I’m going to come clean with you on this. I’ve been very harsh on the FA at times as I feel on a number of occasions that haven’t provided enough leadership within England. However on the opposite side of the equation, when they take a hard-line stance for the betterment of the game, they deserve [...]

Emancipation

I’ve read a lot about “slavery” recently in the Football world and while I know sadly many players forgo their education to pursue Football as a professional, there really isn’t an excuse for comments relating “slavery” to Football contracts. There is absolutely nothing in common with slavery in the life of a professional Footballer and [...]

By: j | No Comments
Well, maybe my title was a trace (that’s more than a smidgen btw) sarcastic as it wasn’t shocking at all that the Magpies offered Sébastien Bassong a contract after coming over from FC Metz on a one-week trial. Sébastien accorded himself well at Doncaster (and hey, even had a few songs dedicated his way) and [...]

I purposely didn’t post it because it simply isn’t newsworthy. In-fact, if it was my choice the “situation” would have been dealt completely different but as these things so often go, my wishes on matters of values, ethics and the lessons that sport teaches the children of our world, are forgotten.
Maybe I can call it [...]

In my rumour-wire watch The Sunday Sun is reporting Newcastle is about to launch a bid on Real Madrid’s Júlio Baptista. Now that’s not the funny part because [...]

Lets be open and honest. I’ve supported Kevin Keegan for the most part in my commentary and feel very strongly of his managerial leadership. However I fell this time he is very, very wrong.
The situation is this, convicted violent offender (Joey) Barton is being released from prison shortly and Kevin Keegan believes he deserves [...]

Well, it really wasn’t that bad but Kevin Keegan’s return home wasn’t the most welcoming as the Magpies lost 1-0 at Keepmoat Stadium. The match was heading for a draw before ex-Motherwell / Hull City Striker Stuart Elliott found the back of the net. However in-truth, with ten players out and Doncaster looking to impress [...]

The Magpies visit Keepmoat Stadium stadium later this afternoon in a interesting friendly.
Doncaster is a highly flying squad, promoted this season to the Championship League after a stunning victory over Leeds in the League One playoff at a packed Wembley this past May. Manager Sean O’Driscoll has done a remarkable job with the club [...]
