play the ball b...

You can park down the far end away from the shops but it will cost you a fiver I think. You turn in as though you are going into the retail park but then go right on the roundabout just inside and continue down to the end. It is around a 15 to 20 minute walk to the ground.

I know that they said that the Ashes series next season would finish early in order to accommodate The Hundred, however, I didn't know that we had arranged to finish Test Matches early this year so that we could turn over and watch the Hundred. Having said that, it is the Womens' Hundred taking plac...

Ashingtonclaret46

Poor batting and poor bowling by one side countermanded by good batting and really good bowling by the other side ---only one winner and it will probably be today.
Never mind, we can all watch the abomination that is The Hundred!

To describe the nature of a game you need to use an adjective. Here are some good ones he could have used. Physical, tough, contact, hard, solid, strong, vigorous, dynamic, intense, lively, battling, aggressive, combative, hostile, bitter, firm, forceful etc. But he chose 'Man's'... That's because,...

Oh dear. Lot of things on my bingo card ticked off here. You missed 'cancel culture' and 'wokism' by the way. Freedom of speech =/= freedom of consequence.

I think everyone understands what he was trying to say, and being honest, most fans would agree with what he meant in his head. He's just worded it carelessly. Clever thing to do is apologise for his unfortunate misspeak and use the platform to explain the intended meaning, then move on. Doubling d...

Ashingtonclaret46

At this level it's more about development though, think there were some impressive performances in there. You could tell the team was a bit disjointed with a good number of those players spending the vast majority of preseason with the senior team whilst others were with the U18s. I prefer to look ...

Finishes 2-0. Not many clear cut chances but don't feel that 2-0 is a representative scoreline.

Very true, however, at whatever level the game is played, the only important figures are Reading 2 Burnley 0 and nothing else is relevant.

Very sad news, RIP Lenny

Ashingtonclaret46

Many thanks for the report CT, although it was another disappointing result as far as Burnley FC is concerned.
I certainly miss my trips to Gawthorpe and can't be sure that I shall ever get there again. C'est la vie!

Ashingtonclaret46

What's the matter? We had loads of possession, loads of passes,even though many were either square or backwards, limited the opposition to one shot on target and we lost but ---it wasn't Dyche Ball so everyone will be happy ---won't they? We have scored more goals than we had at this stage last seas...

Re entry charge… https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/burnley-under-21s-24703430 Confusion reigns ---who were we playing? Also they state that ST holders will get free entry but they have also said that they will get free entry to the next game because they may have paid at the game ...

AR didn't flag, referee didn't blow for anything, therefore, ball still in play and players should play to the whistle. All fair play as far as the German Officials and I am concerned.

Ashingtonclaret46

One of the angles on tv showed that he could not see if there was contact with the ball or not. On that basis he can’t give it but the lino down that side should have had a clear view and should have stuck his flag across his chest. Just one point about that,Trevor, the lino, or whatever else they ...

IFAB have also been 'clarifying' what is deliberate and non-deliberate as far as offside is concerned. ENJOY!

Jos wins his first toss, decides to insert the opposition and discovers that he has made a big mistake.
We pummelled them last night when they put us in and we should have taken advantage again by batting first. You win some, you lose some!

He's had 10 twice before, but he's just taken 11 in this one.

He bowled really well in both innings. Well done to George Lavelle with 4 catches and a stumping in the 2nd innings.
Smashing win after the batting failure in the first innings, although Kent did put us in to bat.

It’s not been implemented in internationals yet has it?

Domestic game have been using the rule.

I think that you are correct, my mistake.

Ashingtonclaret46

Noticed again tonight when Roy skied the ball he just turned and walked towards the pavillion leaving the incoming batsman on strike when the batsmen should have crossed. Unless it is the end of an over, the new batsman must face the next ball, it is irrelevant whether or not they cross when a catc...

Very sad news. A natural goalscorer and one who just got on with the game. Tremendous scoring record at club and International level. RIP Uwe Seeler.

Looked again at Root ---not too clever really.

Ashingtonclaret46

Good decision to put us in. Poor shot by Roy but nothing much that Root and Stokes could do. Looking at the way the ball is moving and bouncing I don't think that we will last 50 overs!

On field umpire’s soft signal was not out and there was enough doubt leaving the third umpire with no option.

On field soft signal decision was out --- which left the third umpire with no option as you state.

Commentators can say what they want about that catch, however, without the sound on and just watching the replays ---it was not out!

What a gentleman Jaume Munar is. At a crucial point of his fifth set against Norrie, at 30-love up, Norrie hits a screamer cross court that is called out. Munar tells Norrie to challenge and it is overturned. Norrie went on to break and go 4-2 up. What a tremendous match this has been and it still ...

They now play Israel in the final on Friday.
Israel unexpectedly beat France tonight 2-1 in a very workmanlike performance, some very good defending and aided by some poor finishing from the French.

Ashingtonclaret46

They just kept at it and it was a good game to watch with 25 attempts on goal, 13 of which were on target and both keepers made some excellent saves. Some of the 37 fouls were marginal, however, the referee was consistent and cautioned 10 players. Great to reach a final at whatever level, good luck ...

The worry is, what job is he taking up?

I think that he is taking over the management of SG2 referees who mainly referee in The Championship.

Ashingtonclaret46

I can't remember that at all. What was so bad about him? Neither can I. We had won the previous three matches, he cautioned two players, both from Pompey and Pompey were relegated at the end of the season. He obviously was not a favourite of those who rate the ref, in spite of only ever doing the o...

Home against Portsmouth on 10 December 2011 which we lost 0-1 with David Norris scoring in the 90th minute.

Is that our Gudmundsson on the bench for Iceland tonight?
Just checking him out on wiki and amazed to see he scored an international hat trick in a World Cup qualifier, away to Switzerland, back in 2013.

Not Joey. It is Albert Gudmundsson who wears number 10 for Iceland and plays for Genoa.

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.

Absolutely no chance Sheffield will win.

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...
