7 DAY TV GUIDE

Shefﬁeld and stars Emma Rigby, Polly Walker, Pippa Haywood and Natalie Gavin, supported by actors including Jonas Armstrong (Robin Hood) and Iain Glen (Downton Abbey). The show follows four very different women struggling to cope with having a loved one serving time in prison. Hollyoaks beauty Emma Rigby plays pregnant Gemma, whose perfect life comes crashing down when armed police storm her house and arrest her husband, Steve (Jonas Armstrong), on suspicion of murder. Alone, scared

and submerged into an unknown world, Gemma struggles to make sense of the bewildering judicial system but she’s certain of one thing; her husband’s innocence. When Gemma visits Steve for the ﬁrst time, she meets three other women: Francesca (Polly Walker), a career criminal’s wife, Lou (Natalie Gavin), a drug dealing young mum, and Harriet (Pippa Haywood), a visitor who sits outside the prison – never venturing in. Each have their own story, their own secrets... Commented Andy

Copley’s Column

Celebrity Big Brother ending is a bit like losing a loved one for me as it has been compulsive viewing for the missus and me for the past three weeks. Channel five has made a much better job of producing this show than channel four did previously. I was a bit shocked when Caron actually voted twice for eventual winner, Denise Welsh, thankfully not on my phone. My idea of the winner, American movie star, Michael Madsen, although making the final lost out to a loose woman who at fifty three years of age should not have gone topless on national television, particularly when all the other women in the show had much better credentials, and non celeb Frankie Cocozza, whose revelations about his antics in the toilet evidenced why this show is put on after the nine o’clock threshold. Of course, as usual, as soon as the show ends, the gutter press bring all the skeletons out of the cupboard. I feel sorry for Denise’s husband, top actor Tim Healey, having to wake up to lurid stories about his wife’s infidelities and stories from Michael Madsen inferring that she had made many amorous approaches to him, a happily married man, during their time in the house. The golden rule has to be that if there is anything in your life, past or present, that you would be embarrassed were it to come into the public domain, then steer well clear of appearing in these fly on the wall reality shows. Our commitment to top quality entertainment took us once again to Hilltop Sports and Social Club where a group unknown to us, The Piggies, who hail from Cleethorpes, were appearing. We went on the recommendation of concert secretary Dick Armitage, who had been impressed after seeing them whilst on an away trip to a Sheffield United game. Obviously this was a case of seeing the Piggies twice in one day. The club was packed to capacity and were regally entertained to sounds of the sixties, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Searchers , The Monkees, Cliff Richard and a creditable impression of one of the most difficult singer to sound like, Roy Orbison. Many people spoke to me about how much they

had enjoyed the evening with the Bjorn Again girls, Agnetha and Frida, two weeks previously. These talented girls certainly made a huge impression. I was pleased to see that my report on the evening was pinned to the club noticeboard. Such is the excitement locally concerning division one of the football league, with both Sheffield clubs and fellow Yorkshire team Huddersfield involved in a fight with two other teams for the second automatic promotion place, that the F.A. Cup has not had the usual excitement. Both Sheffield clubs were however given the opportunity to sample how good the opposition in the higher division is, and it must have filled the Blades with much trepidation after receiving a severe thrashing at the hands of Birmingham City, losing four goals to nil. Sheffield Wednesday fared considerably better against Blackpool, and would have won the game had they not conceded an injury time penalty, the game ending in a one all draw. However, they were in the hat for the next round and if they can win the replay at Hillsborough, will once again be the away team at Everton, the team that beat Wednesday in the 1966 cup final. What sweet revenge it would be if we could knock them out of the competition this year. John Sheridan, the scorer for Wednesday of the goal that beat Manchester United in the Rumbelows Cup Final has been having a bad season managing Chesterfield F.C., going seventeen games without a win, has at last turned it round winning two consecutive games. The board at Chesterfield have stood by him, wisely in my view, and will have come as somewhat of a surprise, given that ex Wednesday chairman Dave Allen is a big decision maker there, and he was the man who sacked Paul Sturrock, a very unpopular decision at the time. I had a chat with sixties’ pop singer Dave Berry in the Civic Centre in Dronfield this week. Now in his early seventies, he is still rocking and told me that the previous twelve months have been his most successful in a career spanning over fifty years. On his own admission, Dave is a mere monotone singer but his stagecraft is second to none.

Weekly Wit With... ALBERT SNODGRASS

I said to my housemate, ‘Wanna hear a joke?’ He goes ‘Alright then.’ ‘What’s the difference between a toilet and a fridge?’ ‘I don’t know,’ he said. ‘You’re disgusting.’ My wife just called me.She said, “The two kids want you to take them Bowling on Saturday, then afterwards they want you to take them to the cinema.” “It’s either one or the other,” I said, “otherwise it’s too expensive.” “Okay,” she replied. “Which one do you prefer?” I said, “David.” I took my 12-year-old son camping at the weekend. As we sat around the fire he said, “Dad, I need a number two.” “Go and have one then,” I said. “That’s the beauty of camping, you can go to the toilet anywhere you want and you can’t get into trouble.” He walked off and came back a few minutes later. “Where did you have one?” I asked. He said, “In your car.” I only had 4 pints last night and this morning I’ve got a terrible hangover. That’s the last time I’m drinking whisky. Bob and Dave are at the bar. “The wife’s not speaking to me,” says Bob. “What did you do?” says Dave. “She asked me for a hundred quid to go to the beauty farm.” “And you refused?” “Nah, I gave her a thousand.” Today, I’m going to drink a lot of wine, play a bit of football, speak in a Northern Irish accent and sleep with Miss World. Saturday’s always bring out the Best in me. My dog Minton swallowed a shuttlecock the other day. Bad Minton. The Murphys are giving their first dinner party in their posh new house. Once most of the guests have left, Mrs. Murphy asks her neighbour if she did everything correctly. “It was perfect,” says the neighbour, “well almost: there were no sugar tongs.” “Sugar tongs?” “Well,” says the neighbour, “when the men go to the toilet, very few of them wash their hands after handling their you-know-whats, and then they use their fingers to take sugar lumps from the bowl for their coffee. That’s why you need sugar tongs.” Mrs. Murphy takes this advice to heart and after her next dinner party she asks her neighbour once again if she did everything correctly. “It was perfect again,” says the neighbour, “but why didn’t you follow my advice about the sugar tongs?” “I did,” says Mrs. Murphy, “I hung them up right beside the toilet.”

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

La Befana Witch In Italian folklore, Befana is an old, wrinkled woman who delivers presents to children throughout Italy on the night of January 5 (Epiphany Eve) in a way similar to Santa Claus. Epiphany Eve is the night before the Three Wise Men are said to have arrived at the stable in Bethlehem. Befana was sweeping her home when the Three Wise Men approached and asked her for directions to the stable. Befana had previously lost an Witches of Pendle infant child and decided to seek out Jesus herself. She Many people have asked my opinion on The Pendle eventually met Jesus and presented him with gifts. Witches. The trials of the Pendle witches are possibly Since this encounter she has brought presents to all the most famous witch trials in English history.

