Ironsides GSA 2 St. Andrews 2 A scrappy game in the mud which halted the Ironsides winning streak. This was a match devoid of much quality and deserves to be forgotten if truth be told. Click to continue reading...

NPL 1 Battersea Ironsides GSA 6 From the moment Ironsides arrived 90 minutes before kick off and gained a psychological march by stealing the Home sides dressing room, things were looking good. Click to continue reading...

Battersea Ironsides GSA 6 Shirley Town 1 We were beginning to get a little worried as UKFF's official team couldn't buy a win. But 2 weeks in football is a long time. Since late October the Irons have scored 13 goals conceding 3. This week they entertained Shirley Town in the Junior League Cup Round 2 and here's what happened. Click to continue reading...

Fetcham FC 1 Battersea Ironside 6 Simply exceptional all round. After last weeks drubbing in the pouring rain -the Ironsides embarked on their longest journey of the season with just a bare 11 when unannounced absence of some let their team mates down and the pouring rain was company again.

Battersea Ironside in need of some divine intervention Its been an historic weekend with drama unmatched and humiliation personified. We have had Spurs steal victory against a resurgent Liverpool. We have had Hamilton steal a World title from a dejected Massa. Click to continue reading...

The Irons lose again They say when your luck is not in its not in but in the case of the Ironsides, man it must be on vacation in Fiji !!. When you have an effort cleared off the line that seemed destined to goal, it aint in: when you have a one on one well saved, it aint in; when you dominate a half 70-30% and still go in at half time goalless, it aint in; and also when perhaps one of the leagues best strikers, get a call an hour before the game saying his parents are getting divorced, man its time to give up the ghost.

Battersea Ironside 1 Weston Green Sports 2 An absolutely dreadful and admitted ( by the ref -post match ) mistake saw Weston Green Sports awarded a late penalty to steal a 2-1 and undeserved win vs the Ironsides. Click to continue reading...

A crazy day at the office! Firstly Ref drops out Thursday evening ( no notice or warning ) so I had to sort which I did – John SAGE was his name....... Note that as will become apparent shortly. Click to continue reading...

NPL Reserves 2 - The Irons 6 It seems to becoming the 11th Commandment -"Thou shalst give your opponents a two goal lead" as yet again the The Irons did just that for the 3rd week running and this time after just 15 minutes !!! NPL came out all guns blazing and their second goal was certainly a bullet from 40 yards though legend will say 60! Click to continue reading...

The Irons 4 Lambeth 5 As it's early days and the Irons are a new team, we'll go easy on them for now, truth is, they do deserve a coating for the friendly defeat on Saturday, but on a positive note there's room for improvement, and thanks to UK Football Finder they have found a few gems. They also looked the dogs in their new UKFF sponsored kit! Click to continue reading...

Thanks to Brian Barwick and the FA anyone who was even mildly interested in the England v Czech Republic friendly had to find somewhere or someone who has Setanta Sports - the backwater satellite broadcaster who has won the rights to show England's friendly and World Cup qualifying games.

Sad to report, that I was among the suffers who'd tuned in to witness the demise of Barwick. Click to continue reading...

After watching the Olympic semi-final between Argentine and Brazil, I couldn't help but notice how poor Ronaldinho played. He was, without doubt the worst player on the pitch, and in my opinion should of been taken off at half-time.

He was simply on the pitch by reputation alone. About an hour into the game, Brazil took of Rafael Sobis and brought on Alexander Pato. Click to continue reading...

After a couple of days dominated by the departure of England cricket captain Michael Vaughan and the appointment of Kevin Pietersen it got me to thinking how important is the captain of a football side? In cricket the captain is vital to the success of the team, he picks the 11 players that go out to play and decides the tactics that side will use.

Hands up if you hate food shopping.

Me too.

It's a miserable fact of life though isn't it. It's got to be done.

That task and a variety of others are the reason I didn't get time to post yesterday.

My lover says I have a "supermarket face" (which coincidentally is very similar to his "going up hills face"). Click to continue reading...
