I moved from Todmorden to Newcastle in 1977, the Geordies called me a southerner!

CleggHall

Stayed in a Keswick hotel last year, no bread or toast available at breakfast and staff had no money to go out and purchase any, £150 per night.

CleggHall

Classic photo of 59/60 Championship winning side too.

CleggHall

The cupboard is bare!

CleggHall

Boxing Day Turf Moor v Liverpool, muddy ground 0’Neil and Tommy Smith going at it hammer and tongs, no quarter given. Smith demolishes O’Neil in front of the longside, O’Neil looks up and shouts “hey Tommy” then follows it with perfectly aimed mudball straight in his face. Smith grimaces then smiles...

CleggHall

Yes, Johnny Abrahams did similar in a 1 day final for Lancs but notwithstanding was given man of the Match!

CleggHall

Ireland look like a Minor Counties side, a complete mis-match.

CleggHall

Much moaning in away end at Sunderland about Barnes who was rightly subbed off at half time. Team turned it round in 2nd half particularly Benson, Barnes revival came later.

CleggHall

Injury prone pace bowlers a worry for the Ashes series!

CleggHall

But the fact remains he is simply not good enough to play in the PL, for United, Burnley or even Luton.

CleggHall

Weghorst and Cornet as expected, relegation culprits!?

CleggHall

A comfortable win in a 1-sided match, was it disappointing for paying spectators?

CleggHall

A very nice tribute CT, your warmth and admiration for Dobbo shines through, a genuine clarets legend.

CleggHall

A very consistent performer, loyal and no bother, I wish him well.

CleggHall

.....before the season’s nonsense the Hundred wipes out cricket in August!

CleggHall

Yes it fooled me, switched it off but watched after reading this thread. Thanks for the alert, the writers are dark and brilliant.

CleggHall

Gough has the brains of a peewit!

CleggHall

Can’t argue with that, a mess on and off the field.

CleggHall

Yes a good interview, Pace has grown into the job and settled down in the area that is Burnley. A realist who thinks the world of Kompany, long may they continue!

CleggHall

A great report Tony, you serve us well!

CleggHall

Bury - Oldham - Rochdale, our near neighbours but all now playing non - league football, a pity!?

CleggHall

78 and first game at Turf Moor was August 1959!

CleggHall

Listened to match reports coming through from Maine road on a crackling BBC light programme, then hearing about the team’s triumphant homecoming coach journey back to Burnley. The greatest day of my Clarets supporting.

CleggHall

Coming back to beat Sunderland 2-4 away after being 2-0 down at half time and seemingly going nowhere. Barnes subbed off then wingers Zaroury and Benson got to work!

CleggHall

Here’s hoping!
Team selection could be both interesting and important.

CleggHall

Well deserved awards, not often that fullbacks get the glory?

CleggHall

Two honest, realistic interviews.
VK doesn’t like us chasing the game, playing outside “the plan” but we should have put the game to bed in the 1st half.
Play the game and opposition and don’t chase the title!

CleggHall

A sad day after 102 years of league football at Spotland, I cut my teeth watching football at the Dale in the 1950s.

CleggHall

Yes a good programme, Vic/Jim recently had an exhibition of his bird paintings in Newcastle, selling for up to £4,000!

CleggHall

Yes very poor viewing, difficult to distinguish the players, only 1 camera, no replays and pedestrian commentator. I turned off in 2nd half.

CleggHall

VK could not hide his disappointment at the result, keen to emphasise that “the game was not end to end”.

CleggHall

Lead actor as Detective Neil Adamson is Burnley-born actor Lee Ingleby, making a good job of the part too. Shows the behind the scenes turmoil as Newcastle police hunt down the villain.

CleggHall

“benches bolted to concrete steps” - my back is aching at the thought of it!

CleggHall

ain’t no time for the Summertime Blues!

CleggHall

A good report on a frustrating day for you Tony, many thanks.

CleggHall

Yes Keown talks a lot of sense, Kompany should stay where he is, whatever happens next season he is a winner. A move to Tottenham and Levy at this stage is nonsense

CleggHall

The Blues v the Glens, Belfast derby, used to be very lively in the past with a bit of religious rivalry thrown into the mix!

CleggHall

Yes a marvellous signing, has given good and loyal service to the club, a player no-one likes to be up against. Thanks Ash and good luck.

CleggHall

Lancs had Surrey 4 down at lunch but let them off the hook later, poorish bowling and captaincy to blame?

CleggHall

Gene!?

CleggHall

Agreed LeadBelly, Patel is standing down as YCCC chairman, a right royal mess with no winners.

CleggHall

Other 5 did not attend the hearing to defend themselves, Hoggard, Bresnan, Gale, Pyrah and Blain all found guilty of using the p word.

CleggHall

Sad, I cut my teeth at Spotland prior to travelling to TM but the Dale have had little success and attendances have always been on the low side. Back in the late 50s I never thought that I would watch competitive matches between the Dale and Clarets, it just shows how far we fell. Oldham - Bury - Ro...

CleggHall

A good career overall but a disastrous last couple of years, a very poor signing for him and us. Neither party did their homework!

CleggHall

If voters/assessors don’t give very high votes for excellent performances and very low points for absolute shockers, this is what you get. Little variation in average scores added up over a season and a tendency to “revert to the middle”. Simple arithmetic really. The same applies with marking exami...

CleggHall

Little variability here, all are bunched around say 6.8, difficult to distinguish the stars from the duds but all have been very good this season though many on this board have strongish views on Muric!

CleggHall

Isaac Wilson is a good large real ale pub in the town, 15 minutes walk to ground, mixture of home and away farms.

CleggHall

Not an easy read (or write) but a season would not be complete without the annual City thrashing!

CleggHall

Muric’s saves worth a mention?

CleggHall

Yes sadly newspapers are on the way out, falling demand given 24 hours news available elsewhere. Local newspapers bit the dust years ago, use it or lose it!