A similar event occurred when Alizon asked farmer John Mitton for work, when he refused Alizon SPANISH TUITION threw dung at him. Soon after he dropped dead. Roger Nowell, the JP for Pendle, started to take an interest and his investigation led to the execution of those associated with Mother Demdike. They were hung. Roger Nowell falsiﬁed evidence because he was convinced both Alizon and Mother Demdike were dealing in witchcraft. Witches This article is about Witches. It is particularly focused on how a person earns the title of ‘Witch.’ It appears that many people were hung for the crime of witchcraft either without any proof at all or as a result of hearsay.

Salem Witches In Salem, Massachusetts (1692-1693) there were 5 men and 14 women executed by hanging for having dealings with witchcraft. Betty Parris and her cousin Abigail Williams, the daughter and niece of the Reverend Samuel Parris, began to exhibit strange symptoms. They began to have ﬁts and their bodies became contorted. They made strange noises, complained of being pricked with pins and claimed to have seen demonic creatures. Other girls in the town began to exhibit similar symptoms and so the townsfolk decreed that there was a coven of witches at work. Accused women were

PETS ARE YOUR RABBITS HAPPY? Rabbits are the country’s third most popular pet, numbering around 1.7 million, yet they are also one of our most misunderstood pets according to the PDSA Animal Wellbeing (PAW) Report 2011. The Report, which is the largest survey of its kind ever conducted in the UK, found that rabbit owners scored just 53 out of a possible 100 when it came to meeting their pet’s five welfare needs, scoring much lower than cat and dog owners. Sean Wensley, PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, says: “Sadly there is plenty of room for improvement in the way we care for our pet rabbits – there is a lot of misunderstanding about what their needs are, and how best to meet them. To help rabbit owners, Sean has put together some tips on improving rabbits’ health and wellbeing. These are based on the five welfare needs, which all pets need to be healthy and happy. Additionally, UK pet owners have a legal duty to meet these five needs under the Animal Welfare Act. 1. Environment , Rabbits should be housed in accommodation that allows them to move around freely, rear up on their back legs and stretch out

Companionship is another area of major concern for our pet rabbits – they are highly social animals and need the company of other rabbits, yet over 1.1million live alone. Keeping rabbits with guinea pigs isn’t recommended as they need the company of their own species, and rabbits can often bully and injure guinea pigs. The best combination is a neutered male with a neutered female. If you have a lonely rabbit, get advice about how to safely introduce a new friend to prevent ﬁghting, and get them neutered to prevent unwanted litters. 5. Health – the need to be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease Around 900,000 pet rabbits have never been

vaccinated, putting them at risk of fatal diseases such as myxomatosis. Neutering not only prevents unwanted babies, it can prevent serious diseases – up to 80% of un-neutered female rabbits can develop cancer of the uterus. If you haven’t already, register your rabbit with a vet and make sure they are vaccinated and neutered. Check them daily for any signs of ill health, especially under the tail during warm weather for signs of maggots.

comfortably in all directions. An exercise run, ideally permanently attached to their home, should allow them to run, not just hop. 2. Diet – the need for a suitable diet The PAW Report revealed some serious problems in the way that many rabbits are being fed in the UK. A rabbit’s diet should consist of at least their own body size in good quality hay (separate from their bedding) every day, or constant access to growing grass. This is essential for wearing down their teeth, which grow constantly. They should also receive a handful of suitable fresh greens morning and evening and a tablespoon of rabbit nuggets (or two if the rabbit weighs over 3.5kg). Feeding an appropriate diet will help to prevent dental disease, which is very common in rabbits. Rabbit “muesli” (a mix of seeds and ﬂakes) is not recommended as many rabbits leave the bits they don’t like, resulting in them missing out on key nutrients. High sugar treats, such as carrots and fruit, should only be fed occasionally and in small quantities. Changes to a rabbit’s diet must be made gradually (over at least a week), or this can cause digestive problems. 3. Behaviour – the need to be able to express normal behaviour Rabbits, like any other pet, need mental stimulation and are more intelligent than people often realise. They need daily opportunities to dig, run and play to prevent boredom. Give your rabbits plenty of items to explore, and change them regularly so they don’t become bored. This also gives you a chance to clean them. A planter ﬁlled with earth is ideal for digging, whilst tunnels and cardboard boxes are great to hide and play in. 4. Companionship – The need to live with, or apart from, other animals

REVIEW:ALL TIME LOW by KT Evans

PREVIEW: SNOW PATROL by KT Evans

Pop punk seems to just be ‘one of those’ genres… like marmite, it splits the opinions of music lovers who argue it seems so close to the pop charts it may as well be The Wanted’s next best friend. Either that or you love it, which All Time Low’s sold out gig at Sheffield’s O2 Academy on 23rd January seemed to indicate…hell Sheffield just loves Pop Punk! Mid way through their tour of the United Kingdom, All Time Low well and truly smashed it with a live performance to match their character and enthusiasm on stage. Stemming from Maryland USA, Zach, Rian, Jack and Alex aka All Time Low have quickly become one of the most celebrated bands to come out of the 21st century. Forming in 2003, they have won over fans across the world, resulting in numerous sold out shows as well as a British O2 Academy tour to match. Warming up the marauds of screaming teenage fans (less a criticism, more a dedicated fan base the band can rely on for full support…to say the least) We Are The In Crowd and The Maine provided tip top support for All Time Low and served as a useful vocal chord exercise for the crowd. Although appearing slightly stiff on stage however, the two groups are tipped as pretty big names within Pop Punk, with Kerrang, Rock Sound and NME all singing their praises. If All Time Low owned the main O2 Academy stage however, We Are The In Crowd and The Maine merely rented it off them. From stepping out onto the floor with pristinely perfect hair and the skinniest of skinny jeans, Alex Gaskarth was the ringmaster in his very own puppet performance, allowing us not to take our eyes off the fluid and charismatic front man. Although seeming as a somewhat obligatory measure for a pop punk group to have a piece of eye candy as their lead vocalist, Gaskarth however appears the exception with lyrical ability and vocal range to rival the best of any other pop punker around. Performing tracks off all four of their critically acclaimed studio albums, highlight of the show came when new single ‘Time Bomb’ was performed. Evidently a track the four piece were keen to promote as a track they intended people’s ears to prick up to, others ‘Dear Maria, Count Me In,’ ‘I Feel Like Dancing’ and ‘Weightless’ all followed in much the same vein, pitching the level for the night as sky high. Pop Punk Rules...!

