Who knows best

When I started to write for the Rust I was attracted by the fact that supporters as much as sportswriters contributed. Over the years I have found and used a cadre of loyal fans who know as much if not more than those that have played the game. After the Brighton victory I had a long chat with [...]

Brighton 4 QPR 0

Brighton’s season can be divided into 3 distinct seasons. We began with a long unbeaten run but won every game by the odd goal; we went through a bad run of nine games without a win which coincided with numerous injuries; a final spell in which we are scoring freely. Brighton have now scored [...]

The Golfing Weekend

There were two surprise winners over the weekend, Andrew Johnston, his maiden win on the Spanish Open and Branden Grace in the USPGA at Hilton Head. The other surprising element of the Spanish Open was that the winner carded an over the par total, the first time this has happened since Justin Rose [...]

Going to the dogs

No I’m not talking about Fulham’s season but Robert Tickler’s dog, who won four on the trot before he acquired him, has yet to win for his new master. Last night at Hove he finished third. When I met Ted Dexter in Nice I asked him about greyhounds of which he owned several  and [...]

At least that’s over and nobody died

Aviva Premiership Round 20: Saracens v Harlequins at Wembley Stadium; result Saracens 22 (4 league points) Harlequins 12 (0 league points). Almost certain outcome: Saracens to secure a home draw in the Premiership play-offs; Quins now unable to reach them. One day I would like to make a visit to [...]

The Tanner Report: Brighton 5 Fulham 0

This is always a difficult game for more ways than one. I watch it as Ivan’s guest which means I have to endure the barbs of Fulham fans walking in the opposite direction to the away end and suffer the critique of Seagulls fans who thought little of our performance. Interestingly enough [...]

Bilan

Michel di Vacri Bilan is a financial word and I guess the best translation would be “reckoning up” or “taking the account” so with Robert Tickler and his entourage leaving Friday I would say the bilan of the stay has been very positive. Yesterday I walked through the flower [...]

The Masters

Normally when I post on the golfing weekend I’m pretty confident that any error on the US PGA or European tour will not be noticed as there is not that much coverage. However with Danny Willett adorning the green jacket, the first Briton for 20 years so to do, it’s front page news. This [...]

Nice 3 Rennes 0

It was very kind of Michel di Vacri to organise a trip to the Allianz Riviera stadium to see the key clash between Nice lying sixth and Rennes fourth but only one point spearmint them. The third Champions League place is up for grabs with Olympique Lyon second and Monaco currently third also in the [...]

A fun reunion but no thanks to this

9th April 2016 – European Challenge Cup Quarter Final – Harlequins v London Irish at the Stoop. Result: Harlequins 38 London Irish 30. This was a hard-fought, at times entertaining, but ultimately wholly unsatisfying contest that left this Quins fan still sipping from his ‘glass half [...]
