The Sporting Weekend

For the third week running Jeremy Chapman pulled up a winner in Jon Rahm in the DP event at Dubai. Justin Rose at -19 seemed to be coasting along but lost his mojo in the final back nine. He had a relatively simple chip to the green which he bunkered, bogeyed the hole, hit the water and fell back [...]

The Tanner Report : Fulham 1 Bolton1

Many seasons ago in the grim years of bottom tier football I attended a game with John Mitchell, one of our 1975 FA Cup run heroes, and a personal one of mine. He assessed the team and said “The problem here is that they are not enough players giving a consistent performance. We had [...]

No answers – and maybe more questions

It is a fact that in sport – as with everything – life simply goes on, sometimes even as one is looking the other way amidst the dross of supposed ‘news’ stories and careful placements. Rust readers won’t need reminding that British cycling has been suffering this past [...]

Cricket at Lords

I was not too sure how much I would use my debenture seat at Lords and whether it would prove good value as you have to pay for the debenture, which gives you the right to a dedicated seat, and then the seat itself at cost price for a test , ODI or t20.

Day Two in Mallorca

The weather out here in Palma resembles a balmy mid-September UK during daylight, becoming significantly colder once the sun goes down about 6.00pm. Day Two began about 10.00am when my son Barry came to pick me up and take me to his industrial unit about 15 miles out of town, the hub of his [...]

On having a good old age

One doesn’t like to get morbid about things unnecessarily – or perhaps at all – about the nature of old age and human mortality but sometimes it’s good to talk. Or at least face up to some of the realities. I don’t find the prospect daunting in the slightest. Some tough-ish things [...]

Brighton 0 Brentford 2

After my missus read my piece last Friday she said “What sort of reporter are you, you failed to notice the platform broke down. Stick to the day time job.” I got more info from the Argus and other 1901 members none of whom were allowed into the viewing platform once it finally [...]
