I've always found the ipnlay match graphics interesting. Especially Bet365's where not only to the show a team attacking and shooting but they also follow the path of the ball.
Its always intrigued me how they do it, its one thing for the big leagues, but how do they get this data for say the Moldovan 5th division reserve matches

Right now, it's still manual. Opta, now owned by Perform/STATS are the market leaders. AI is coming down the tracks pretty darn fast for this though.

Maybe this explains Mansfield’s poor start to the season.

2 players arrested and others regularly out on the piss.

Allegedly assaulting a youth player that had been released in June.
Said victim is in hospital with horrible looking injuries.

Club owners out of the country and a rookie manager at the helm. Inmates appear to be taking over the asylum.

Mellis and O’Donohue the players arrested.

The lad has a bleed on the brain and, now, a sideways looking nose. And all because they took the piss out of the lad’s haircut and he said something back.

The malign influence of the EU on the handball rule, according to Ian Holloway anyway. Made me smile.

Can't believe Watford have told season ticket holders that if they miss a match without telling them they  could have their season ticket withdrawn,   WTF,   like being back at school.
They say the reason is that another fan could then purchase the season ticket holders seat, but wait for it -
The club keep the money and the season ticket holder gets fuck all.
You couldn't make it up, penny pinching bastards.

Greedy agents risking a young player's career so they can take a cut:

Not sure about that, although I believe ST holders are forced to buy tickets for all cup games even if they're not attending.
