Reheating yesterday’s left-overs

Earlier this week I reported upon Sunday’s Quins away game at Leicester Tigers (a 19-22 loss), which I watched ‘live’ on BT Sport, and therefore must half-apologise to Rust readers for returning to the subject and indeed sundry other matters. I do so as a result of reading Monday’s quality [...]

Fiorentina file

Fiorentina have now lost 3 successive games in a row, two against top serie a sides, Napoli and Roma, one against the weakest side in their Europa League group, Lech Posnan. Whilst this is cause for concern, it’s hardly a crisis as we stand  third in the league. It is difficult to see why we [...]

A visit to the Tigers’ den

The record will show that yesterday that Quins lost 19-22 to Leicester Tigers at Welford Road, gaining a losing bonus point and as a result now sitting at 6th in the Premiership league table. There’s a theory abroad that – broadly speaking – winning your home games and picking up the odd [...]

Rosie and Smylie

It was a good weekend for Justin Rose who won the UBS Hong Kong Open and Smylie Kaufman who took the Shriners US PGA. It was a good weekend for me as I backed Rose, Matthew Fitzpatrick who finished 3rd and Yang who finished in the top ten, plus Jason Bohn in the top 5 in the Shriners and the 0-0 [...]

The Tanner Report / Fulham 4 Reading 2

When Orlando Sa, once of the Fulham parish, rolled in a second Reading goal after Tom Cairney was dispossessed and Tim Ream made no sort of challenge I would have liked to be a clairvoyant  to read Kit Symons’ mind. He must  surely have thought that time was up not just on his Fulham [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Leeds 1

Perhaps the best and certainly most stirring aspect of a scrappy match was the support for Leeds. Bearing in mind this once great club that dominated English football under Don Revie now languish in the second tier and this was a Wednesday night there must have been at least 2000 Leeds fans [...]

Brighton 2 Bristol City 1

The Albion made hard work of beating City but did so to stay 4 points clear. We have won all our games by only a one goal margin but it’s a massive improvement from  last season. Praise is due to Chris Hughton for the players he got in and an effective style of play which may not appeal to [...]

Par for the course?

One thing that has always staggered me about the world of sport is the seemingly unerring ability of its governing bodies to be incompetent and/or naïve in how they go about things. Examples that immediately spring to my mind are the FA, FIFA, UEFA, the IOC, the IAAF, the ICA (professional [...]

The coach potato speaks

Yesterday I was on the couch to watch both rugby quarter finals, the Portuguese  Open won by Andy Sullivan at a canter and Fiorentina lose to Napoli. Like many on the Rust, and not just the rugby section, I’m totally enthralled by the World Cup and watched every quarter final with some [...]

And now for the main course …

Over the weekend the only match in the Rugby World Cup I saw ‘live’ in its entirety on television was Saturday night’s All Blacks’ quarter-final demotion job on France. However there is no doubt that this has been a wonderful tournament – the best RWC ever – and, by all accounts [...]
