An Evening at the Komedia for Bob Booker and Mark McGhee

I have learned from Daffers that if you get off to a bad start at any event it’s hard to recover and this is what happened at the Komedia Brighton last night where the Albion Roar – a media duet of Brighton HAFC football fans – were hosting the former managerial team Mark McGhee [...]

Picking your way through a minefield

For those Rusters who are either mad about watching sport on television and/or are miffed by the fact that – on the face of it – they may seem always to be paying through the nose for the privilege of watching say 25 TV channels maximum via the broadcasting organisations deliberately [...]

Dragging oneself to the start-line …

As my regular followers will know, I am now freed from the tyranny of season ticket holding and any obligation to actually roll up at the Stoop to watch the boys playing rugby – and what a relief that has been! Furthermore – and this would have applied anyway – in no way have I been [...]

Facing up to it

The other day I was having a conversation with a colleague when the subject of mental health among sportsmen and women came up. As our chat developed, we agreed that somehow – for whatever reason(s) – this seemed to be an issue that appeared to afflict players of cricket at least as [...]
