RIP Cheick, you scored one (1) goal in 156 games for Newcastle and it was the belter that broke Arsene Wenger.

Hard to understand that one when Hart could see it all the way, he just couldn’t get remotely close to it

I feel like VAR might have allowed that but back in the day where you just trust the ref's eyes in real time it's not unreasonable to think it might have taken a deflection or something off the offside player. Bad call and the goal should have stood, but I get why it happened.

Hard to understand that one when Hart could see it all the way, he just couldn’t get remotely close to it The interpretation used to be that "interfering with play" was being anywhere in a triangle between the posts and the point the ball was hit from, or within a "reasonable distance" to control or deflect the ball in its flight, which isn't actually that bad a definition. The (incredibly charitable to Joe Hart) interpretation applied to that goal is that because the ball might have deflected off Gouffran, Hart may have hesitated in diving to stop the shot. I'm not sure what the actual rule is now, though.

Thought staines town were that fake Twitter club that ends up in the news because they've made Saddam Hussein honorary club chairman or whatever Apparently they're not and the owners have been busy: quote:The statement which also alleges "environmental crimes, price fixing, deforestation, forced evictions, human rights abuses, child labour, slavery, gender discrimination and murder" swiftly crashed the club's website.

Money laundering is rife at this level. Years ago my home town club was apparently owned by an infamous scouse gangster through intermediates, and the rugby club's bid for the super league hit the buffers when the supplementary brown envelopes that invalidated the salary cap for top players stopped coming.

From what I've managed to piece together from Twitter this afternoon (so take it for what it is), it's much dumber than that. Basically the ground is owned by the club but the land it sits on (including the car park and - crucially - the main stand) is owned by another company who use it for a gym, conference facility, and the other weird little side hustles lower league clubs do to keep things ticking over, under one of those dodgy sell-and-lease deals that did for so many clubs in the 80s and 90s. That company is in turn owned by a fairly bog-standard PE fund - evil, but not more notably so than the background noise for such things. The owners of the club have been trying to buy back the land and the stand for years now, including by doing all sorts of weird poo poo like complaining about how the walk from the board room to the bogs takes them past sweaty people in the gym, booking the ground out for a week-long tournament for the traveller community (something that sounds nice but hoo boy some of their fans and possibly one of their board members are doing some proper old-school racism about it and I'm *fairly* certain they're doing it just to say to the owners "See, we're gonna fill up your lovely car park with all these caravans if you don't sell up". This latest thing is just the next round in that. Needless to say there's no particular evidence Downing, the PE fund, are actually involved in slavery or sanctions busting *to a level greater than any other bunch of rich people* and also that the FA most definitely don't require any club to just stop playing if the owners of a bit of their ground end up to be wrong 'uns. Basically this is just YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY HERE JACKIE WEAVER but being done with a football club.

Crawley Town FC have been brought by some NFT investment fund that "is dedicated to bringing Web3’s most innovative ideas and passionate communities to the world of sports." https://www.crawleytownfc.com/news/2022/april/wagmi-united-complete-takeover-of-club/ I'm not sure what this entails but it sounds like they want to fund the Club by letting fans invest in NFTs. The press release includes this which sounds like part of a late April Fool's article: "If we're trying to build a community-club, and we are, then we have to build in mechanisms to hold ourselves accountable," said Eben Smith, WAGMI United co-founder. "So if Crawley Town Football Club doesn't get promoted to League One by the end of our second season, which we think is about 50/50, then we under-performed. If we underperform, Crawley Town fans should get to vote on who the next directors of the club are. We might run for reelection because it was clearly all Preston's fault, but we don’t just get to hold the fanbase hostage because our dad invented Cablevision."
