We're supposed to feel sorry for Ronaldo?

As a huge information addict I surf countless websites ever day to satisfy my need for knowing what's happening in the world. This includes many blogs in which the language is unmoderated and, at times, offensive.... Read more...

Stop the whining, it's a man's game

Wed, July 9, 2008, 6:45 pm NZST

What is it with opposing rugby teams coming here and whinging? First we had eternal bad loser (when it comes to matches against the All Blacks) Brian O'Driscoll moaning about just about everything. Then we had Rob Andrew griping about forward... Read more...

The ICC further proves it is out of touch. . .

Thu, July 3, 2008, 10:52 am NZST

It's been a mixed week for us sports fans – we've had the excitement of Wimbledon (including the complete capitulation of the top women players) and the final State of Origin game of 2008 mixed with Jimmy Cowan's latest alcohol incident and the... Read more...

Spare me the outrage, Black Caps

Thu, June 26, 2008, 11:06 am NZST

First of all, I want to congratulate the Black Caps for an excellent win against the Poms this morning. Many wrote off the team after a dreadful Test series in Mother England, and they have (at last) shown some fortitude to come back and take a lead... Read more...

The lack of loyalty is disturbing. . .

Thu, June 12, 2008, 4:39 pm NZST

There's nothing like a bit of controversy to stir up debate – as my colleague Neil Reid discovered with his blog about Brian O'Driscoll this week. (My take on O'Driscoll? It's hard to rate his as world class, because I don't think I've seen... Read more...

Evans dropped and sanity ensues

Wed, May 28, 2008, 2:36 pm NZST

I can't believe people are getting worked up about Nick Evans being left out of the extended All Blacks' training squad. Seriously? I would have thought it made perfect sense. Ironically, it seems the majority of people doing the complaining are... Read more...

Bats, Balls, Black Caps and a bloody good Test

Mon, May 26, 2008, 1:58 pm NZST

Conventional wisdom states cricket test matches are boring and only one-day internationals and Twenty20 games deserve to be watched. I know this from experience - I once had a spare ticket to see New Zealand play the West Indies at Eden Park in a... Read more...

Alcohol and sport - a dangerous mixture

Fri, May 16, 2008, 3:26 pm NZST

Some of you have undoubtedly read about the riots in Manchester following the UEFA Cup Final between Zenit St Petersburg and Rangers. As a Rangers fan, first and foremost, I have absolutely no complaints about the result of the game. Zenit was the... Read more...

Golden Balls Part 2: Who Gives a Stuff?

Thu, May 8, 2008, 9:59 am NZST

Every now and again a story appears in the Yahoo!Xtra news feed which gets me worked up to the point where I'll pick any poor sap nearby to vent my fury at. Those times tend to be the worst time to blog as invariably I'll end up swearing and making... Read more...

Living legends aren't always good value. . .

Mon, May 5, 2008, 2:18 pm NZST

For a football loving Scot (go Rangers!) I'm getting pretty pissed off at people bagging New Zealand rugby. Having listened to hundreds of armchair critics being urged on by ringmaster Murray Deaker and his ilk you wouldn't think rugby was a positive... Read more...
