Victory for Hillsborough victims....at last

Image
A slightly different entry today as I celebrate the verdict of the Government to ensure the release of all files and details of the horrific Hillsborough tragedy which occurred twenty two years ago. Ninety-six unsuspecting football fan's died, 766 were injured. A human tradegy didn't really sum up the scale of the disaster. All the injured and dead were Liverpool fan's, something which rocked the City and the whole Country, and still to this day, the families of the deceased and the injured still seek the answers they feel they are entitled to. The Hillsborough disaster was and still is the deadliest stadium tradegy in British history, and one of the worst in International football, coming just four years after the infamous Heysel accident, also involving Liverpool. Heysel though was a completely different set of circumstances and it has been proved that at a time of football hooliganism, Liverpool fan's were at fault for the Belgian incident. This time however...

Just How Good Is Lionel Messi ????

Very, is the simple answer here. Yet another formidable performance from the Argentinian magician against English Champions Manchester United at Wembley in the Champions League Final saw his club Barcelona cruise to a 3-1 win at the hands of the Manchester club. The win propelled the Spanish giants to super-stardom, that's if you have been living on Mars for the last few years that is!!! The victory saw Barca notch up their fourth European Cup victory, this followed them winning their third consecutive domestic title, beating their bitter rivals Real Madrid into second again. Now I watch a lot of Football and I am now starting to run out of superlatives for this current Barcelona side, just the sheer dominance of the past couple of season speaks volumes but here I am going to spell out just how influential and consistent the jewel in their crown is, the one, the only, Lionel Messi. I heard some rumours about the chance of Cristiano Ronaldo being touted around for the extraordi...

Friendlies??? What is the point...

As one of the most exciting weekends of football the Premier League has ever had comes dribbling to an end, we are all left with the expectation of another one rapidly approaching, bar one small detail......International friendlies!!!! Now as an avid football fan I make no mistake in thinking that after 25/26 games gone in the English elite competition, the Premier League, why in hell have we got a near full fixtures list of internationals???!!! Surely this is unthinkable and no surprise that the likes of Steven Gerrard etc have pulled out with 'injuries' Now I'm sure Mr Gerrard will be playing some part in Liverpool's game against Wigan at Anfield this coming weekend, and therefore enforcing my view of having international friendlies at this stage of the season is ludicrous!! With just over ten games to go before the curtain closes on another season, the fuck wit's at the F.A arrange a friendly?? What are they thinking??!! I sympathise with club fans, I for on...

Why do we do it??!!

As this is my first ever post I shall keep it short, sweet and to the point...…I walked into work on Monday, as I do every(well most) Mondays, to the unprecedented barrage of abuse that comes as part and parcel of supporting a football club. My team had not only failed to win but struggled to secure a measly point from without sounding to harsh, a lower club than that of ourselves...….or so we think. We think this because no matter what club you may support/follow, the fact of the matter is is that club is the best club in the world to each and every individual, blind to the fact that there are other teams considerably better or have more financial clout than yours, yet your club remains strong and proudly in your heart and for the vast majority of football fans will remain till death do you part. Results, managers, leagues and cups come and go, but you remain strong and instilled in the belief that your club will once again be great or surprise you and surpass your every expectations....
