Football. The player servettien offers the goal of safety but its annular left is torn off by netting! The finger was cut down.

The personal drama in spite of the victory. Sadness in spite of the three points. Servettiens lived a 87e minute which should have propelled them in the joy, with a goal liberator, that of safety, that of the insurance of a deserved victory. But this end of match, in Schaffhouse, rocked in the horror for Paulo Diogo. It is him which had offered the goal to Beauséjour. In the tread, he wanted to only suspend himself on netting to celebrate his jubilation with the supporters garnet-red. But the alliance of its annular left remained crochée. And it is apparently when Diogo was rejected behind, to fall down on the lawn, that its finger was torn off!

It at once shouted and howled its pain. The referee, not realizing of the gravity of the situation, held up to him even a yellow paperboard under the nose (to have precisely jumped on netting), whereas unhappy Diogo was held the hand. It is only then that everyone included/understood. And several members of technical staff servettien then precipitated on the spot of the drama, in front of the supporters. To find the torn off finger, as well as alliance, which could be made rather quickly.

The bandaged left hand, Paulo Diogo then left the cloakroom servettien. The remainder of its finger being placed in a refrigerator. It took the direction of the cantonal hospital of Schaffhouse, before being transferred in Zurich, where measurements had been taken to prepare an operating room, for a repairing surgery. And where his wife was going to join it well quickly.

"Of the players cried in the cloakroom"

Adrian Ursea had just had time to run to find its player at the end of the part, to enquérir itself of its state. A painful scene, where the fellow-members of Diogo returned in the cloakroom with the feeling to have fulfilled their sporting mission. But with the pain that they divided all for what lived one as of theirs.

"Some cried in the cloakroom, released Ursea. What arrived at Paulo is terribly shocking." Christian Karembeu, summarized the general state of mind. "We dedicate all this victory to Paulo, said it. It is him which gives the goal liberator and it arrives to him that… We are of any Cœur with him in this test."

All was tried

All has of course summer tried to save the finger of Paulo Diogo. But in front of the complexity and the dangers of a Clerc's Office, the faculty of the teaching hospital of Zurich decided yesterday evening, with the agreement of principal interested, to carry out an amputation.

For cold comfort, Paulo Diogo will have at least the certainty to have saved to them his. Not only by the master key of goal, this 3-1 which preceded its accident. In the impetus of its perfect match against Young Servant boys, the medium of ground was again best garnet on the ground, with Karembeu, before fateful the 87e minute. Good courage, Paulo.

In Scotland, a big part of football rivalry is religion. Our two most established and best teams, Celtic and Rangers, are aligned with Catholicism and Protestantism respectively. Celtic was formed by Catholic Irish immigrants, and so Scottish football is intimately tied in with current and historical events in Northern Ireland.

The saddest thing about that was that the referee booked him (ie gave him an official caution) for inappropriate celebration. Oh yeah, and that the finger couldn't be re-attached.

This weekend the team I support, West Ham United, are playing their East London rivals Millwall. Actually rivals isn't a strong enough word for the enmity between these two teams. During the 70's and 80's both teams had a reputation for violent thug 'supporters', but in recent years they've been in different divisions and meetings between them have been rare. Then we got relegated and so play them at least twice a year. Unfortunately there will almost certainly be trouble at this game. Last season in this fixture seating was ripped up and thrown, and this by West Ham season ticket holders.
West Ham Fans are also known for their wit; one example of this being that whenever David Beckham visited Upton Park with Manchester Utd the home crowd would chant "Posh Spice takes it up the arse".
I also made up a chant about Rio Ferdinand (ex Hammer) to the tune of 'Rio' by Duran Duran, but sadly it never caught on.

I would also recommend the drum stylings of Bill Bruford on the King Crimson Box Set "The Great Deceiver (live 73-74)."
But I digress. Please continue with the squirrel circuit semantic debate.

I have fond memories of Bill Peet's book Buford the Little Bighorn and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who has kids. I guarantee you've never read anything like it.

One item, the sport is called "basketball"

The activity is called "auto racing", and it's debatable whether it's a sport.
golf (if tiger is in the lead or final round, move golf up to the 2nd slot)

I'm sure you meant to say "PGA", but that's OK.
tennis
poker (not a sport but i guarantee more people watch it on espn than soccer)

OK, but if it's not a sport, why does it belong on the list? Do you consider "Sportscenter" a sport, just because a lot of people watch it on ESPN?
soccer


So your list, corrected, reads:
Football
Baseball
Basketball
Auto racing (if we're being generous in our definition of "sport")
Golf
Tennis
Soccer

(Where's hockey?)

The problem is, there's no real way to define how popular a sport is; you can only get a sense of it. How many people watch it on ESPN is a tiny and fairly insignificant piece of the pie. In trying to fix the relative positions of golf, tennis, and soccer in this list, we can also look at things like how many people watch the sport live, and how many people participate in the sport. I'm pretty sure if you take a more complete picture, soccer is more popular than golf or tennis, but I don't have any numbers, so unless you do, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Moreover, it's a pretty cackhanded hijacking of a topic.

The ruckus in Milan the other day is a nasty sign in the run up to tonight's Liverpool/Juventus match. A Liverpool supporter was attacked with a baseball bat last night in Turin. My money is on the police going berserk.

EDIT: by hijacking, I'm referring to the digs against the sport. If you're going to have a go, try to make it entertaining.

Just wondering.


I haven't been to a game in many years, and I never was a regular attendee, but from reading reports I get the impression that in the UK football hooliganism has changed completely in the past thirty years. I read a quote of John Lydon saying how in the 70's he saw it as an act of subversion or protest, putting a mini-riot on before daytime tv cameras. It seems more of a minority nutter activity nowadays, almost a sort of Fight Club. Admittedly, this opinion is largely formed from seeing Donal MacIntyre's undercover documentary with the Chelsea mob a few years back.
