    Free Setanta this weekend

    If you're a Virgin Media customer you will get free Setanta Sports for the Bank Holiday weekend apparently. Wonder if Setanta is free for those of us with Sky?

  4. If you were Sepp Blatter for the day, which football rules would you change?

    Which bits of footie matches or rules really **** you off? What would improve things for you? Up 10 for dissent? Yellow card sin bins like rugby and hockey? Red card suspensions to match the time the injured player takes to get fit again? Interested in your ideas!

    Best with sound. Watch the original incident after about (0:04) and then the fantastic reaction by Braith Anasta (1:25) the bloke who gets thumped. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VGDBF0xpkvI

    Radio 2 last night

    Was listening to Radio 2 for all of 5 mins on a drive to friends house and they were discussing rugby league names. such as the wigan warriors, leeds rhinos etc. suddenly the presenter dropped southend's name into the ring saying that it wouldn't work in football especially as our nickname is...

  9. Blackout rugby

    Just wondering if anyone else has a blackoutrugby team. It's basically the rugby equivalent of hattrick/battrick. It's still fairly early on in the game (only 4 games into the first season), but so far it seems good. I'm still in the Cup at the moment, but once I've been knocked out I wouldn't...

    Top sporting moment of 2007

    Putting football to one side, what were your sporting highlights of the year? They can be events you were at, or just ones you saw on the box. My top three: 1) Phil Taylor vs Raymond van Barneveld, final of the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championships. Taylor takes a 3-0 lead, Barney pegs him...

  11. Racism at Oxford

    I'm ashamed to say I encountered my first example of racism from a southend "fan" I had the pleasure of sitting next to yesterday. I'm sure many of you remember that we had a bit of banter with a section of oxford fans closest to us in the same stand. One of them was black and appeared to be the...

    We're Proud Of You - Go On England

    So here we are, the final twist of the most amazing rollercoaster ride that has been the 2007 Rugby World Cup. England - your England, my England, everybody's England - have been knocked from pillar to post, criticised, attacked, pilloried, derided, laughed at written off from all quarters...

    Sports that do not work on the radio

    I have listened to a couple of the Rugby World Cup matches on the radio for a time, and have come to the conclusion that this is one of those sports that just do not work on the radio. Football and cricket work well, as does boxing, but most other sports fail to transfer to the spoken word...

    Ten Reasons Why Football is Better Than Rugby

    Taken from The Times.... 1. That bloody song Is there a more depressing sound in sport than 50,000 glory hunters called Tarquin singing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot? It’s an American gospel hymn, chaps – leave it alone. 2. Global appeal When we have a World Cup, the world stops. When you...

    If you think the pain of the All Blacks' shock exit from the rugby World Cup will leave a permanent impression, spare a thought for student Kris Allen - a tattoo heralding the World Cup "winning" 2007 All Blacks is etched on his thigh. It would be a brave - or foolhardy - man to get a tattoo to...
