Zorb Football…

I don’t know if you’ll have heard of this or not, but basically there is a place called ZorbFootballuk where you book to go and play 5 a side with you and your mates … but with a twist. Every single player is wearing what looks like a big bubble, I know it sounds random and ridiculous, but it also sounds incredibly fun too!

Now I haven’t had the pleasure of playing a match myself, but with student discounts and outstanding reviews, I don’t think it’s gonna be long before I get the guys and go play a match or two. My friend Liam has been and he told me that it was such a laugh and he couldn’t wait to go again, to be honest with you I’m yet to hear or think anything bad about the idea.

They deliver packages in Leeds, Manchester Sheffield and many more places across England, with up to fifty players… That sounds like the good type of mayhem. They have junior, youth and adult matches for men or women, corporate team building deals, they give 25% off with student discounts, and they even do stag and hen do’s, they literally cater for everyone. Their Stag and Hen do package isn’t just a title either, their website says it can include of of this! “A champagne reception, customised stag T-Shirts, VIP nightclub and gentlemans lounge entry, and even a sexy referee during your ZORB Football game!” They have a load of packages and the price changes, it all depends on how many of you there are and when you want to go.

You can book online or on the phone, so there’s no need to stress about how to do it or what you want to book, just call the helpful and professional staff and they’ll help you from there. And who knows, I might see you there.

This blog was written with my friend Jake, click his name to go see his blog, I definitely recommend it.

Goal Line Technology

Goal line technology…

The beautiful game becomes the godly game – and it’s all down to the addition of goal line technology. The debate as to whether goal line technology should be implemented into football is one that has been going on for decades, and I for one am glad that it has.

You may lose a bit of banter with the lads over controversial goal opportunities but at the end of the day when it works in your favour you won’t be complaining. Take Geoff Hurst’s 1966 celebrated goal in the world cup final, how many people still taking about that today? This game is one of the most debated examples for goal line tech in sport, as it is the biggest tournament of the most popular game in the world, between two of the biggest rivals in world football. Yes, the linesman was adamant that the ball crossed the line, but we will never know for sure. If we did have goal line technology, then we could have sealed the deal there and then.

 Lampard’s disallowed goal against Germany

Do you want a more modern example? Okay, so I don’t know why I’m asking you this, but do you remember England vs. Germany in the 2010 South Africa World Cup? Well, just in case you don’t, Germany were two nil up against England when Frank Lampard fired an absolute rocket at the German goal, causing the underside of the crossbar to rattle uncontrollably whilst the ball quite clearly bounced over the line, visible to all but the linesman and the referee, keeping the score at 2-0. I think it’s safe to say that every single England supporter that saw that, seriously considered goal line technology to be a necessity from then on.

Although yes there is the rather purist argument that Football is the biggest sport in the world, and it has become such without the need of goal line technology or any type of technology for that matter. But when it comes down to it the positives outweigh the negatives easily, besides it’s only making the game fairer, so how is that a bad thing?

Daniel Sturridge Back From Injury

Many Liverpool fans will have been waiting (for far too long) for Sturridge to come back from his injury and re-join the starting 11 of an incredibly average Liverpool this season, and it couldn’t have come at a better time for long term manager Brendan Rogers, as the narrow 3-2 win over Aston Villa at the weekend was what kept him his job as Liverpool manager… For now.

Sturridge scored 2 crucial goals at the weekend, which are what earned Liverpool their vital 3 points over Villa, one of which was a lovely worked play between him and Coutinho, the Brazilian wonder-kid, a recent fan favourite at Anfield. Despite there being whispers amongst worrying fans that Sturridge would never find the sort of form he had when playing alongside Barcalona’s Suarez, he got off to a great start at the weekend and gives the impression that his career at Anfield is far from over.

Ever since SAS (Suarez & Sturridge) scored over 52 goals between each other Danny has been plagued by injury, appearing only 3 times this season, and even less last year! However, it is clear that he still knows where the back of the net is, despite having to settle for Ings instead of Suarez as his strike partner…
