We should dave.

However is football the real problem or is there an underlying issue of which we are all too familiar? The religion responsible for murdering people at random whilst the killers yell 'God is great' is not restricted around the globe to just football is it?

I sat and re watched Danny diers the real football factory a documentary on the hooligans from around Britain, some people just find a way to find hate and to hurt the cover of football, religion or politics is just an easy get out for the hate in there sole, I was walking out of the ground on Saturday and looked over at the city fans stood shouting and giving the wanker sign to our fans as we walked out, I was walking next to women, children and older men. So I stopped and smiled and clapped then for there win...... One shouted fuck off and the other four looked at me stoped and started to clap back there friend looked at then and started to clap too, the three police men standing in front of them looked at me and gave a nod to me with one mouthing thank you, this was by fans of a winning team, what would they have done if they had lost!!!

Sportsmanship happens all to rarely these days doesn't it? With a nod towards Pakistan of course, Turkey is the last place I'd have expected this to happen. Reminds me of Robbie Fowler desperately attempting to get a wrongly awarded penalty decision against Seaman overturned.

Well…cocain is a hell of a drug (so I have been told!) and it’s is very cheap in Colombia (so I have been told!). I wonder how cheap it is to buy a result in Colombia? It seems like goalkeeper didn’t get any money like the rest of his team mates

What a belting own goal

Will a better own goal be scored this season?

Dundee's luckless Paul McMullan finds his own net with a stunning diving header in his side's Scottish Premiership defeat by Hibernian.

I'm just watching an A league game Sydney v Western united in a very wet Sydney.
Anyway there's a Burundian (yes, Burundian) international playing right wing for Sydney, Elvis (yes Elvis) Kamsoba. He's as quick as lightening, has a good turn on him and can pick a pass. He'd be no good as a target man as he's on 1.65m tall, but shit he's quick.

Is he good in handling a ball or is just kick and run?

Robin, he reminded me somewhat of Dolan (though no doubt Dolan would tower over him).
He has good skills, runs around like a terrier, but his size works against him.
