A sporting day in front of the tv

My sport watch would have started in the morning if it had been the fourth day of the Test. I agree with Duggie Heath that the ramifications for Test cricket with pitches prepared resulting in only 2 days’ play would be severe. Scyld Berry in the Telegraph argued that nothing will happen [...]

A sporting life

The news of Tiger Wood’s serious car accident in California yesterday has been dominating the world’s news media outlets since it happened and will have saddened many – and not just golfing and sports fans. At this stage – before the investigations are completed and the facts established [...]

Brighton HAFC 1 Crystal Palace 2

How can a team have 25 attempts at goal and the opposition – your most bitter rivals –  just 3, plus 75% of the possession and still lose ? Ask Brighton for that is what happened last night. In a dull first half Crystal Palace scored the only goal with a clever back heel from Mateta. [...]

Sport as it was may be back on the horizon

Amidst the details of the Prime Minister’s cautious, once and for all, “road map” out of Lockdown 3 announced yesterday, UK sports fans, clubs and players/athletes will have taken particular interest in the 17th May and 21st June milestones within it applying to the potential return of crowds [...]

My sporting weekend

In the US PGA Genesis Invitational event at the Riviera Club in California Max Homa won in a play-off with Tony Finau. Max Homa is a young tyro whilst Tony Finau has been around a long time without ever  winning a major.  Not many punters backed either. I was on Patrick Cantlay, Mark Leishman, [...]

The Tanner Report: Burnley 1 Fulham 1

Normally a point at Burnley on a wet Wednesday night would be satisfactory but not when you need a win to survive. It was all the more annoying as we took the lead – albeit luckily – when from a corner the ball struck Ola Aina’s chest to score. Burnley equalised almost immediately. [...]

The world keeps going forward in time

A question category that comes with the territory of being a member of the human race – springing from its abilities to rationalise, acquire and then pass on knowledge to its future descendants – is “What if?” Henry Ford may have dismissed history as “bunk” – and arguably to an [...]

Thoughts on the Second Test

The reports will surely headline the manner of England’s defeat (317 runs), a dusty spinning wicket that was already deteriorating on day two, Ravi Ashwin scoring a century and taking 8 wickets or the decision of Mooen Ali to miss the final two Tests but I’m going to feature in today’s [...]

The Tanner Report: Everton 0 Fulham 2

Finally Fulham turned a superior performance into a deserved victory and 3 points. There were many positives – the performances of the two full backs Tete and Aina, the industry of Harrison Reed, the vibrant Ade Lookman – but most heartening was the two goals of latest loan signing Josh [...]
