    Celtic fined as Dida receives ban

    Celtic have been fined £25,000 and AC Milan goalkeeper Dida has been banned for two matches following trouble at the recent Champions League game. However, the European champions intend to appeal against the penalty imposed on the 34-year-old Brazilian. Dida collapsed dramatically after a fan...
  2. One hell of a fight

    Allright, this season has gone totally pear shaped. Yes we have had extreemly bad luck...but we have lacked that little bit of extra quality. The hardest thing to accept is we've been beaton by cr*p teams who rely on big lumps up front and set peices - unfortunatly thier unattractive game...

    Report on Rochford Council meeting

    There is a very good report on the historic Rochford Council meeting at the Rochford Lib Dem web page (http://onlinefocus.org/): We knew it was going to be a pretty unusual evening when we heard that fans were hiring coaches to bring them from Southend to the match , er, committee meeting. Some...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 5

    “Southend United Football Club needs new energy and direction. With careful financial planning and professional management there is no doubt in our minds that the club is geared for greater things.” So read a statement released by Martin Dawn plc in November 1998 just after they had secured a...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 3

    "There will be no stadium at Fossetts Farm and the future of the football club remains at Roots Hall." A year after being ousted from position of chairman at Southend United, John Main returned to warn fans that a new stadium was merely a pipe-dream. His words, posted on a Southend United...

    Stadium application - planners recommendation

    I know this has been briefly mentioned in other threads but I thought it should be subject of a seperate thread. The Southend Council planning officers report is now on the Council website (via the Council & Democracy section, agenda & minutes, development control commitee 24/1)...

    I know this is in very poor taste

    .....do you think will croak it? I briefly saw Denis Norden on TV last night and I think he must have died about 15 years ago, but nobody has got round to telling him. I reckon this year may see the last of Margaret Thatcher, Terry Wogan, Shane Macgowan and Roger Moore.
  8. When the Saints really do go marching in...

    AFTER Saturday’s result the local rag down this way had the headline ‘Roots Hall Of Shame’, which made me chuckle. However, things got a whole lot funnier when I read today’s edition. Is losing to Southend really that bad? Man storms studio and turns air blue THE airwaves turned blue when a...

    My TV debut

    No where near the standard of Mr Cockles but for those of you lucky enough to recieve Meridian or Anglia (I think) soccer night myself and my good friend Tom will be appearing briefly after being interviewed before the game. I know we will be on as I went to school with the editors sister and...

    SAW 3

    I had the pleasure of watching this last friday night and it didnt disappoint. This one promised to be another goodun and Saw 3 trumped its 2 previous efforts with some more gruesome games along with a DIY operation using a power drill and various other handheld power appliances. Definatly...

    Camcorder Help

    As we all know the Pub @ SZ is somewhat awash with knowledge so here is my plea. I am off on my Honeymoon in November and me and the good lady shall be going on Safari and then to Mauritius. We would obvioulsy like a constant reminder of our trip so have decided to stick a Camcorder on the...

    Which youth teamer

    The above 4 have been close to or have briefly tasted first team football last season. But which one if any will be the first to taste first team action this season. I know very little about any but have got for Ademeno due to limited number of forwards we posses.

    It's a Knockout

    Thinking about the Meet the Blues Day It's a Knockout style event got me thinking about the TV show itself, inspirationally fronted by the legendary Stuart Hall. So here is an It's a Knockout trivia test. Your five questions are: 1. What name did the Mini-Marathon have in the Jeux Sans...

    Trouble at the Cottage

    Saw it briefly on the ITV news, looked pretty ugly. Don't see scenes like that much these days. For those that don't know, Fulham fans invaded the pitch after their 1-0 win today and a few Chelsea fans then went on and there was a bit of barney. Well done to Fulham, seeing Mourinho...
  15. FAO : SPIXWORTH BLUES

    Afternoon gent(s) - currently living in North Walsham, but will be moving nearer to Norwich in the not too distant future, can also now get to more games, wondered if an extra petrol contribution would be of help...think we did make contact briefly last year but my old user profile became...
  16. Controversial one this....

    ...but for me its come as no surprise that these 3 straight defeats have come immediately after the Barnet FA Cup tie. I said to Draft Shrimper and statski that I'd be quite happy this season to go out at the first hurdle as having been a Shrimper for 18+ years I've seen many a promising...
  17. Monday Joke

    A couple go for  a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the "Chicken Surprise". The waiter  brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife  is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly  sees two beady little eyes looking around before...

    We went into the valleys and slayed the giants

    Wow, as the hangover has lifted it has finally sunk in that we bloody did it&#33; Although I always followed the Blues fortunes since childhood I didn&#39;t really see many games, even when I started work at 17. I actually started to goto to every home game from the middle of 98/99 onwards so...

    Just got back...

    oh well at least we gave a better account of ourselves then last years game. Gonna watch the tape tomorrow to see it again. I think someone was a bit harsh saying everyone played crap apart from Barrett. For me the only one out there who had a total shocker today was Gower whose white boots left...
