The ATT at Pebble Beach

Alan Tanner rightly takes centre stage of the Rust today after Fulham ‘s victory over Everton but give some credit to Pargie who had wagers on Maverick McNealy, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay at the ATT at Pebble Beach. The former finished runner up to winner Daniel Berger and the latter two [...]

Brighton had the better chances but found Villa keeper Emilio Martinez in defiant form. We are now unbeaten in 6 games and  have a 11 point cushion over Fulham with a superior goal difference.

When “equality for all” hits the iceberg

It may be fundamentally inappropriate and/or facile to discuss the Covid-19 pandemic in quasi-wartime terms so I apologise in advance to any Ruster who may be offended by me doing so today. However, it seems to me that with the benefit of hindsight – amidst the snowstorm of incoming competing [...]

Sporting weekend

I delayed my post to report on the Super Bowl Tampa Bay victory in the early hours of Monday. To both my surprise and loss though no expert on American football, Tom Brady won his seventh Superbowl ring aged 43 for the Tampa Bay Buccs. However it was his team that bottled up Patrick Mahames, Tyreek [...]

Sport comes back to earth and carries on

At the twin risks of ignoring the advice “If you cannot say something positive, say nothing” and straying from subjects I know anything about, today I have chosen to post today upon sporting matters. AMERICAN FOOTBALL (SUPER BOWL 55) I’m afraid that – in keeping with its other major [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 0 West Ham 0

I used to clean the windows of a doctor who told me that – in issuing a bulletin – there is a state known as unlikely … being worse than serious but less than grave. I cannot think of a better term to describe Fulham’s position than unlikely.    We are now 8 points adrift [...]

The Calcutta Cup goes north

The beginning of the Six Nations tournament is one of my annual sporting milestones because, as an oldie, it instantly re-connects me with both my youth and the golden years of rugby union in the British Isles which – with a broad brush approach – I would cite as being roughly between 1965 [...]

A Seagull victory to savour and an afternoon with Ted Dexter

Brighton’s victory at Anfield over Liverpool last Wednesday night will be remembered long. Of course this is not the Liverpool team that won the Premier and Champions League but the bulk of the side that achieved that took the field. The Seagulls continued to be without our excellent young right [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 0 Leicester City 2

It’s looking bleak for Fulham now, 8 points adrift in 20th place. Performances have improved these past few months but we still only have two wins all season. Leicester beat us comfortably. A header from a corner by Tosin was our best effort  on target. Alex Mitrovic linked play well but did not [...]

My sporting weekend

Although it was not the most successful weekend for me betting-wise a number of selection issues were helpfully clarified for European Ryder Cup captain Podraig Harrington. Unlike his American counterpart Steve Stricker who has six, Harrington has only 3 captain’s picks. Two of these potentially [...]
