Safety can be home grown!

The dependable defender, who joined the Alex from Shrewsbury for £170,000 in March, has enjoyed just two wins at the Alexandra Stadium. The 24-year-old was bitterly disappointed that Crewe failed to beat Derby County on Sunday, stretching their home record in the league to two wins in the last 15 attempts. Now the full-back wants to make strong home performances the key to survival this season. He said: ‘Home form will be crucial and we have to try and take as many points as we can. ‘It is difficult at away grounds because there are great teams in this league. Away wins are a bonus. ‘That’s why it was so disappointing not to beat Derby…

England must aim for true greatness
Telegraph.co.uk – Sep 14, 2005
Giles will have a central role to play this winter, and is a better bowler than when he last visited the subcontinent. Other than him, the county cupboard appears bare, though Northamptonshire’s Monty Panesar has his advocates. The counties do not help by employing overseas spinners, Yogesh Golwalker at Middlesex and Murali Kartik at Lancashire, to name just two blocking opportunities for home-grown players. By beating Australia, England are certainly ahead of the England and Wales Cricket Board’s mission statement of two years ago – the one that targeted 2007 as the year the team would win the Ashes and the World Cup (increased to 2009 in April by an ECB clearly lacking the confidence to keep their original timeline). With their calm, calculating coach, Duncan Fletcher, committing himself at least until that World Cup, key personnel will also remain in place. Seven months ago, despite beating South Africa 2-1 in a five-match Test series, only a brave few would have foreseen England being talked of in these terms. Over dinner in Johannesburg one night, even Vaughan agreed with the assessment that unless England improved on their performances there, the Aussies would have them on toast come the Ashes.
Hollywood’s not-so-True North
Globe and Mail – Sep 14, 2005
Over the years, Randolph Scott, Robert Preston, Dick Powell, Tyrone Power, Robert Ryan, Donald Sutherland, Lee Marvin and even Peter O’Toole donned the scarlet coat as movie Mounties. The death of the genre was
The Canadians in 1961, a flop that consigned Canadians in general to Hollywood’s back burners. Since then, Canada, no longer considered a source of box-office appeal, would be left to home-grown filmmakers, from Don Shebib and Claude Jutra to Denys Arcand and Atom Egoyan. The Canada they offer up, is, for the most part, bleak even in its grandeur, its human landscape tempered with doubt, disappointment and melancholy. This year’s Toronto International Film Festival is presenting a contingent of Canadian-themed films, from Julia Kwan’s
Eve & The Fire Horse to Michel Brault’s
Entré La Mère et l’eau douce. Despite the inaccuracies, Hollywood’s Canada was undeniably fun — the movie posters especially so. Usually more entertaining than the movies themselves, the posters conjure up a certain nostalgia for simpler times.
The future is now
San Diego Union Tribune – Sep 14, 2005
The women's team, also coached by Camperell, was discontinued since the announcement only diminished the outlook for a team already low in players. TROPHIES
Sal Zizzo: The Patrick Henry High alum is off to a sterling start at UCLA, getting a goal and two assists in his first collegiate start and being named Pac-10 Conference Player of the Week. FIFA: Overwhelmingly approves the formation of a task force to address issues such as bribery, corruption, multi-club ownership and the dearth of the home-grown players in more and more big clubs. RED CARDS
Steau Bucharest: The Romanian club is the first to receive a racist-related stadium ban from UEFA because fans made monkey noises directed at black players on a visiting team from Ireland. Toshimitsu Yoshida: The Japanese referee is suspended indefinitely by the Asian Football Confederation after botching a call that forced the Uzbekistan-Bahrain World Cup qualifier to be replayed. Nonetheless, the men's squad has soldiered on with a full roster. No one transferred as a result of the decision, said Camperell, although any impact next year remains to be seen as underclassmen look to prolong their college careers.
