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! :(
