The BBC are reporting
that the Algerian FA are planning on airlifting fans directly into
Benguela, ahead of Thursday's somewhat sensitive African Cup of
Nation's semi final with Egypt. To say there is previous between the
two would be an understatement.
There is a far
better breakdown of all that went before on
TwoHundredPercent; but I think it is fair to say that the BBC may be

Match reports will no longer be posted to this site.
OopsUpsideYourHead will continue to serve you sporadic bursts of news, as and when time allows, so don't start planning your route to Beachy Head just yet.
But if you want concise, accurate and reverantial match reports on some of the best non-league football out there to wade thru overly wordy, unfocused accounts of some piss-poor footballers, please head over to Beat The First Man.
Alright, so they're not all wearing balavlavas, and there is barely a
mortar gun to be seen. In fact I would be surprised if most of the
protagonists had a grasp on the finer nuances of the Good Friday
agreement. But I think it is fair to say that the personnel involved in
this Irish Cup game between Newry v Larne may have one or two

The old addage goes that women's football is ok, but the goalkeepers

<cliche mode>Football over the
Christmas period is as good excuse as any to get yourself out of the
house and away from family rows</cliche mode>
At 10am
this morning I was tidying the house and going to Sutton v Kirkby.
After reading of Mr Waite's plans for the day, the house remained
untidied, and I was off for a double header, starting with Radford v
Holwell Sports. Only to find out the Sutton game was off. Best laid
plans, eh?
