Brighton 1 Ipswich 1

Few Seagull fans would deny that a draw was a fair reflection of the play. Ipswich took an early lead when skipper Luke Chambers bravely got his head to a trickily flighted free kick from Tom Lawrence whose crosses from the right perpetually caused problems.

Pargie’s sporting weekend

Alan Tanner invited me to Fulham v Wigan on Saturday. Bob Tickler’s godson Jamie now goes regularly with him. He (Jamie) advised that I should back Scott Malone to score any time as he always scores for Jamie. He duly did so but in his own net and had to explain why this does not count. I [...]

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 [...]
