The Tanner Report : West Ham 0 Fulham 2

Fulham achieved their first double of the season – and third away win – at the London Stadium on Sunday. The victory removed all doubts that the team was coasting and thinking more about forthcoming holidays than points. It must nonetheless be inevitable that any team in mid-table like [...]

Will the real Quins show up?

Recently Bordeaux Bègles put 100 points past Saracens in the Investec European Challenge Cup, whilst Sarries put 51 points past Quins;  so what chances if any did Quins have at the Chanan Delmas stadium in Bordeaux yesterday? As it happened, quite a lot – as in a thriller – they ran [...]

Masters’ Thoughts

We have now reached cut off day and Major winners Dustin Johnson, Brian Harman, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Wyndham Clark did not make the cut. It was a day of high winds which conditions did not lend themselves to accuracy the most necessary component to master the Masters. The smart money [...]

Bye bye Volvo, Hallo 7 Bus …

Some five years ago I made the momentous decision to give up driving. The precise moment came when I happened to take the lower Roedean road between Rottingdean and Brighton. I saw a group of kids by the roadside. Fortunately I am not a fast driver as one of the group dashed across the road in [...]

First round of the Championship round-up

Sussex supporters are entitled to feel aggrieved that they only drew with Northamptonshire. Had the start been at 10-30am – and floodlights been switched on – neither of which happened, they might have beaten Northants who were 173-9 at close of play and only 64 runs needed for victory. [...]

A day at Hove County ground (Sussex v Northants 3rd Day)

I got a lift back from the Amex yesterday from Jon Filby the Chairman of Sussex CCC and left my glasses in his car. He retrieved them and invited me to lunch yesterday in the boardroom to collect them. There were two problems: the first was I was tired and fancied a refuel at home; and, secondly, [...]

St. Paul’s Old Boys and Oskar Schindler

In the week I watched on PBS Oskar Schindler/The Real Story and noticed that its writer, director and producer was Jon Blair. The self same Blair was at my school, St. Paul’s, and fled his native South Africa to avoid conscription. Like another South African of that era – Peter Hain – [...]
