The Tanner Report/ QPR 1 Fulham 1

There are three good reasons why Fulham may fail to make the play-offs: 1) we cannot translate possession and supremacy into goals; 2) we make silly defensive errors virtually every game 3) our keeper is not good enough. QPR boss Ian Holloway set out his stall (commentary cliche c. 1998) to [...]

Brighton 2 Sheffield Wednesday 1

This may well be remembered as the the most memorable game so far at the Amex. After a tepid first half when ended on equal terms, we saw a saved penalty, 3 red cards and a stirring fight back from the Seagulls which was consummated by the PA system playing the theme of The Great Escape after the [...]

Pargie’s Sporting Weekend

I was let down in the golf where my two punts Rory Mcilroy and Jordan Spieth finished runners up and third respectively  in the BMW European event in Johannesburg and the Sony USPGA at Hawaii. The former was won by Graeme Storm who very nearly lost his European tour card. He was 100 euros light [...]

Fiorentina 2 Juventus 1

Juve defender Banucci surely made an error in saying this was only another match for his team. For la Viola it is the game of the season, an opportunity to set right the penalty awarded and scored by Liam Brady at Catanzaro and the one denied to us at Cagliari that presented the 1981 scudetto to [...]

The Tanner Report- Fulham 2 Barnsley O

Inevitably the prodigal son Chris Martin was the headline maker. Before the match over lunch there was discussion as to whether he should play. After all said Nick had he played against Brighton we would have had at least a point, what sort of message does it send to his more loyal teammates? I [...]

The Tanner Report ; Cardiff 1 Fulham 2

Up and down the country crowds emphatically did not turn up for the Cup. At Cardiff the crowd was just over 5100. It was on Welsh TV at the unearthly hour of 11-30 on a Sunday which would not have helped as Cardiff fans could watch it on the telly and it was tough for Fulham fans to make it at all. [...]

What they did next (continued)

Back in the day – that’s my day, not anyone’s born after 1975 – one didn’t give much thought to what footballers did with their lives after they retired from the game. I suppose in my mind’s eye I imagined that things didn’t change much for those in the era before mine (think Tom [...]
