Last week saw a Football League club close to signing a convicted rapist, out on licence so not having completed his time contrary to popular misrepresentation of the facts. A good friend of a friend, Malin, some of you will have met her before and after matches, asked to produce a guest post on the subject. That […]

A change of guest, focus, and style for this piece. Following BtM’s look to the future Neal Milsom looks back, having swapped life in London for the land down under. Thanks Neal, for writing from the heart. Well, my first blog, and from as far away as you can get from home. Home is a funny word […]
