Fiorentina file: Roma 3 Fiorentina 1

Last night Fiorentina lost 3-1 to Roma in a thriller at the Olimpico. It was Jose Mourinho’s first game in charge of Roma and there were several faces familiar in their red and yellow strip to English fans; Patricio (Wolves) in goal, Mikitaryan in midfield and now Tammy Abraham from Chelsea. They [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 Hull 0

This performance was more Jose Mourinho than Jean Tigana but not early Scott Parker. Having achieved a two goal lead through goals from the rejuvenated Mitrovic and the impressive Fabio Carvalho we closed the game out. We should have scored another but I can only recall one Hull shot on goal all [...]

More “Sport and Health” …

Referencing once again the Rust’s ongoing review of post-career health for those who play – or participate in – elite sport, overnight I came across a number of media stories reporting that Liverpool football legend Terry McDermott has dementia. He joins an ever-lengthening list [...]

A day at Arundel

I have really missed watching Sussex CCC at Arundel in 2020 and 2021. Yesterday I was invited there to watch an ex-Sussex CCC XI play a Sussex Cricket League XI. One of the curiosities of Arundel Castle Cricket Club is that it is a cricket venue, not an actual cricketing team. Older readers might [...]

Canaletto at the Holburne

As I left the Holburne museum in Bath I heard two men say of Canaletto: “They all look the same …” It’s a crude description but has some merit to it. Caneletto was a commercial painter sponsored by a clever, very wealthy businessman Joseph Smith, the English consul of Venice in [...]

Bath – an overview

I’m really here going to plug the gaps of the previous posts. Bath is certainly worth a visit but 48 hours would do it.  The preservation of its architecture, the history of both Roman and Georgian bath are all fascinating. It’s a convenient size to walk every where which is just as well [...]

Sport and health

Over the past thirty years the issues associated with the long-term effects of an elite sporting career – particularly those of head injuries – have gradually assumed an increasing importance. It is stating the bleedin’ obvious to record that life itself is potentially dangerous – [...]

The Tanner Report/What’s not to like?

Fulham have begun their season more than satisfactorily. Now second in the Championship, a new starlet in Fabio Carvalho and a new coach who has us playing with more tempo, an owner who has enough wealth to withstand all the worst financial consequences of Covid. We also have a squad with depth. [...]

A La Colthard/the Royal Crescent Bath

It was Nancy’s idea that “Rusters On European Tour” might make a trip to Bath. Alice (Mansfield) wanted to see the Canaletto exhibition at the Holburne museum Bath and I don’t need much excuse to revisit one of my favourite hotels The Royal Crescent. As the name would suggest the [...]

The curse continues to gather pace

Spotted overnight upon the media websites: another example of the latest fashionable “woke” madness – the drive to promote ridiculous pastimes like cycling and e-scootering, loosely in the supposed cause of saving the Earth from the effects of a man-made carbon emissions [...]
