Still chugging away at these summer and spring anime...sorry for the delay...(LOL, that rhymed without me meaning to.)

Also, I’ve been on the fence about whether to keep Golden Kamuy, since almost no one I read the reviews of follows it now and it’s a week’s wait (when accounting for my AniList challenge)...so I’m putting it on pause so I don’t have to suffer later.

Deca-Dence 4

“…who possesses the will to fight.”

…Great. Kurenai is absolutely tethered to Kaburagi in a one-sided love. Just when I thought Natsume had an independent role model to look up to.

Maou-jou 2

Oh, this is from Shonen Sunday? Didn’t know that until now.

“Demon Shroud: A demon with 99 clans. A cloth demon that puts on airs that it won’t be used before it’s finished off, due to its wonderful fabric. It is full of beautiful ghostly power, so its skin is smooth. However, the hero (who commonly uses things he finds in his surroundings) caught one, so now the princess has zeroed in on them. The princess doesn’t need the hands or the head of these demons, so it’s a cycle of killing and taking revenge for them. Their fighting style is squeezing the life out of things.”

Apparently, the teddy is acceptable, LOL.

I like how the window stopped displaying text at one point.

I saw someone with a huge plait in the ED. The queen, maybe…?

I noticed the laughs dropped off significantly in comparison to last time, but it’s still good. I can flex my translation skills even if I can’t laugh at one part.

Fruits Basket 2 24 (49)

…jumping to the 2nd-last episode in a season is pretty unprecendented, but I’m going to watch this for the sake of Jon’s Creator Showcase…then again, I need to finish this anime anyway, so it’s just cutting and changing the order for something I already know the outcomes of.

I used to lose myself in movies so much that I would lose all sense of who I was and would have to “regain the bearings of myself”, so to speak. I would have to reconstruct who I was, even though I technically hadn’t “been broken” and I knew once I did that, it felt different. Like I’d travelled through time and past me would never be the same as present me. That’s why I kind of get what Machi means.

Oh, I didn’t listen to this OP much…probably because I’m emphasising bingeing the spring and summer series I left behind and now that I can skip the ads on most of my anime, I’m leaving behind the anime I’ll be slower on.

The manga was written when there weren’t as many cell phones around, much less smartphones.

Rin’s on bad terms with everyone…

…if I remember the year of the dragon correctly, the last one was 2012, then the one before that is 2000…around the turn of the millennium, huh? Froob is showing its age here, albeit unintentionally.

Now that I’m closer to the Musketeers’ age, I can kind of empathise with their scenes a bit more.

“If I always blame someone or something, I’ll never change.” – True. I realised I’ve been a bit too haughty lately (what with the HypMic anime going on and it being the first thing I could research extensively before the anime’s debut, my feelings are of course reaching fever pitch – combine that with continued COVID lockdown and you get me being all defensive of HypMic, for better or for worse) and so I may have acted like a jerk to someone, but since I only know them online and generally when I try to apologise to people online they don’t see the things I apologise for as things in need of apology, I know the fault lies with me to rein myself in. I guess this means changing yourself is the only way to move forward.

I wonder how Hatori did his doctor training while avoiding hugs from girls who aren’t Sohmas…?

Shigure vs. Gentaro (of HypMic, of course)…a writing competition! That would be fun.

…Crow’s note here makes sense (<- this is why I changed the order). Shigure was clearly asking a question there.

Come to think of it, HypMic and Froob have some similar characters. The stoic doctor is Hatori/Jakurai, the energetic smol one is Momiji/Ramuda, the teasing author is Shigure/Gentaro…that could make for some good fanfic material, really.

Magatsu 1

…that title is an absolute killer, man. Anyways, I’m here for the director, who also worked on Hataraku Maou-sama.

Is this a no guns thing, like IWGP is a no drugs thing?

…this OP has lyrics?! I just hear strange squeaky noises, the kind you hear on some autotuned sogs to make them seem more ominous (I can’t remember if there’s a similar sound in G-Anthem of Y City or Yokohama Walker, but one of the MTC songs has similar noises).