Creators of one the decades most iconic songs and a group who have supplied us with some of the very best break-up ballads to weep over, Snow Patrol will be continuing their current UK tour at Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena on 7th February. Regarded as one of the best indie-rock bands to grace the UK charts within the current rock scene, the ‘Chasing Cars’ masters have not only won the hearts of critics all over the world, but a sold-out UK tour pretty much speaks volumes for their national popularity. Already half way through their extensive showcase throughout the British Isles, Snow Patrol have took to stages across Aberdeen, Liverpool, Nottingham, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle with Sheffield’s anticipated show towards the latter half of the groups tour dates. With a brand new sixth studio album ‘Fallen Empires’ under their belt, the Scots come armed with a reputation of bolstering energy and sky-high passion whilst on stage, evident masters of their craft having formed in 1994. Although various line-up changes have altered the bands appearance over time, a dedication to producing first rate tunes have undoubtedly remained, achieving the six piece a whole host of awards throughout their career. Needless to say a mantelpiece short of extra space, Snow Patrol have won Best British Group twice along with the Q Award for Classic Q Song with ‘Chasing Cars.’ Spending over 104 weeks in the UK Top 75, this melodic ballad was also voted song of the decade in a Channel 4 Poll and has adorned the bedrooms of love-sick teenagers no doubt across the globe. Starting out in the early 1990’s, Gary Lightbody, Mark McClelland and Michael Morrison kicked off Snow Patrol in ’94, setting the foundations for a prosperous career ahead. A change in line-up saw Mark and Michael both part way with the group to allow for four additional members to aid the rockers overall sound and firm up the group as a solid quintet. Having recently released their powerful new single ‘In The End’ in January 2012, Snow Patrol are back on the road to showcase their epic new album and triumphant return. Supporting Snow Patrol will come from Everything Everything, a British Indie band with a top twenty album ‘Man Alive’ from 2010. A group not afraid of performing to huge crowds after experiencing festival audiences throughout the 2010 and 2011, the four piece with members across the country combine electric guitar riffs with intricate rhythmic patterns to create a powerful edge to their music…make sure you get down early as these certainly aren’t a band to arrive late for. For Tickets, information and conditions, visit the Motorpoint website (www.motorpointarenasheffield. co.uk) or the bands official website (www. snowpatrol.com) for updates, pics and merch.

NERO WELCOME REALITY Nero are Joe Ray and Dan Stephens, this year they have emerged from the Drum & Bass underground, slowed things down and become one of the biggest names in dance music. They release their brand new single Must Be The Feeling which will be a double A side with Innocence on the 5th of March. Must Be The Feeling/Innocence is the fifth release to be taken from their Number One album Welcome Reality and follows hit singles Reaching Out, Me & You, Guilt and the Number one smash Promises. The band embark on the “Second Reality” Tour in March and have at the last minute added a Sheffield date into their schedule, calling at the O2 Academy on Wednesday March 14th. Nero played some of the UK’s biggest festivals last summer including Glastonbury, Bestival, Reading and Wireless to name but a few, as well selling out their first headline UK tour in October, which included a show-stopping performance at the Electric Ballroom in October. Following their headline dates, Nero have been supporting Tinie Tempah on his Autumn arena tour and joined their label managers Chase & Status at the UKF: Bass Culture Event at Alexandra Palace on 25th November. Must Be The Feeling, released on Chase & Status’ label MTA Records, pivots on an 80s sample by a Detroit disco teen diva called Carmen, the result of Nero “scouring the internet for rare boogie tracks”. Innocence, originally released in April 2010, climbed to number 16 and 11, respectively, on the Dance and Independent charts and has become a massive live favourite. This year has been an incredible year for Nero – they are the only British dance act of 2011 to have a Number one album, Promises was the first ever UK dubstep number one single and they were also nominated for Best New Act at the prestigious Q Awards last year. Following on from the recent successes of Pendulum, Chase & Status, DJ Fresh et al, Nero are spearheading the new wave of UK D&B/Dubstep acts that are crossing over into the mainstream and if you’ve seen any of the aforementioned acts live before you know this event may get a little wild.

round-up by stuart renton

Its movie review this week, and if you don’t like it you can kiss my Coriolanus. Served up in this meat feast of visual eye candy is the sci-fi flick Chronicle, which is one of those ‘fashionable’ shaky-cam films where the camera wobbles faster than Katie Price’s jugs at a prison rodeo. That’s right, like The Blair Witch Project before it, this movie will make you spew your dinner faster than mistakenly paying to see Michelle McManus doing the late night turn at Spearmint Rhino. The movie tells the story of two teenager cousins who gain superpowers when they encounter a mysterious crystalline structure. Andrew, the central character, is a dysfunctional loner who documents the movie through the use of his video camera – and thus the scene is set. Chronicle plays with the saying ‘absolute power corrupts’ - so you can imagine how this movie will develop as the boys stretch the limits of their new abilities. What Chronicle does well is imagine what would happen if a bunch of kids developed super powers and what they’d do with them. There are some genuinely thrilling scenes and while I can’t say too much, the <squish> scenes are absolutely breathtaking and they make <movie that previously set the benchmark for such things> look like child’s play.

Tracer: Tickets go on sale this Friday for the Aussie Rockers date at The Plug in April

Score: 8/10. A must see if you like sci-ﬁ and an accomplished sci-ﬁ action thriller in its own right, but if you can’t stomach shaky-cam then no amount of praise is going to get you to sit through the ninety minutes of Chronicle.

The Almighty Johnsons Currently starting its run on the SyFy channel is The Almighty Johnsons, which is a must see. It tells the story of a quartet of brothers who are the living reincarnation of the Norse gods. The many centuries have caused their mystical powers to wane and in order to restore their true prowess, Axl, the youngest of the brothers, who also happens to be Odin (the allfather and most potent of the gods), must find the reincarnation of the goddess Frigg and do the nasty with her. If he can consummate their relationships, all the ancient gods will regain their full powers. Now that’s my idea of a quest! This is a show made in New Zealand and sure, you have to get over the accents, the decidedly ropey acting, and the low budget stuff, but once you look past that there’s a genuinely emotive, sexy, and above all, clever sci-fi drama that’s got its fair share of swearing and nudity. It would be too easy to look past this show for its flaws, but in a time that’s desperately short on fantasy, this is one show you should overlook at your peril.

JIMMY JAMES AND THE VAGABONDS Local musicians have ﬁgured large in the history of one of the UKs greatest soul singers. Jimmy James and The Vagabonds were originally formed in 1960. Later, James, already a successful solo artist in Jamaica, teamed up with them and in April 1964, they relocated to the UK. “Ska Time” (Decca Records) was recorded within two weeks of their arrival, and is one of the ﬁrst examples of Jamaican ska music to be recorded in the UK. In 1965 they undertook more gigs and recordings in Hungary, organised as part of a cultural exchange programme, with The Vagabonds being one of the few Western European bands ever to play in the former communist state.[citation needed] Also in 1965, Jimmy James and the Vagabonds supported The Who at the Marquee Club in London. They signed a recording contract with Pye Records and released their best known studio album, The New Religion in 1966. The band also played as support for The Who, and Sonny & Cher, Rod Stewart (who was also on Pye Records at the time), and The Rolling Stones. The band often used the Abbey Road Studios, once being there at the same time as The Beatles

were recording. Their live performance was captured in the album, Live at the Marquee, also featuring The Alan Bown Set. Jimmy James and the Vagabonds were labelmates and rivals of Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band. The Vagabonds disbanded in 1970, but James, who owned the name, reformed the band with a new, all white line-up in 1974.[2] They had hits in the UK Singles Chart with “ I’ll Go Where Your Music Takes Me” and “Now Is The Time”. An earlier release on ‘Stateside’ ‘A Man Like Me’ is one of the most sought after, and played, singles on the Northern Soul circuit Former Vagabonds bass player Alan Wood (1973–77) now runs his own management agency and represents Paul Carrack. Chesterﬁeld based guitarist Chris Garﬁeld, currently touring with Paul Carrack, has been a member of the Vagabonds a couple of times. In 1979 a new band, Big Business, was formed by Alan Kirk and Andrew Platts, former Vagabonds and they continue to tour to this day. Big Business toured with Mick Jackson (“Blame It on the Boogie”). Alan

