IT seems strange to talk about my first game when I’ve no idea when the next one is, but these are strange days indeed. I’m not used to no football. I don’t suppose any of us are. And it’s not as if you can go and see a lower league game or even a kickabout in the...
“SELF-isolate,” they said. “Avoid mass gatherings and stay indoors” they said. “Great,” I said. “That’ll give me more time to write about football… Cancelled, you say?!” Yes, in these uncertain Coronavirus times, the football has been suspended. It is absolutely the...
