Morley Sent Off In Record Time

UK Sports Blog — Fri, 13 May 2011 14:20:35 +0000

Obviously this is neither big nor clever but I can’t help it, it makes me laugh every time I see it! In this video Adrian Morley clatters Robbie Kerns a mere 12 seconds into a Rugby League international between Great Britain and Australia. There is so much to admire about this clip. The commentators praising [...]

Can England Get Any Worse?

UK Sports Blog — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:12:11 +0000

That’s got to be the question on the lips of every England fan as they prepare to play France at the Stade de France in the last game of the 2010 Six Nations. If you look back at their Six Nations performances this year it doesn’t make great reading. First of England were very lucky [...]

England Are Getting Better

UK Sports Blog — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 22:06:25 +0000

It’s been a bad week for the English national team. First the cricket team is embarrassed by the West Indies. Then the football team is taught a lesson by Spain. Finally the rugby union team takes a beating by Wales today. BUT at least on the rugby front things are looking up because that best [...]

Super League vs Six Nations

UK Sports Blog — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:57:08 +0000

It’s going to be a fine night tonight, it’s going to be a great day tomorrow! Rugby hits the headlines again tomorrow with the start of the Super League season coinciding with the start of the Six Nations Rugby Union tournament! The big question is of course what to watch? Now I know what will [...]

England are Rubbish…

UK Sports Blog — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:53:11 +0000

…or do we just expect far too much? Personally I think it’s a combination of the 2, we are a bit rubbish and we certainly do expect too much of our national teams. At the weekend I had the pleasure of watching both our national Rugby teams get stuffed. Please remember the we invented the [...]

Martin Johnson’s New England

UK Sports Blog — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 12:36:36 +0000

Was last week a false start? I think today we are going to find out just how Martin Johnson’s England Rugby Union team intend to play. This afternoon they face Australia in the first of 3 games against the top southern hemisphere teams with South Africa and New Zealand to follow. Last week against the [...]

Is There Any Point In The Rugby League World Cup?

UK Sports Blog — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 10:51:23 +0000

I’m just sat watching England Australia, it’s a complete and utter fucking stuffing. The Australians have battered the English. Yet the English commentators fully expect England to make it through to the final where more likely than not they’ll play Australia. If England are supposed to be the second best team in the world at [...]

Rugby League World Cup

UK Sports Blog — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 08:38:40 +0000

It’s kicking of right about now (check out the twitter account for a link), not that you’d ever guess it because other than a little bit on the BBC news this morning the Rugby League World Cup seems to have gone right under the radar. You’d think that having bypassed the 2004 world cup because [...]

The Weekend That Was

UK Sports Blog — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:26:34 +0000

I drank beer on Friday night. This shouldn’t be that much of a problem but for me it is because every single time I have a “few” I’m dying for days afterwards. Saturday was spent on the sofa not moving, the last thing I wanted to do was upset my guts anymore than what they [...]

Rugby – Money Doesn’t Buy You Success

UK Sports Blog — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 10:26:38 +0000

The Heineken Cup started last night, it’s the biggest thing in Northern hemisphere rugby outside of the world cup, so perhaps I should mention it! Last night it was Northampton vs. Toulon. Toulon doesn’t have a wage cap as they are French and spend £5 million a year. Northampton being English do and have a [...]

Rugby League Final

UK Sports Blog — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:55:47 +0000

It’s been a nagging voice at the back of my head “watch the rugby..ooooohohohohooho…..watch the rugby”. Nagging voice in my head or SteveO, I don’t know but either way I decided not to watch the football on Saturday night and watch the Rugby League final between St Helens and Leeds instead. To start of with [...]

Parsimonious Sale Sharks

UK Sports Blog — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:32:11 +0000

Sale Sharks RUFC are currently being labelled parsimonious, yeah I had to look it up as well. Basically they haven’t conceded a try in 4 games which is a record for the Guinness premiership. Sale really disappointed me last year, but I have a good feeling this year. We just have to wait and see [...]
