The Tanner Report : Fulham 0 Bristol City 2

After this home defeat Stefan Jokatovic might well be following stats guru Craig Kline out of the club. I remember seeing this same type of performance – or lack of it- at the last home game of Mickey Adams’ reign when he was replaced by Ray Wilkins and Kevin Keegan.  Although  Ryan [...]

Time to strap yourselves in, folks!

Okay, so these are pretty weird times in both British and world politics – so let’s review where we’ve got to, shall we? BREXIT IS A COMPLETE DISASTER Whether we blame that pompous Eton-educated Tory posh boy David Cameron for promising the UK electorate an In-Out EU Referendum – either [...]

Get over it!

I must apologise today for returning to the vexed subject of Brexit. There are of course new reasons – and indeed reports or comments upon on old reasons – for doing so almost on a daily (or even more frequent) basis. However, I do get irritated by the small but significant number of [...]

No apologies as today I revisit two of the Rust’s favourite vexed sporting subjects, corruption and performance-enhancing drugs. THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT Today the UK media’s ‘back pages’ – okay, European football apart – are full of reports about the IOC ceremony celebrating the award of [...]

And so it comes to this (again)

Even though politics rarely makes it to the top of the agenda, sometimes I feel that the lads who frequent the corner table beside the fireplace in the saloon bar of my local pub accurately represent the views of Mr Joe Public, the average Brit elector.