I went to see a first class band “The Piggies” at the Hilltop Club in Dronfield on Saturday night and in my opinion, this band is without doubt,one of the best on the circuit. They looked and sounded the part, with live music by, The Beatles, Kinks, Rolling Stones, Searchers and many more. I personally, had not heard of this Sheffield band, although I was advised that they have been around for 31 years, I’m surprised how young they look! Costumes and wigs work wonders. It was also nice to see a club absolutely packed to capacity and the large dance floor was certainly well used. Interestingly, there were a good number of teenagers attending, enjoying my era’s music. Also in the audience was your very own Howard Copley, who definitely enjoyed the last song of the night, you know the one “Hi Ho Sheffield Wednesday”. We see and hear a lot about how clubs are suffering with falling attendances but this club seems to be constantly bucking the trend, due in no small part to it’s hard working committee, listening to and providing it’s members requirements. Based on Saturday’s enjoyable night, I have now ordered tickets for their Valentines Dinner Dance Kirk owns Hilltop Studios in Dronfield near Chesterfield. Andrew Platts is managing editor of the Mercury Newspaper. In 1999, drummer Russ Courtenay co-wrote the track “Whatever You Need”, which appeared on Tina Turner’s album, 24/7, and later on her All the Best and The Platinum Collection compilation albums. He is currently working on a project entitled ‘Rainbow Beach’. In 2007, James contributed the track “The Other Side of the Street” for Ian Levine’s Northern Soul 2007 album. Jimmy James and the Vagabonds are still appearing regularly at clubs all over the country and his popularity appears to be as great now as it has ever been.

VOICE OF THE NIGHTINGALE

65% OF MEN ARE GOOD AT...

Ian Bowen, Woodhouse, Shefﬁeld

Radio Nightingale is a registered charity and each week we hold at least one collection to raise funds for the station. This is in the foyer of the Rotherham General Hospital on Monday evenings between 6.00pm and 8.30pm. The visitors to the hospital are extremely generous and we’re really pleased with the contribution this makes towards our ongoing running costs. However it is only a part of the money we need to deliver the station so we are looking to expand into a Thursday evening but don’t have enough volunteers for this session. If you could offer any time, preferably on a regular basis (that could be just one evening per month), to help Radio Nightingale in these collections it would be very much appreciated. Contact us on 01709 304244 to discuss how your availability could contribute to our fundraising. We hold other collections at various venues around Rotherham along with these regular sessions. If you would like to help us at these events please get in touch and then we’ll contact you as and when events are organised. If you don’t have any time to offer but want to support us, please visit our website where you can ﬁnd out more about our lottery, webshop and search engine which raise money for Radio Nightingale. Or if you would like to be involved in the station in activities other than collecting, on our website you’ll also ﬁnd an application pack which gives more information about the types of work we need volunteers to help with.

What do you think 65% of fellas say they’re good at? Well, you might have some ideas and we certainly had some interesting answers called in on the Breakfast Show the other day – Cooking, Dancing, Driving, DIY and even picking women!! The correct answer was actually singing ‘Karaoke’. Talking of which, we’re giving you a chance to ball your heart out with some Motown legends. The 4 Tops and the Temptations are playing Shefﬁeld Motorpoint Arena in March and we have free tickets to give away right across the next 4 weeks. Each week at breakfast time I’m running some special Motown Monday contests. Listen for a song from either of the two bands bright and early ﬁrst thing, and if you’re a lucky caller you win. My colleague Dave Campbell is also getting set to give you a chance to win a dream holiday. He’s off to Bermuda to present his show live, sample idyllic island life and no doubt live it up, but he’ll also give you a chance to go along as well. Find out more and register your details on our website, then tune in and you could be off there with somebody special. See magciam. co.uk

HELP NEEDED FOR FOOTBALL EVENT Asim Shazad who works for Football Unites Racism Divides has recently emailed me with a problem. FURD is a community project and charity based in Shefﬁeld . They work locally, nationally and internationally to combat racism and increase understanding between different communities. They deliver football coaching to young people from a diverse range of communities and bring together isolated communities, such as refugees and asylum seekers. They also use the ‘magnetic power’ of football to deliver anti-racist education and youth work with young people. Asim needs to make contact with someone club related because they are in the process of organising an event which they would like to hold at a WMC. He needs to speak to someone about this event who could point him in the right direction. Quoting from Asim’s email: “The purpose of the event is to get asylum seekers and refugees to enjoy the African Nations Cup Final (12th Feb) at a WMC which would presumably be predominately white. We would like to get the groups together to enjoy a game of football and at the same time get to be comfortable alongside each other. There are ideas of having a quiz on African and British history and culture, also various other ideas too. I am very excited about this and really look forward to hearing from you. If you would be available for a chat then my ofﬁce number is 0114 2553156 .” From Geoff at Club Historians

anti-social behaviour means extra policing, wardens and taxi marshalls are needed. However there are quite a few venues that may have gained an advantage from being able to open slightly later on a Friday and Saturday night and this levy may mean this is no longer viable. It is argued that Working Mens Clubs, Social Clubs and other private member venues are yet again being drawn into a red tape battle that maybe they should be exempt from. It has long been the argument in clubland that private clubs should have the right to choose regarding the smoking ban which caused clubs so many problems, the proposed LNL looks to be the second nail in the cofﬁn. WMCs may not be the primary target for these changes in legislation but in the end they are often caught in ﬁring line.

Sheffield Trades & Labour Club - Special Feature

SHEFFIELD TRADES & LABOUR CLUB THE CLUB AT THE HEART OF THE CITY If there’s a more “Social” social club in Shefﬁeld it’s going to be hard to ﬁnd.

