Good Morning and welcome to the first post on the Wood Splitters Blog. Now I'm English, and after what happened after yesterday I'm slightly pissed off.
How is it that 40,000 people in a stadium in South Africa can clearly see that a goal was scored yet the two people who matter can't. Now I'm not one who thinks there may be a bit of under the table dealing going on, but what is FIFA'S problem with bring tech into games to sort out critical points such as this. All you need is a bloke in a office with a mic to the ref and the coverage of the T.V. Most sports have it now a days, Tennis has the referral system, cricket has video refs for run outs and they are bringing in the referral system for other dismissals and even the NFL has it. FIFA needs to have a good hard look at it as there were two goals scored today that should not have been allowed, the Germany one and also Carlos Tevas's goal vs Mexico. But hey enough about that.
One a lighter note, I play cricket myself at the weekend and for the 1st time this season both the Saturday and Sundays sides one on the same weekend. The Saturday side did really well as we were all out of 57, I top scored with 20 and I came in at no 10, yet we managed to bowl them out for 53, what a game it was. On Sunday we batted first again and we posted 164 for 8, thanks to Danny and his 87 odd. We them managed to bowl them out for about 120, again thanks to Danny with his 2 for 5 off 10. It was the Sunday sides 1st win of the season. So an up and down weekend. if you want to come and visit us the link is
