The Tanner Report: Fulham 3 Derby 0

Fulham coasted to victory over Derby who did not manage one shot on target. It was too easy a win to make for a captivating game unlike the derby against QPR last Friday. I went with an old school friend who is the son of TV and film character actor Sam Kydd. His father made nearly 300 films in the [...]

On the tee with Pargie

For the fourth time out of five thanks to Jeremy Chapman I nabbed a winner in John Rahm. Ram trousered $5 million as he won the Race to Dubai as well as the DP event on the Jumeireh course. Comparisons were inevitably made to Seve Ballesteros and Rahm knew his Spanish golfers, even citing Seve’s [...]

BRIGHTON 0 LEICESTER CITY 2

I’m not a great one for stats but there is one that says it all about this match – Brighton did not manage one shot on goal. For the first half the Seagulls held out redoubtedly in a performance that was more Chris Hughton than Graham Potter. Just as we were applying more pressure at the [...]

The Tanner Report; Fulham 2 QPR 1

The prodigal son returns. Last season Abou Kamara disrupted a yoga class, held the ball for a penalty from the clutches of regular taker Alex Mitrovic and missed it and, after a bust up with staff at the training ground, he was arrested and shipped out on loan to a Turkish club. Most of us thought [...]

Against all odds

Self-indulgent it may be, but today I return to the travails of seeking to retain peak fitness in one’s seventh decade – ready at a moment’s notice, should the need arise, to take the field for either England in a major international and/or Team GB in the 2020 Olympics at any sport in which a [...]

Tough times when you want to know what’s what …

These days it’s perhaps simultaneously both healthy and damned disappointing that in the 21st Century the safest approach for the average member of the public is to reach for a large pinch of salt when analysing everything they see or hear. Whether it’s anything that US President Trump manages [...]

On the tee with Pargie

One of my favourite tourneys on the “European” circuit is the Nedbank on the Gary Player-designed course in Sun City, South Africa. I have been to Sun City and played that course. It’s a wonderful resort designed by Sol Kerzner, particularly for the golfer. One attraction of the course is [...]

Going through the motions

Some older readers may remember my former life wherefrom I reported for the Rust upon matters pertaining to Harlequins FC, the Premiership rugby union club from a personal viewpoint as an unabashed and devoted – not to say one-eyed – fan and supporter. About three seasons ago all that [...]

Heaven can wait

My subject today is one of sport’s current cause célèbres – the use of video technology to ‘improve’ the quality of refereeing and umpiring decisions. Even that statement raises an issue. Simply because it involves judgements and decisions made by one or more human beings, the skill of [...]

Livepool 3 Manchester City 1/media coverage

Since the coverage of this game will be at saturation point in the press I am confining my post to the media. I joined the game late as I had a lunch in the country. Martin Tyler on SKY is reliable pair of hands but has never come up with a phrase to rival Ken Wolstenholme’s “They think its all [...]