The Trades, as everyone knows it, has been at the heart of its community ever since its construction and opening 30 years ago. The Wednesday Club, a social event, not the football team, is a great example, but more of that in a bit. Speaking of Sheffield Wednesday FC, The Trades are involved in The Young Owls and are big supporters of MENCAP. Their Karaoke nights have proved highly popular and for the indoor sports fans there are three pool teams (the club sponsors The Park Pool league) and three darts teams. In fact The Trades is the headquarters of “The Mag 7” darts league. It is perhaps most famous as home to one of South Yorkshire’s most popular talent shows – “Trades Got Talent.” Held every October, this fantastic occasion is a magnet for budding artistes from miles around and a firm event on the region’s entertainment calendar. Live entertainment is on show every week. Longestablished Sheffield agency Ceebee have a strong line up arranged for the near future. This Saturday 4th Feb will see the appearance of Sunny Daye, the renowned female personality vocalist, famous for her performances which led to the X-Factor finals. On February 18th, The Trades hosts Steve Lawrence, the excellent vocalist of many years’ standing. Sarah Lee Scott is a previous Clubland Award winner, simply not to be missed on 3rd March. Everyone will be looking forward to 17th March which will see the performance of the famously popular Stephanie King’s Stage Show. This outstanding show group will be performing hits from Queen, Michael Jackson, Journey, Three Degrees and many others. It really is an amazing mix of Disco, Soul, Motown, Rock and more. Taking us to the end of March, the ever popular personality vocalist

Amanda Smith, a first class performer, appears on the 31st. Back to the Wednesday Club, which is at the heart of The Trades social activities, everyone is invited to visit their Open Day at the club next Wednesday the 8th February and no visitor will be disappointed as there is always a great atmosphere and entertainment. Entry is free and there’s a buffet available. There are new friends to be found for young and old, Loads of activities to get involved in and a great way to spend a day. One of the Wednesday Clubs most popular events are their social trips which are provided to members at low prices. Coming up at the end of April is a two day visit to Scarborough. Staying at the Grand Hotel and including an excursion to Whitby. There will be Ballroom Dancing, great accommodation and a very welcome and popular “99p Bar” where almost all drinks will be on offer for this low price – what a great way to welcome in the spring. There are some things which are just as important today as they were when The Trades was founded 30 years ago. One of these is social activities which bring communities together. The Trades is a great example of a club which serves the community. Credit is also due to Mansfield Brewery, without whose help The Trades might never have been built and who have continued to be extremely supportive. Located on Duke Street near the city centre, The Trades is easy to find with great public transport and taxi services so do call in soon – it is well worth the visit.

Angler’s Corner Racing Form by Clint Walker

Following on from last week’s complaints by me about other companies ‘poaching’ our anglers, we have lost another one! All the hard work put into exposing two of our younger stars (aged 14 and 15) has resulted in them being offered lesser deals, but by a ‘bigger’ company. I have spent some time on the telephone to try and sway them, but they are both set and have moved on. I’m disappointed.... I’m also struggling to understand just what it is that many of the ‘wannabe’ anglers want from the sport, which appears to have changed drastically during the 30 odd years I’ve been fishing. Many of the emails I get include ‘will you sponsor me?’ Many of them don’t give me a reason to do so, but it seems that being ‘sponsored’ is the sign of a good angler; not so I’m afraid....you have to be able to write, which brings me nicely onto this week. I’ve recently turned down an angler for a position with Pallatrax as they are more or less completely illiterate; however this has resulted in him sending me various manuscripts to edit on his behalf so he can approach other companies for ‘sponsorship’! I’ve tried to explain that although he may be an extremely good angler (he isn’t) he just has not got the sense of journalism/editorial/content required by an editor, and his spelling/grammar/context is diabolical. This now appears to be my fault...... When I started as a contributor, I was happy to be offered a few discounts and maybe the odd freebie; I’ve been lucky and a huge amount of self publicity, hard work, time and luck has seen me reach a paid position with full sponsorship. I’m not ‘blowing my own trumpet’ here, I’m just trying to illustrate the fact that if you want it, you HAVE to work for it!! Angling now seems to be about ‘look at me’ and I feel many anglers have lost sight of why we actually hit the bank; peace and tranquillity, distress and time out in beautiful surroundings, perhaps with a good mate. For some anglers, any fish under 20lbs isn’t worth catching from their muddy puddle, and silver fish are a pest! Whatever happened to long trotting? Laying-on? Stret-pegging?? Touch legering? Dapping? I know there will be some readers who do know all of these terms, but I can lay odds you are over 40 years old! It seems that skills are being lost and consumerism is driving the enjoyment out of angling for many. I would wager that many anglers under the age of 25 have NEVER experienced the enjoyment of a river in summer, or fished a canal, (unless they don’t have the money for a 48 hour ticket at the local commercial fishery!), or considered ‘fluff chucking’ or can wield a pole efficiently (unless there is money in the pot). Many anglers first catch is now a big carp instead of a pristine winter roach or a greedy perch and this looks set to continue.... I know carpers bring huge amounts of revenue and I carp fish myself, but I think that an apprenticeship of sorts should be served first! It can’t all be about ‘instant fishing’ can it???

by Timelord

This Saturday’s Channel 4 coverage comes from Sandown (4 races), Ffos Las (2 races) and Wetherby (1 race) where there are likely to be a few more clues to the big races at the upcoming Cheltenham Festival. The highlights might well be the exciting Novice Chases at Sandown and Wetherby but the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las also looks an attractive prospect. Sandown: 2.00 Betfred “When Both Teams Score” Handicap Hurdle, Class 2, 2 miles: Jo Davis’ Passato could be the answer to this one. He ran well when ﬁfth to Micheal Flips recently at Taunton in a race that was run in a really fast time for the conditions. If Nomecheki holds up the form when running at Taunton on Tuesday then take the hint that the Micheal Flips race might be worth following for a while. Nomecheki is also entered in this race himself and would be a danger to the selection if turning out. Moon Over Miami, Gracchus and Fix the Rib are three others that have run well recently and are likely to provide a fairly stern test for my choice. 2.30 Betfred Goals Galore Challengers Novices’ Chase (registered as the Scilly Isles Novices Chase), Grade 1, 2 miles 4 ½ furlongs: This looks to have all the makings of a really interesting race if it doesn’t cut up badly when the ﬁnal declarations appear. I am guessing that Nicky Henderson’s Mossley might well be the favourite on the day but I fancy that a few of these could take him on and may spring a surprise. Lancetto ran well behind Quicuyo at Doncaster last Saturday (another race run in a good time) and if turning out again quickly would be my choice for the upset. If he doesn’t turn out the reserves are (in order): Mad Moose; For Non Stop; Baile Anrai; and Bold Sir Brian. The latter pair both seeking hat-tricks. 3.05 Betfred and Levy Board Heroes Handicap

3.40 Betfred Masters Handicap Chase, Class 2, 3 miles ½ furlong; This is a potentially tricky race with a few “ifs and maybes” about a few of the runners. However, Burton Port’s second to Diamond Harry in the 2010 Hennessy looks to me to be a good enough effort to set him apart from this field. He has been off for over a year with injury but if fit enough to do himself justice on this re-appearance run he may see these off at the first time of asking. Of the others Neptune Collonges ran quite well last time and is dangerous to overlook as he seems to be on the way back, Fairoak Lad ran a good race to finish fifth to Gullible Gordon at Wincanton but has been off for over a year himself, Beat The Boys has some good performances to his name and Exmoor Ranger is always a possible in races like this and sometimes (but not always) goes well here. Michel Le Bon also looks to have a decent shout. Ffos Las: 2.45 William Hill Welsh Champion Hurdle, Class 2, 2 miles: This looks a pretty interesting race where Nicky Henderson’s Oscar Whisky will no doubt be all the rage and must have an excellent chance. However, I think he will be at pretty short odds and this race might turn out to be more competitive than might appear at first sight so I am going for Starluck who also has a decent chance in my opinion but is likely to be sent off at a much more backable price. Others that look to have chances of sorts are: Ashkazar; The Jigsaw Man; Scorched Son; Ski Sunday; Highway Code; and Charm School. 3.20 William Hill West Wales National (Handicap Chase), Class 2, 3 miles 4 furlongs: Miko de Beauchene’s last time out effort showed that he still retains some ability and he is my hopeful selection to land the spoils in this marathon. Chief danger may come from Bench Warrent, Rey Nacarado and Our Island, who all ran well last time, although Victory Gunner and Jaunty Journey can also take a hand in what might turn out to be a real slog through the Welsh mud. Wetherby: 2.15 totepool.com Towton Novices’ Chase, Grade 2, Class 1, 3 miles 1 furlong: Ikorodu Road looks to hold a sound chance if his run last time is anything to go by. Matt Sheppard’s inmate finished second to Glen’s Boy at Newbury last time going down by a neck while trying to give the winner 15lbs. That may be good enough to see him home here. The reserves are (in order of preference): Mr Moonshine; Baile Anrai; Helpston; Mossley. Selection summary: Sandown: 2.00 Passato 2.30 Lancetto 3.05 Big Easy 3.40 Burton Port Ffos Las: 2.45 Starluck 3.20 Miko de Beauchene Wetherby: 2.15 Ikorodu Road Good Luck!

