Left distraught Everything to play for AS WE go into the final week of the league season, there's still everything to play for. Although East End WMC have claimed the Division One title, many of the other issues have yet to be resolved. 21/04/2006 WITH Alan Shearer's career hanging in the balance and Michael Owen's participation in the World Cup still uncertain, injuries are a hot topic among all football fans at the moment. 07/04/2006 THIS column has, unfortunately, become about as predictable as Sunderland's season so far. Top footballers and glamour models go together IN A week where Liverpool are playing two games in three days and Alan Pardew has slammed the fixture congestion caused by West Ham's FA Cup run, most players in The Northern Echo Darlington Sunday Invitation League are just hoping for a match. Frost puts league on hold WITH football pitches in Darlington almost as frosty as the relationship between Jose Mourinho and Barcelona's fans, there has only been one game in The Northern Echo Sunday Invitation League since the last column. 24/02/2006 SUNDAY league stars have been using their mobile phones to get their kicks long before Premiership copycats reportedly followed suit. Copper the better side in the second half IT WAS arguably the biggest game of Copper Beech's season so far; the proverbial six-pointer, and probably at least a six-pointer if we won. Reffin' hell Another Sunday, another weekend without a game and once again it's the lack of a referee that is the cause. It's a family affair IT HAD barely been an epic cup run full of thrills, spills and Holsten Pils, but RAC's involvement in the Division Two League Cup came to an end on Sunday at the quarter final stage. Model T made to wait for first loss TWO weeks ago the column predicted that unbeaten Model T could break down against RAC but as it turned out the referee broke down instead, as a midweek injury to the official saw the match postponed. Rub-a-dub-subbed! RAC'S 3-1 defeat to Haughton two weeks ago was disappointing for both the team and myself. Wake me up when September ends IT'S unlikely that Green Day had The Northern Echo Sunday Invitation League in mind when they wrote their latest single, Wake Me Up When September Ends, but it is widely accepted the divisional tables only truly begin taking shape from October onwards. New season, new hopes, new kits SO a new season has begun. King goal helps make Axa FC history EVERY football club has dates that are synonymous with their history, a day that is set in stone as a day which shaped the history of the side. For Manchester United, February 6, 1958 saw the tragedy of the Munich Air Disaster; League One strugglers Nottingham Forest won the second of two European Cups on May 28 1980; on May 25 1996, Darlington appeared at Wembley for the first time. THEY think it's all over - it isn't yet! This was intended to be the final King of the Wing of the season but after last Sunday's game against Brown Trout was postponed Axa's players still have another week to go before they can put their feet up, let their hair down and not worry about what they eat or drink for a few weeks. Pitch even too wet for 'Brown Trouts' PERHAPS it was a bit of a giveaway that the referee was stood in full kit at a papershop some distance away from the ground, newspaper and pint of milk in arm and talking to a bloke walking his dog. But I was one of the many disappointed spectators who turned up at Brinkburn Road two weeks ago to learn that the Division Three cup final between Brown Trout and Mitek and Wheatsheaf Albion had been postponed. Squeaky bum time SIR ALEX Ferguson once described this stage of the season as "squeaky bum time". At Axa FC most weeks is squeaky bum time, especially if striker Jon Roote has eaten a curry the night before a game, but there's no doubt that this is when the season really hots up. Axa Insurance FC - back in action LADIES and gentlemen, Axa Insurance FC have a game this Sunday. |
