I know it's not football, but have youse ever seen the current women's 400m world rekkid set by East Germany's Marita Koch, way back in 1985?

That is a proper mental run, whilst obviously on all sorts of drugs, but now the record is under threat by an American coached by Bobby Kersee, who coached the extremely fast Florence Griffith Joyner, who quit the sport at the height of her powers when out of season drug testing was introduced. Hmm...

In short... athletics... ugh...

they don't need drugs anymore now they've all got rocket powered shoes

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Sep 22, 2025 3:14 pm

Maybe they inject the drugs into the shoes?

everton have a player called thierno barry, which is maybe my favourite footballer name yet

Post by **vom** » Thu Sep 25, 2025 6:35 am

Igor Jesus is my favourite

Post by **vom** » Thu Sep 25, 2025 6:36 am

I love that if you look up Igor Jesus on Wikipedia there's a disambiguation page because there are currently two active Igor Jesii

Post by **dng** » Thu Sep 25, 2025 10:08 am

excellent

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 12:37 am

Didn't Igor Jesus do a Peel session back in '94?

Hairy Kane - fastest to 100 goals (in just 104 gaymes), beating Haaland and CRonaldo.

Good man!

i bet steve bull did it faster

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Sep 28, 2025 1:00 am

I think prime Steve Bull would've loved the Bundesliga.

Thinking about the unpleasant atmosphere at the Ryder Cup... do you think Turmp and his followers might try a similar approach in the Amelican World Cup matches?

Post by **dng** » Mon Sep 29, 2025 6:20 pm

isn't that just a normal football match atmosphere?

Troo, but I think Trumnp has the capacity to be like that Kuwaiti Prince who stopped the France - Kuwait match from the stands and got a goal chalked off against his country.

Actually... I think I'd enjoy watching mad stuff like that!

Although losing away to Chelsea hardly seems the most surprising result.

Guardian:

"Tel Aviv football derby between Hapoel and Maccabi called off after rioting
Israeli police make nine arrests, citing ‘disorderly conduct, riots, injured police officers’ and infrastructure damage"

There's a certain dark humour in this, if you're the West Midlands Police Commissioner!

they've got pretty incredible comic timing, you have to give them that

Southend appear to be doing alreet, Davuss.

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 20, 2025 4:53 pm

They are. Also Maldon are on the tv again soon (fa cup, might only be on bt. As is Chelmsford versus Braintree). Essex football is clearly the best

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Oct 20, 2025 11:42 pm

I expect its all the shrimp you eat in Essex that is behind your increasingly strong grip on football's neck.

i watched some of the barcelona champions league game earlier, and it was the astonishingly corrupt refereeing i've seen in a game since presumably whenever i last watched eitehr barcelona or real madrid in the champions league

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkcdVMWrxmQ

this sending off's just incredible (second booking is at 2:16, but the first booking was even more not even a foul let alone a booking than that one is)

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Oct 23, 2025 12:09 am

^^^^ That is disgraceful!

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Oct 23, 2025 7:51 pm

Aston Villa lost earlier to a team with a name you'd expect to find in a b-grade Roy of the Rovers strip (Go Ahead Eagles). I hope Villa lose their next matches to Everpool and Barnes United.

Cutting edge tactical genius Martin O'Neill (75) is an interesting choice for Celtique...
