Saturday, Saturday, Saturday.

AEK Athens’ Ultras are anti-Nazi, that is a good thing.

This will be a brief synopsis of what is going on in the world of futbol  and as it is early you won’t read an essay at this hour.

England, in the Premiership Liverpool has this in the bag and hasn’t lost for ever. They are a machine and the only question left is will they finish better than the “invincibles” of BK’s Arsenal.

Damn they were good.

Only two games today (Thanks Boris!) Hippo’s Everton vs King Woy at Palace is your early tilt. Woy has made this club so much money but management refuses to bring in new players. I predict Woy leaving soon as he is about 97 years old and ain’t got time for this shit. The 11:30 game is Brighton Seagulls hosting the Moose Hornets of Watford who are in the relegation zone. Zzzzzzzzz……

Legit love the Seagulls on the seats.

The race for promotion is a white knuckle ride every week. A few matchdays ago it looked like Leeds and West Brom were going to run away with the auto promotion. Well just hold on a second early risers! They have both faltered tremendously and now Mighty Whitey, The Bees (Brentford), Robin Hoods (Nott Forest), Bristol City, are all within 5 pts of auto promotion.
Mighty Whitey travels to Blackburn Rovers, not to be confused with the Irish Rovers. Leeds in their usual tailspin travels to Nottingham Forest. SPLIT THE POINTS! The Bees host Middlesbrough who I do not think is an actual club. (Bristol City got beat on Friday by Birmingham, Huzzah)

Stade Francis Le Ble, Brest Stadium.

 

France, wine, cheese, and  Hippo gambling on 2nd division Frenchie futbol. In Ligue 1 PSG and their dirty oil money is up by 12 pts right now so nothing to see there of any importance. This week Marseille hosts Toulouse and their proximity gives them a rivalry I suppose. Rennes gets their hands on Brest (heh). Mustard FC (Dijon) hosts Nantes.

This kid is damn good. Watch him.

Germany’s Bundesliga is fairly tight with Bayern, Red Bull Leipzig, Dortmund, and MunchyGladToBeBack all within 3 pts of each other right now. The only leading club playing tomorrow is Dortmund who heads to Leverkusen. I would recommend watching this game instead of the late English game as Haaland is a beast. He snubbed England to play in Germany for Dortmund (makes Balls happy) due to his love for there fanbase. If you get an opportunity to watch him DO IT.

Could be leaving on a free in the summer.

Spain, White Scum is up by three points on Barca who are having some inner turmoil with Messi fighting Abidal. For the first time that we have heard of Messi leaving even though he has said he wants to be there his whole career.
Neither club plays today after both getting dumped from the Copa Del Rey which now almost assures a Basque derby for the final. Can you hear Balls’ erection from where you are?

***

Balls’ La Liga Insight

Look! I can see Balls’ Basque Boner from here!

Messi will win any battle with Abidal.  Please remember that this is the club and directorate that got rid of Abidal the player when he got cancer.  Also, Messi, at the time, told Abidal not to send videos to the players as they were upsetting them seeing him close to death.

These two are not pals.

Abidal got in as part of the front office because the new Board felt guilty about what the previous Board had done to Abidal.  However, they don’t feel so guilty that they will choose Abidal over the greatest Barcelona player ever.

***

I dislike stadia with tracks around them

Italia has a 3 club race with The Old Lady and fancypants Ronaldo up by 3 points on Inter, and 4 pts on Racists United (Lazio). There are 3 good match-ups in Italia today in Purple pasta people (Fiorentina) host Atalanta, The Shrouds (Torino) host Claudio Rainieri and Sampdoria (fuck that guy), the Old Lady (Juve) travels to Hellas Verona who have screwed so many of my bets this season.

How do you boys feel about Brexit?

To teh Hippo’s delight Stevie G’s Rangers are behind Celtic by 7 pts. If you are Catholic you will enjoy the fact that Celtic is winning while Hibs is in 6th and Hearts are in dead last.
Scottish Cup weekend and nothing jumps out at me however I would like Ayr United to take care of St. Johnstone.

Do you like altitude sickness?

In Bolivia there is a 4 way tie four games in to the season with Bolivar, Always Ready, ROyal Pari and Oriente Petrolero tied with 3 wins and a draw. I expect Jorge Wilstermann, The Storngest to right their respective ships and Blooming to stay near the bottom. I love the name of clubs in Bolivia.

