    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Aldersh*t v Southend United-Abandoned at HT

    An eventful day for sure, allegedly some spoon went walkabout in the fast lane on the M25 (not for long i'm sure you appreciate) and the ensuing congestion meant a lovely detour up the M40 to Wycombe, a short hop over to the M4 westbound towards Reading, through Bracknell and onto the M3 back...

    SOUTHEND United held Premier League new boys Norwich City to a 0-0 draw in an uneventful friendly at Roots Hall tonight. More...
  4. Ref Watch ....... Barnet

    Saturday's man in charge is the loose cannon that is Trevor Kettle. Or, rather, Squadron Leader Trevor Kettle based at RAF Cottesmore at Oakham in Rutland. This is his 8th season as a League referee and his matches have been littered with controversy and condemnation throughout. I am sure there...
  5. Ref Watch ..... Burton away

    Can't see it happening myself (buying those very cheap advance rail tickets doesn't seem quite so smart now!) but if it does, the man in charge is Iain Williamson from Berkshire who is in his 7th season as a League referee. Played non-league for Walton & Hersham until injury forced him into...

    Kulula Airline

    Kulula is an Airline with it's head office situated in Johannesburg . Kulula airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported: Kulula's new paint scheme "Flying...
  8. Ref Watch ... Stockport

    The referee on Saturday will have been to Roots Hall more often than most of our players. The man in charge is Iain Williamson from Berkshire who is in his 7th season as a League referee. Played non-league for Walton & Hersham until injury forced him into refereeing. He did absolutely no games...
  9. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part Two

    Ok, here's the second part to my review of the League One season. Apologies for the delay, have been busy this past week. Brighton Quite how Brighton finished as high as 13th should pay great testament to the work of Gus Poyet since his arrival. Having narrowly avoided the drop last time out...

    Question Pork Scratchings???

    Last night I sat down to the delights of England vs Mexico. I dont have beer in the house as a rule as I cant stop drinking it but we had friends over at the weekend for a BBQ and so its rude to leave those ice cold San Miguels in the fridge. Anyway ploughing through my third pack all the...
  11. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part One

    So, another season bites the dust and it’s all over bar the fighting at the Wembley mud bath. As ever, ten months of football has served up more twists, turns and travesties than a Mail on Sunday honey trap and hopefully this should spread some light on the season just gone. Norwich Starting...
  12. Ref Watch .... Brentford

    Tonight's match sees the return to Roots Hall of the loose cannon that is Trevor Kettle. Or, rather, Squadron Leader Tervor Kettle based at RAF Cottesmore at Oakham in Rutland. This is his 7th season as a League referee and his matches have been littered with controversy and condemnation...
  13. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...

    Unititled

    Well my pedigree chums. I have had a very nostalgic day indeed. I have been thinking about the club the memories its given me both good and bad and the sheer timescale effort and sacrifice that comes with it. It all started for me with southend needing a win at home to luton town with...
  15. Ref Watch .... Kettle

    Tomorrow night's match sees the return to Roots Hall of the loose cannon that is Trevor Kettle. Or, rather, Squadron Leader Tervor Kettle based at RAF Cottesmore at Oakham in Rutland. This is his 7th season as a League referee and his matches have been littered with controversy and condemnation...

    Italy Stunned By Fiery Pharaohs

    Egypt 1-0 Italy Homos 40 It was the Brazilian legend Pele who once said that an African side would win the World Cup before the year 2000. Sadly, like most of Pele's predictions, it was about as accurate as a John Terry penalty. But if that vast continent can't yet produce a side capable of...

    Worst date ever?

    Come on then ladies and gentlemen. We have all had some pretty terrible dates - so give us your horror stories. Mine dates back to 2006 time. I was doing a mortgage for a SZ poster who I wont name for fear of dating the data protection act or something similar. We met up at London Bridge where...

    Well what a year it's been. Another Tilly and Brushy rollacoster, we have a new stadium being built, No we aint, Yes we have...... and today being the anniversary since my life threatening adventure in Basildon Hospital, I love the nurses! it now seems right to see who's in the frame this year...

    Score It, O'Hara!

    Someone really needs to find out what Harry Redknapp is saying at half-time, because if we can patent and market it, we'll make a fortune. After an abject first half at White Hart Lane, Tottenham burst into life in the second, scoring four goals in twenty minutes, helped in no small way by the...

    Harry's Nostalgia - York (Dec 92)

    Please forgive this old git a bit of self indulgence, but as this is my 10,000th post, and before I get back to working for a living, I decided I would do another away day article. For the purpose of this article I have chosen an away trip to York in December 1972. As ever my memory played...