I kinda guessed Leo’s package was the one Schaake and her partner were looking for. I was right.

That CGI (on the truck) is…kinda conspicuous.

These backgrounds are gorgeous.

“The definition of in dubio contra reum is "in doubt, against the accused", meaning that, where there is doubt, the accused in a trial is not given the benefit of that doubt; they are assumed guilty.”

I wonder: how many protagonists start out as absolute wimps, unwilling to fight because they either know or don’t know their own power? It’s a pretty standard introduction for things with fights.

This battle track is nice. I listened to some of the Magatsu music under Masaru Yokoyama’s name on Spotify and it’s pretty cool, but since it’s background music, there’s not a lot of demand to listen to it (from me or anyone else, I don’t think).

Why is there only a single shield if they know the enemy has heavy artillery?

…what the heck is a Zeits? Update: You can see a “Zeits” (or however it’s spelt) in the credits list, suggesting Zeits is a character in this.

I knew this was my last premiere and this might have made or broken my entire watching schedule, but this is just a pretty down-to-earth premiere for a fantasy mobile game. While that cliffhanger compelled me to continue, I don’t think it’s good enough to beat its competition in the long run.

IWGP 2

I know I said Magatsu was my last premiere, but just to be sure, I’m watching this one.

This dance scene is beautifully orchestrated. The fact there’s no music means you focus entirely on the motion.

The OP seems to trade more in colour and spectacle than actual “cool factor”.

…wow, $2.90…? That’s some cheap food.

You know I hate 1st person cam with a passion, right? So…uh…

Eyyyyyyyy…this is basically McDonald’s, curry style.

I think I can almost see Ichiro of HypMic in how the G-Boys seem to mostly be reformed delinquents or actual delinquents.

…yeah, but what’s your name, random messenger guy? Update: We find out later his name is Isogai.

“It’s because I suck at working and communicating.” – Yep, that me.

Ikebukuro licence plate. I still have no idea exactly what places get licence plates in Japan.

There are actually 2 characters before “Hospital”, but no one confirms the reading of those characters…which is probably why they’re omitted.

…oh gosh, if this were a BL, Mitsuki and Masaru would be star-crossed lovers…*sigh*

Maybe it’s an unrelated 3rd party??? (In mysteries, you can never dismiss the work of a 3rd party.)

You can tell exactly which group is which based on the colours they wear. Makoto isn’t affiliated with anyone, so he’s wearing black and had yellow earlier.

I think an anime is cowardly – or trying to save budget – if they deliberately choose an angle where they can’t show the moment of impact clearly.

E! News, LOL.

Archangel, huh? So like a 2nd in command?

I think IWGP is moving in the direction of pushing the gangs against each other in the way Makoto describes in ep. 2.

As for what I think of it now, it's decent if you want something down-to-earth, but it seems to be missing some kind of "wow factor". Like it's afraid to commit to deeper characterisation, even though it has Makoto as the ostensible lead/viewpoint character.

Koi to Producer 11

“Cognitive Science Association” - I thought it was the Cognitive Psychology Association…? (Psychology is shinrigaku, science is kagaku.)

My boy (Lucien)…why must you be so evil??? Why do I keep falling for the tall but mysterious doctor??? (<- guilty as charged re: Jakurai)

…that’s some funky seatbelts.

What’s that look in Victor’s eyes…? Fondness, or something more…?

…ah, so there is “Science” in the place’s name. It was just being less loosely translated then.

Oh dang. Stuff escalated really fast, huh?

You actually set this in 2020, huh, staff? What happens ten years from now and people watch it, only to realise 2020 and 2030 aren’t so different? That’s what happened when people had the Y2K bug.

That yellow sign on the side says “exit”. It’s not of any use.

That’s not a recoloured Kiro, is it? It’s not Shaw, either (who I think we saw somewhere in the previous episodes)…so then who is it?