Hurdle, Grade 3, Class 1, 2 miles 6 furlongs: This race looks to be something of a nightmare to solve. There are several last time out winners in the ﬁeld, some of whom are seeking to extend a lengthy winning sequence. These all look to dangerous opponents, particularly Thehillofuisneach and Swincombe Flame. However I am looking further down the weights for my idea of the likely winner and have selected Philip Hobbs’ unexposed Big Easy who won well in a fast time at Doncaster on his handicap debut last Saturday. Again this requires a quick turn out but if doing so he has to have every chance of following up even though he is currently 6 lbs out of the handicap. If he doesn’t line up then the reserves (selected for likely value against the above hat-trick seeking pair)are: Crack Away Jack; Sonofvic; Well Regarded; Cotillion.

Local Football by Michael Clarke County Senior League Premier Division Despite losing four games to the elements, including games involving the top two; there was still plenty of intrigue in the remaining fixtures. Firstly, third placed Stocksbridge Park Steels Reserves were held to a 3-3 draw by mid-table Handsworth Reserves. The draw is Stocksbridge’s sixth of the season so far, but is enough to take them to the summit. Fourth placed Swallownest Miners Welfare were denied a win by Everest, as they drew 0-0. Daniel Leesley was in good form for Everest to stop a run of two consecutive losses and cement their mid-table position. Sheffield Reserves extended their renaissance by beating Millmoor Juniors 1-0 away from home. The win is Sheffield’s third win in five games and moves them further away from bottom side Hallam Reserves. High Green Villa beat Davy FC 2-1 at Thorncliffe Playing Fields. Davy played 80 minutes with ten men and were defeated by goals by Harley Wilson and Scott Chamberlain. Division One Four goals from Jack Guest inspired league leaders Houghton Main to a 6-3 victory over Bramley Sunnyside Juniors. Houghton Main remain four points clear at the top. Second placed Frecheville beat third placed Penistone Church Reserves 5-2 away from home. The win gives Frecheville a three point lead on Penistone and a spare game. In-form Aqua Force Barnsley were held to a goalless draw by Worsbrough Bridge Athletic Reserves. A goal from Deroy Williams gave Caribbean Sports a 1-1 draw at home to Thorpe Hesley. The point is only their third of the season. Second bottom Sheffield Athletic also grabbed a point away against Worksop Parramore, drawing 1-1. Two goals from Ben Cook gave Oughtibridge WMSC a 2-0 win over mid-table Silkstone United. The win contributed to a fascinating weekend in Division one, which saw the bottom five teams avoid defeat. Elsewhere, Wickersley held fourth placed Swinton Station Athletic to a 1-1 draw at Wickersley School. Division Two Athersley Recreation Reserves returned to league action with the hard-working defeat of Clowne Villa 3-2 at Sheerien Park. Craig Bouch scored twice to consolidate Athersley’s six point lead. Second placed Gleadless FC were also made to work hard. They had ten men for 60 minutes but still managed to beat New Bohemians. Lee Beighton and John Bradley grabbed the goals at the Transport Ground. Frecheville Reserves ended a run of four straight defeats by convincingly beating Sheffield Lane Top 3-0. The goals came from Ryan Hardman, Alou Cisse and Callum Ward. Sheffield Bankers made it three wins in four league games, when they defeated De La Salle Old Boys 3-0 at Davy Sports Ground. Meadowhall League League Cup Premier League Leaders Hackenthorpe A were inspired by a Jamie Sampson hat-trick. They beat Division outfit 4-2 in the Second Round of the League Cup at Davy’s Sports Club. Premier Divison Royal Earl extended their winning streak to three games with a 3-2 victory over High Noon. The win takes the Royal Earl into second place, above the High Noon, only three points off the lead. Crookes would have taken second place had they won, but they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to the Handsworth Turf Tavern. Goals from Lees, Crick and Beech gave Greenhill White hart back-to-back league wins for the first time this season. They beat Packhorse Inn 3-1 at Thorncliffe Playing Fields. Division One Two goals each from Chris Spooner and Lee Dexter helped the Arundel reclaim top spot. They ran out convincing 4-1 winners against Intake Ball Inn. Wadsley Bridge WMC won their first league game since September, when they just edged out Arbourthorne EA B 3-2 at Warminster Road. Division Two It was a rare complete fixture list in Division Two, with the highlight coming at Oughtibridge Operations, where the leaders Rawson Spring beat Hackenthorpe B 4-1. Todd Jordan and Daniel Smith both scored twice for the Rawson Spring. Second placed Winn Gardens also won to make it six league games undefeated. They beat mid-table Hackenthorpe Villa 3-2 away from home. Two goals from Tim Council inspired Penistone Church to a 2-1 over City Taxis New Inn. The win helps Penistone consolidate third place in the table. Heeley reeped more misery on bottom placed Mosborough B, as they defeated them 4-3. Mosobrough B remain on only one win for this season thus far. Ridgeway Athletic put three points between themselves and Mosborough B, when they beat Norton Oaks A 4-2 for their first win of the season. Division Three Three goals from Ben Putland helped Woodhouse Juniors consolidate their leading position. They were convincing 6-0 winners over Staffordshire Arms. Carlton Social made it five league wins-in-a-row, with the 4-1 defeat of the Barrel Inn. They sit in second, seven points back from the lead. U21 Division There was a big game in the U21 Division at Gosforth Fields, where Dronfield Town U21’s made a huge statement in their title challenge. Joe Butler, Daniel Wood and Michael Shaw all scored twice in their impressive 7-0 victory over second placed Sharrow United U21’s. Dronfield now sit six points clear at the top of the U21 Division, in its maiden season. Ryan Bates scored twice for Throstles U21’s in a 4-3 victory over Greasebrough U21’s at Davy’s Sports Club. Throstles climb off the bottom with the win.

