    Question Was this a carefully laid man-trap?

    Had a bit of a strange moment over the Christmas period, that I'm hoping you folks can help me with. The wife had decided that she wanted to watch Sex and the City 2 which I'm sure I don't need to tell you was not really my bag (being neither female or gay). Rather than disappear off to another...

    Rons new year blog

    BLOG FROM JAN 2008 JUST SHOWS HOW FAR WEV'E FALLEN IN SUCH A SHORT SPACE OF TIME!! The transfer windows favour the Premiership and larger clubs who can target players within this condensed period of opportunity and do not have the same financial constraints as might befall the smaller clubs...

    OD - Week 7

    Me 3rd away to 4th in what should be a close battle. Ordinarily I'd feel quite confident as I edge the bowling as always. However one of my seamers is not performing atm so I've elected for three spinners on green track. Worked for me before but against inferior opposition, arguably when I was a...

    Captains Blog Part 2

    EAST ON.... I know this is supposed to be a light-hearted column so I’ll get Saturday’s defeat against Morecombe out of the way first. What can I say, we’re all gutted with the result and the way we lost the three goals in a game where we once again had most of the play. When we equalised at...

    Question Use Your Illusion I or Use Your Illusion II?

    Drunken conversation between a mate and I the other day ended up with us arguing the merits of the two Guns N' Roses albums that came out back in 1991. My friend was very much in the 'II' camp (features "You Could Be Mine" and he's a huge fan of "Civil War"), whilst I much prefer 'I' (the better...

    EAST ON.... I felt we deserved something out of the Northampton game. We went 1-0 up and then you want to see it out to get the three points but the goals we lost we weren’t happy with. * We probably deserved more but we have got to be more ruthless and more professional in the way we finish...

    Battle of the 80s movie

    Since we're all in a movies mood, let's have a straight battle of 80s films. Lets have your choices - to begin when the singer cup finishes. ps No overblown serious films, this is a contest of films which epitomised the era. So no Empire Strikes Back, no nightmare on elm street. There's got to...
  13. What an opportunity for Sturrock......

    .....OK so the 4 who have expressed their desire to leave is disappointing but make no mistake about it I only want to support players who want to play for my club so if they don't then there's the door. Of the senior players - discounting the likes of Herd and Crawford - we have only Granty...

    Question Is this the biggest appointment in the clubs history?

    In terms of appointment of managers is this potentially thr biggest. Sturrock is someone with a proven track record at this level, he is someone we have all heard of and on paper he looks to me anyway pretty decent. I am thinking this is probably the most high profile manager we have ever...
  16. Shamrock Rovers

    Shamrock Rovers and fan ownership I recently attended my first Shamrock Rovers match. Rovers, seven or eight years ago were in a similar position to where we are. They had no ground, no assets and they owed a huge amount of money to the tax man and various other creditors. 400 supporters came...

    In the lyrics of Tinie Tempah's track "Pass Out" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzvGKas5RsU He sings "Ive been Southampton I aint never been to Scunthorpe". I have just realised this is true of myself altough I am pretty sure I have been through Scunthorpe on the train on the way to Grimsby...

    Liverpool Are Doomed - With Or Without Rafa

    Rafa Benitez deserves to be sacked. He’s had six years, hundreds of millions of pounds and Liverpool are worse off now than they were under Gerard Houllier. But if George Gillett and Tom Hicks think that his demise will make any difference to their stricken football club, they are very much...
