    My Roar blog - part 2

    At the start of the A-League season I posted a blog about my experiences as a newly emigrated ‘Pom’ supporting the Queensland Roar. General commitments relating to settling into the country (getting a new job, buying a car, finding somewhere to live) has meant I haven’t made it a regular thing...

  3. Just got back

    Oh boy what to say? The ref was terrible and incredibly biased towards Walsall - but to be honest it wouldn't of changed the outcome. Yorkshire Blue commented on how Walsall played like we used to - short zippy passes through the middle - we just seem to hoof it up field these days and leave...

    Diary of a Shrimper in Devon

    Saturday (Early) The alarm went off bang on 5 and hit the wall at 1 second past, my reflexes are still pretty quick even at this god awful hour. Get up and stand on clock. Scream and kick clock. Scream louder as I remember I have nothing on my feet. Clock looks all smug as I limp to the...

    Proud to be a Shrimper

    The question I put to everyone is, what makes you proud to be a Blues fan? Had gathered a big group of us for the match on Sky Sports last night at the local, and in no time at all the pulsating tie and the hard working Blues had won over and converted the entire pub to Southend supporters...

  6. How on earth...

    ...did Peter Clarke come second in the player of the year award? I can only assume it was because Bailey got a few thousand votes and the rest of the players were each in single figures - ie second could have gone to anyone really. I do not doubt his effort for the club. And he often makes...

    My Match Ratings

    I don't usually do this after games but i thought i would show how i rated the players' performances last night... Flahavan- 6- In all fairness he had nothing to do, there two shots on target resulted in two goals. Made a couple of good punched clearances and a couple of good catches...

    Wiggy's Rating's

    Flavs 6 not much to do but thought he looked more alert and confident today. Francis 7 couple of errors 2nd half but he is a good footballer and makes things happen unlike negative Hunt Barrett 6 winning very little in the air lately and looks a bit dodgy at times Clarke 6.5 better than Barrett...

  9. England vs Switzerland

    Pretty important game, but it's still early days and I'm sure Capello will want to look at a variety of players and combinations. However, what would your (best) starting 11 be tomorrow, or who would you pick if you were boss, from Capellos squad? Carson Richards Rio Woodgate Barry SWP...

  10. Steve McClaren In Disguise

    This is not a knee-jerk reaction but something that has been building for many many months. I believe that its time Tilly and his staff moved on and passed the reigns to a fresh face. Having taken the plaudits and praise for a few good seasons (and being rewarded with a new contract) it has...

    Calamity Collis nearly costs us, here's some ratings!

    Collis 3 caught 2 dolly drops, stayed rooted to his line for 5 crosses and parried an easy shot straight to the forward, time to bring in Mr. Reliable! Hunt 6 done ok, distribution not great Hammel 6 good ball in for Barretts goal but once again poor distribution Barrett 7 good defending and...

    what really hacks me off..

    1) why is Lawrenson commentatng - hes an Eire player 2) why are we playing with 1 up front at home 3) why is the third choice keeper suddenly the number 1 4) why is Mclaren standing there with a brolly? Put a hat on and get wetwith the rest of the team. 5) why do we have to hoof it long just...

  13. Did Sir Steve have a bad game ?

    I thought so. Leon Clarke is not a target man (although he diidn't shirk giving it a go) so the dreadful semi-hoof ed "out ball" from Richards (cos they don't trust him to knock it 10 yards to the fullback) was going nowhere and Eric was not ready for a gruesomely knowledgeable Tranmere...

    Collis lovers, reserve match shows that Tilson has got this one spot on!

    Looked what he is today, 2nd rate keeper, rooted to his line for crosses, all at sea twice when the ball was put through. Not much to do to be honest but looked suspect against reserve players, long way to go before he is Flav's class. New left winger put in some beautiful pacey crosses but not...

  15. Pride, passion and I can't hear the fat lady....

    the reality check came crashing in when the awful Barnsley team left RH with the points and all the SUFC weaknesses were exposed but ..... we are the smallest and poorest club in the league (Col U are heavily financed, Luton have a long history at this level plus have millions from player...

    Tykes to take a tanking......

    I have just received a sensational exclusive report handed to me from S.A.T.V. towers.It reads as follows........... "Saturday will be dry with sunny spells.Unusually warm for April.Min temp22C-Max temp25C .Forecast for the Southend area." Seems you're getting stuffed this time then...

    Colchester

    Should probably give a mention of what I thought of them on the day. Clearly the standout performer was Cureton. His footballing brain is outstanding to the extent that you feel sorry for those around him trying to keep up. Sodje made a mstake but he was on to the ball so quickly and scored...

    Moaning Burnley

    It would appear that Burnley manager Steve Cotterill felt that his side didn't deserve to lose. I'm sorry, but it's teams like Burnley and the way they play that ruin football for the paying public. Cotterill said he felt sorry for the fans who had made the trip down south to see their team lose...

  19. Up front tomorrow night

    Gotta play Ginge tomorrow. With a midfield of Mitch, Macca, Clarke and JCR, our only hope is to play Harrold and hoof it up there bypassing midfield. Sorry if I seem negative, i'm still trying to control my anger. Still, like others have said - it's a good chance for players to get...

    WIGGY'S RATING'S

    Flavs 5 uncharacteristic early **** up, no time to desert him. Hammel 6 worth his place on set pieces alone Hunt 6 bit lost at times but done o.k Sodje 6 don't like his hoof ball but need his strength in the air Prior 8 may not have the legs but his experience is invaluable Clarke 1 this is...
