So crap they pay you to watch

Energie Cottbus – not a football team many of you will know, and hardly one challenging Barcelona for the Champions League title. No matter though – the German league is more than enough! Well, so people thought when they travelled nearly 400 miles to watch their favourite team play high-flying Schalke.
What the 600 or so [...]

A Sunday league football match in Manchester, UK has become the scene of a rather weird decision by a referee after one of the players farted. International Manchester FC were playing a match against Chorlton Villa when they were given a penalty. When the player stepped up to take the kick, a Cholton Villa player [...]

Odd goals galore

I was routing round the webbernets the other day when I came upon a few videos of some of the weirdest goals you can find, so I thought I would share them with you, the unwashed masses.

This is a goal by Sweden against Iceland in a Euro 2008 – it seems that the Iceland team [...]

Ball to the face

Seeing as Lebanon has a touchy history with Syria, this was a bit of a boo-boo. If you know your current affairs, you’d know that at the moment the [...]

Football: God’s game?

As Britain has absolutely no teams in this year’s Euro 2008 championships due to them all being rubbish, it could well be a bored summer for some people. However, Britain DOES have a team in a football competition taking place as we speak, its just not what you would expect…

A lesson in co-operation

With the football season almost over, its big match time. With Manchester United playing Chelsea in the Champion’s League final and Rangers playing Zenit St. Petersburg in the UEFA Cup final, this year is a good one for British fans.
Only problem is for some people that want to watch these games is that they may [...]
