Clattenburg v Chelsea – right on cue a bunch of lawyers who weren’t there and haven’t got a clue what happened have decided to involve the Police.
It’s scary how a bunch of lawyers who admit not having a clue about what happened at Chelsea that day have decided to involve the police in the affair. The fact that the players involved and Chelsea have not formally … Continue reading

Let’s make the outcomes equal – if Clattenburg is found to have made racist remarks his career should end, if Mikel has been found to have no case should his career not end also?

Apparently the IOC are having issues with organising a tournament with a group stage. They decided to stagger the final games, probably in order to make more cash, of the group stages. The competitors took notice of the results of … Continue reading
Ukraine v England – Will everyone stop whining about the goal not given. 2 wrongs did make a right here.
So the entire footballing word is distraught that Ukraine’s goal was not allowed. It crossed the line and was not given as a goal. Even Collina says it should have counted. But should it? If we are going to insist … Continue reading

UEFA Champions League – Alaba’s so called Handball – yet another referee fails to do his job, takes the easy way out and UEFA will do nothing about it.

BBC Scotland obviously gets it footy reports written by an Englishman or maybe just an Old Firm idiot
A truly egregious and offensive example of a lack of care and a feeling of total arrogance led to this shite being printed on the BBC website about Alloa Athletic’s trouncing of East Stirlingshire. Nope it wasn’t anything to do … Continue reading

Sun news propagandist and poor man`s Coulter, Krista Erikson thinks treating soccer as an insult is the way to go. Dumb really doesn`t cover it.
The most stupid and vacuous member of the propaganda wing of the Harper party of Canada has decided that the best way to insult someone who has pointed out that she is really a waste of space is to say … Continue reading
