Albania 1-0 N. Ireland Highlights

March 2, 2010

Albania got a goal up a dismal Northern Ireland squad, in a game played in a pitch hardly fit for football.
The only part of the match worth mentioning is the goal: a free kick nicely taken by Skela in the first half.
The horrible quality of the pitch cannot completely mask how badly N. Ireland played [...]

February 28, 2010

t was only yesterday that Rocwood treated us to a video of the worst tackles, and a few hours after that there was one more to add to the list.
Ryan Shawcross’ tackle was more misguided than vicious, but it’s still the kind of stuff nobody likes to see on the pitch. I feel that he’s [...]

Rangers 1-0 Celtic Highlights

February 27, 2010

Rangers beat old time rivals Celtic and by now the title is probably being packed and addressed to Ibrox Stadium.

Aston Villa 5-2 Burnley Highlights

February 21, 2010

First the game: Villa won very convincingly.
Things didn’t start so well for the home team as Burnley grabbed the lead early. But Ashley Young equalized still in the first half. Heskey and Agbonlahor got into the scoresheet themselves in the absolute pounding that Burnley received in the second half.
Things look good for Villa, not only [...]
