No internet, penalty tries, headbutts and THAT GOAL.

So after finally getting internet back at approximately 12.00 yesterday, 39 hours after it initially went down, I have remembered to blog. The lack of internet led to an interesting weekend, including me falling asleep, whilst sober, at 11pm, and also, missing the Bradford Bulls game and other fun things.

Now the main point for discussion here is the goal, for 76 minutes, the game was all square after a decent goal from Nani and a dodgy deflected goal from Dzeko/Silva, and going for a (deserved) draw, until up stepped Mr Rooney, out of nowhere - a legendary bicycle kick, leaving Joe Hart standing to watch as it flew into the top corner, I agonisingly missed the initial goal due to making lunch but managed to catch the replay.. and what a goal it was... I've run out of superlatives to describe it.

Now despite lack of internet I tried all measures to watch the Bulls game, first of all - the common room - no Sky Sports 2, this was followed by taking a trip over to Wetherspoons - Couldn't connect up to the internet and got no help from the staff so desperate times led to desperate measures - Freeview radio. I switched on and listened to the Bulls cruise to a 28 - 10 lead, till with 20 minutes remaining - the fight-back. All started by a disallowed Chev Walker try (that apparantly - should have stood), this was followed by 3 Leeds tried, pulling the score to 28 - 26 - until a Ben Jones-Bishop - chasing a kicked ball, was tackled off the ball by new Bulls star Gareth Raynor (Fresh off a jail sentance for fraud... :/ ), after a LONG wait - the video referee, decided to give a penalty try, now according to the rules of the game - penalty tries are only given IF the opposing player is CERTAIN to score... now chasing a bouncing ball on a slippery pitch is NOT a guaranteed try... my opinion is penalty... conversion gets kicked = 28-28.... So again... we were robbed at Millenium stadium... helped by Mr Steve "The Incredible Scouse.... Twat..." Ganson.

Moving on to tonights fixture - Tottenham v AC Milan, involving a great Peter Crouch goal, a disallowed Milan goal, both overshadowed by Gattuso's disgraceful actions at the final whistle, after earlier grabbing Tottenhams Assistant Manager Joe Jordan by the the throat, at the final whistle, he headbutted Jordan in full view of cameras and the Tottenham bench, it took numerous players and staff members to restrain both Gattuso and Jordan, in my opinion this behaviour is disgraceful and Gattuso should get a lengthy ban in addition to his current one match ban (For a yellow card).

Overall, a decent weekend of sport, unfortuanately my week of Uni starts tomorrow - not fun! :(

First Blog

So yeah, I'm new to this, so this first blog may be a bit shit. Anyway - as I sit here at 10 to 2 in the morning waiting to fall asleep I decided to make this. I love to rant usually, so this should be a good thing!

First of all, the weekend of sport coming up, personally, I can't wait - Spending tomorrow watching the Manchester Derby, before being reunited with my beloved rugby league, a great weekend of fixtures as well, starting with Huddersfield v Warrington, and the day of rugby ends with St. Helens v Wigan. Also going to have a watch of the England v Italy rugby union game, as for Sunday - its all about the Bradford Bulls v Leeds Rhinos game. Hopefully this will be the season that we turn it around and actually win something, despite losing Matt Orford and Chris Nero, I'm looking at the positives. With Mick Potter managing us, and new signings such as Matt Diskin, Chev Walker, Bryn Hargreaves, Marc Herbert and Patrick Ah Van, we have all we need to succeed, add these guys to players like Dave Halley, Brett Kearney, Craig Kopzczak, Nick Scruton and Heath L'Estrange, along with long-serving Bulls Andy Lynch and Jamie Langley, we have the team we need to do well, especially with emerging prospects such as Vinnie Finnigan, James Donaldson and Elliott Whitehead. We've also gotten rid of Rikki Shitheap (Sheriffe) and Michael Worrincy (The only man to be 2 yards from the try-line with no opponents in the way to manage to drop the fucking ball!) So hopefully we can at least make the play-offs!

Onto my other sporting love - Manchester United - Big game for us tomorrow, hopefully we can bounce back from last weekends unlucky defeat with a win, otherwise it puts our season at risk, we're highly unlikely to win the champions league thanks to Barcelona, so if we slip up in the title race it leaves the FA Cup, admittedly - I wouldn't mind winning that, as we haven't done so since beating Millwall in 2004, but still... Premier League would be much better!

Secondly, I need to rant about university, after going so far without failing (somehow!) I today faced the hardest exam so far, hopefully I've coped and managed a pass but I'm not holding my breath, next year my 3 distinctions will NOT be focussed around the UK Economy. I want to do Advertising/Marketing. Not Economics. Just saying... don't risk screwing up the whole classes grades over something most of us don't care about.

Anyways - That was my first blog so yeahhh. Thanks for reading. Peace out! Much Love! Bye!
