    The fbm view and ratings

    BRIGHTON ROCK AS LATE SHOW SEALS BLUES PASSAGE Southend made heavy going of their 2nd round Carling Cup tie against Brighton at Roots Hall this evening, but in the end it was a naive managerial decision by Albion caretaker boss Dean Wilkins that showed Blues the way.  Tilly had made 2 changes...

    Outstanding performances...

    What a superb performance from the guys today - especially in the 2nd half when we seemed to settle into the very impressive surroundings and realise that WBA were not comfortable being attacked. We remarked after 5 mins or so of the 2nd half that this is exactly what was needed - we came out...

    Proud to be British?

    Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything...

    (See what I did there with the Topic Title)?? Anyway moving on....Were there any SUFC fans in Barside or in other parts of the ground?? No aggro I hope?
  6. Playing Musical Catch Up

    Birthday presents this week have allowed me to forget about impending middle aged by catching up on some missed albums (some of my spare funds that would have normally been spent on CD's going on spoiling my daughter instead for the last 9 months or so). First up, the new Belle &amp...

    "Not responsible for them"

    Once more, the powers that be were on hand to stop people standing up within the ground. Whilst we all appreciate the fact that the ground is an all seater stadium and we should all be sitting down, the "lets look for easy targets" section of the stewards did their normal thing. I sit...

    Racist or Placeist?

    Earlier in the season at the Hall (can't remember which game) there were 2 coloured linesman who both were bald and who both had chequered flags.  Consequently, in my review of the match, I made a comment about an appalling decision in each half by the linesman but said that I couldn't tell...

    Amusing Stewarding at MK Dons

    I must make some comment on the hysterically stewarding experienced at Roots Hall last Saturday during the Spanish Shrimpers annual visit to the UK. The main view is from our position in the East Stand (first half East Greens [before some old fart made a comment about day-tripping, I kid ye not]...
  11. first petrol.. now booze!

    No sooner has Britain been plunged into fuel crisis than reports are growing that the newspapers are poised to completely manufacture another catastrophe for the British public, this time centred around booze. Already some parts of the country have experienced record queues at bars and pubs as...

    A Complaint

    What I am about to say is strictly off the record. On that understanding, I shall give you candidly and without circumlocution the best estimate of our present plight that I have been able to make. Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what Southend United's particularly...

    Sin City

    I went to see it last night! Bloody weird film if you ask me.  I've read lots of reviews on it and some gave it five stars! I can't see what all the fuss is about, ok its based on Frank Millers Sin City comic books, but i was highly let down after seeing this film. Yes it has some good parts...

    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...

    Shrimperzone.com meet-up

    I was reading in the London Evening standard the other week about this clan/cult that arrange via email/websites to meet up in huge-huge groups and to perform different things etc! One example the clan/cult secretly arranged, was to meet on a platform at Kings Cross Station (at an arranged...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    I realize that Thanksgiving isn't celebrated in England, but one of the best parts about the day is that it gives people the chance to realize all the good things in their life, things that they take for granted the rest of the year.  One tradition of this day is before dinner each person says...

    The Home of Football?

    Think you know the history of football? Do you know about the Chinese army exercise of 200-300 BC that is one of the earliest descriptions of kicking a ball into a net... How about 'Shrovetide Football', still played in some parts of England on Shrove Tuesday, where there were no...
  20. Flying Experiences

    OK then, the chit-chat forum seems a little quiet at the moment... so let's hear of your experiences when travelling by air. Basically, what were your best &/or worst experiences of... air-travel, aircraft (fobias?), airports, aircrews, landings or take-offs etc. FWIW, I have travelled...
