Mark's House mixes shared here....

2011-08-08T12:26:00.012Z

Im putting a couple of my deep/hard/whatever house mixes from early 2000 - Depending on how many Im allowed to host! One of these was done by a work colleague. All of the records/clips were from a number of local collections in the Newcastle area where I was working at the time.
If you dont like house music which is of course very different to garage :O/ then dont waste time d/l'ing. It will mostly be a deep or African beats based thing. BTW I have listened to only one of these mixes in ten years and it seemed fairly contemporary.

Apparently being over 45 is too old to listen to banging house....

This is from 6th December 2001 - recorded using Acid on a Windows machine. Worked fairly well I recall but wouldnt want to do it again....neither Acid or acid or windows.

Funky Groove mp3 from 6thDec2001 - House music

Take her down (Uboat mix) from 19thNov2001 Deep House...
There you were jauntily spinning along the surface....

Swan Vesta
You can see I was looking at an ashtray for inspiration with titles...

A Handojin mix from a colleague who never missed a beat TBH.A bit different with proper bo choice of choons. (damn - did I spell that 'ch' rather than 't' & then misspell tunes? shit...crisis

A Masters @ Work mix from 2000'ish with some soulful house stuff from the masters....

Sorry for all the spam on that site but the price is right....Best to d/l.
These might come across as no more than a string of obscure tracks fairly seamlessly stuck together....wait a minute - Think Judge Jules kind of thing without the high prices....

I had fun making them I recall. If you want anymore then email me here: markhodsman1301@googlemail.com and I will stick all ten I have on a CD. (They are all about an 1 hour long) There is also a Masters @ Work mix recorded off the radio in there somewhere. Let me know what you think

Match day Lincoln v DoncasterBelles

So day one of the serious league came and went.

Im definately not an expert in these matters but first impressions was that out on the pitch was two very evenly matched teams. Now that bodes well for the league. Perhaps no more 6-0 or 5-a piece games which although entertaining in their own right are generally 90 minutes of poor defensive errors. This wasn't going to be like that. Casey Stoney of Lincoln said that they played the occasion. Well somewhat understandable and dont knock yourself out Casey or Megan because you didn't win either - this game could have gone either way.

The occasion of course might have accounted for some very early nerves but everything settled down and Lincoln tried to pass it about from the back. The first half belonged to Donny but the second half was Lincoln's.

Sue Smith deserves a mention for a classy performance as does Leandra Little at the back. Keeper Hawke was solid as usual.

Another observation was that the crowd seemed so much more in sync with what was happening on the pitch and they seemed to genuinely enjoy the level of football on display. Some of the Women’s FACup crowds though large are just generally having too much of a good time to watch, at least IMO.

I have to say I really enjoyed the game and I think the 740 odd crowd might come back for some more.

Came across this link http://www.livefootball.net/ for Livefootball streams that has good potential for the Womens WSL games and WWC. Here is a snippet...'The games are streamed around the world (that’s where all that “TV Money” comes from!), and all we do at Live Football is tell you where to find those streams. It’s completely legal for us to tell you this information, and legal for you to watch it. The only criminal thing is the price that Sky charge football fans for a handful of matches.'

Not only great potential for WSL but all premier games are streamed...Check out the site. I have emailed the admin to clarify the availability of WSL and WWC games. Stay tuned.

2010-04-11T18:44:00.004Z

Something of a freak goal seperated the two teams. Chelsea defended well though and Leeds never worried Siobhan Chamberlain. Chelsea deserved the result I thought but really had nothing much upfront. They looked like a team happy with a point for most of the game.

This is the most surreal picture. Looks like a shot from the matrix....

Everton v Sunderland (4:0)

2010-04-04T23:48:00.006Z

Everton easily coped with Sunderland and were good value for 4 in the first half. Sunderland sorted themselves out in the second and held the score at 4 to nothing. Whether Everton can do similar to Arsenal next week is unlikely. But its a rehearsal for the Cup final which should be a competitive affair.

Laura Bassett and Sophie Walton were laughing because I was so close when I fired this off. In fact any closer and they'd both have even bigger headaches this morning.

Laura Bassett was obviously fed up at waiting for silverware at Arsenal so clever switch to Leeds. Id ask her for lottery numbers when you see her next...

Rick Passmore delighted it wasnt a runners up medal

Well done Sue Smith!!

Well done Leeds. I had you coming a distant second before kick off so what do I know?

Blackburn v OOHLincoln (1:0) FACup5th round

2010-02-07T21:59:00.006Z

Lincoln went out after a memorable effort. They matched the Premier side for most of the game but were beaten in the last half of extratime as the players legs crumbled. Blackburn were good value and but for motm Kaye Hawke the scoreline could have been worse.

