The Tanner Report : Middlesbrough 0 Fulham 0

The noose supposedly round Kit Symons’ neck would have loosened after this goalless draw at The Riverside against high flying Middlesbrough. There has been talk of an assessment by the analytical boys after 12 matches and if such a review shows statistically on previous season’s [...]

Phew! We get off to a winning start …

And so to the Stoop for Harlequins’ first match of the 2015/2016 Aviva Premiership season, against Wasps. In days gone by this would have been one of the keenest London derby matches but – with London Irish down in Reading, Saracens now at Allianz Park and ‘London Wasps’ having moved from [...]

A visit to the chess club

Last night I made a rare visit to the local chess club to where I have moved. Almost all chess I play is on the internet for reasons of practicality and anonymity. Sometimes I miss the game played over the board where one sees one’s oppoent so I presented myself at a house in an affluent [...]

Probably not the answer

I recently promised Rusters that I would do my best to hold my tongue on Rugby World Cup issues, and most particularly the fall-out consequent upon England’s early departure from the tournament, and therefore today feel it necessary to begin with an apology and explanation as to why I am breaking [...]

The one club man is increasingly a rarity in football but in [...]

He admitted that journalists had been lazy in their research as Scolari’s record in club football was [...]

The golfing weekend

It proved an enthralling weekend with a new young British champion at a British event and a palpitating contest in the Presidents Cup,  Matthew Fitzpatrick aged 21.

Brighton sport update

Last week we received a memory stick from the Albion with the information on renewal of the 1901 Club. My granddaughter Chloe had to explain to me how to use it. I had spent much of last season trying to convince my neighbour that we would better off in more standard seats. The Seagulls were having [...]

A bigger problem

I do not have the knowledge of Derek and Sandra on rugby. I’m looking at our demise in the Rugby World Cup from the point of view of continued failure in other World Cup in football and cricket as well as rugby. I am avoiding  a common adjective of “under-achieving” as I no [...]
