His fights against Frazier & Ali were stand out events in a golden age of boxing. Loved the documentary ‘When we were Kings’.
He came across as a good guy with a sense of humour - named all his five sons George.
RIP George. |

Best wishes to Dave for a full and speedy recovery.
I always buy a copy from him in SAR but also subscribe to the digital version which gives me a wonderful archive of copies while keeping the Mrs happy by not storing printed copies anymore.
Nice idea on selling copies in the Crown & Sceptre, but unfortunately it's shut for refurbishment over our next 3 home matches starting with Cardiff. |

I'm another in the Jimmy Dunne camp, mainly as he has been our biggest attacking threat over the season. I'd have Smyth, another player who always gives 100%, second and Saito, third.
Young player, Morgan. A clear winner. |

Thanks Clive. Great report on an exciting match.
If we conceded the two goals Leeds did, I'd be livid. The first resulting from Aaronson assisting a one-two with Koki, and Smyth given the freedom of the School End prior to his cross for our second.
Instead the Leeds goals resulted from two unlucky deflections off Morgan where a different roll of the ball may have resulted in better outcomes for us.
Hopefully some deflections will fall our way in the remaining games as these things are supposed to even out over the season. |

Wormholt for a year then moved to Pope John in White City when that opened.

The most gutted I've ever been after a match not involving QPR or England. That was a brilliant French team containing stars such as Platini, Tigana, Giresse, Tresor and Rocheteau. The injustice of the incident with a goal kick being awarded spurred them on to take a 3-1 lead in extra-time but the Germans fought back to 3-3 by the final whistle and of course won on penalties.
As a post-script the whole world except the Germans were elated that Italy won the Final 3-1 and the core of that French team went on to win the 1984 Euros. |

You should have a big say in the style of the makeover Clive as you and the LFW crew have funded most of it! |

With regard to 'Ilias Chair Module 1.1' teams normally defend against this by having a midfielder or winger close by inside the full back to force Chair across the box if he tries to cut inside. I felt Dunne was left very isolated for the goal especially as Murphy also had the pace to beat him on the outside if he was shown the byline. |

Thanks Clive.
Sounds like we got what we deserved, 'null points'.
Despite the grim reading you still managed to make me laugh with the brilliant line,
'Saito, and later Yang Min-Hyeok, were on the end of artillery fire so heavy I thought Lyse Doucet and Orla Guerin were going to rock up and start covering it ...''  |

Thanks Clive. Your report fully reflects the enjoyment of being there on Friday night. Fantastic entertainment and, as others have mentioned, great to see smiles on the players faces. They are certainly the most likeable bunch we've had for a long time.
Loved the line; '21 different scorers - like Katie Price’s house on Father’s Day'. |

Yes Parker had a tremendous leap and must have been one of the shortest centre backs to play at the English top level. I remember a match against Arsenal where Alan Smith hardly won a header playing against him. Although he played at right back for England and Man U, I always thought he was better at centre back. |

Thanks Andrew. Fantastic report.
I thought we had a strong bench on Tuesday night and great to see Clive has a very strong bench of match reporters too. |

Stood and watched it. Should have attacked it and cleared it for a corner. |
