Sport

That’s it – enough!

This could get me into trouble, but my hatred of cyclists knows no bounds and I don’t care. Never mind that, at the set of traffic lights just fifty yards from my home, my conservative estimate is that 40% of those pedalling on two wheels completely ignore red lights and simply keep going, at [...]

An overnight sensation

It would be wrong to pretend that there are many advantages to being a lifelong early bird, but one of them is the opportunity it gives an individual to watch, live on television, era-defining events (often sporting) taking place in the United States of America which, depending upon which time zone [...]

Did I really hear that?

They say that simple thing amuse simple minds – well, please excuse this smidgeon of self-indulgence … This morning I was up, as usual, around 1.00am and came to my laptop with a pint mug of black expresso coffee. My first act after signing is always to conjure up the Radio 5 website, click on [...]

I had a dream

My earliest memories of playing sport, indeed probably of anything, go back only as far as the early 1960s, midway through my five-year incarceration in a seaside boarding preparatory school deep in the heart of East Sussex. There must have been times when we attended classes and attempted academic [...]

A tour of the Amex

Yesterday I went on a stadium tour of the Amex, the home of Brighton and Hove Albion FC. “Home” is the crucial word here as, after the bulldozing of the Goldstone Ground in 1997, the club and city was not to have a ground of its own until – 15 years to the very day – they [...]

Going back and actually enjoying it

Last night, in keeping with my normal television-choice routine, I channel-hopped as far as BBC4 in a desperate attempt to find something worth watching and thereby came across The Story of the 1986 Commonwealth Games on BBC4. [Here I must confess that I am about to comment upon an hour-long [...]

One for the Emerald isle

Last night I tuned to Sky Sports television in order to watch the first real heavyweight clash of the Women’s Rugby World Cup now taking place in France – the group stage match between Ireland and four-times World Cup winners New Zealand (aka ‘the Black Ferns’), who had yet to lose a [...]

The Tanner report: what odds Fulham?

Like many of the staffers on the Rust I respect the judgment of the Racing Post, so I read their preview of the Championship with interest.  Of the five main pundits, four preferred Cardiff, Norwich, Derby and Wigan – though one favours Fulham as outright winner. The bookies have Fulham [...]

Rory wins again

Rory won the Bridgestone Invitational by 2 shots. Has this event witnessed the handing over of the baton from Tiger Woods to Rory? I think not. The issue of when a sportsman is past it is an interesting one but in golf hard to chart. Three years ago Ernie Els won the Open and before that Tom [...]
