Dodgy keeper

Posted by Nik on Wednesday, January 13, 2010, In : General 



The old addage goes that women's football is ok, but the goalkeepers continue to be the weak link. This may be lazy analysis, it may be true. However, this logic also stands fair when watching the African Cup of Nations (or not, given that the BBC don't appear to give a rats ass about the tournament) Anyway, spurious stereotypes aside, it's time to laugh at someone injuring himself uneccesarily

Mealy mouthed men and marketing

Posted by Nik Myles on Tuesday, December 22, 2009, In : General 

Just been reading up on the fiasco at Buckie Thistle, all perfectly encapsulated (when isn't it?) on 200%. It seems unnecessary for me to add further words when Ian has already written so eloquently, but I couldn't let it pass.

The web is full of video of football matches, of varying quality. Both the football and the footage, that is. And whilst the authorities at the top end of the market may feel they are protecting their "product" by trying to limit such footage, those who seek...

Progressing the image of the Women's game

WTF?

I'm all for hilarious observations about the standard of goalkeeping in Women's football. But this? How is this in any way a good thing? (unless you like women in communal baths, obviously)

I keep it now

Posted by Nik Myles on Friday, November 6, 2009, In : General 

Whenever a ball goes into the stands during a match, I always wonder what would happen if the person who grabs it decides that he’s keeping that sucker and that there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
