    Tommy Widdrington

    Tommy was apparently one of 4 candidates considered for the Braintree job, which went to Alan Devonshire, according to this article: http://www.thisistotalessex.co.uk/sport/Wily-Devonshire-knows-hard-job-ahead-Iron/article-3595065-detail/article.html

    Your A-Z of Greatest Hits

    The theory is you need to make a double album of your favourite songs, 13 on each CD. The catch is you can only pick one song per letter to make an A-Z. So how would your A-Z pan out? It helps having iTunes or suchlike open in song order in front of you! If there's enough responses to this I...

    loved Stirrups opening salvo in BW interview - I've got a set of players here who shouldn't be taking their wages home - I wonder if thats made the chairmans day
  4. Players, Managers, Mollycoddled? Do they need the Iron Fist?

    Are we being too nice to our players and managers? Are we over pampering them? Maybe this is why we failed so miserably at the World Cup. North Korea may have the answer as to how to deal with our England flops. They punished, and publicly humiliated some of their players, and Coach Kim...
  5. Another Mitchell Murdered in the East End

    The spate of murdered Mitchells in the East End of London was added to once more, as Kevin Mitchell was blown away by a rampant Michael Katsidis at an Upton Park which is growing accustomed to home losses. Much was made of Mitchell’s recent form and his credentials as another English...

    Harry's Nostalgia - North Bank Memories

    With the imminent return to the North Bank, albeit for two games I thought I'd share a few memories with you, while I still have them that is. Firstly though a big well done to Smiffy, TrueBlue and all the others who have worked hard to achieve this. :clap: From the first day I stepped into...

    Zone Update Craig Calver

    Craig Calver has joined Braintree Town. Suppose all these strikers at the club meant he was unlikely to get a first team look in ! Link http://nln24.com/news/story/calver-joins-the-iron
  8. What with the....

    Berlin wall falling 20 years ago today, I'm curious to whether any of the SZ massive ever travelled to that side of the Iron Curtain, and I'm warning you now Rusty Shackleford and Lord Football, if this goes all political I'm sending you to bed without any supper! ;)

    How comes nobody's been golfing with Tilly lately?

    We need info! What is he, some sort of fairweather golfer? In the summer at least 50% of posters here were out golfing/drinking/sleeping with him, now they've all vanished. COME ON, someone get down the driving range, surely he's down there taking out his anger on his 9 iron.
  10. ******** electrical question!

    hi all, i've just moved flats and am having some hi-fi issues. my turntable is now quite a way from my amp, and so i can't attached the turntable grounding wire to the amp (the amp has a built in phono stage). A work around is to ground the turntable to something that is already grounded, so...

    A typical bloke...discuss?

    A typical bloke, having split from his latest girlfriend,decided to take a holiday.He booked himself on a cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is; until the ship sank. He found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing; only bananas and coconuts. After...

    Pre-Match Thread Canvey Island

    It's not very often that I find myself in the position being a Southend fan but I do love the once a year "cup final" that Southend find themselves in against Canvey Island FC, I adore their 12 fans still riding the crest of the FA Trophy win at Villa Park 8 years ago firmly believing that they...

    A Woman's Week At The Gym

    Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, my daughter (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I...

    I wish I'd Gone To Hayes

    Barcelona 0-0 Chelsea So was it Guus Hiddink's tactics or Petr Cech's saves? Was it the referee and his failure to spot a late tug on Theirry Henry or was it Barcelona's inability to take their chances? Chelsea fans won't give two hoots. The net result of this rather grim affair was a scoreless...

    I have been suffering all day with the hangover from hell. Is it me or do hangovers creep up on you later in the day the older you get? I felt a wee bit pished when i woke up and as the day progressed I got steadily worse. I have tried all the old wives tale remedies and nothing has worked...

    Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool (Ronaldo 23) (Torres 28) (Gerrard 44, pen) (Aurelio 77th) (Dossena, 90+1) Old Trafford has never emptied so quickly. Even before Manchester United were put out of their misery by referee Alan Wiley, there were more empty seats than supporters. Those...

    Gary Hooper-Guardian Scouting report

    Have to admit I liked Hoops as a player for us though I never thought he'd make the grade any higher than League 1 or 2.The valuation here is pretty generous too I feel. <League OneScouting report: Gary Hooper, Scunthorpe United The 20-year-old Iron forward has a good touch and can play at...

    French and Belgian flags.

    Have been making enquiries about getting a French flag for the three fella's to perhaps make them feel at home. They do a 5 x 3 ft on ebay in 100% polyester. Does any one know if you can iron on letters on polyester or will it shrivel up like cling film? Also as I sit in the West does anybody...