…geesh, they even changed Helios to Ares. I guess it makes sense: Helios is the god of the sun, but Ares is the god of war.

Koi to Producer 12 (FINAL)

I read on the wiki Lucien’s power is copying powers. No wonder I couldn’t get a solid handle on it!

So that Helios wasn’t a mistake in the credits list in the previous episode???

Can we even hear what Helios says when Protag-chan is pulled away? Based on the lack of subs, probably no, but I wanted to ask anyway. (Or maybe he said “Watashi”, since that’s the pronoun Protag-chan goes by?)

…so that really is Kiro, huh?

Military…what? When did Protag-chan’s father have a military squad???

LOL, at the very end you can see Gavin gesturing at Greenie (the pot plant, presumably a succulent). I logged on to the game 7 days straight (they have a Discord channel!) and got a Gavin R card with Greenie on it, which is how I know about it.

Anyways, that was a fun show. Not the best, but still fun.

HypMic 3

*snickers* Just look at my boi! He’s so tall, he has to bend down for kids! (I don’t mean that teasingly, I mean that endearingly, but lately I’ve been no good at expressing myself…Must be the lockdown.)

If TsudaKen was a guest last time, then Degarashi and Irihatoma could be voiced by guest seiyuus too…

What is Jakurai, hmm? (A Transformer, LOL?...I’m kidding, of course.)

All I knew about this episode going in was that it was an MTR episode. Maybe they’ll cover the stalker story from the manga…?

More literally, Hifumi’s sign says “will you monopolise me until morning?”. This reminds me of the MTR truck one of the servers I was in was talking about…it looked like a giant billboard.

“The most notable thing about Doppo is that he has no notable characteristics.”…and yet, he’s still one of the most popular characters of the series.

Suddenly, HypMic becomes a mystery…? I’ll take it!

Yup, “Doppomine” is now confirmed as “Doppo-chin”.

If all the mysteries I’ve consumed say one thing, it’s “never forget there might be someone out there with a grudge against you willing to pin a crime on you”…or alternatively, “never forget there may be an unrelated 3rd party who would be willing to pin a crime on you”.

These guys (Tom etc.) are just food critics, I swear…(LOL)

Oddly enough(?), googling “Shinjuku waffles” reveals there are several waffle places in Shinjuku…you wouldn’t expect so many waffles away from the home of waffles (probably Belgium), but there you go.

All the results on Shinjuku French toast point to this Café Aaliya (give or take an H at the end). Apparently, it’s so popular, people line up for it on weekdays.

Oh, so Tom’s a (street) photographer…what are Iris and Rex then?

The CGI on that car looks really bad, man. It may be dark to disguise it, but it still looks bad.

Jakurai’s dad car strikes again!...Was it white? I don’t remember, but I’m pretty sure it was a lighter colour than this.

I was quite worried about how much swearing they were going to throw in the MTC episode, but then…they kicked it down a week. So…start worrying about next week, folks!

I…thought he would call Jyuto for some reason. (giggles) I’ve never seen Samatoki look so happy in relation to Jakurai, but maybe that’s because he’s just chilling. (Or maybe he was meant to have a neutral but slightly happy face and they messed up the angle. I know I do that sometimes in fanart.)

There’s Jyuto, right on cue…LOL, that kick to the guts was so random it became epic!

Uwabami…what sort of snake is that, again? *checks* Giant snake. That’s no help. (That host could have a guest seiyuu too.)

Ooh, I’m fairly sure that’s an automatic car.

Jakurai went Jitsu wa kyoumi bukai desu ne?. “Fascinating” isn’t a wrong translation, but they did forget “In fact…” or “Really…” from the start and possibly the “?” at the end (depending on interpretation). Update: It might actually be Jitsu ni, but same deal.

They struttin’ down Kabuki-cho all fancy-like…Doppo sure does get a lot of punchlines, though.

This random guy at the club could also have a guest seiyuu…

…what’s with the random Tahoma?

