Anyone else remember when the club would play Walkaway by Cast over the PA system when we lost at home?

Pretty much the title...

Anyone else remember it? I'm not sure how long we did it for but enough that it's the song I most associate with the 'Wall fucking up my weekend 😅

Fifa World Cup: Uefa to boycott tournament if Gianni Infantino's investment plans go through

[[Championship is football so is this - thus relevant. I'm too lazy to think up a funny link.]]

Uefa's 55 member associations have voted to boycott World Cups if Fifa proceeds with its plan to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors.

The decision was made at an emergency meeting called to discuss the proposals announced by Fifa - world football's governing body - on Tuesday.

Uefa, which governs European football, had made its opposition clear by releasing two damning statements about the plans - and that strength of feeling has now been reaffirmed.

The boycott would cover all Fifa competitions, including the men's and women's World Cups and Club World Cup, and be triggered if Fifa president Gianni Infantino's proposals are voted through by member associations.

The first time this stance will be tested is October, when the Women's World Cup play-offs are due to be held.

In a statement released after the meeting, Uefa said it and its 55 member associations "stand as one".

"We unanimously and unequivocally reject Fifa's proposal to transfer ownership interests in the World Cup and other Fifa competitions to private investors," it said.

"The World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product. It is one of football's greatest sporting legacies. It has been built over generations by players, national teams and supporters across every continent. No part of it should ever be surrendered to private investors. The World Cup is not for sale."

Fifa wants to create a commercial subsidiary to run its main events, including the World Cup, and external investors will be able to buy stakes in it.

Infantino wrote to all 211 Fifa member associations saying they would receive $40m (£30m) if they backed his controversial plan to sell off stakes in its major competitions.

The Swiss set a deadline of 19 September for football federations to accept his plans if they wanted to access an initial $20m (£15m).

In response on Wednesday, Uefa accused Fifa of using football "to enrich themselves and their friends".

He lay motionless, just listening to the mosquito as it hummed around him.

He caught it between his hand and the lid inches from his face, but as its humming stopped, the silence left him alone with the sound of his own desperate breaths.

Father's Day gifts bringing the 80s vibe

I've been looking forward to giving Impossible Mission a play for a while now - as a big fan of Zillion I'm keen to see how it was influenced by IM.

​

SCI, Chase HQ 2, revied pretty well on the home micros and in the arcades but the SMS port is... fair to middling according to the magazines of the time. If it simply offers more Chase HQ I'll be happy so fingers crossed.

North Stand banter! Lions to split away end into two as they look to maximise home support.

I for one welcome this bold move 😅

Here are some Sonic toys I pulled from a 1992 Christmas cracker

It was Christmas of '92 and we managed to convince our mum that she didn't want crackers with boring nail clippers, mini tape measures, or a pocket size deck of playing cards... she wanted Sonic The Hedgehog crackers!

Now I suspect she never wanted crackers with Sonic toys, badges, and whatnot - but she bought them anyway.

To our credit we didn't pull them until Christmas day but we did get to keep the prizes irrespective of who won. I guess the other adults we're not quite into Sonic. 😅

Each character (Sonic, Tails, and Dr. Robotnik) has two different sculpts - I'd say Robotnik and Sonic are a little more interesting than Tails.

Well here they are. All 6 of them.

Todays purchases are brought to you by the letters S, E, G and A

In a bid to move closer to a full PAL Saturn set milestone I decided to jump in and purchase three games to get me to the 60% mark. Krazy Ivan has always intrigued me and yet somehow I've never pulled the trigger on a copy. Well this one popped up for a decent price which I then combined with Robotica for some postage savings too. It will be interesting to see just how these shape up against other Saturn first person games... although I suspect they are unlikely to dethrone the Lobotomy games. Earthworm Jim 2... its more Jim. I'll happily take more Jim.

As for the MS and MD games... I stumbled into an ebay seller who was pricing a little erratically. I bought Wonder Boy III and Paperboy for a very good price and then checked if there was anything else in the pipeline. As a result I was able to secure Boogerman and Shinobi for less than the market price of Boogerman alone. I'm really pleased with each of these and have dedicated this evening to getting stuck into Boogerman 🤪
