There does seem to be a big divergence of opinion on Buckley. I generally like what I see most of the time and on the Millwall thread there were another couple of posters who agreed with me and a couple with you. What can’t really be argued was his play in the winning goal move.

Very early in Missouri, where it’s currently just after 8am. Or maybe it’s still from last night?

Apart from Wednesday when he came on and played excellently including having a hand in creating the winning goal?

Yes - Preston were above us when we played them, although not after! I had a quick look at a Brentford message board and they are no more confident than our fans - many would be happy with a draw.

If an offer comes in that we can’t refuse we won’t. It’s as simple as that. I hope he doesn’t go either but every club has a price for every player, except at the very top, one or two clubs.

Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool are separate unitary authorities and therefore administratively outside Lancashire and do all local authority services themselves. Other boroughs in Lancashire operate some services whilst others are delivered at county level. Given that both are surrounded by other parts of Lancashire, I don't think it it really makes any difference regarding the pandemic and how the tiers are being calculated.

There seems to have been a bit of controversy in that win Riversider. India made a concussion substitution at the interval replacing Ravindra Jadeja with spinner Yuzvendra Chalal. Jadeja had been hit on the head batting but carries on to make 44 from 23 balls. Then Chalal bowled and took 3-25. You might assume that if concussion was an issue that he should have left the field straightaway.

I've only seen him in about half of the under 23s game against Brighton. I wasn't terribly impressed but I can't put too much weight on that, especially as playing against 10 men in the second half he had no defending to do.

This should all probably be on the Coronavirus thread rather than here but you need to remember that the tier classification is about the situation in local hospitals and the infection rate in over 60s as well as the overall infection rate. I guess that places like Ribble Valley, whilst having low rates, have an older population and are also dependent on the hospitals in Preston, Blackburn and Burnley.

I agree that the club do not want to sell anyone but there will be a price at which they will sell Armstrong. Whether that will happen will depend on the desperation of Premier league clubs.

I think the very fact that there has been so much push back against the likes of Kent and Lancashire being moved en masse into Tier 3 means that there will be some break up at the next review. With regard to Lancashire I think it's quite likely that Lancaster City Council will go to Tier 2 - it has lower rates than its neighbouring boroughs in Cumbria and North Yorkshire who are in Tier 2.

There will be a price at which Rovers will sell in January. I don't know what that is and it will need to be significant but I think they will sell if they get the right offer.

I too think that it's extremely unlikely that Blackburn with Darwen will move into Tier 2 this year. Parts of Lancashire might but not Blackburn. The club will put appropriate ticket packages on sale as soon as they can see that they can accommodate more than 2,000 fans in the ground. Whether that is half season tickets or some other package will depend on when that extra freedom happens. I can't at this stage there being anyone wanting to buy a season ticket as a Christmas present with no idea of what that ticket will get you.

Fair enough if that’s what you like. But it’s rather like buying wine. Even at Aldi you can spend £3.99 or £20+ a bottle. Both sell and presumably the customers are happy.

As K-hod says whilst they might not be for everyone the prices are pretty normal for craft beer cans. I just looked at Beer Brothers prices - they are a well-known and respected craft brewer on Walton Summit and their cans are between £2.60 and £3.20 each. Rivington Brewing have bigger cans at £6 each.

You're right that the Luton game coverage was awful, although that was obviously just a really bad cameraman and the very low camera position. Sometimes the replays do overrun into play although I thought that was a bit better last night. A couple of times I was wanting to get back to the action only to find that a throw-in or free kick still hadn't been taken.

Not me, it's been pretty much fine since the start of the season. The home commentary wasn't there for the first few minutes but it gave me a chance to listen to the Millwall commentary for a bit. I'm watching on my iMac right next to the WiFi router - I know the WiFi is less good elsewhere in the house. Could it be your WiFi rather than iFollow?

Bewildering.

I did too. Although he did give the ball away once when trying to plat a through ball on the half way line, his tackle set up the second goal.

Well there was the time for the goal celebration and three substitutes, one of whom (Armstrong), took an age to get off. Seemed about right to me.

Home commentary now on.

Surely Rothwell is being rested rather than dropped isn't he? Just like Elliott was at Preston.

There are a couple of more reasonable threads on there about tonight's game. I particularly liked this post about their predicted team: - I have it on good authority GK Park Bus DEF Park Bus DEF Park Bus DEF Park Bus CM Pass Sideways CM Pass Sideways RWB Run up and down a bit LWB As above RF invisible man 1 LF invisible man 2 CF why am i bothering Subs all irrelevant

If you have a Sky Sports subscription you can watch red button games. If you're really bored you could even watch the first half of Boro v Swansea before as that kicks off at 7pm.

More than sound, it's the best in the division - 5 wins and a draw out of 8 games. They would be in the relegation zone with their home form.