…oh, hey. If Hifumi’s jacket acts as a security blanket of sorts against women and he gave it to Doppo for extra warmth (presumably), then…he’s trying to protect Doppo, even in his own sort of unique way.

Mimimi vs Hifumi? This is gonna get confusing…(hey, did they actually make a flourish noise when Hifumi put on his jacket? Does the distinction need to be that clear…?)

…see, never forget the presence of an unrelated 3rd party.Wait, so we have motive…what’s the relationship of Mimimi and the dude she killed? Who is that dude? Update: We find out later.

Notice Mimimi says “Hifumi-kun” – she’s still on an outside layer compared to Doppo, who just uses Hifumi’s name. Also, I noticed Mimimi called herself Hifumi’s “onna” – “woman” – explicitly, as if she belonged to him. The subs reflect that, but it seems to have less meaning in English because they outright translated it as such.

Well, they got to demonstrate Doppo’s snapping. I’m more than happy with just that. Also, Hifumi calls Doppo with a -kun here.

LOL, this song is gonna be known as “catchy”, ain’t it? Anything with an easy-to-sing-along chorus like “nananana” is. Update: Or maybe not even a chorus, it’s just lyrics.

Hmm…I noticed the “use Mr with me” line isn’t actually reflected in the subs, but the lyrics are so fast, I don’t know how they are reflected.

Did you notice the da in the lyrics in romaji?

…and s*** goes ka-blooey, as you’ve come to expect by now.

Mimimi-kun…?

Oh, so the background from Hypnosis Mics can get caught in photos? I never thought of that.

It’s almost as if they’re nodding at the Doppo fans through the 4th wall regarding his appeal.

It seems they’re not switching out this Buster Bros track, which is…okay, but I was hoping for an MTR ED. (Tofubeats was on this track IIRC and the anime website didn’t list a future ED, so that’s why I’m okay with it.)

…Okay, so Irihatoma is Mutsumi Iwanaka, who’s a rookie in the seiyuu world. *goes to consult Anime News Network*

Oh! Mimimi Hibakari! I get it! (It means “me, me, me all day” when written differently to her name.)

Uwabami was Shugo Nakamura and Degarashi was Mitsuaki Hoshino. I’ve never heard of these guys – except for Nakamura’s role as Teru in Idolm@ster Side M – so it’s interesting they contrasted TsudaKen with them…eh? Heilong? Whossat? (Probably the guy whose…parts…almost got crushed by Jakurai with a billiards cue.) This Hiroya Eto is even more underground than those guys.

A-hah! Today’s new song is “WELCOME U” (that’s how it’s spelt, don’t diss me for it!) by Kohei from SIMONSAYZ.

Update: I thought that kid at the beginning was Yotsutsuji, so it scared me for a second.

It Seems Like Nothing Changes

Paul Cussen

June 1919

In June 1919 the Cork Furniture Store, which had moved from Merchant Street to a new premises on Winthrop Street, took over London House on Saint Patrick’s Street and expanded to sell ladies clothes. The firm was owned by William Roche from Killavullen.

The Ford building on the marina covered a floor area of 330,000 square feet, just over 7.5 acres. The company employed 1,800 workers. John O’Neill, who joined Ford in 1919 and later became Managing Director of the plant (in 1932), described the plant as being ‘ahead of anything else in Europe’ in terms of layout and equipment.

In late June the lease on the Cork National Shell Factory was taken over from the Corporation of Cork by Richard Woodhead, acting on behalf of the Ford Company. In the 1930s it was leased to the Lee Motor Company.

Cork hurlers changed from blue jerseys with a large saffron C across the chest after British forces raided the County Board offices in Cook Street and confiscate their kits.

In June 1919 Michael Collins was made president of the IRB (Irish Republician Brotherhood).

Terence MacSwiney led an abortive raid to gain arms and ammunition at the Killeagh air ship base, a facility of the Royal Naval Air Service.

The 2nd Battalion of the Royal Munster Fusiliers remained in France until June 1919 when they returned to England.