It is/was derby weekend in Melbourne and in Sydney this weekend but the Sydney game was called off due to a waterlogged pitch. What is it with this country, first no water, now too much water. I recently spoke to their Prime Minister and his solution is to burn more coal. He told me this as he was lighting Aussie 100 dollar bills on fire, what made it more concerning is that they are made of plastic so probably toxic.

Have to get down there.

I have started to watch Liga MX and continue to pester Balls for more knowledge. When I first selected my team Puebla apparently they were overachieving as reality has struck and they are pretty brutal. I still want to visit, eat, drink, and support my Sweet Potato Eaters. They played Friday night and hosted Santos. I will predict a 2-1 loss with a bullshit referee decision ultimately screwing Los Camoteros.

Balls’ Liga MX Insight

Liga MX, like México itself, is a whirlwind of contradiction, tradition, corruption, passion, and action.  Litre’s chosen club, Puebla, is no different. Naively, he chose it because they featured a Canadian player, Lucas Cavallini, who quickly became a reliable scorer and club favourite.

And then he left.

A little history on Puebla:

  • The city of Puebla is located slightly southeast of México City exactly on the other side of the famous volcanoes, the Popocatépetl and the Iztaccihuatl, that loom over the capital.
Yes, Cholula is not just a sauce.
  • In the early 20th century, there was a significant English presence in México due to mining activity.  Through the English, soccer was introduced to the local population.
  • In 1904, the first organized football competition took place with Puebla as one of the founding clubs.  Incidentally, Pachuca was also in that league.  Those are the two oldest clubs in Mexican football.
  • It wasn’t until 1943 that the Mexican league, as we know it, came into existence.  All official league records start on that year.
  • Puebla has won the Mexican league two times and the Mexican Cup two times, all of those coming in the 80s with 1989-90 being the magical year in which they won both competitions.
  • The father of Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, Javier “Chicharo” Hernandez scored a goal in the final the last time Puebla won the championship.
  • The rest of the time has been spent up and down, in and out of the first division, and with many controversies, financial difficulties, and periods of good fortune. Litre got on the train as they were going through one of their good periods.

Someday, when I meet Litre in person, I will tell him about what the original Estadio Cuauhtémoc looked like, why Volkswagen is forever linked with the team and the city like Ford is with Geelong, and why Pueblan food is the most delicious in all of México.

LATE NIGHT UPDATE: HOLY SHIT WHAT A FINISH TO THE GAME LAST NIGHT!

True to Litre’s prediction,  Puebla were losing 2-1 deep into the game (the second Santos goal being a Puebla own goal,  of course).  So deep that it was the 3rd minute of 6 stoppage time minutes. Puebla got a free kick and the goalie went up to try to score the tying goal.

No one made contact and the Santos goalie easily got the ball.  As he quickly tried to clear the ball to get an empty netter,  the Puebla goalie hip- checked him.  The ball managed to clear the halfway line and was heading towards the Puebla goal.  A Santos attacker grabbed it and started dribbling towards the empty goal.  As he was ready to kick the empty netter,  a Puebla defender came out of nowhere and stole the ball!

Puebla quickly went back up up the field.  They got the ball on the right side and took a shot that rebounded off the goalie,  off a sliding Puebla forward, past a sliding defender, and into the net.

Game tied. No foul called on the Puebla goalie.

But wait,  there’s more!

Santos attacked to get the win back and failed deep in Puebla’s side of the field. Puebla then mounted a counterattack in the dying seconds.  Somehow,  someway,  they got the ball in the Santos area and got fouled.

Penalty Kick!

And then,  in the last play of the game,  the Puebla forward calmly stepped up and…

MISSED!

He kicked it sky high while leaving a divot behind bigger than the one I created the last time I played golf.

***

Wooo boy, we have ourselves an Athens Derby when AEK hosts Panathanaikos. They are 3rd and 4th in the Super League right now so both could use the points. These two are a ways back of PAOK and Olympiakos who will get the European spots.  Greek football is great,it has crazy owners, psychotic fans, dirty tackles, smoking, flares, passion and acceptable game play. Unless I bought the Greek channel there is very little way to see the games. I guess I could ask Scotchy as he has every channel.

I leave you with some more Scottish comedy, and COYW (nawt raycess)

Balls’ Bourniston Video

Litre got me into watching this show.  It is fookin’ amazing!  This is one of my favourite skits.  So much so that I have a Nae Rolls t-shirt that I wear around LA. I’ve yet to run into someone that recognizes where it’s from.

