  1. Ref Watch ..... Oldham

    Man in charge on Saturday is Keith Hill from Hertfordshire. He is the FA's Regional Referees Manager for the East of England. Does that mean he is a top official? I'm afraid not. He is in his 12th season and is, in my opinion, way past his best (which wasn't very good anyway). I'm sure his...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ricky Otto

    Next up for election to the Hall of Fame is Ricky Otto. Ricky Otto had it all: skill, flair and funny looking hair. He was signed by B****y F*y for £100,000, a fee that seems suspiciously high for a Leyton Orient reserve. I won't make any libellous suggestions about brown envelopes...

    Any truth in this WW2 story?

    Judging by how far behind eveyone else I seem to be in getting jokes and stuff sent to me, I don't know if any of you have seen this story. It seems very far fetched to me, just wondered if anyone knows if there's any truth in it or is this a hangover from last April Fools' Day or something? ;)...
  6. Breaking News Ron's blog 03/03/09

    I feel there are more issues I would like to share with supporters in relation to football matters, which includes acknowledging the very capable backroom staff who get little credit for maintaining a well oiled operation. That topic will be on another agenda as many fans’ only point of contact...

    If Mr Salmond gets his own way

    Alex Salmond says we should go our separate ways, with Scotland taking the oil. But would Scotland be any better off? According to Tyler's fag packet, a fiscally independent Scotland looks like this (2006-07 figures- for derivation see footnote): Domestic (non-North Sea) taxes: £40bn plus...

    Refereeing his second Southend cup tie of the season is Keith Hill. Very experienced, been refereeing for ages, nothing to prove - going nowhere (often the best sort).

    Spread Eagle makes the Kent regional-version Sun

    In Steve Howard's column today (one of the better writers in the paper), he talks about the England fans and mentions one "about the beer of the Spread Eagle, Southend" So, own up - who went?
