Article in today's guardian about Damian taking over as manager of Shelbourne

Brentford bottom of the form table and falling like a stone play Newcastle on Saturday if they loose that they are right in it.

Have to say I'm a perfect example of why this bundle doesn't work for me. No interest in a 1230 kiçk off against QPR to accommodate sky añd no interest in going in the darwen end sparsely populated we have tickets for the 3pm kick off with Millwall

If we are playing three at the back would prefer to see Van Hecke as the central centre half seems to struggle when playing either side..

Thats a good shout. There may be one or two others from that 2016/17 under 18's group

Went to watch Bamber Bridge yesterday against Stafford Rangers and came across Tre Pemberton playing no7 for Stafford he had a lively game and scored. Surprised to see on looking back it is 4 and 1/2 years since he left for Stoke looking at his cohorts at that time there are four who are playing at league level Wharton JRC with us Andy Fisher now at Swansea and Platt with Barrow.

County championshipfixtures announced slight increase in june/July games. Lancsfirst home match April 21st against Gloucester Shire.

Has he reverted to type with square pegs in round holes?

This drubbing is far worse than the previous two drubbing . There was a stat that England runs per wicket on an ashes tour was the lowest since the 1890,s. A complete rethink is required with the stopping of the marginalisation of county championship cricket with more games in the height of the summer .

Once these players get central contracts they are hardly playing any county championship cricket.

Exactly my thoughts. Couldn't wait to get on the plane home. No thought of defiance for Australia to earn the wicket. Basically played like the last two overs of a t20. Desperate stuff.

Are you paying 100000 k per week that's what Mitrovic is rumoured to be on?

The natural order has been restored that we have a player Burnley can't afford.

Was referring to the east lancs rumours rather than your question on BBD value longsiders known you long enough on here.

They are living in Dreamland if they think BBD is going to sign!

I think the next three weeks will demonstrate the future prospects for our neighbours. This 25 million could very well disappear into the owners pockets which will be a clear sign of their future intentions. If they re invest this into the squad then the support will have more cause for optimism.

Did you sample the Oakham Ales Mr Hyde @6.5% cracking stuff. Think Pears had a keg full.

I was approached yesterday by two woman half way through the first half who asked if they could stand with me because it was very unpleasant where their seats were located. Needless to say I agreed😀

Think yesterday just demonstrated how important Lenihan is to our defence which totally protected Pears in the first half. For me Pears needs to go out on loan for match day experience so he can make these mistakes elsewhere and learn not at our cost.

Forecast was drier from around noon. Just as well it is at Wigan rather than ewood which will be a swimming pool this morning

We had enough of the forfeit of the fixture bull 10 years ago and look where that got us.

That's 30 million pounds as near as makes no difference the rumoured minimum amount.

Sorry can't agree with this if played in a central position will score 15-20 a season

Not seen hero worship like this since Shearer.

Thanks chaddy will try to buy one when down at ewood tomorrow
