Hamilton Saint

Real Sociedad equalize. Saints' defensive error gives them a gift. 1-1

Rodriguez went down on the edge of the box. Looking for a free-kick or penalty.

Rodriguez makes a direct run down the left, turns it back and Schneiderlin has a good shot on goal - but it's wide.

Lovren makes a timely sliding tackle on Castro in the area.

Shaw and Lallana are "sporting" new haircuts, says Blackmore.

Saints have a corner. Goalie misses it, but Hooiveld has a tap at the ball. It is cleared off the line.

Shaw runs down the left on an overlap and cuts the ball back - nobody there!

To score goals, apparently!

Rodriguez runs past the two centre-backs and has a left-footed shot on goal.

Saints pressing high up the pitch.

Roy Hodgson at SMS, apparently.

Direct move - ball over the top, and Lallana gets in behind and smashes a volley into the net.

Lallana scores. 1-0.

The commentator said so on SP.

Lambert shoots from 50 yards!

Wanyama and Schneiderlin are playing deep, in front of the back four.

It's back!

I had it going for ten minutes, then it cut out just before kick-off! I'll try re-connecting.

I was back in England last week and I found something in a supermarket there called Aussiemite. Is this a renamed version of Vegemite, or something different?

In the early 60s, my younger sister and I went to Hythe Primary. My brother and older sister went to Noadswood. It's weird reading this stuff right now - I'll be in UK for a school-reunion next Saturday (with boys I was at boarding school with from 1965-1969). And I'll be in Hythe on Wednesday (and So'ton from Tuesday to Thursday)!

In this neck of the woods, the phrase "world-class" is often applied to some aspect of Toronto. Its use usually sounds like a form of rather desperate boosterism - if you keep on saying it loud enough, then it must be true. But if something is world-class, then you don't need to keep calling attention to the fact.

Well, that's impressive!

Interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

I'm from Hythe, too (1960-1968 ). I went to Hythe Primary School and St. Mary's College. I emigrated to Canada in August 1969. I live in ... um .... Hamilton.

You're probably thinking of **** Cheney (former U.S. V-P), who was Chairman of the Board and C.E.O. of Halliburton from 1995-2000.
