Dex on fire, Campo, Tys & more from the Mirror: news roundup

LTLF 20 November @ 04:02 AM EST
Reports suggest that one of our crocked strikers, Dexter Blackstock, could make a return in tomorrow's match at Middlesbrough, but also that Nathan Tyson will remain on the sidelines for a few weeks yet. Chris Gunter missed Wales' match last week but should be fit to resume tomorrow. For all you stats fans, Forest are now [. Click to continue reading...

Burley’s time with Scotland comes to an end

South Africa 2010 17 November @ 05:44 AM EST
Burley's assistants, Terry Butcher and Paul Hegarty, were also released, 48 hours after Scotland succumbed to a 3-0 friendly defeat by Wales. The SFA had decided against dismissing Burley last month following a review of the national squad's failure to reach the World Cup qualifying play-offs. But Saturday's humiliation in Cardiff proved .

Burley on the outs; Souness thinks Scotland lack talent

WDKF | Qualified Football Arm Chair Managers Slash Pundits 16 November @ 09:32 AM EST
Scotland's 0-3 defeat to Wales at the weekend has all but sealed Burley's fate, however, and reports from Bonnie Scotland state George will soon be on the dole. But who would replace Burley? And are Scotland's failures really a management issue? Graeme Souness may have just crossed himself off a few Christmas card lists as he told the press he wouldn't want the Scotland job primarily because the country has produced no talent to work with.

Video: Aaron Ramsey adds to Burley's misery

Soccerblog 16 November @ 09:21 AM EST

Ramsey was incandescent in Wales 3-0 victory over a disjointed Scotland side. The third goal reminded me of the way Fabregas took off against Spurs for his goal. And now George Burley faces the axe.

Bye George?

The Scottish Football Blog 14 November @ 06:41 PM EST
Once more, with a little less feeling.That probably sums up another abject Scottish performance as well as anything could.This was bad, bad, bad. Scotland were humiliated again by Wales. The question remains: how many of these performances can we endure before a change is made.Before the game George Burley justified his selection of a full back, Danny Fox, because "he'd worked ever so hard" Click to continue reading...

Azzurrini lose to Hungary, qualification in doubt, worst Italy U-21 team of all time?

The Offside: Italy 13 November @ 12:18 PM EST

The Italy U-21's continued their very disappointing qualifying campaign with another loss, this time away to Hungary. The Azzurrini needed a win to get back on track, but now qualification is getting more and more difficult. The Hungarians won 2-0, with goals coming from Nemeth and Koman (both players played on the Hungarian side that knocked the Italy U-20's out of the U-20 World Cup last month).

Bellamy, You Must Be Joking

English Premier league 02 November @ 06:33 AM EST

If there is one thing that really grinds the Yank's gears it is when athletes that commit a stupid act try to defend it weeks later rather then just allowing the situation to pass and admitting their own stupidity.Â

Manchester City player and Wales team captain Craig Bellamy was recently a guilty party of such a crime.

Ugly Billy’s Fuming Warriors

LTLF 01 November @ 06:09 PM EST
There are few better places to score a last minute goal than Cardiff. Fans from Yorkshire and Wales are graceless winners and volatile losers. They celebrate goals with a goading, Neanderthal insolence that has a tendency to leave visitors feeling three inches tall. By the same token they respond to misfortune with crimson-faced rage and [.

Cardiff City 1 – 1 Nottingham Forest

LTLF 01 November @ 04:04 PM EST
The great Dylan Thomas once wrote, "Wales is the land of my fathers, and my fathers can have it." Under Cardiff Skies, it was clear that the inhabitants were somewhat more passionate with the fans in good voice ahead of their side, Cardiff's tie with Nottingham Forest. The teams strolled out, once again, as with the Forest [. Click to continue reading...

Robbie Savage comes alive

Dirty Tackle 22 October @ 02:36 PM EST

The always entertaining (and often times annoying) Robbie Savage regaled a nightclub full of people with stories from his career and answers to their questions in a special event called An Audience With...Robbie Savage. 300 people came to hear the riveting tales of the Derby County captain and former Premier Leaguer all in the name of charity the Lewis Mighty fund and Savage didn't disappoint.

Quick, short, full of nothingness

LadyArse - Arsenal and the world of football from a woman's perspective @ OleOl 15 October @ 12:35 PM EST

It doesn't half suck waking up in Belfast as opposed to Amsterdam. When that waking up occurs at 5am and means that it's back to work, well, it's just suck central.

The good news is that the Interlull is now officially over and we can start counting the wounded as they crawl through the door at the Grove.

The National Lottery – FIFA change the laws for UK representation

Its funny how often we discuss rule changes and things we would like to see happen. As many of you know, I'm an advocate of the use of technology...something FIFA wont even sniff at! Recently there's been all sorts of preposterous proposals regarding who is eligible to play for what country. Most of us are aware of [. Click to continue reading...

(Video) Arsenal’s Ramsey Scores Stunning Free-Kick for Wales

Caught Offside 15 October @ 03:59 AM EST

At 3.32 on this video Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey puts away a terrific free-kick. Yes it's only against Liechtenstein but this set piece would have beaten any top level keeper. Struck on the sweet spot it angles nicely and picks up speed leaving the goalie with no chance.

Cheerio Interlull, it's Arsenal time again

Arseblog 15 October @ 02:22 AM EST

It is over.

There are those who claim the Interlull only truly ends when the real football begins but I consider it done and dusted once the internationals are complete. And so they were last night. I know Andrei Arshavin scored for Russia, and Aaron Ramsey's back held up enough for him to score for Wales, but in terms of the rest our lads involvement last night I am clueless.

Tuesday's Column: The Damned United

100 Percent Soccer 06 October @ 09:35 AM EST

Read the column here.

(Sadly the wit and wisdom of Brian Clough - or at least my attempted tribute to it in the last line of that column is apparently lost on the copy editors here; it should read "the top one," singular, not plural).

Check out the trailer.

I had the pleasure of speaking recently with actor Michael Sheen about the film and his role as Brian Clough.

Where There is Smoke There are a Few Bad Apples

Nedved's Notes 04 October @ 03:44 PM EST
Yesterday's against Newport County was one of the away matches I wanted to see most this season. County are not only bitter rivals (well, as bitter as we get in non-league football) but I guessed Newport would be near enough that Mrs Nedved would not begrudge a day pass. Besides, as she comes from a large Welsh family anything that involves going to Wales is generally viewed in a positive light. Click to continue reading...
