Casting a philosophical eye over British football…. When Is A Racist Not A Racist? Or, Musings on the Racism “Revival” Pt.2. In case anyone thinks that bringing up the Suárez incident is passé, consider this picture that was Tweeted by head of the Homeless World Cup, Gareth Parker. From the 6th February game between Liverpool and Tottenham:. Tweet: Message to Liverpool FC. I'll stop when you stop. A) you can be racially abusive without using specifically racist terminology, and. With the beleaguered Urug...

Financial Penalties Are No Longer Fine | Football Futbol Fitba
https://footballfutbolfitba.wordpress.com/2012/01/19/financial-penalties-are-no-longer-fine
Scottish Football – English Football – World Football. Financial Penalties Are No Longer Fine. The game is now awash with money, thanks to TV deals, billionaire owners and other revenue streams: as a result, managers and players who operate in the upper echelons of club football earn salaries which, to some, could be considered obscene. Yet those who step out of line continue to be ‘punished’ by being asked to hand over sums of money which are the millionaire’s equivalent of loose change. Clubs and natio...

On The Terracing: September 2013
http://ontheterracing.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Sunday, 15 September 2013. Heart of Midlothian 1 Celtic 3. SPFL Saturday 14 September 2013 - Tynecastle Stadium. This is not to say Hearts were sitting back and Gary Locke’s side looked dangerous on the counter-attack. The impressive Kevin McHattie, restored to the Hearts team following his suspension from the team that lost in Inverness before the international break, almost caught out Celtic keeper Forster with a close range effort....Hearts ...

On The Terracing: Heart of Midlothian 2 Hibernian 1
http://ontheterracing.blogspot.com/2014/08/heart-of-midlothian-2-hibernian-1.html
Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Sunday, 17 August 2014. Heart of Midlothian 2 Hibernian 1. SPFL Championship, Sunday 17 August 2014 – Tynecastle. History was made at Tynecastle this afternoon. Given the amount of times there is an Edinburgh derby these days you may question that statement. However, this afternoon saw the first ever Hearts-Hibs fixture to be played in the second flight of Scottish league football. There were few highlights of that opening 45 minutes. Michael ...

Goals That Changed History – Costinha | Football Futbol Fitba
https://footballfutbolfitba.wordpress.com/2012/02/06/goals-that-changed-history-costinha
Scottish Football – English Football – World Football. Goals That Changed History – Costinha. Old Trafford 9 March 2004: It would be ludicrous to suggest Jose Mourinho owes his success to one goal. Two Champions League wins, a UEFA Cup success and league titles in Portugal, England and Italy can be attributed to outstanding man-management skills, meticulous attention to detail and superb tactical awareness. There is surely no doubting that even if Costinha hadn’t scored, and Porto had slipped out of the ...

Scottish Football – English Football – World Football. It’s two years since I started writing this blog. During that time I’ve written some stuff that I’m fairly proud of looking back there’s also one or two posts I’m less enthralled about, not because of what I’ve said, rather the standard of writing. Thanks to everyone who has visited FFF, and an extra thank you to anyone who took the time to post a comment. I received some excellent replies to the articles posted. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Sunday, 28 July 2013. Heart of Midlothian 5 (five) Hibernian 1 - Bank of Scotland SPL. Sunday 11 August 2002 - Tynecastle. The game began rather like the weather conditions of the day - with Hearts flooding the Hibernian half. One of Hearts new signings, French winger Jean Louis Valois, was clearly in the mood and took little time to display his obvious skill. Brockville when it was demolished to make way for a supermarket a few years later (okay,...

Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Sunday, 30 March 2014. Heart of Midlothian 2 Hibernian 0. SPFL, Sunday 30 March 2014 – Tynecastle. The fourth Edinburgh derby of the season had been billed, particularly from those from the east of the city, as the game which would finally seal Hearts fate and consign the Gorgie boys to their fate of Championship football next season. A rare win for Hibernian at Tynecastle would mean Hearts would be unable to catch 11. Afterwards, jubilant Hearts ...