Some of the memorable players below...

Happy New Year....

2009-12-31T08:49:00.010Z

My favourite shot of 2009...
Jill Scott wins the semi-final against Holland. At the time Im suffering with a terrible infection in my leg and struggling to concentrate, but Englands two goals at this end of the park showed some joyful scenes and eased the pain a bit!

The FAcup next round also brings the side event 'largest number of players in a square yard competition'. Held last time between the same two competing sides. Will they be as good as the internationals above....

I knew there was something missing since Lincoln's move away from Collingham....less knockers. Those intent on giving
ladyimps a bad name is surely a good thing.

Turkey women v England Women....
The Turkish squad line up. Im terrible at faces and Im not quick to judge books by covers but they look suspiciously like stewards and they really should be forced to play in shorts.

bit of a soft spot for stewards....
Always play the word 'Steward' in the Finnish scrabble edition. Its worth 2700 points minimum.

Lincoln won a great encounter with Newcastle after extra time and penalties. It was a weird shoot-out in the end with more misses than goals and a keeper booked for booing a kick taker after the ref seemed to listen to the concerns of the crowd.
Stacey Aisthorpe was outstanding and she shared motm with keeper Kay Hawker in the Lincoln goal - IMHO.

Womens Euros 2009 Top 20 shots

2009-09-12T15:08:00.007Z

Well after almost catastrophic kit failure I still had something to shoot with. I ususally have two camera bodies but one of these and a laptop was destroyed on the flight. Then my other camera decided it was going to get stuck in various modes and generally playup. It always has been a little bit quirky but as it gets used much less than my other body its relatively few shutter ops.

It was a good competition and at least England made it to the final. Germany were brilliant and England very good - definately top two or three teams out of the 12 starters.

These shots whilst not necessarily best composition or the sharpest each one makes a point or re-emphasises one. For instance Birgit Prinz and her world dominance; Katy Chapman as arguably Englands player of the tourney and Kelly Smith for running her close.

Donny opened the scoring within a few minutes catching Watford on the hop. They then made it 2:0 with a corner that beat the keeper. Conditions were poor with snow and biting wind but Donny looked focused on the task of beating the Southerners and with a few players away it was a good effort.

2009-01-25T22:11:00.004Z

The lady Imps cruised to the quarter finals of the Women's FA Cup today with an emphatic 3-1 victory over local rivals Nottingham Forest.

The game was dominated for the most part by Lincoln, who overall played the better football, but Forest did have their chances.

Within the first minute Forest hit the bar from a free kick just outside the box, and the first ten minutes of the game belonged to the Nottingham side.

Lincoln goalie Kay Hawke was forced to make a magnificent save with six minutes gone, but just ten minutes later Lincoln struck with the all important first goal courtesy of right wing Sophie Barker.

Amanda Barr swung in a pin-point accurate cross to find Barker unmarked near the penalty spot, with Forest's left back Ellie Gilliatt having been drawn in by two other runners. Barker took one touch and half-volleyed the ball hard into the back of the net to give the hosts a priceless 1-0 lead.

On the half hour Leandra Little's 40 yard free kick could have given OOH Lincoln their second goal, however her effort hit the bar and rebounded back into play.

With just a minute to go to the half time whistle Amanda Barr latched on to a through-ball and could have shot herself, but she selflessly put in the perfect cross along the ground to the onrushing Jodie Michalska, who slid in to put the ball into an empty net and take her team into the changing room at half time 2-0 up.

From the start of the second half, Forest came out hunting for a goal, but were unable to penetrate the solid Lady Imps defence, until the 38th minute.

A high ball was lofted in at the Lincoln goal - keeper Kay Hawke was able to get a glove to the ball and keep it out of the net. But the ball fell to Forest's Andi Bell, who found herself unmarked at the near post and slotted the ball easily into the undefended goal to pull her side back to within one goal of the hosts.

Just a minute later Jodie Michalska could have regained the two goal advantage for her side if her powerful header off a lightning Kerry Smith cross hadn't been spectacularly saved by the Forest keeper, Claire Wallhead.

But the Lady Imps didn't have long to wait for the goal that was effectively to see them through to the quarter-final stages of the FA Cup.

On 59 minutes, Lincoln right-back Mel Cook chanced her arm from 40 yards with a powerful dipping shot - the ball flew just under the bar over the helpless Forest keeper to make the final score 3-1 to OOH Lincoln Ladies, who now look forward to the draw on Monday to see who they will be facing in the quarter-final.