Millers and Rovers News & Reviews 2011/12

MILLERS LOSE OUT AT DAGGERS MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk

The Millers fell to a 3-2 defeat against Dagenham after dominating large periods of today’s game at Victoria Road. Goals from Danny Harrison and Alex Revell proved in vain for the Millers as they ended the game with 10 men after Michael Raynes’ late sending off. Andy Scott made four changes to the Millers team after last week’s disappointing result at home to Port Vale, with Richard Naylor and Kieron Cadogan making their Millers debuts, and Mark Bradley and Danny Harrison returning to the side. Johnny Mullins missed out through injury, with Dale Tonge and Danny Schofield dropping to the bench and Marcus Marshall moving out on loan to Macclesfield. After a scrappy opening to the first half, the first chance of the game fell to the Millers. Sam Wood’s cross found Lewis Grabban who headed harmlessly over from 12 yards in the sixth minute. After eight minutes Grabban should have opened the scoring for the Millers but when one on one with Chris Lewington he could only hit the keeper from inside the penalty area. From the resulting corner Jason Taylor found space in a goalmouth scramble but his shot was comfortably saved by Lewington. The first chance of the game for the hosts came when Rhys Taylor’s misjudged clearance found Billy Bingham 25 yards out but his left footed shot flew wide of Taylor’s left hand post. Cadogan then created an excellent chance for the Millers in the 22nd minute with a cross from the right wing, but with Harrison favourite to win the header 10 yards out, Grabban and Harrison collided with the result being that neither player got a clear contact on the ball. After dominating for long periods the Millers deservedly took the lead in the 28th minute through Harrison. An attempted clearance from a Dagenham defender found its way to Harrison who took his time before unleashing an unstoppable strike in to the top left hand corner from 20 yards.

The Millers almost doubled their lead a minute or so later through Alex Revell’s snap shot, but Lewington managed to tip the ball wide for a corner, which came to nothing. In the 40th minute Cadogan found space to get in a cross on the right hand by-line, but Grabban’s goalbound effort was excellently blocked by Micky Spillane. Dagenham started the second half brightly and equalised in the 50th minute through Jon Nurse’s header. The referee awarded a free kick for a foul by Harrison and Nurse nestled his header inside Taylor’s left hand post. The early goal had clearly lifted a previously second best Dagenham team and they almost took the lead after 52 minutes, but half time substitute Josh Scott’s weak header left Taylor with a comfortable catch in the Millers goal. Dagenham then took the lead in the 62nd minute in fortuitous circumstances. Abu Ogogo’s tame shot was heading straight for Rhys Taylor before the ball took a wicked deflection off of Mark Bradley’s outstretched boot to wrong foot Taylor and find the bottom right hand corner of the goal. The Millers then equalised straight from the kick off when Scott Griffiths’ pinpoint cross found an unmarked Revell in acres of space on the edge of the six yard box and he was left with the simple task of heading in to the roof of the net. The Millers were inches away from retaking the lead in the 71st minute. Revell’s excellent cross found Grabban but a deflection off of a Dagenham defender saw the ball fly just wide of the far post. Dagenham retook the lead in the 77th minute through Scott Doe. Excellent work on the right hand side by Spillane forced a corner for Dagenham and from the resulting ball in to the box Doe’s glancing header beat Taylor. A minute later Revell had a half chance to equalise for the Millers but his deflected shot left Lewington with a comfortable save. Millers defender Michael Raynes was sent off after 88 minutes for a second bookable offence for an off the ball incident while waiting for a free kick in the Dagenham area. The Millers almost equalised with their final chance of the game in the second minute of injury time but Jason Taylor’s strike from the edge of the box was deflected just past the far post for a corner.

SHARP JOINS SAINTS ROBERT SIGNS UP ROVERS NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

ROVERS NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

Striker Billy Sharp has signed for npower Championship rivals Southampton on a three and half year deal and will wear the number 11 shirt. Sharp, who had a release clause in his Rovers contract, joins up with former Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins. Dean Saunders revealed to the media today that a fee had been agreed and Billy had travelled to the south coast for a medical. “We’ve agreed a deal with Southampton he’s gone down there for a medical and will probably sign for them.” “I spoke to the Chairman this morning and he told me we had agreed a fee, I’m obviously disappointed we’ve lost our top scorer but I knew about his clause when I came here. “ Saunders paid credit to the professional approach shown by Billy at a time of grief for him and his family. “Billy has done really well for us even though he’s had lots of problems off the pitch, all credit to him, he done a great job for us and scored lots goals - we are all sad to see him leave, but it’s another chapter in his career. “Hopefully one day we will be in a position where we can keep our best players.” Saunders has now set a challenge for the rest of the squad to ‘step up to the plate’. “ I spoke to the rest of the lads and asked the ‘who’s next’ because if you do well you can go on and make yourself a career. “It gives the rest of the lads a chance to step up to the plate.” Everybody at Doncaster Rovers would like to thank Billy for the special moments he has provided to us, and wish him all the best for the future.

France Under 20 international Fabien Robert has agreed to join the club on loan from Ligue 1 side Lorient until the end of the season. The deal is subject to registration and international clearance but it is hoped it can be completed in time for Robert to be available to link up with the club at Hull City tonight. The 23-year-old striker or attacking midfielder impressed manager Dean Saunders recently in a three day trial spell at the club. He made his professional debut at the age of 18 and was so highly rated he was given an unprecedented five year contract by Lorient. Robert is the younger brother of former international star Laurent Robert who played for Newcastle, Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain. He has made almost 40 appearances in the top flight of French football and last played a fortnight ago. Fabien said: “I want to help the club stay in the Championship and this is an exciting challenge for me. “I’m a technical player and like to score and make goals for my team-mates. “When I came to train for a few days I was surprised that the club was in the bottom three because there are a lot of good players here.” He added: “I’m looking forward to getting started. “I’m fit and ready as soon as the manager wants me to play.”

BLADES CRASH OUT OF FA CUP MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

United crashed out of the FA Cup with the heaviest defeat of the season. Championship Birmingham City scored two goals in each half to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup. The Blades began both halves well but were unable break through the visiting defence, the closest being when Matt Lowton struck a post. For a fourth consecutive game, boss Wilson named an unchanged starting line-up. He kept faith with the team that battled gamely at Charlton the previous week. The FA Cup, of course, offers managers the option of seven substitutions and with Beattie suspended, there were places on the bench for Ertl, Flynn and Philliskirk. The Blades dominated the opening 15 minutes. McDonald and Quinn both had shots blocked after Evans stepped over a Lowton cross, whilst the visiting goalkeeper, Doyle, faced a couple of nervy moments. He needed two attempted to gather a powerful shot from Evans on 13 minutes and then was almost embarrassed as Cresswell chased down a clearance. Birmingham’s first effort came from defender Spector, who drilled wide at the near post after a mis-control by JeanFrancois. However, on 18 minutes, Birmingham did take the lead from their first corner of the encounter. Burke’s low delivery from the

