Ortiz is rubbish. This fight is bullshit. Now the Morales-Mathysse fight has gone tits up there is no way I'm paying £15 and staying up until god knows when for this.

Most of the English lower leagues think going to Carlisle is a 'trek', never mind Aberdeen, Inverness etc. Smaller clubs would struggle with travel/policing costs of these fixtures, especially once the initial novelty of playing new teams and going to new grounds wears off. A cup would be fantastic but the top teams failure to take anything outside of the Premier League and Champions League seriously would spoil the idea. Just look at the side Redknapp has put out for a tough European away fixture.

There is always Walkabout if you are desperate. I think you just head up park row, straight on at the town hall towards the uni and its on your left somewhere along there.

Most likely, my team got fined for fielding a side that won away at Morecambe a couple of years ago.

Seen him play a couple of times and thought he was pish. He is potentially a decent prem player if he sorts his act out. His dirty tactics will get pulled up 99 times out of 100 in euro/international footy though.

Lovejoy was a prick. Have a read of this review of his 'book': http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/

Anybody watch McCloskey vs Prescott? I thought that was the pick of the fights last night. Shame there was more dodgy judging.

Chris Eubank's son turns pro, also a middleweight: http://www.worldboxingnews.net/2011/06/chris-eubank-jr-set-to-turn.html

Looks likely that Kevin Mitchell will face Brandon Rios next and talk that John Murray could get Katsidis. Along with Barker vs Martinez, I'd say all three Brits get outclassed.

Interesting vid of Donaire demonstrating why Mayweather might not have it so easy vs. Ortiz/Pacquiao.

HBO 24/7 Mayweather-Ortiz part 2 (until HBO get it removed) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjEM0GiTUJM Some interesting tweets from Floyd following this being aired:

Agreed. Great effort from both. It will be interesting to see what is next for McDonnell. There is nowt left at domestic/european level for him, a scrap with Darchinyan would be entertaining. http://www.wbcboxing.com/swf/ratings/bantamweight.pdf

Sounds like there was more to this than I realised. Just had a quick read of a Swindon site which suggests Clarke (who has a fair bit of form for being a prick himself) asked to leave the club 2 days prior to the incident. He didn't like the training regime Di Canio and his assistant have brought in. The incident was triggered when the assistant told Clarke he would be doing 'more running tomorrow'. With regards to Di Canio's behaviour afterwards, have a read of this comment from a football blog:

Tyson Fury opponent should be confirmed very soon as well.

I don't know the Scottish justice system too well, but 6 months for a public order offence? Really?

Have a rep for managing to make that emoticon almost relevant to something.

I'm not sure about the colour scheme or the name, but this is pretty jaw-dropping nonetheless: http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/videos/83736/bursaspors-incredible-new-crocodile-stadium-given-green-light.html

I heard this was coming. Sounds like the undercard could be good as well. There is a good thread on the eastside boxing forum about it: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=337507 Bellew himself was posting on it from the third page onward.

This was fairly queer as well.

Riquelme is up with Figo in the gay advert stakes.

Cheers for saving me the bother there. I don't see the point in criticising players for being 'over-rated'. If anything, it's your own fault for listening to pish commentators and reading shite newspapers in the first place.

if you reckon those 3 are bad footballers, maybe football isn't for you?

First episode of HBO Mayweather - Ortiz 24/7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c98cLd9-eUg I'm not arsed about this fight to be honest, but the last 10 minutes is definitely worth a watch to see Floyd Snr and Floyd Jnr going mental at each other. Jr: GET THE FUCK OUT MY GYM Sr: PUT ME OUT MOTHAFUCKA
