There was a whole choice of games in the NSW Winter Super League

There was a whole choice of games in the NSW Winter Super League. We settled on Hajduk v Fairfield and witnessed five dismissals in the senior and reserve game that proceeded it. News of a truce in Balkan hostilities had obviously not reached these parts.Dad’s respite from the endless theme park visits in Queensland over the next few days was a weekend double header, albeit some 300 miles apart. Bundaberg’s 3-1 loss to the league leaders, Wynnum, on the Saturday night was followed by Toowoomba against Ipswich the following afternoon which ended in a tepid 1-1 draw.Making for Melbourne, the following weekend, it was just as well that I had the foresight to contact the Victoria State League but there is more chance of their fixtures being listed in English papers, including the Australians pools coupons, than in Saturday’s edition of Melbourne’s top paper, The Age.

The obvious choice was the western suburb of St Albans for the First Division promotion game between West Vale and Oakleigh. The hosts won 1-0 bringing my Australian venture to an end.And so to Ireland, the last stop with a bonus after watching Glenavon fall to Kilmarnock in the last minute of a Uefa Cup tie was an Irish First Division derby between Carrick Rangers and Ballymena I was out of pocket but otherwise happy Some people inject themselves. My drug has left me with my health intact, but, is my sanity?. When David James collided with Martin Keown one minute into his appearance as an England substitute on Wednesday, the implications went beyond the 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands.

When David James collided with Martin Keown one minute into his appearance as an England substitute on Wednesday, the implications went beyond the 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands. Keown is doubtful for tomorrow’s start of the Premiership ­ but James may miss the whole season.
West Ham’s new signing has damaged knee ligaments and will be missing for at least three months following the collision. An examination yesterday detected medial ligament trouble ­ and possibly cruciate damage, too, which would mean a worse prognosis.James may need a keyhole operation, and the Hammers manager, Glenn Roeder, is already planning for being without James for the first part of the season. Yesterday he was looking for short-term alternatives: Shaka Hislop may earn a recall after the setback to his status at the club when James was signed from Aston Villa, while Steven Bywater may have to be brought back from a loan spell at Wolves. West Ham will seek compensation from the Football Association for James’s injury, which amounts to around £100,000 a month.

Keown is concerned whether he will be fit for Arsenal’s Premiership opener at Middlesbrough. “I really thought I’d done something serious,” he said yesterday. “But I’m hoping now that I’ve just jarred the knee through over-extending it and we will see what happens in the next few days.”The ankle injury which forced Boudewijn Zenden out of Wednesday’s game does not appear to be serious. The Dutchman, hoping to make his League debut for Chelsea this weekend after his £7.5m move from Barcelona, limped off minutes before half-time after a fierce challenge by Jamie Carragher.The Football League has rejected Wimbledon’s application to relocate to Milton Keynes.

Brazil put themselves back on course by beating Paraguay 2-0. They stay fourth in the group but close the gap on third-placed Paraguay.Ipswich have completed the £3.1m signing of Real Mallorca’s Nigerian winger Finidi George, who is eligible to play at Sunderland tomorrow.The Leicester captain, Matt Elliott, has signed a one-year extension to his contract, which has three years left.The Football Association will not take any action against Sheffield Wednesday after four fans ran on to the pitch in Sunday’s defeat by Burnley.
