Getting on a bit
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
This is a pretty good read:

http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/apr/15/world-cup-stunning-moments-dennis-bergkamp-wonder-goal

It's about Bergkamp's goal vs Argentina.

The bit I found most amazing was this:

onald de Boer's pass is flat and hard and waist high too high to control with my foot and too low for my chest so I have to fall to my left and squash my body so that I can cushion it with my head but where do I cushion it out of the corner of my eye I see Kluivert making a run off Chamot if I head it towards him between Sensini and Chamot the control will be too difficult at high speed besides there isn't much space there the space is between Sensini who has come towards me and Ayala who has gone out to meet de Boer so I need to play almost a square pass with my head the other side of Sensini into the angle of Kluivert's run I can't cushion it as gently with my head as with my foot but that's fine because the space is fairly big and if I head it too softly Roa will stay on his line and stay big so it's okay to put a fraction more on it to entice Roa from his line because if he comes out Kluivert has a much easier finish.

He is talking about his assist for Kluivert for Holland's first goal - the amount of detail and info he considers in probably less than a second is amazin.

Petrov and Hartson to present the trophy on 11th May. Won't John be scared in case a riot kicks off with all those big, bad Celtic fans?

Apparently it is in Hull City's interest to lose their league game against Arsenal, if they want to gain a spot in Europe.

On the same day that Arbroath beat Bon Accord 36 - 0, Dundee Harp beat Aberdeen Rovers 35 - 0. The ref in the Dundee Harp match had the score at 37 - 0 but the Dundee officials corrected him, only to find out the Arbroath score the next day.

This story sounds very dubious...

Great name, all the same. :thumbsup:


Edit: apart from the mad Police one a few years ago. Can't remember it at the minute. :(

I have never been so glad to see Celtic not get mentioned in a New York Times article about how soccer is becoming huge among hipsters in New York.

Sample retch-inducing passage:

Quote:
 

“Any time I’m at a book party or reading, and soccer comes up in conversation, I find myself surrounded by young men in shabby-genteel, loosely fitting tweed jackets gushing over the Gunners,” Ms. Schaap said. “In such settings, being an Arsenal supporter is even more predictable than having an M.F.A. or a pair of horn-rimmed glasses.”

And these are the crowds you want to attract to our bar if the huns make it back to the top division? ;)

As long as they pay, drink and then get out I can deal.

Not like there aren't a few hipsters in trendy gear already swanning around the place ...

Keith Olbermann was bitching about this the other night. :lol: He was pretty much right on. What a stupid article. The last line is funny though.

Saw this on Twitter, the Saudi Arabia 1989 under 16 world cup team that beat Scotland in the final on penalties.

Cheating the SFA would be proud of.

Cant find a picture of the Scotland team.
