  2. Ref Watch .. Wright man for the Col U derby ?

    The referee for Saturday's derby match is Kevin Wright from Yaxley near Peterborough. His last Southend appointment was away at Scunthorpe earlier this season. This will be his 6th Southend League match in his 6th season as a League referee, although he missed virtually all of last season...

    Chinese Happy New Year

    Gong hay fat choy everyone! Year of the Ox, for those like me, a good year ahead hopefully!
  4. Ref Watch .... Boxing Day

    Boxing Day brings a quick return to Roots Hall for Pat Miller of Bedfordshire. He was here for our last League win against Leeds, when he put in a decent performance. More of the same, and a similar result, will be most welcome. It will be his third Southend match, the first being last year's...

    Barry Fry

    Seems like we could be up against him in Pre Season, as its rumoured he's interested in the available job at The Daggers! I haven't heard anything about it myself, but their board is full of posts about him and it's supposed to have been mentioned on Sky Sports News.
  7. Ref Watch ..... Stockport County

    After the excesses of Keith Hill last weekend, this Saturday brings an altogether different type of official to the Hall. Man in charge is the (usually) very decent referee Mick Russell from St Albans. He is a very steady official and this will be his 5th Southend match and his third at Roots...

    Aussie NRL Grand Final - Manly Sea Eagles vs Melbourne Storm

    From Sydney Morning Hearld THE day has come at last. A hundred years after rugby league began, the two best teams of 2008 - and 2007, for that matter - are set for battle. Two cities have a stake in the hostilities between foes whose histories could not be more different. The Manly Sea...

    Great question on Radio Five today

    I was driving back from Dundee to Aberdeen this afternoon and listening to Radio 5. One of the questions was if you could sign a player from your Clubs PAST.....who would it be? The deal is that they would be at the same level as they were in there hay day for your club. For me....it would...
  10. Tilsons talent factory

    having despatched a load of players off to the championship (and 125k for Hoops) Sir Steve puts together the most exciting young squad in the league... a centre mid pairing of Moussa (19) and Grant (21) prove thay can win points at this level against hardened and established lge 1 pros and we...

    Season Card Faults

    Did anyone else have problems getting through the turnstiles yesterday. I have had a season card since thay were first introduced and never had a problem. However yesterday I tried to get into the South Upper after changing from the West during pre season and a nice alarm went off with a...

    Sunburn!

    Had a rare day off yesterday and was cajouled into watching my daughter play netball in a tornamount. Normally, this is the wifes area but as the beloved was having her hair done, I stepped into the breach as it was and found myself running along the line, baying instructions to my unimpressed...

    Hay Fever

    I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but my hay fever has been so bad in the last 24 hours that I've had to trap myself in the isolation booth of my study with the windows and doors closed. Just leaving this stuffy sanctuary for a moment, even for a wee, precipitates a sneezing fit...

    Leeds United

    The dream that they lived under Peter Ridsdale has long since faded into a memory but, for the supporters of Leeds United, it's taking a lot longer to wake up from the nightmare that followed. Defeat at Wembley to a spirited and creative Doncaster Rovers means that it's another season in the...
  15. The ESB Report (Sorry FBM)

    Had to write an 800 word report on the game last night for an assesment, and here it is: DONCASTER held Southend to a goal-less draw at Roots Hall to take a slight advantage in the League One play-off semi final. Rovers, who finished three places and four points ahead of their Essex...
  16. Ref Watch .... Port Vale

    Probably just as well we had an experienced level headed referee at Tranmere, some of the keen-to-get-on upstarts would probably have carded Macca and Bailey. Anyway for the final round of normal matches, Leeds get their customary Select Group referee and we have Andy Woolmer from Northampton...

    Punching Above Their Weight

    We must all have one. Which member of your team is scoring more runs than their skills suggest, or taking wickets frequently when they really shouldn't be. My nominee is Rhys Thay, my wicketkeeper. His batting is proficient/wonderful yet he averages just shy of 50 in level III OD this season...

    Warning to anyone backing Kauto Star or Denman for the Gold Cup on Friday!

    I've heard a massive rumour that Paul Nicholls' stable is under somewhat of a virus. Some infected hay has got into the yard by all accounts. Might be a load of old bollox, but you never know do you. Noland ran a complete stinker yesterday, and the Nicholls team haven't produced a winner yet...
  19. David Haye

    Did anybody else just watch him completely destroy Macarinelli in roughly 45 seconds? The first round was cagey, but Haye came out of the blocks in the first and tear Enzo apart. Haye becomes the undisputed champion and will now move up to Heavyweight... I'm expecting him to make big waves in a...
  20. Ref Watch ..... x 2

    After the predicted antics from Danny McDreadful at Orient, what do the next two matches bring in the way of officials? I'm doing these two together as they are in many ways very similar. Both are in their first season as a League referee, both have refereed Southend once before. Both are quite...
