My football life was hell I played in carnforth in the 60s and 70s we only had white players, so they picked on me for been Ginger. I am still crying going to sleep and wake up sweating. And my mum always said stickes and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you. Was that at Rangers ? when Ron Moore was playing? |

Ron Moore now 82, just received an award from High Sheriff of Lancashire for his efforts in manufacturing PPE equipment last year. Could probably still put in a good performance for Carnforth Rangers!!
Mid learned his football on the green at Nether Kellet, then on the Playing Field where a young Alan Taylor was sometimes having a kick about. But don't think Mid progressed to a Wembley FA Cup Final

I see Ashley Fletcher is being released by boro, I’d be happy with him. Big, strong, quick. Fitness an issue?

He's got ability braddy, granted, but never a prolific goal scorer. What he has always been though is completely inconsistent.

Just looked up his stats and he’s only really had 1 solid season of games in 4 years at Boro and that was last season, 46 games and 13 goals in all comps, 29 and 9 the season before. Wonder if this is fitness reasons or just not being fancied? Boro paid 6.5 million for him so he’ll be on a tidy wage.

He fits the bill but the stumbling block will be wages

Tom B into his last year on his contract, can’t imagine we could “cash in” as such, as I can’t see anyone paying more than £200k but at the same time not a player we could afford to replace IMO-but if he wants parity with DJ and Browne (both over paid) to stay is he worth it?

He offers a lot TB but like the others has been inconsistent. 1 goal in 26 I believe.

Cunningham signs contract Simple one for me. Look after him, don’t make him play 4 games in 10 days and he’ll be fine. Definitely a better LB than Hughes. Could be bad news for Earl. |

Happy enough with this, I think it may be that Rafu has to look at moving on, I think Earl and Hughes are seen as LCB’s who can fill in at LB if needed.

We can do a lot worst than Gregg. Hopefully a proper pre-season and game management will get him back to his best.

Don’t know why anyone who has a contract would move on 71, there will probably be more OoC players vying for jobs this summer than there ever has been . There looks to be 23 players under contract next season, if they don’t want to leave it doesn’t give the club much elbow room. If we signed say SVdB and maybe Lindsay that is the 25 sorted. |

Agree, Makemine. That's why I question those who think a major clearout is on the cards. e.g. Harrop will be back next season.

I tend to think if they are not getting a game and the club doesn’t want them, they will be looking to move on, obviously they won’t be taking a pay cut but playing football elsewhere has to be better in every sense.

Olly that used to be on from the finney podcast (now got a job at a Belgian club) raved about him back in Jan, him and Josh Emanuel, RB at Hull. |

Adam Phillips is a Garstang lad, daughter knows him quite well. He played for England but not sure which age group and I always hoped he would get involved with us at some point. |

The names are just guesses by Lancs online. TBH , if PNE where at the game (they probably where ) then I'd hazard a guess there looking at anyone on rhe field who's a free agent and commands 500 quid a week. |