—————————————————————————————————————————

FYI, the AFL Women’s season started last night.  Unfortunately,  I couldn’t watch because something is up with my Watch AFL subscription.  If you guys can watch the games,  I highly recommend it. The women do tend to hit harder than the men…

So I routinely search the “free” stuff section of Craigslist in the vicinity of my house to see if there’s anything cool up for grabs (i.e. trampamploine). I often see “lightly used underwear” posted. What the hell is up with that? Is that just someone being kind to the local homeless, or is it a weird sex thing that I’m not familiar with?

Refusing to acknowledge the XFL’s existence seems like on of my super-rare, good life choices.

I’ve hacked into the XFL draft site and replaced all the player names with fake ones; let’s see if anyone notices.

It’s a crime that tomorry’s Bayern/Red Bulls match is on FS2. One has to STREAM that to avoid a SD feed on the teevee box.

bk109

…wait, a sports channel stateside… a legit channel I mean… IS BROADCASTING AT SUB 1080p?! What in the actual fuck!?

King Hippo

I have never understood why FS2 is that way. They use as their secondary channel, but their 3rd choice match…goes to Fox Soccer Plus. Which is full HD.

They prioritize Big East hoops over Bundesliga, which typically impacts games starting after noon (our time).

King Hippo

Just needed to say goddamn, I love Everton. Especially Don Carlo’s Everton.

Meh, you’re just setting yourself for heartbreak.. Don’t let yourself care, don’t let yourself beli..(New betting account balance chime) … Wooot goooo Everton!

Dude, I can’t believe you bet on us without some extra juice in the odds. But Don Carlo es magnifico! As the Two Robbies said this morning, he’s finally given Everton an identity.

Morning gents! Everything seems in order for our XFL draft at 12:00. There’s a banner at the top of the screen that informs of a 1-2 hour scoring delay for game one today; after that, there should be live scoring. Here’s hoping AltFantasySports.com can pull it off. Here’s the (serpentine) draft order, generated by me, torn scraps of paper, and my hat:
– Rev
– Fronk
– ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
– GTD
– Litre

Racist behaviour by Chelsea supporters was captured by hidden camera but UEFA decided not to act

By Dan Levene Feb 7, 2020

The sun is setting over the Stade Pierre Mauroy, on the outskirts of Lille. Against the deep blue autumn sky, a 20-something man in a hooded jacket extends his right arm and appears to make three Nazi salutes.

Together with other fans he repeats over and over: “We hate Tottenham. Yids!”

The Nazi salutes in Lille, along with other appalling examples of antisemitism, have been caught on hidden camera for a new BBC documentary, Shame In The Game, which will be broadcast next week.

Filmed before Chelsea’s Champions League group-stage match on October 2 last year, the camera also witnesses a young man standing on a tram hissing, to ape the sound of the Nazi gas chambers. From the same tram, a much older man sings a disparaging song about former Tottenham striker Martin Chivers being a Jew.

The Athletic has also obtained two additional recordings of racist chanting from that Lille match.

Fans in the Chelsea section of the ground were covertly recorded on video by the FARE network, an organisation which seeks to combat all forms of discrimination within the game in Europe.

The songbook includes a chant that is disparaging about the traveller community, which has already been condemned by advocacy groups for those communities, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard and the club.

A few voices can also be heard singing the name of far-right activist Tommy Robinson, who had recently been released from jail, as they gatecrashed a song most were meaning to be in adulation for goalscorer Tammy Abraham.

The FARE network took its evidence to UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body after the game last October but the governing body decided not to issue proceedings against Chelsea.

Four months on from that match in Lille, nobody has been banned or prosecuted as a result of their actions in the French town.

When asked for comment by The Athletic, Uefa said: “UEFA received the relevant footage from FARE as part of its match report. Following a legal analysis of FARE’s match report and that of the match delegate, a case was not opened as the standard of proof in the specific case was not met.

As you might understand, every decision to open — or not — disciplinary proceedings for such cases needs a detailed analysis of the specifics facts and evidence at hand in order to be presented with solid legal grounds before the relevant disciplinary body.”

Last year, Uefa opened but then ended disciplinary proceedings against Chelsea over alleged racist chanting during the club’s Europa League tie at MOL Vidi.

And despite the reticence of UEFA in this latest case, the UK’s criminal justice system has been particularly active in this area in the last year.

A group of three, including two Chelsea supporters, are awaiting sentence this month for an assault on journalist Owen Jones, who was attacked in a north London pub the night before Chelsea’s first home game of this season against Leicester City.

