    Would Teachers Get Away With It Nowadays

    My daughter often asks me what my teachers were like when I was at school and like any good dad I try to make it humourous when describing what some of my old lot were like. The one that always jumps to mind was a Mr Evans, a PE teacher with a firery Welsh temper. Actually, he was a great person...

  3. Family Bonanza Day v York City

    Another good initative by Southend United for the match v York City on October 27 and let's hope it is well supported. I am a mad keen Southend United fan but also double up as a rugby coach on Sundays. I will be bringing a party of 25 from Basildon U15's into the North Bank for the...

    Twickenham Double Header

    Yesterday I missed the Southend game as I had hospitality at Twickenham for the double header, Wasps v Harlequins & Saracens v London Irish, having never been to a rugby match live I was pleasantly surprised. I won't go into much detail but the following makes rugby a great day out and shows...

    Drinking while watching

    Following on from the safe standing thread just wondering opinions on being able to watch football live while drinking like they can in rugby or cricket - surely this would have much added revenue benefit during games for clubs!!! I could see myself and me pals going through 2 maybe 3 pints...

    Could Being a Sports Club Be The Way Forward

    It seems a popular concept in many parts of Europe and it seems to work very well for the likes of Red Star, Partizan and Dynamo Zegrab. I only found out today that Barcelona and Bayern Munich were sports clubs rather than just football clubs so I was wondering, could it work here. As an...

  7. Play-offs rethink?

    Yes like everyone else I'm still feeling deflated after failing to secure promotion after such a promising start to the season and searching for reasons to explain how and why we blew it, but something that crossed my mind before the Crewe games was shouldn't the team finishing in the highest...

    A-League Grand Final 2012

    Rangers going into administration bad news for the English?

    The Scotland football team, the Scottish rugby team all repeatedly fail on the world stage. The Royal Bank of Scotland had to be bailed out by the English tax-payers, now Glasgow Rangers is in administration as the only way it could sustain itself was if it joined the English Premier League...

    Streaming sport on a mobile phone

    I'm going away next weekend and wont be near a tv and desperately dont want to miss the Ireland and England rugby games. I've got a Samsung touch screen phone and wondering if there was a way to stream the games live on them. Never done it before so dont know where to start, so does anyone know...

  11. Rugby World Cup 2011

    Well not a great start by England at the moment, giving away too many penalties although I do feel the ref is being a bit one sided but same old England really, losing our discipline and getting punished accordingly.

    State Of Origin

    Every second car has a maroon flag on it and every other person is wearing a maroon shirt. Yes, it's that time of year again as Queensland plays New South Wales at Rugby League in the State Of Origin series. Mad to imagine I know but this is HUGE here. The best way I can describe it is to say...

    Thank You

    I posted earlier after some advice and help and the response was truly humbling. I rarely choke up about anything but tonight I'm having to watch rugby and talk about brown sauce and other such manly things to stop me getting all emotional. Three pm's left me speechless and I thank you from the...

    Most amazing match I've ever seen

    I'll always be a Shrimper first and foremost and if they ever played Brisbane I'd be wearing blue not orange. However yesterdays Grand Final is the most amazing bit of drama I've ever seen at a football match in my 30 years of going to games. For anyone who didn't get up at 6am to watch it on...

  16. Blackout Rugby

    How is everyone doing on Blackout now? It's been a while since we've had any threads. I think I've probably reached my highest ranking ever after my weekend game. Ranked #1 in Essex, #5 in England and #33 in the World. I know my team isn't actually that good, but it's nice to be that highly...

    If you had the opportunity to put 5 things into Room 101, and thus consign it/them to a fate worse than death, what would on your list? Note* Ron Martin is not allowed on anyone's list. The same applies to Leyton Orient, Colchester United, and West Ham. Mine would probably be this: 1...

  19. Safe Standing- Government seeking advice on laws to review

    A message from the Football Supporters Federation. The new coalition government has pledged to scrap unnecessary and “nannying” laws. We believe that the ban on standing at football grounds in the top two divisions is just this. In England and Wales, you can stand in rugby grounds, at Speedway...
