We played Brighton at home a couple of weeks before the Man U game. Rennie took charge and IIRC didn't blow for a foul in the first 15 mins or so. In the Man U game every time we touched one of their players they fell over expecting a free kick. It really brought home the way referees were expected to officiate differently when it came to PL teams, And I don't think it got any better.

Author Frederick Forsyth has died aged 86.

I must admit I have not read any of his books, but I did enjoy many of the film adaptations of his work.

My Dad was a big fan, so I read all of his early books, the best being Day of the Jackal, IMO. RIP.

Brian Wilson. One of the greats. RIP

Sad news. Glad I got to see him on the first Pet Sounds revival tour in 2002, when he was still pretty decent live.

There would never have been The Beach Boys had it not been for Brian.
May he rest in peace.

She wasn't everyone's cup of tea but I thought she was quite funny. I used to enjoy Kim and Aggie with their cleaning.

Hopefully she made a few quid before this sort of gig was taken over by YouTube influencers.