Jodie Michalska nearly made the score four to Lincoln when she found herself one-on-one with the keeper. A deep long-ball left he Forest back four stranded, but the Lady Imps striker decided to try to take the ball round the keeper and Wallhead was able to snatch the ball away from the Lincoln strikers feet to keep the score down to 3-1.

"I'm absolutely delighted with the result, and importantly the performance, from my players today," said OOH Lincoln Ladies F.C. chairman Geoff Adams.

"Forest manager Lisa Dawkins said on their website that Lincoln had a point to prove, and she was right. We felt hard done by last season, and we did have a point to prove, and I think my players went out there and proved it, beyond any measure of doubt. We played the better football, we were the most committed, and over all we were the better team on the day - and I had absolutely no doubt before the game that this would be the case!"

"As well as the performance, I'm obviously delighted with the result, which means we progress through to the quarter finals again - I'm delighted for the girls, especially after losing to Curzon two weeks ago, this is a huge bonus for us. Following our emphatic victory over Forest today, I think we can definitely feel good about our progression through to the quarter-finals. Let's see if we can make the semi-finals again" he said.

Arsenal took a little longer to wear down Chelsea but they did eventually and made it look easy. Truth was it turned out to be a very entertaining match and a real showcase for the womens game. A good crowd and some decent weather.

There are some rusty teams out there....teams who havent played or trained much. Some teams handle it better than others and Donny had almost no efforts on goal save for Suzanne Davies tap in and a wind assisted punt from their own half. Liverpool easily deserved the points with Cheryl Foster lobbing the keeper in the first few minutes. The 2nd half was dominated by Liverpool.

OOH Lincoln vs Curzon Ashton (0:1) FACup 4th

2009-01-04T19:37:00.006Z

OH Lincoln ladies were knocked out of the FA Cup yesterday afternoon by Curzon Ashton.

Lincoln dominated much of the match, but missed a plethora of chances in front of goal - however it was Curzon who will progress to the 5th round of the Cup.

A single goal with only 7 minutes of the match remaining from Curzon's Emma Lambourne was enough to see Lincoln exit the competition at the 4th round stage.

Scorer Emma Lambourne

With just 10 minutes of the match played Anna Renkin fired just over the bar missing a good opportunity to give the home side an early lead.

And with just 4 minutes of the first half remaining Carla Ward directed a powerful header from a Jodie Michalska cross just over the crossbar.

Lincoln's performance improved during the second half - the introduction of Kerry Smith on the left wing and Sophie Barker on the right saw much of the play take part in the Curzon end.

A 48th minute through ball from Barker found Amanda Barr near to goal, but the Lincoln striker fired just wide of the far post.

A powerful curling cross to the far post found the head of Kerry Smith, who headed powerfully on target, but the Curzon keeper pulled off a spectacular diving save to deny Lincoln the lead, and Megan Harris's follow-up shot in front of an open goal somehow went over the bar.

Jodie Michalska found her way round two Curzon players in the 68th minute, but once again her powerful shot was blocked by the keeper.

With 77 minutes gone Jodie Michalska flicked on a good cross from Amanda Barr to Kerry Smith - but Smith's shot hit the near post to go out for a corner.

Just 2 minutes later Carla Ward headed on target from a good cross, but the keeper was equal to it.

With just 7 minutes of the match remaining Curzon's Emma Lambourne managed to round Lincoln defender Mel Cook, she fired off a tight angled shot which brought a good save from Lincoln keeper Kay Hawke, but the ball rebounded back into Lambourne's path and she converted easily from close range.

With just a minute to go Lincoln might have saved the match - Leandra Little headed powerfully down off a corner only to miss the far post by a couple of inches and Amanda Barr was presented with an open goal from a Kerry Smith cross, but just failed to connect with the ball.

"This was a very frustrating day for us," admitted OOH Lincoln Ladies manager Rod Wilson. "There's no doubt about it, we didn't perform well today - it was a poor match for us. Even so we had so many chances to kill this match off and we didn't take them. If you squander so many chances in front of goal you are asking for trouble, and that's exactly what happened to us in this match" he said.

Leeds Vixens vs Sunderland (1:6) FACup 3rd

2008-12-21T18:12:00.008Z

I watched the first 45 of this 3rd round dominated by the ref.
Sunderland started off with a pen tucked away followed by Leeds having two attempts to equalise from the spot minutes later. They failed and ended up defending deeply. Sunderland scored a few more from open play and made easy work of the Vixen defence before another controversial pen. It ended the half at 0:5.
