... so if you type in http://www.sixtamesides.co.uk ... you get re-directed to the new site !!
Such are the perils of going for the "cheap" options (one company owning the domain name - and another company hosting it) !!
So now IT REALLY IS "Farewell" ...

As from tonight the "Six Tame Sides" blog will cease to be ... regular viewers will no doubt have noticed that I'm finding it harder and harder to do both pictures - and words. OK the pictures are always there, up and running - but trying to put 500/1000 words with them has been proving a touch too much - especially when I know there are others out there in blog/website world who are doing much the same (albeit without the pictures !!!)
So - for 2014 - it's going to be "concentrate more on the pictures" - so a new blog has been set up - viz.
http://stsphotographic.blogspot.co.uk/
That's where the football stuff will be going - together with a more photographic-based blurb (or in most cases- not too much blurb) - and for those who play catch-up, there's a link on the side of this 'ere blog (plus anyone who uses the sixtamesides.co.uk link will be re-directed to the new blog. I've been playing around on the new'un for a week or so - so there's already a "bit of a start" ...
Happy New Year to you all ...

... taking a new "walking lens" out for a walk - now in a position to just take one lens (18-200mm) out for walks rather than two (28-105mm and 70-300mm) - and pleased with performance of it as well ... pics at

The other chance of the season to see the old "home-town team" - but oh dear oh dear - saw them scrape past Droylsden a month or so ago - but today ... absolutely no chance - in the end a 4-0 defeat could have been a lot worse had it not been for some heroics from Stafford 'keeper Jon Brain.

Relegation looms for the Boro - reading between the lines (as I've only seen them twice) and looking at the league table - they're now 16 points from safety ... a miracle is required in 2014. As for Ashton - now up to 7th with games in hand - play-offs maybe ??

Mossley once again gave one of the top teams a run for their money ... but another tale of errors - and a red card ..

Adam Pepper on the ball for Celtic ...
The "Christmas Rush" relented just a touch - and I got to Bower Fold in time for kick-off (if not for the customary bottle of Peroni !!). Thoroughly entertaining game from a neutral standpoint I suppose - but Celtic must be ruing two dropped points when they were 2-0 and 3-1 up - but fair play to a very good Boston United side who got themselves back into the game in the second half ... and to be honest could have gone on to win it.

Two more working days ... and then straight into the kitchen ...
