What’s Hot

The golfing weekend

The Indian golfer Lahiri won the European Tour Malaysia Open though it would be more accurate to say Bernd Wiesberger lost it. When he birdied the first two holes in the final round he was surely home and hosed but his game collapsed when he then bogeyed five holes. Charl Schwarzel and Martin [...]

Albion assessed

There is an old joke in the rag trade that goes like this: “How is business?” “It was bad a few months ago but now it’s tailing off.” Speaking to Alan T post match, that seemed to sum up the plight of our two teams. Both Brighton and Fulham had a mini revival under new [...]

The Tanner Report

Yesterday I had lunch at the Indigo restaurant at the Ardington Hotel in Worthing ,where I have a bungalow, with a local Fulham fan. Both Barry and I are old Fulham, our support started in the sixties. All his boys are supporters and I mentioned that on February 14 Jamie, Bob Tickler’s [...]

The Theory of Everything

Whilst no film buff like Neil Rosen I do enjoy a good biopic and I recently saw The Theory of Everything, being the life of Professor Steven Hawking. At first sight it’s rather an ambitious topic for a film. Beyond it being the theory of black holes, no one really comprehends Hawking’s [...]

I Can’t Begin To Tell You/ Elizabeth Buchan

Maintaining the theme of fiction set in the less well known theatres of warfare in World War Two, I have just read I Can’t Begin to Tell You by Elizabeth Buchan. Given the fast moving pace of the novel and the adventures of the heroine Kay I wondered if the writer was in any way related to [...]

The Tanner Report

When a mid-to-lower championship side comes up against a mid-to-lower Premier side the difference in class is usually palpable and it was last night when Sunderland beat Fulham 3-1 to remove us from the FA Cup. The game turned on a grotesque error by Marcus Bettinelli, our keeper, whose transition [...]

The sporting and betting weekend

As when Rory won his first Major, the U.S. PGA, which was over shadowed by the London Olympics, his fine performance to dominate the Dubai tourney was eclipsed by Andy Murray contesting the Australia Open. I flitted between the two but when the Murray challenge faltered and failed, I concentrated [...]

The Super Bowl

Let me say straight away that I do not follow American football. I have never mastered the tactics nor rules and have a problem spending 4 hours watching a game that takes one. I like sports like football where there is both simplicity and continuity of action and the staccato nature of grid iron [...]

A great game

When I joined the Rust, I explained to the editor that chess is a hard game to describe and animate, he said write in terms of your personal experiences. Chess is not a sport and a chess article is hidden away in the recesses of a newspaper – normally with a bridge and countryside column. [...]

Churchill’s funeral : a personal memory

I attended Churchill’s funeral and still have clear memories of it. My mother’s cousin and her aunt came over from Paris to pay their last respects. Every Friday my mother would shop at Ridley Road market and the king of the market was a kind man called Major Alf F. He had an obvious [...]
