Hi It seems former Exeter City Under 16's player Jack Stafford is having a trail at my home town club , Waterford Fc, in the coming days. Anybody any info on him? Seemingly he was at Burnley's academy before joining us then was released.

Saw a programme last week which stated 62% of U.K employees are unhappy in their workplace ( the states had the highest at 72% and millions upon millions are lost each year on sick days. Now we have all been there, anybody who hasn't faked a sick day in his entire employed life either owns his...

Whilst enjoying a trip to SJP last weekend and asked was I writing anything I mentioned a project I had at home I've titled 'Are You Calling Me a Cult", which basically was a book on League of Ireland/Irish National team players. It then occurred to me that nobody (to my knowledge and those I...

Came across this fantastic page dedicated to old grounds throughout the UK. I'm sure some will bring back some memories. https://www.facebook.com/groups/8744082721/

Looking at Soccerbase stats it seems Nards has scored 20 goals in 50 games for us . Good ratio if its right but given the fact he's come on as sub, or gone off early in a lot of these games, hes goals per minutes on pitch ratio must be among the best of any City striker for a long time.

Is it started? ;)

Is this starting it?

Whilst filling up for petrol this morning my eyes came across one of my all time favourite chocolate bars. I haven't eaten a Topic since I'd say 1983. It was just one of those bars you kind of forget about but man it went down nicely with a hot mug of tea and sparked some lovely nostalgia of...

Being in a lovely happy go lucky mood this morning (that's medication for you) I popped in a bit of ELO and got writing to "Mr Blue Sky" Now there are lots of songs that make us feel good for at least 3 minutes at some point in our life "Daydream Believer" or "Friday I'm in Love" run ELO close...

Ok, as an Irishman I know of your intense sporting rivalries with certain nations. I'm guessing the Germans aren't loveable, Argentina wouldn't get a wedding invite and you'd never have the French around for tea. Obviously there are reasons for each therefore I give you England fans a scenario...

Sat down late last night and watched few episode's of The Incredible Hulk from a box set I bought weekend in Exeter. It's tatty , the actings awful but it's loveable. What's your favourite old Tv show? Could it be Magnum's moustache? Lee Majors running 60 miles per hour in slow motion or...

No I'm not talking about the over-rated Kylie song or Miriam Gonzalez; playmate of the year 2004 but those infectious, annoying or wish you'd get out of my damn brain song that you encounter each year. Stuff like Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" (sorry bobby but whats funny about being...

Just wanted to make a point before next Saturday's game. On the afternoon of May 3rd 2003 , in a season that include two chairman who nearly drove the club to ruin, Micheal Jackson, David Blaine and the Uri Geller sideshow, we where relegated as everyone knows after 74 years of league football...

With the birth of Big Brother over ten years ago it seems practically 1 in every 2 programmes on the box is now a reality show. Wife Swap Come Dine With Me Airline Pop Idol How Clean is Your House etc, etc, etc Love it or hate it, you seemingly can't get away from the sodding thing. Just...

When out on the town after a few bottles I do like a spirit or two, or three, or four. Just wondered , when you're in one of those "f*ck it i'll give it a lash" moods, what is your poison of choice? Mine would be either Jack Daniels or Jameson on rocks... Yours?

f*ck sake. narrrwich 1-0 down after 5 mins

An absolute ******* of a neighbour ? Or maybe a sad bitter little man/woman next door, in work or in perhaps a family who drives you insane. Be it the chav newlyweds who invite half the block round for parties until 4am every Satuday night/Sunday morning, or in my case, the "pc correct"...

Twas the night before Christmas, City players in their bed Paul Tisdale was snoring, starting eleven in his head LogieS stocking hung over the fire, with a list for St Nic. “A place up front at Southampton Santa”, that’ll do the trick. In the house of Barry Corr the Irishman dreamt of scoring...