right was met cleanly by REDMOND, who smashed a powerful effort through a crowded penalty area. Winger Redmond had a quick chance to double his tally but, after cutting in from the left, he ﬁred wide, whilst a free-kick, following Caldwell’s foul on Cresswell, presented the Blades with an opportunity to level on 28 minutes. Doyle again failed to gather a shot from Evans but the goalkeeper did pounce on the loose ball before United’s onrushing strikeforce could arrive. United’s task of progressing further in the competition, however, were hampered further on 38 minutes when City added a second. Elliott found Burke and from his near-post cross, ROONEY sneaked in ahead of Maguire and directed the ball into the top corner. It could have been even worse before the break, but Burke, with a left-footed curler, was just off target, although the effort worried Simonsen, who was at full stretch. Again the Blades made a bright start when the teams emerged for the second half. Cresswell could not get on the end of a good move down the left involving JeanFrancois, Evans and Quinn, whilst on 53 minutes, many inside the ground could not understand how United had not halved the lead. Williamson saw his shot blocked by the body of goalkeeper Doyle and in the ensuing melee, Lowton’s left-footer struck a post and dropped in the goalmouth before being cleared by Caldwell. To rub salt into the wounds, Birmingham added a third soon after. Williamson failed to cut out a pass and ELLIOTT was allowed to run at the defence before his shot was deﬂected by Maguire, beyond the reach of Simonsen’s left hand. Williams replaced Jean-Francois just after the hour mark, whilst Wilson completed his share of replacements when Flynn and Porter took the places of Quinn and Cresswell, respectively. However, the fresh

legs were powerless to stop Birmingham adding a fourth on 78 minutes. Murphy’s run down the left needed just the slightest of touches from ROONEY to guide the ball into the bottom corner of the net. McDonald picked up a booking for a foul on former team-mate Elliott and the United midfielder fired over late on. Three minutes of added time were largely incidental, although Williamson forced the Doyle into a save just before the final whistle. Blades: Simonsen, Lowton, JeanFrancois (Williams 58), M. Doyle, Evans, Williamson, Collins, Cresswell (Porter 72), Maguire, McDonald, Quinn (Flynn 72). Unused: Montgomery, Ertl, Philliskirk, Long.

Birmingham: C. Doyle, Murphy, Caldwell, Burke (Gnahore 80), Mutch (Reilly 80), Gomis, Elliott, Rooney, Redmond, Spector, Davies. Unused: Ibanez, Fahey, Zigic, Valles, Butland.

WILSON POST CUP GAFFERS REACTION www.sufc.co.uk

The quality shown by Birmingham City in their four goal victory at Bramall Lane was something that stood out for manager Danny Wilson as he reflected on his side’s exit from the F.A. Cup. “The goals that they scored were from similar situations that we had during the game, so I suppose that is the difference in quality,” explained Wilson. “Looking back at the first three goals they all seemed to be scored at a time when we had been in the ascendancy. The first goal in particular came from a piece of quick thinking from their point of view, slow from ours! It cost us a goal, although Redmond showed good technique as well. It is difficult to hit a ball that well coming in from that angle. The Blades boss refused to be too down hearted after the game feeling his side had played well and come up against a quality ‘inform’ Birmingham side. “We started the game very well and I thought our performance was quite good throughout, they are a quality side who will be pushing to return to the top flight. We played well at times during the game and caused them some problems but to be fair they played very well and were the better team.”

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 LAST MINUTE GOAL FORCES REPLAY MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

A last minute penalty converted by Blackpool striker Kevin Phillips ensured the FA Cup fourth round clash finished 1-1 at Bloomfield Road. Clinton Morrison had given the Owls the lead six minutes after the restart but the late strike means the tie will now go to a replay at Hillsborough. The home side made a strong start to the cup clash as left back Bob Harris fired an early warning shot just wide of Stephen

Bywater’s left hand post. Blackpool were seeing most of the ball in the opening ten minutes and it was another Harris drive that came close to breaking the deadlock. Danny Batth did well to intercept Matt Phillips’ cross from the right but the defender’s clearance fell straight to the lurking Harris who volleyed just over the angle. The Owls then hit back with swift attack of their own as Clinton Morrison saw his attempt finish agonisingly wide of the target. Ryan Lowe was brought a good stop at the near post from Matthew Gilks but Morrison’s instinctive stab goalwards on the rebound flashed just wide of the target. But Blackpool were looking dangerous on the counter and Stephen Bywater was called into action on 15 minutes. Neal Eardley broke quickly down the right and centred for Keith Southern, who’s firm header was pushed to safety

by the Wednesday keeper. It was Gilks’ turn to come to his side’s rescue moments later, saving impressively from Lowe’s crisp volley from inside the six yard box which seemed destined for the top corner. Gilks then spared Southern’s blushes five minutes before the break. The Blackpool skipper’s back pass back fell short to Lowe, but the striker couldn’t get the necessary elevation on his lob to beat the outrushing Tangerine goalkeeper. Bywater ensured the scores stayed level at the break, as the Owls keeper made a fine stop from Billy Clarke’s first-time drive across goal. It took just six minutes after the restart before the Owls edged in front in the FA Cup tie through Morrison. As David Prutton sent Lowe scampering in on goal, Gilks was able to come and clear, but only as far as Morrison who applied an expert looped finish into the far corner. The goal had given the Owls a visible boost while the hosts struggled to find any way through a resolute Wednesday defence. The late pressure was coming from the Seasiders who were desperately seeking a way back into tie. Dangerman Kevin Phillips had a sight of goal ten minutes from time but put his half volley wide of Bywater’s goal. After good wing play down the left from Chris Sedgwick, the midfielder found Chris O’Grady inside the 18-yard box who tested Gilks with a low drive, with the Blackpool keeper gathering at the second attempt. But the Tangerines drew level from the spot in the 90th minute. Chris Sedgwick impeded Gary TaylorFletcher and Kevin Phillips did the rest from 12 yards to bring the tie back to S6. Blackpool: Gilks, Southern (TaylorFletcher 52), Eardley, Clarke (Dicko 63), M Phillips, Basham, Cathcart, K Phillips, Angel (Ince 80), Harris, Wilson Unused substitutes: Bruna, Baptiste, Halstead, Fleck Wednesday: Bywater, Buxton, Batth, R Jones, Beevers, Prutton, Lines, Palmer (J Johnson 46), Sedgwick, Morrison (O’Grady 75), Lowe (Otsemobor 59) Unused substitutes: Weaver, Semedo, Madine

MEGSON ON BOSTOCK CAPTURE GAFFERS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Owls boss Gary Megson has spoken of his delight at the capture of Tottenham Hotspur midﬁeld man John Bostock. The highly-rated Spurs youngster has joined the Owls on loan until the end of the season and Megson believes the 20-year-old will have plenty to offer during his time in S6. He told swfc.co.uk: “He’s a good player and he comes highly recommended from the people down at Spurs. “We have seen him ourselves, he has played in different positions and he’s got a lot to offer in terms of technique, ability and pace. “I would think the game against MK Dons is going to come a bit too soon for him as he only arrived this morning but he may be involved in some way.” Bostock has previously impressed during loan stints at Hull City and Brentford with some strong performances and an eye for a goal. Megson added: “He’s got two good feet, he’s strong and certainly has ability. “I have spoken to him about what he thinks his best position is and thankfully we concur on that. “He’s now got to get in our team ﬁrst of all and when he does, he’s got to play well when he gets the opportunity and I’m sure he will do that. “We are delighted to have him here.”
