Romanian lower league outfit Timisul Urseni have done away with the traditional stretcher. Instead, their injured players are transported off the pitch in a motorised wheelbarrow. The barrow is clearly a crowd favourite, earning massive cheers as it makes its way onto the pitch. Given the showboating from the 'injured' player as the stretcher heads [.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been very public in expressing the sadness he is currently experiencing at Real Madrid. But the Portuguese star was able to put that behind him as manager Jose Mourinho reduced him to fits of laughter during a training session. We know the Special One is a miracle worker, but talking round a [.
While millions of people the world over are buying things like Fifty Shades of Grey and Coldplay
albums just because other people are buying them, the same sort of momentum rarely attaches itself
to those of us at the humbler end of the spectrum. But The Fulham Review is just as
special in its own way, and contains some wonderful things by some fine writers, so please do have
a look if you're in any way tempted.
It was another long slog, but the new Fulham Review is here.
Usual stuff, 108 pages of match reports, Dave's departing heroes, Colin's stats, and more
historical marvels from Nick Johnson. There are also outstanding contributions from Alex L,
'Hatter' Don Hymel and Jamie R. John Cummins made the cover better!

This dates from last Sunday so it's getting on a bit in internet years and there's a good chance
you may have already seen it, but here's Dardania Lausanne 'keeper Dominique Niederhauser
absolutely larruping one in from well over 70 (pushing 80) yards in their 1-6 away tonking ofÂ
Genolier-Begnins in the Swiss sixth tier.
A couple of gutsy, Atletico Mineiro-associated graffiti vandals went to the trouble of first
scaling and then re-christening the 'Christ The Redeemer' statue that looks out over the
Milionarios region of Belo Horizonte (a smaller-scale copy of Rio de Janeiro's iconic landmark),
spraying Ronaldinho's name and number across our Lord and Saviour's back in a homage to his club's
new superstar signing there was only one small flaw.
Cheers for the tip, NL! Watching topless 'ballers moving and grooving in a confined watery space to
celebrate a teammate's birthday is plain awesome. Don't just take our word for it, Kickettes.
Watch and see for yourselves.
For their third Olympics in a row and fourth time overall, the United States Women's National
Team stood at the center podium, and had gold be put around their necks. Even sweeter was the
victory, which came at the expense of Japan, who stole the 2011 World Cup in a heartbreaking
penalty shootout last summer.
This article titled "Euro 2012: Fernando Torres calls time on Ireland as Spain's real No9″ was
written by Sid Lowe in Gdansk, for The Guardian on Thursday 14th June 2012 21.05 UTC
He was gone before Richard Dunne could even react. Before anyone could. Fernando Torres
accelerated past the Ireland centre-back, cruised beyond Stephen Ward and sent the ball screeching
into the top corner, taking all the doubts and the debates with it.
Denmark take on Slovakia tonight in an International friendly, their last warm up match before
World Cup Qualifiers in September. Manager Morten Olsen has confirmed Featured player Nicklas
Bendtner will play only 45 mins because its his first match this pre-season.
Expect to see Bendtner upfront in a usuall 4-3-3 attacking formation from Denmark, N.
The first match in ' The group of death ' Group B starts tomorrow with Nicklas Bendtner and
Denmark involved. The Danes take on Holland in Ukraine, Denmark are underdogs going into the
crucial tie but lets not forget in 1992 suprised everyone by going and winning the European
Championships.
Featured player Nicklas Bendtner feels he is not yet quiet 100% in sharpness although the
Denmark attacker feels he is obviously in better shape than 2 years ago when he & Denmark travelled
to South Africa for the World Cup 2010 where he had a groin injury. Denmark face Brazil on Saturday
in a International Friendly in Hamburg, Germany which is sure to be a really good encounter.
Guest post from Shaz Rahman. For our younger viewers, Coventry's fall may be neither here
nor there. But for a very long time they were one of those unrelegateable teams that simply stuck
around forever, punching above their weight and annoying bigger clubs on an annual basis. They
won the FA Cup, gloriously, in 1987, and it's fair to say they've had some of the great football
kits of all time.

