Football is Boring

I am back. Apologies to my one reader (AJ) – I have been rubbish at writing recently, partly out of laziness but mainly due to a new job. But mainly laziness.  Anyway…football is boring. There, I said it, and I’m not taking it back. My girlfriend, who has been saying it for years, is finallyContinue reading “Football is Boring”

European Super League Redeux: You’re Taking the Piss

Pandemic life has felt like Groundhog Day for most of us, and that’s even without England’s so-called ‘elite’ clubs playing silly buggers (and ultimately being made to look like proper dickheads) for the second time since August.  For the second time in just over six months, football’s self-declared big boys have been caught with theirContinue reading “European Super League Redeux: You’re Taking the Piss”

Nobody can sit on the fence with VAR; like Marmite, glee clubs, or Piers Morgan, it provokes strong emotions.  Personally, I think we should giveContinue reading “So Near, So VAR: How Video Technology has Failed in British Football”

Why is Football So Damn Expensive?

Has anyone else noticed their wallet feeling a lot heavier at the moment? Even with all the takeaways, craft beer deliveries and whatever else we can find to take the edge off of lockdown. The non-football fans are saving money by not going to restaurants or the opera, or whatever it is their kind doContinue reading “Why is Football So Damn Expensive?”

Using Sport as a Platform to Protest

Today I planned to post about the future of football due to lockdown. I have decided to put that post on hold as there is a much more pressing issue at hand: the protests in the USA and justice for George Floyd and the many black people who have died before him at the handsContinue reading “Using Sport as a Platform to Protest”
