Sam Martinez the oldest Hibs fan at 106yrs old has sadly passed away, knew him and was friends with his youngest son, feel so sorry for the family and those who knew this remarkable character. He goes to his grave having been the guest of honour as Hibs finally ended their Scottish Cup hoodoo RIP Sam :worthy:

Swedish top-tier club Gif Sundsvall are having to lock the gates to their ground when they're training because of Pokémon Go.

Apparently a rare Pokémon figure called Magmar can be collected from their pitch and their practice sessions kept gettin interrupted by groups of 30-40 kids looking for it :lol:

That Hope Solo from the US women's team has been banned for six months for calling the Sweden team cowards after they knocked America out in the Olympics. Seems a bit harsh no?

Last in a long list of very public incidents from her. IIRC she was accused of domestic abuse towards her boyfriends and family members, her bf/friend was arrested for DUI whilst driving the team bus at her recommendation and she has a list as long as your arm of disciplinaries and making stupid comments like that.

Think of a female version of Balotelli or similar where their attitude and behaviour far overshadows their ability.

Not that it comes as much of a surprise, but Robbie Keane announced his retirement from international football today - he'll win his last cap against Oman next week.

145 games, 67 goals. Incredible service to his country.
It was the only country he ever wanted to play for!

In practice it's a two game ban anyway.

Bit confused over that actually as reports say she got a 6 month ban AND they terminated her contract with US Soccer (i.e. the national team). So, does that not effectively mean she's barred from playing for the US womens team again?

Why do the damn yanks have to make everything so bleeding confusing with their international contracts and terms like "soccer"?!