Rumours have been flying around all week about featured player Nicklas Bendtner's club future,
it is not yet certain where he will be playing in the 2012-13 season yet. Personally I don't know
what's going on, the transfer market is very quiet at the minute and it seems like clubs are
anxious to spend big.

the competitors have dragged themselves over the week's finishing line, Kickette staffers wheeze
their way into the final straight. Only a few more steps to go. Cheers us on, would you? GOOD WEEK
Marmite Man: Juan Mata got a mixed reception [.
So here it is. Last day of the season and the all important game that could decide a variety of
issues as we go into the summer. Manager, players in and out and if we are dining at the big boys
table next season. To be honest, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this thinking, I'm truly
disappointed that 3rd place isn't signed, sealed and confirmed already and this game being the
celebration of that for the Spurs faithful.
How utterly brilliant is that?! For those of you sitting there thinking, what the hell have you
won? I find myself staring back at you asking where the hell have you been?

I hope everyone had a lovely 4th of July. I know I did. The lights are back on here at
WVHooligan. I may be a little slow getting back to my normal stuff here today.
Anyways, it's good to be back from my little Chicago vacation.
Cheers,
Drew
The post ...And We're Back appeared first on WVHooligan.
Just a little note, the next few days I'll be in the Windy City on a little trip to visit some
family and see all things Chicago. If time permits I'll add some posts here and there on here but
more than likely I'll return to full posting next week after the 4th of July.
Cheers everyone.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Our series of fan posts continues with a post from Avery
Kravitz, who writes about following the Union from New England.
There are three things New England sports fans enjoy doing; Watching the Patriots, hating the
Yankees, and clinging to the hope that the Big Three can stay out of a retirement home long enough
to win another NBA title.
Our first little soccer venue here in MLS is now a pesky teenager.
Hard to believe where it today compared to when it first opened back in 1999. Thirteen years
ago today the Columbus Crew opens Crew Stadium before a sold-out crowd of 24,741, the first MLS
stadium built specifically for soccer in the United States as Columbus beat the New England
Revolution 2-0.
This past week, David Beckham turned 37-years-old two days before Sex Fabregas celebrated his
25th b-day with girlfriend, Daniella Semaan, Leo Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo (who, from the photos
we saw, was with wine glass throughout the evening). Even though it freaks all of us out (David
included) to think of you both aging, a belated congratulations guys!
Hi all. Hope you like the new design, but more importantly, the new direction this site will
take over the summer and coming season.
I don't want to speak for the editor-in-chief, but we're hoping the slight change of direction
will breath some fresh life into this site that is going on its sixth year.

Cheers for the tip, Joe P! Set to one of the most ear piercingly bad soundtracks on planet Earth,
here's AS Roma's first team shirtless in a man-made lake. Or something like that. And here's more
pictures to prove it really happened. Damn watermarks.
H/T to headbandsandheartbreak for the spot! Cheers to Playford FC, who not only offer a fair bit of
on-pitch nudity in this promo vid for their team (always welcome on a Monday morning), but an
insight into the practicalities of having our dreams come true. Playford FC. The stuff (our) dreams
are made of.
Nearly three months ago I made a decision to put All Roads Lead Somewhere to bed as it were, but
influenced by numerous requests to reconsider this I have had a change of heart and bowed to peer
pressure and reversed my decision.
It is debatable whether the posts will contain as much detail as in previous seasons, but one thing
is guaranteed and that is there will be plenty of obscure football clubs visited during the course
of the season.
Good morning, after 10 days out of the saddle I'm straight back in the game and off the bench to
mix my metaphors.
I am slightly browner than when we last spoke, due to the fact they have this amazing thing in
Spain called summer. The sun shines, it's warm and the sea isn't as cold as a football agent's
heart.
TECATE LAUNCHES NATION-WIDE SEARCH FOROFFICIAL SOCCER CORRESPONDENT TEAMAdult
Fans Encouraged to Apply for a Chance to Cover Fútbol Game of their Choice in Mexico or

"It's a cruel way to have lost it," he said. "But you have to congratulate the
other team. Any team that wins it obviously deserves it and they have played well throughout the
season.
