With the current situation in the middle-east it's worth remembering that 43 years ago today Lebanon’s Parliament voted for to ratify a peace treaty with Israel that would have seen an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, coupled with the Lebanese government disarming all militias and restoring its...

A bit of a climbdown - sounds like one camera at both ends for you tube viewers. https://cricket.lancashirecricket.co.uk/news/2026-news/lancashire-cricket-to-expand-coverage-with-both-premium-and-free-for-all-options/

That's Basim Sheikh Suliman for Israel and the gangster Jibril Rajoub for Palestine. Rajoub was caught with his hands in the till a couple of years ago and has his own personal militia in the Jericho area. Some see him as a future leader when Abbas goes.

Always said Lancs should have signed Emilio Gay when he left Northants. Classy player - I hope when England pick him they give him half as many chances they gave Crawley.

Exactly what I thought but they weren't in the 1970 WC squad.

No Ray Wilson, he wasn't in the squad. It's Bally, Banks, two old codgers, Mullery, Bonetti, Labby, and two I don't recognise.

Not sure how much they've thought this through. Away games will be streamed on the home team's feed, which Lancs followers will be able to watch for free, but the followers of those other teams will presumably have to pay to watch the reverse fixture at Lancs. An unofficial survey of the...

Agree but need to be careful with him as he's had a lot of injuries, though not quite as many as Paul Coughlin who could prove to be a very shrewd signing if he can stay fit.

Another great advert for the County Championship. Long may it continue.

Henry went on to win a League Championship medal after leaving us for Derby - 74/5 when we blew it. I remember he said he got a bit of a cold reception from the players when he arrived at Goodison - later became a good friend of HK. In those days you didn't spend a club record fee on someone...

As bad as they are they'll never match our favourite ref - remember this:

I'll just whisper this... it was the only home game I missed all season! Bally scored his last goal for us in that game as well - sold a few weeks later :(

That was November - Joe didn't score again until the final game of the season!
