I love the Adver's method of implanting the synopsis of the story in the URLs.

I read a report recently suggesting that any story can be told in 140 characters (r.e. Twitter), but the Adver regularly better this mark :)

Are you sure this report wasn't the Guardian April Fool's joke?

That's the one.

I just assumed that part was true.

The title is classic glass half empty. I mean he dislocated his shoulder, but what if someone like Ifil had tackled him, or kicked the ball at him, he could have shattered into a billion tiny Irish pieces. Putting that back together would have been a nightmare.

A task not even all the kings horses and all the kings men could manage.
