The golfing weekend.

Both European and US PGA events were determined by play offs. Alvaro Quiros whose recent form was so bad he nearly lost his card squandered a 7 shot lead largely through nerves to Zander Lombard but beat the South African in a play off. Over at Texas, the Byron Nelson played out on the Four Seasons [...]

Fiorentina file: Napoli 4 Fiorentina 1

Fiorentina’s last chance of qualifying for the Europa League disappeared last night in the San Paolo stadium when we lost 4-1 to Napoli. Napoli are one of the strongest sides in the serie a though not as powerful as when they could boast one of the best forward lines in Italy – if not [...]

The Premier and Championship

Sky will not get the rousing finale of the season going from ground to ground with breathless coverage but rather a damp squib. The only issue to resolve is fourth place and surely Liverpool can get 3 points at home to Middlesbrough to achieve that . Not that the season is without interest . We [...]

The Tanner Report: Reading 1 Fulham 0

So the Fulham dismal play off record continues with no wins in 6 matches, we have never scored more than one goal in any game and bowed out for the third time before the final. In a season when we failed to score 9 of our 13 penalties how ironic that we should lose to one, and a contentious one at [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Reading 1

Two factors prevented Fulham from winning this play off tie: the tenacity of Reading, though their tactics were often spoiling, and the poor refereeing of Stuart Attwell. Having been thrashed 5-0 at Fulham in the league and losing 6 games by margins of 3 or more, Reading’s tactics were clear [...]

Sometimes you just have to give credit

Yesterday, despite the attractions of the sunny weather on the south coast, I strapped myself in and watched the European Rugby Champions Cup Final (kick-off 5.00pm at Murrayfield) ‘live’ on BT Sport from end to end. It was won for the second year running by Saracens, this time by the margin of [...]

Southampton 0 Arsenal 2

Although Southampton is not that far from Brighton, a direct, picturesque but slow rail trip along the coast or a car journey down the A/M27, I do not get there that often. This said, I have great admiration for their football team. Over the last few years their owner has passed away, they have [...]

The mince-grinder of sporting success

The English Premiership season is drawing to its play-off stage and, appropriately perhaps, the one thing that can be said for those clubs involved [Wasps, Exeter Chiefs Saracens and Leicester Tigers] is that – over the course of the competition – there can be no dispute that the best four are [...]

The Tanner Report/A memorable day

It was a long but satisfying day travelling up to Sheffield by car with Bob Tickler’s Godson Jamie and 2 other Fulham supporters. Sheffield Wednesday fielded a team of reserves and despite taking the lead were all but overwhelmed by a stronger Fulham team who won 2-1 but failed to maximise [...]

Golfsixes

A new format was presented yesterday on the European Tour namely internationally paired four balls played over 6 holes over 2 days. It’s marketed as golf’s attempt at T20: quicker, more razzmatazz for the younger audience who in our compressed accelerated age has they say no time for 4 [...]