A London court last month convicted James Healy of Portsmouth, of actual bodily harm and affray following an attack which the judge described as being because of Jones’ “LGBT and left-wing beliefs”. At the time Healy, 40, was serving a five year court-ordered football banning order.

Healy’s home, when raided by police, was found to contain a hoard of far-right materials including white supremacist pin badges, a photo of Healy allegedly performing a Nazi salute, a Chelsea Headhunters flag depicting Nazi SS symbols and items showing support for the far-right paramilitary group Combat 18. Another item read “Chelsea FC, no asylum seekers”. His defence claimed possession of these items was “consistent with Mr Healy being a Chelsea football supporter”.

But the court disagreed with Healy’s lawyer regarding their ubiquity and found these to be aggravating factors, which will likely increase the sentence he eventually receives for his crime.

Healy’s associates — Charlie Ambrose, 29, of Brighton, and Liam Tracey, 34, of Camden — also pleaded guilty to affray.

Ambrose, also a match-going Chelsea supporter, was close friends with Fabian Richardson, 24, of Crawley, who was convicted in court for making Nazi salutes at Tottenham supporters at Stamford Bridge in 2016. The two holidayed in the Hollywood Hills together in 2018 – where they went to see a Liam Gallagher gig.

Richardson was issued with a three-year football banning order after the court doubted his explanation to police that he didn’t know what a Nazi salute was, and that he was merely waving to friends, 13 times in 15 minutes.

Chelsea Football Club, meanwhile, lead the way in campaigning against such behaviour.

The club’s Say No To Antisemitism campaign is unique in international sport. And the club has ploughed new territory in becoming the first in the world to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism.

The significance of this is no trifling matter as it should now become the arbiter for acceptable conduct by fans.

A statement from Chelsea, who have been outspoken about the past behaviour of supporters, said: “Chelsea Football Club will conduct a full investigation into the matter as soon as we have been able to view the video. It is unclear to us at this point if Chelsea supporters are involved. However, should any individuals displaying discriminatory behaviour in the video be identified as season ticket holders or members of this club, we will take, and support, the strongest possible action against them, in line with our zero tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination. Such behaviour does not in any way reflect the values of this club.

“No club has done more than Chelsea FC to fight against antisemitism. This football club has made great strides over the last couple of years through our wide ranging Say No To Antisemitism campaign to educate people on not only antisemitism but also where hatred can lead.

“Where we feel education can help supporters understand the impact of their actions and change their behaviour, we will endeavour to educate. In appropriate circumstances the club will, however, take the strongest action against offenders and issue bans. The club will always support the relevant authorities in any related prosecution.

“We are unequivocal in our position that such behaviour has no place in our club or our communities and we are committed to continue our work to rid the game of this unacceptable behaviour.”

But whatever advances have been made in terms of education, it is clear that the enforcement side of things isn’t quite working.

Shame In The Game, to be screened by BBC Three next week (February 12), focuses on far more than just Chelsea. It looks at the effects of racism throughout the English game: on players, fans and the men and women who populate all aspects of football.

Former Watford, Burnley and Bolton forward Marvin Sordell describes how his early retirement from the game last year — aged just 27 and citing mental health concerns — was brought about in a large part because of the racism he suffered.

And there is also first person testimony from Nathan Ashmore, of Boreham Wood FC in the National League, who tells how he has had to enter counselling to help him deal with the racism he has faced as a footballer.

The stories come from all over the country and from every level of the game: from women’s football, from players paid millions to those earning nothing and from those who watch from the sidelines.

To be fair that every team has that sort of scum in its ranks.. Yes, even Accrington Stanley. Yes, I can read your mind at the moment and you should really seek professional help, mate. Preferably three – a blonde, a redhead and a brunette to help you with that

You feel the nazis are being discriminated against for dismissing them for practicing discrimination? Holy shit.

Afternoon ya certfiably pervy lads and lassess (and whateverspecies or mythological creature litre self-identifies with this week in his state of permanent sleep deprivation!).

bk109

Could be worse, lol. You could’ve gone the other direction like me and forced your body to not only survive, but LIKE 2 hours of sleep and drinking industrial paint-thinner grade coffee by the pitcher 😀
Also: Awake from 3AM, ’cause wifey accidentally headbutted me in her sleep

bk109

Oh, the coffee itself is great, the problem is that I like my coffee to be basically semi-solid, so the proportions are a bit off for normal people 😀 In fact, once a buddy made the mistake of directly pouring himself a cup from my pitcher and had the shakes literally for a whole afternoon afterwards 😀

FWIW, now thinking Woy’s Pawace go down.
