    3 Consecutive Defeats

    This is actually the first time under Steve Tilson's stewardship that we have lost 3 games on the spin. Tomorrow is the second anniversary of him taking charge of his first game at Torquay (a 3-0 defeat). I doubt there are many managers in the country who have been at the helm of any club...
  2. Telegraph Report

    There really is more to Southend than the pier, jellied eels and white stilettos," insisted Southend United's centre-half, Adam Barrett, as he shared Football Focus reporting duties with Garth Crooks on Saturday. It was an overdue re-branding attempt on the back of the team's excellent start...
  3. Grounds you've seen the Shrimpers at...

    I was thinking the other day about how close I am getting to becoming a member of the 92 club. It seems I've been rather scuppered by thoughtless chairmen moving their clubs to new grounds in recent years however. I expect some of you can add some wierd and wonderful outposts and memories...

    FAQ 1 : The North Bank

    Why can’t we go back to the North Bank? The simple answer is: no-one really wants to. The longer answer needs a cup of coffee and a comfy armchair ... The North Bank debate has raged for many years, almost as soon as Vic Jobson kicked us all out in 1994 and “forced” us to use the new...

    Match Report

    The game with everything. Wayne Gray is playing the best Ive seen him, his header coming off the bar for Eastwood to mop up. The referee was a disgrace, as was the linesman. Saying that, from miles away in the west stand, the Freddie incident wasnt clear. It looked like he raised his hands so...

    From the Echo

    Nicky's gone, fine.  But Ron had the hump about the length of time Nic was taking and is quoted as follows: "Nicky took a long time to say he wanted to stay and by then we had agreed terms with another party So who's this other party we've agreed terms with then?  Sounds like the winger deal...

    Few points

    After arriving late to the game (again!) we missed the first five minutes but not, it seemed from the atmosphere, a great deal. The game was trudging along with a few half chances before Wayne Gray picked up a tidy crossed pass from Eastwood and superbly opened up space before lashing the...
  9. No rude hand gestures allowed

    Top marks for jobsworth stewarding at the Hall yesterday. During the second half a steward come over to our block and pulled out one of the season ticket holders for a quiet word. His crime? Apparently he'd been caught on camera (the steward had a photo to prove it) making the universal hand...

    Pat Scully

    NEW Kilkenny City boss Pat Scully is all set for a tough season. However the manager is ready to give his all for the club, and only wants players who are prepared to do the same. “I know what I want for this club, and I have no problem working for it,” the new manager said. “I’m not afraid of...

    The disallowed "goal" v Mansfield

    Having looked again on Blues World it appears to have been disallowed for the ball going out of play. The linesman has his flag out horizontally, meaning a goal kick. Gray had to head it - I don't think he would have reached it with his feet. It was a full length diving header. Anyhow...

    Anyone fancy writing a short piece on the OFR?

    It's only a summary document, about three thousand words in length explaining the underlying concepts behind it!

    what exactly are they doing to brisbane road?

    ive seen the pictures on their official site. as well as knocking down two stands, it seems as though they have taken off the end blocks of the east stand (the one that has been partly allocated to us). it looks as though this is to make way for 2 blocks of flats and another 2 blocks on the west...

    ORM needs an update in a nutshell

    I know f**k all about who has signed and who hasn't. As far as I'm concerned as long as Captain Marvel signs the others around him are incidental On a serious note can someone list all the players and their current contract status i.e. released, offered contract, signed contract...
