A bit of a Bermudan triangle

Day Two of the America’s Cup round robin stage taking place in Bermuda’s Great Sounds made for fascinating but variable viewing yesterday on BT Sport. Sailing – historically more a sport for participants than spectators because of its technicalities and the fact that of necessity the action [...]

The Cup Final

I have written before as have many sportswriters on the sad decline of the FA Cup. Continental footballers grace our game but they do not “get” the cachet of the FA Cup as their major Cup competition domestically does not have similar prestige; there is now so much live football; the [...]

Wind-blown challenge off course?

Last night, after what at the time felt a street-wise decision to beat the Bank Holiday get-away by departing at 2.15pm – events proved this a foolhardy option as said exodus had clearly begun about five hours previously – we eventually arrived at the coast to spend the weekend with my [...]

Back to the tee

As the PGA tournament began at Wentworth yesterday two other golfers continued their attempts to return to the fray. Whilst Tiger Woods wisely announced his intention to take his time following his latest back surgery, in scorchingly hot conditions I took another step on the road back to the top [...]

Another prodigy who fell in WW1

The golfing weekend.

Both European and US PGA events were determined by play offs. Alvaro Quiros whose recent form was so bad he nearly lost his card squandered a 7 shot lead largely through nerves to Zander Lombard but beat the South African in a play off.

The Premier and Championship

Sky will not get the rousing finale of the season going from ground to ground with breathless coverage but rather a damp squib. The only issue to resolve is fourth place and surely Liverpool can get 3 points at home to Middlesbrough to achieve that . Not that the season is without interest . We [...]

The Tanner Report: Reading 1 Fulham 0

So the Fulham dismal play off record continues with no wins in 6 matches, we have never scored more than one goal in any game and bowed out for the third time before the final.

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Reading 1

Two factors prevented Fulham from winning this play off tie: the tenacity of Reading, though their tactics were often spoiling, and the poor refereeing of Stuart Attwell. Having been thrashed 5-0 at Fulham in the league and losing 6 games by margins of 3 or more, Reading’s tactics were clear [...]
