Football, Oh Football

What happened to you?

You’re just not the game

as a kiddy I knew.

Now with players on wages 

that could fund a small city

yet desire has lessened

which seems such a pity.

No respect for officials

and cheating abound,

a small puff of wind 

sends a player to ground.

Our children are watching

what these fellas do,

they think they are heros,

they haven’t a clue.

I really do think 

it’s time for a shake up,

and all of the top folks

now need to wake up.

I want players to think 

of the badge not the pay, 

before the sport I onced loved

starts to slowly ebb away  

Many a birthday away from the football world too (from top left and then clockwise):

Vijay Singh: The former world number one golfer celebrates his 53rd birthday today

Niki Lauda: The Austrian racing driver is a three time world champion in Formula One. The oldest of our selected bunch today as he turns 67.

Tommy Bowe: Turning 32 today is the Ulster, Ireland and Lions wing.

Yesterday, North Queensland Cowboys beat Leeds Rhinos to win the World Club Challenge.

Super League general manager Blake Solly told BBC Radio 5 live: “On the field, the results would indicate there’s a gap. Off the field, the series was a great success. 

"You can tell from the full terraces that there’s an appetite for international club competition. 

"But what we have to do now is concentrate on how we bridge that gap over the next 12 months."

Southend United manager Phil Brown has been linked with a return to Bolton Wanderers as a replacement for Neil Lennon., external

But Shrimpers chairman Ron Martin has rebuffed these suggestions to Southend Echo reporter Chris Phillips.

BBC Sport looks at five quirky things you might not know about Shrewsbury Town - from fictional band Spinal Tap, to giant killings and possibly the strangest ball retrieval method in football.

West Ham United will contest the red card Cheikhou Kouyate received during Sunday's 5-1 FA Cup win at Blackburn.

Peter Conlan: Van Gaal isn't a red, Mourinho will always be a blue, Give it to Giggs, the legend That's the only right thing to do! 

Average Alpha Male: Jozy Altidore, played for Sunderland, couldn't score, tried his best, but failed the test, plays in the Premier league no more.

Luisa Gottardo: Oh Reuben Loftus Cheek Didn't play this week But even on the bench He still looked on fleek. (Sorry)

For any of our readers over the age of 20, fleek means "flawlessly styled, groomed, etc.; looking great". Apparently.

Back in 2007, the All England Club announced that men and women would receive equal prize money at the Wimbledon tennis championships. It was the first time in the tournament's history that there had been equal pay for men and women.

What happens in a heated game when you show a red card to the referee? He shows it back to you of course.

Trabzonspor learned that the hard way yesterday.

They were drawing 1-1, and down to nine men, in their game with Galatasaray when they conceded a penalty. Cavanda was so angry he charged into the referee and was sent off.

As the red card fell to the floor, Salih Dursan picked it up and showed it to the referee, who didn't find it funny, and Trabzonspor ended with nine men.

They conceded the penalty.

Surrey have appointed Australia assistant coach Michael Di Venuto as their new head coach, replacing Graham Ford.

The 42-year-old Tasmanian, who scored more than 25,000 first-class runs and played nine one-day internationals, has agreed an initial three-year contract.

South African Ford left The Oval last month to take charge of Sri Lanka's national team.

Plenty of Ireland team news ahead of the England game on Saturday.

Craig Gilroy, Dave Foley and Jordi Murphy replace Mike McCarthy, Sean O'Brien and Dave Kearney, who will all miss the rest of the tournament.

Props Mike Ross and Cian Healy are back in after injury, while Simon Zebo and Keith Earls are included after both missing the defeat by France.

Welsh scrum-half Jonathan Evans will join Scarlets from Bath at the end of the season on a two-year deal.

The former Wales Under-20 player joined the English Premiership side from Newport Gwent Dragons in 2015.

Scarlets have already announced their scrum-half Rhodri Williams will join Bristol at the end of this season.

We asked for poetry. We've received an epic. Fasten your seatbelts.

Now this will be hard,

Coz there's so many to pick, 

So I'll start from the beginning, 

If you'll give me a tic,

So when I was young and just off my leach, 

There was only one person that was Kenny Dalglish, 

Not long after that under his nose was a bush,

You all know this one of course it's Ian Rush, 

Around the same time the ball went in with a tap, 

That could only be John Barnes,

Singing his Anfield rap, 

Michael Owen we all now disown, 

But he got us the FA cup all on his own,

Now my last one you guessed it's not that hard,

You still sing his name out loud,

That's right Steve Gerrard Gerrard, Now the greats have all left, 

And the teams not the same, 

It's the same at all the other clubs, 

All they play for is..fame.
