  2. Any BT phone engineers about?

    I've just had Sky+ installed and moved the old receiver up to one of the bedrooms. The bedroom doesn't have a phone point and neither, it would now seem, does the living room as the point in there appears to be dead ("knackered" cable under wooden floor). The engineer finished...
  3. Team Huddle

    I personally felt that the huddle that the players did before the kick off was very good. It showed to people that they still together and all pulling the same way even after losing out on automatic promotion. It showed everyone that Southend United are still together and have a good team...

    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...

    Kidderminster 1 -  3 Southend United

    Come on Southend... Noticeably some great character shining through for the blue boys. To concede in the 79th minute and then reply with 2 to get a 3 -1 win is superb. The team dominated proceedings again today. Ron Martin on the pitch at the end. Seems to me that the squad are really pulling...

    a little gem

    Two old friends were just about to tee off at the first hole of their local golf course when a chap carrying a golf bag called out to them. "Do you mind if I join you? My partner didn't turn up." Sure," they said, "You're welcome." So they started playing and...
