    Hypocrites - the lot of 'em

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/feb/07/religion.politics http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7882953.stm Where is the consistency ? Only in that both individuals were barred from entering the UK. Otherwise both sides of the argument have changed tact when it comes to wanting the man...

    Football Must Refer To Cricket

    If you've been keeping an eye on the cricket recently then you'll have noticed some interesting experiments taking place in the West Indies. No, don't worry, England are still reassuringly hopeless, they'll never toy with that. It's the officials who are changing; test-piloting a new system of...

    Ron Martin's Blog

    Chairman’s Blog 27.01.09 - From Inside Your Club When I started looking at investing in SUFC and held early meetings with Vic Jobson it soon became clear (the opposite actually!) that the operation was surrounded in mystique. I will not speak ill of the dead but I think the Chairman at that...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ronnie Pountney 2nd vote

    Up for the second time is Ronnie Pountney The first individual to be nominated 6 times, this still wasn't enough to make him a first ballot hall of famer, as his vote seemed to have got lost in the Christmas period. The idea that Pountney didn't make it was met by incredulity from those who...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend Seek To Add To Scolari's Woes

    Don't panic on the first line, you haven't got the day wrong. This is for tomorrow's paper! Six months ago, who could have believed that Chelsea would see tonight’s trip to Southend as anything other than a formality? For just a brief period at the start of his reign, Luiz Felipe Scolari...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Stan Collymore

    The next man up for election to the Southend United Hall of Fame is Stanley Victor Collymore. I think Stan might be the first man to divide opinion sufficiently to have a few no votes. After all, longevity is one of the criteria and Stan only graced a Southend shirt thirty-three times and...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ronnie Pountney

    There are many ways to measure greatness: appearances, medals, honours, popularity. Well Ron Pountney sits third in the all-time appearance list, was an integral part of the club's first major title (Division 4, 1980-81) and won the player of the year award a record three times. Ronnie...

    Memory Lane SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - - Sid Broomfield has passed away RIP Sid

    When I suggested we should have on SZ a Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United, I wanted us to recognised those individuals who helped build the club. In Sid Broomfield's case he did this literally. Sid Broomfield might not be the most famous name in Southend United's...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - 1st round of nominations

    For a bit of fun and to honour our club's history, I propose starting a SZ Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United. The words legend and great are bandied about a bit too often for my liking, I'd like our Hall of Fame to be exclusive and so that only the elite make it. It...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 6 - A Century United

    This week, Tom (A Century United) from all the way up the top of Scotland answers the questions. Below is a picture of him amongst the starting 11 for the League 2 Playoff Final. The woman in white sitting on the number 1 forgot her boots that day, thus why Duncan Jupp got the nod. 1) How...
  12. Old Problem, New Approach..drugs

    I saw this in one our local papers, and I just wanted to see what your thaughts are, especially if you are one of the recreational drug takers mentioned. 'Columbias vice-president, Fancisco Santos Calderon, appealed last week to recreational cocaine users in the UK to ponder the impact on...
  13. Family stand - swearing

    Any chance the swearing can be stopped in the family stand? It's frankly embarrassing to hear the individuals do it and also the marshals to simply ignore it. If you want to swear and taunt the opposition then sit in near the North stand. Idiots.

    Letter To Ashley

    After trawling through Mike Ashley's emotional 1664 word press release, Slipperduke has a few questions for him.... "I paid £134 million out of my own pocket for the club. I then poured another £110 million into the club not to pay off the debt but just to reduce it. The club is still in...

    The Blue Voice - Some Facts

    Right, first of all many thanks for all the bitchy comments, to say I'm a little ****ed off right now is an understatement. All these negative statements regarding TBV I take as a personal insult, so If anyone else wants a pop please do so via PM. Now for the facts. The Blue Voice is not an...

    ORM has a brand new toy - iPhone 3G

    Picked up from Lakeside this afternoon - doesn't look too shabby at all - still a few things to work out such as texting groups rather than individuals and I still haven't accessed the Zone through the web yet but I seem to have worked out contacts, synching and email accounts. Anyone else got...

    Can't remember which of the youngsters it was, but someone was recently asking about paramedic training. Well, in the Echo jobs section today is the following advert: Earn While You Learn - We are looking for new recruits to train to become future Paramedics. Starting salary 17,797 pa + uo...

    Leeds United

    The dream that they lived under Peter Ridsdale has long since faded into a memory but, for the supporters of Leeds United, it's taking a lot longer to wake up from the nightmare that followed. Defeat at Wembley to a spirited and creative Doncaster Rovers means that it's another season in the...
