The Dripping Pan: no-one seems to know quite why, but that’s the name of Lewes F.C.’s home ground, and it sure beats the Emirates for evoking the curious and archaic history of British football. On Saturday, I watched East Sussex’s county town take on Havant & Waterlooville Football Club in the Conference South (known for […]
After yesterday’s Photoshopped horror, today we bring you something genuinely seasonal and beautiful: snow balls lie on a frozen field at Esplanade and Parliament, Toronto. Reproduced with permission from the brilliant photo blog, daily dose of imagery (see full size original here)
As we hurtle into 2008, Brian from The Run of Play looks at what not to care about in the coming year.
The start of a new year is traditionally a time to take stock, reassess your priorities, and decide what to focus on during the year to come. For football fans, that means figuring […]

This has attracted new interest in something we have questioned before, due to concerns […]
Boxing Day today sees the first league meeting between Bradford City and Lincoln City at Valley Parade since a fire at the stadium on May 11th 1985 left 56 supporters dead and another 256 injured (memorial, right).
Bizarrely, both Lincoln and Bradford are today managed by men who played that day. Bradford’s talismanic boss Stuart McCall […]
Hasta El Gol Siempre’s Sam Kelly looks at a judgement that might finally mean Argentina’s battle against football violence is headed in the right direction.
Friday saw the culmination of a legal case that had been ongoing for exactly twenty-two months in Santa Fe, the capital city of the province of the same name in Argentina. […]
The festive period in British football is remarkably busy. Indeed, a full league programme was played on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day until the late 1950s.
Pitch Invasion is lazier over the holiday period (or rather less well paid), so I won’t be updating this site much until the new year. In the end of […]
