The Tanner Report

Last night in the Capital Cup Fulham disposed of a Sheffield United team that made 10 changes from the side that played Blackpool to earn a tie against Stoke managed by our former boss Mark Hughes. It was good to see Ross MacCormack, who had looked sluggish so far, net two goals and young Moussa [...]

Yesterday we faced a rejuvenated Milan under Sinisa Mihajovic who once managed here. He has spent €90m on new players to [...]

The eagles have landed but (just) remain in touch

Having yesterday forsaken the drudgery of Britain for a week’s recuperation sampling the delights of the Tuscan/Umbrian border with my husband and three other couples, regular Rust readers may react with a variety of emotions to the news that I spent the early evening contemplating the novelty of [...]

the Tanner Report: Hull 2 Fulham 1

“Things are going to have to change and sharpish” was Kit Symons’ post match comment. He’s right and what might change first is his job. We have one point out of nine, had we closed our last two games we would have had 3 draws but once again a late goal did for us. Contrast [...]

Brighton top, Sussex sharks bottom

After Chris Hughton took over as manager he was adept at grinding out 0-0 draws and the defence stayed tight. I was therefore surpised that we came out of the [...]

Doesn’t getting it right matter?

Pardoning me for mentioning this, but isn’t it about time – now that we seem to have the video and other technology to check sporting action with a chilling degree of accuracy – that, if by chance a referee or other official in charge of proceedings on the field of play makes a [...]

Getting to the nub of it

We love a good debate or discussion here at the Rust and therefore I make no apology for returning to the subject of women and sport, as most recently observed in cricket. Last week I blogged about the solitary Test match which, together with a mix of One Day Internationals and T20 games, comprise [...]

THE PGA

Of the four Majors the least covetable, the PGA, often produces an excellent tourney. There is something over familiar about the Masters. You know the week before the same old articles will be dredged off the computer of us golf writers on the azaleas and dogwoods, the course designed by Bobby [...]

The Tanner Report on Fulham 1 Brighton 2

New season, new hopes, old problems.The chairman tells us in the programme for the first time in three years he is enjoying quiet confidence. I wish I could share  this. The cornerstone of a successful side is not always the glamourous striker but the the two central defenders who put in the hard [...]
