Ramballs

I’ve built it up. I called it funny Thursday but that’s probably not the case at all. I should probably have called it the Midweek Mild Chuckle but it’s too late for that, I’ve thrown myself in at the deep end and now you are expecting laughs. What could be so funny on a Derby County blog posting on a hot Thursday in the middle of July when there is no news to speak of and we’re basically all waiting for tomorrows kit launch? The answer is nothing. Nothing could be funny today so instead I’ll point you in the direction of some funny things elsewhere, after all, I can’t be expected to do all the work.

First up is the Festival of Football blog (tagline “A Humorous blog about the wacky world of football”) and the news that the BBC, upon getting access to Coca-Cola Championship television rights, have decided to show West Brom vs Newcastle as their first match; two sides relegated from the Premier League last season kick off. Festival of football is a blog worth checking regularly for a somewhat skewed view of the soccersphere.

In other news, it would appear that Derby County have branched out into the world of porn, or at least they are supplying the wardrobes. Many thanks to David on www.dcfcfans.co.uk for bringing this to the worlds attention.

He knew he was about to score

Finally, a video of an angry goalkeeper. We’ve seen angry goalies a thousand times over; Peter Schmeichel regularly used to berate his team mates and Bruce Grobbeblaar famously went mental at Steve McManamanamanamanamanamanaman. This keeper is something else though. As the opposition striker runs through on goal, he is judged to be offside and the keeper isn’t happy about it one little bit. Unbeliveabley though, the striker gets booked for his part in the whole affair.
