England played well, Australia battled hard but Kerr missed a couple of good chances and it was a good win in the end. Well done. A strange refereeing display in the first half when everything seemed to go for the Aussies, however, she had a much, much better second half and was on top of her game a...

Think that was Andros Townsend Ashington.

I think so too, thanks for that, I was fed some wrong information earlier today. Owd age!

I notice that Redmond has been included by quite a few, however, he has not been signed by Burnley and is a free agent. VK decided that he was surplus to requirement because of other players signed.

Gang related incident, dispute between well known North east families.

Without doubt Neil, however, a football match with lots of families attending is not the place or time to do what happened tonight.

Strange goings on at Dunston. Chairman, vice chairman and treasurer resign last week after many years of service, then this happens at their match tonight..strange goings on..

Has anyone noticed that some ticket prices do not match the actual ticket cost on the website? Bought a City ticket for the north stand upper, price quoted was £50 but cost £37.50 at checkout and same for the Forest match, quoted £45, cost £30. Cowick --are you of a certain age because the prices y...

You ideally need to be quick, as they seem to be going pretty fast for all the games. Thanks Leisure. I purchased tickets for 7 games on 4 July because these were the only ones when my friend and I were free to come down. It was well worth us sharing the £35 membership because it enabled us to get ...

Took advantage of the fact that tickets were available for all home games and managed to get tickets for myself and my friend for a couple of games we wanted to see. Just trying to work out other dates at present.

A player playing his 92nd test match goes walkabout and is run out. Fair dismissal and all within the Laws of the game.
This is Test Cricket and the Aussies are proving better at it than us and remain switched on to all possibilities.

Ashingtonclaret46

Aussies already one up in the series and holders of The Ashes so they do not even have to bother about winning another game. They can just concentrate on not losing and when you have been put in to bat the objective will be to bat your opponents into oblivion. The two sessions so far have shown that...

Good article Tony. Les was a good player who you could always rely on to give his all for the team.
I thought that he really excelled when he moved to left half around 1953/54 time. I was young but always enjoyed watching Les play and he was also one of my dad's favourite players.

What a good win that was after being put in to bat.
OUr bowling this morning was really good once again and they just followed on from yeaterday.
I am so pleased to have been proved wrong in my post at the end of the second day.

Another smashing day's cricket. I really thought that, when Burns pulled off the catch to dismiss Mitchell early this morning, we would really struggle. Credit to the team for digging in and doubling the score after that wicket fell. Great to watch Bailey bowling this evening and here's hoping that ...

To be honest, Surrey also threw away a number of wickets with bad shots when their players seemed set and this is why we had them at 230 for 9. Our bowling had not been brilliant but we picked up wickets, however, just what we were doing when the last pair were at the wicket is open to conjecture. W...

UNbelievable match and carrying on the good cricket to watch this week. WOW!

Lovely to remember Willie's exploits for the Clarets. When I joined the RAF in 1966 as a musician I met two fellow musicians from Carrickfergus who had been Willie's next door neighbours. They then introduced me to their sister, who was married to another musician, and who remembered Willie very wel...

Woah, a whole 22 VAR appointments and 6 PL games for the VAR and 5 games for the ref where VAR was used backs my point up entirely so thanks very much, it is another complete PGMOL failure - why did the Championship have Michael Oliver and not Tim Robinson (or whoever who has 225+ games) ? Was the ...

give over, one gets the ball the other doesn't. It's a penalty and that gets overturned in the PL by officials that use the technology every week. Why they put a group of officials in charge with very little (if any?) experience of using VAR made the choice to use VAR an embarrassing one (and also ...

Every tackle is two players going for the ball, the one who misses the ball and kicks the man gives a foul away, that is the same all over the pitch. If a defender clears the ball on the edge of the box and the forward is fractionally late a free kick is awarded, I just don't see what is being disc...

Give a penalty for incidents like this and we get even closer to the desired day when every bit of physical contact will be punished one way or another. Go and watch a number of Academy games with younger referees learning their trade and we get even closer to contact being taken out of the game. Th...

Just two players kicking each other by accident. Not a penalty, play on. Sending off was a bit harsh. I agree with you Notts, however, the way the modern game is going who really knows any more. Anyway, there is a fair chance that Tim Robinson could be promoted to SG1 so our fans had better get use...

Before tonight, Lampard has managed 18 games in the PL this season and won just 3, the last one being 3-0 against Crystal Palace on 22 October 2022.
He has lost 12 games.

Thanks Tony, that summed up my night too. Another stat which I do like is the fact that they have not scored in 516 minutes of football since Jordan Rhodes scored against us in the 24th minute in March 2014 at Ewood. Jason Shackell and Danny Ings did the honours for us in the second half to give us ...

Ashingtonclaret46

This wasn't the scenario though, the ball was some distance from the penalty area, in the possession of a Burnley player, so in fact this demonstrates he was completely wrong. I also see no mention of the referee being permitted to shove players out of the way at his discretion. Do you know the exa...

Just out of interest, why does he miss the League Cup Final. I thought when Cork had his ban it was only for league games and not cup games because bans were competition specific.

I am still trying to work out if the law has changed over how far away a player should stand at a free kick. Every one we had away from their box they were about 2 yards away. Just watch every game you can from PL downwards and nobody ever retreats the 10 yards and the officials do nothing about it...

Pause it between 7/8 seconds and you'll see the full back is deeper than Jay Rod, onside imho. Onside as far as the onfield officials are concerned and that is what matters.
