The mirror houses the sternest jury
At the outset, let me be very clear here – when you only win one game out of three, two of which were against teams who failed to rise a gallop last season, you can really blame nobody but yourself. When you have parity at worst going down the stretch in the two defeats and…

An epic and equally upsetting weekend
If anybody has become bored or annoyed by my re-posting match text commentary in recent weeks I apologise. It’s my way of dealing with Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) and/or separation anxiety, whichever you want to call it. From not being able to attend matches it is desired to be at. Without wanting to play…
