Rennes 2 NIce 2

Michel de Vacri Nice are now in 3rd place in Ligue Un and it looks like the title race will be fought out between Monaco and PSG. Not that we fans are bitter or disappointed as our President said we would be happy to stay in the race as long as possible and to play in a European competition. We [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 3 Wigan 2

Calamitous defensive lapses nearly cost Fulham three points against Wigan and almost certainly if these persist a play-off position. There were three such lapses one of which resulted in the Wigan equaliser. However after losing games which we dominated we contrived to win one where the opposition [...]

Fiorentina File: Roma 4 Fiorentina 0

As Roma have won all 10 home games this season and we never seem to play well at the Olimpico be it Lazio or Roma I was not at all confident of a result. I was correct. Fiorentina played 3 at the back, one of whom was a midfield holding player Sanchez acquired from Aston Villa who was totally out [...]

American Sport

Like many a Ruster I was fast asleep by the time the Super Bowl began. I heard that the 51st Super Bowl was the greatest ever and the first to be determined in over time so I followed late in the afternoon yesterday the highlights of the fourth quarter when the New England Patriots mounted a [...]

Pargie’s sporting weekend

When I first started following golf it was America that dominated with Arnie Palmer and Jack Nicklaus followed by another generation of major winners, Lee Trevino, Johnny Miller, Tom Weiskopf. The Southern Hemisphere provided Roberto de Vincenzo, Peter Thomson, Kel Nagle and Bob Charles but only [...]

I felt much the same yesterday as I had arranged a dinner with a young executive Melissa whom I mentor at Sussex CCC. I passed a taxi rank near to my home and one of the [...]

The Tanner Report- gilded youth

When Mohammed al Fayed appointed Alistair Mackintosh as CEO one of the latter’s main briefs was to develop the Academy. The priority reflects the nous and vision of our Chairman. At the time Academies were moving out of fashion. The modern manager tends to stay for 2 years so he is not that [...]

Pargie’s sporting Sunday

It began at 7-30 with a serendipitous moment. I switched onto Sky Sports for the coverage of the Federer/Nadal final. In long haul television I prefer to avoid the build up, too much flannel, and I can only take the Ray Winstone betting advert so many times. However the station was profiling Tom [...]

In praise of Southampton

At The Rust wwe have many contributors on football who write on their own team who support the notion that often the most insightful view comes from a supporter. I write less often on my beloved Brentford. Many national reporters have an allegiance to a club and indeed the clubs exploit this to [...]

Sussex role in T20 win

Like many a contributor on the Rust, I am a traditionalist and when it comes to cricket I much prefer the red ball game. However it is not every day – indeed not any day- that two Sussex bowlers have opened for their country so I watched Tyman Mills and Chris Jordan yesterday do so. There is [...]
