I want to thank all the wonderful staff at Royal Preston Hospital, especially Beth and others in the critical care unit

My amazing mum was given the most wonderful care in her final days and she passed without pain or fear

Thank you @CritcareLTHTR #Preston

I love you, mum ❤️

⚪️ "Identifying our resources is a big thing, and then making sound decisions beneath that is our best way of doing it. I feel if we just have to rebuild again this summer, we've not moved the needle forward."

@MahonCraig Congratulations, Craig. Every credit to you and the team.

[Adam Cottier @Adam_Cottier]

It was an honour to put this together. That @ASFCofficial team was incredible and it's hard to believe it's been 20 years. Thanks to JC and everyone who took time to reflect. There are a few important people from that time no longer with us and I'll remember them today. #asfc

Rest well, Keith 💙

⚽ (Reporter) "Can I just clarify what you mean by 'young'? You've got the fourth oldest squad in the league, so does young mean inexperienced... in the Premier League?"

🟠 "I know [the fans] are frustrated, and some are angry with me, but there isn't anyone that's working as hard as me to try & put this right. I'm the head coach but also a fan of this club & I'm hurting just as much as they are."

#Blackpool boss Ian Evatt

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

🟠 "[Steve Thompson] is part of the DNA of this football club. Someone who just brings so much energy and positive energy. We all need a bit of reassurance, and Thommo will bring that in abundance."

#Blackpool head coach Ian Evatt

#utmp | #bbcfootball

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

⚪ "Just want to bring energy and goals where I can. Most important is that energy and aggression. Every time I come onto the pitch, it's just [about] leaving everything out there for the team. That's a given for my game."

#Preston North End's Callum Lang

🔵 ⚪ "The season is not how we want... There's a lot of time, there are plenty of games, and we are in a transition period, and it will be a transition season."

#Blackburn #Rovers head coach Valerien Ismael

#bbcfootball

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

⚪ "I'm of the opinion the only way I can deal with it correctly is to be removed from the officials & stay out of the way until you've had that moment."

Paul Heckingbottom was frustrated with the officials during #Preston North End's defeat by Birmingham

#pnefc | #bbcfootball

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

🔴 "[From my time in grassroots football], they're all my best mates. I'm still around it and still going to watch them. It's great."

#Fleetwood Town's Kayden Hughes will never forget his time at Bispham Juniors

#ftfc | #bbcfootball

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

⚪ "They shouldn't be able to allow [match officials] to have that much influence on a game of football. Anyone who watches us knows we are refereed to a different standard than anyone else."

#Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom

#pnefc | #bbcfootball

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

🔵 ⚪ "[Reporter] Are you worried that Rovers are at risk of a relegation battle?"

"I don't think that at the minute. We don't need to worry about anything. I think the performances are right and we compete well."

#Blackburn #Rovers head coach Valerien Ismael

#bbcfootball

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

🔵 ⚪ "I have to be careful with my reaction... The only thing I want to say is it's a disgraceful decision. It's bad publicity for English football."

#Blackburn boss Valerien Ismael is angered #Rovers will have to replay their abandoned fixture against #Ipswich

#bbcfootball

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

🟠 "The owner's been nothing but supportive in what I've tried to put into place. He's certainly put his hand in his pocket to give us the squad of players."

#Blackpool head coach Steve Bruce
