Lancs miss out in the truncated T20 Blast finals today. We lost in the semis to Notts and after a good start, we lost our way towards the end of the 11 over a side game. No boundaries in the last 17 balls meant we ended on 94-4. Notts were a little off the pace thanks to some tight bowling by Parky, 2-12, until Dan Christian came in and knocked four 6’s in a row to give them a 5 wicket win. Notts then went on to beat Surrey in the 16 over a side final by 6 wickets.

Normal service is resumed.

Ours is the only 0-0 game in the Championship. Goal glut seems to be over.

I’m sure the young lad sat on the wall next to the Arsenal mascot is “Sir” Bill Eckersley’s son , also called Billy.

The 5-4 Palace match was the 1st game I took my son to. What an introduction to life as a Rovers supporter. We sat up in the Nuttall St Stand as he was only 8 years old so he could have a good view of the action. He was on a high for the rest of the weekend and for once couldn’t wait to go to school on the Monday morning. We lived in Egerton at the time, so all his mates supported Notlob. Unfortunately, you don’t win 5-4 every week, but his love for Rovers has never wavered in over 30 years.

Eric Burdon And The Animals - Good Times

Brilliant win for Lancs. Did well to get 140-8 after a poor start. The bowlers really came through, especially Livingstone 4-23 and Parky 3-9. We’ve got as good a chance as anyone in the Finals this Saturday, although the weather looks likely to put an end to much, if any action. I assume they have got a reserve day on Sunday. Let’s hope we can do it.

I can’t believe this about K*an. My son, who lives in Melbourne and supports Victory will be absolutely livid if it happens. I’ve just taken my Victory shirt out of the wardrobe in readiness for a ceremonial burning. Tosser.