From January to June 198 British soldiers in Ireland died: 118 from influenza/pneumonia, 55 died from other natural causes, 6 died from firearms accidents, 15 from accidents not involving firearms and 4 from suicide.

Martin Doyle, originally from New Ross in Wexford, received his Victoria Cross from King George V at Buckingham Palace. In October 1920 he joined the IRA in East Clare acting as an intelligence officer.

"The Vicious Circle" gathered at the Algonquin for the first time as the result of a practical joke carried out by theatrical press agent John Peter Toohey. It is only later, with their numbers growing, that they move to the now famous round table.

1 June

de Valera embarks on his tour of the USA with three aims:

· to ask for official recognition of the Irish Republic,

· to obtain a loan to finance the work of the new government, and

· to secure the support of the American people for the republic

2 June

New York City night watchman William Boehner is the only fatality as eight bombs detonate in eight cities across America. Each of the bombs is delivered with several copies of a pink flyer, titled "Plain Words", that read:

War, Class war, and you were the first to wage it under the cover of the powerful institutions you call order, in the darkness of your laws. There will have to be bloodshed; we will not dodge; there will have to be murder: we will kill, because it is necessary; there will have to be destruction; we will destroy to rid the world of your tyrannical institutions.

The bombings are carried out by Italian anarchist followers of Luigi Galleani.

3 June

Private Peter Asher dies of pneumonia at the military hospital in Buttevant.

Today’s Manchester Guardian review of Chekov’s The Seagull says:

“The Seagull” is a low-spirited play, and the sharpness of tragedy in it is blunted by Tchekov’s (sic) satire and irrelevances of other kinds. Tchekov, as we know from his stories, is a genial soul, and one missed somehow the feeling of sincerity in the climax to-day.

6 June

June Huband (who used the nom de plume Helen Forrester) is born in Hoylake on Merseyside (d.2011)

The United States Senate pass a resolution asking for the delegation appointed by Dáil Éireann to be given a hearing at the Paris Peace Conference, and expressing sympathy with the “aspirations of the Irish people for a government of their own choice”.

5-7 June

600-700 Armenian civilians are murdered by armed ethnic Azeri and Kurdish irregulars and Azerbaijani soldiers in the Khaibalikend massacre.

7 June

“I’m Alcock – just come from Newfoundland”, the Vimy pilot told the Marconi technicians that had tried to warn them about the bog.

“Yesterday, I was in America, and I’m the first man in Europe ever to say that.” – Arthur Brown

16 June

Fourteen IRA volunteers from the Kilbrittain company ambush a six-man British Army-RIC patrol at Rathclarin, Co. Cork and seize 5 rifles, one revolver and 200 rounds of ammunition. Only 2 of the IRA men are armed for the ambush. Volunteer Mick O’Neill is injured in the raid which was not sanctioned by Brigade HQ. "The fact that it was completely successful had an immense effect on morale and on the whole direction of the volunteer military effort in West Cork."

Greek forces lose 20 men in the Malgaç Raid as Turkish forces destroy the railway bridge and capture weapons and ammunition.

Emulation's fun! - Happy Mac

Welcome to the Guides intro to Emulation.

Below, are instructions and links that will show you how to run games that you will find located in the Macintosh Garden's pages.

Selecting an Emulator

The Guides

Introduction to Emulation

Macintosh Garden features many abandonware games. These games can be decades old, and therefore were developed for computers and operating systems that are now obsolete. As a consequence, many of the games featured on Macintosh Garden will not work on today's computers. The best way to run these games is to acquire a vintage computer system, but this is not always easy. To help those without old hardware, this wiki will describe how to use emulators to play the games on modern systems.

Selecting an Emulator

For best results you should try to emulate the machine that your game was designed for! Check the publishing date of the game for hints. Any host system can run an emulator. This means that users of Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and even more esoteric operating systems can all enjoy the games on Macintosh Garden. The four main emulators you will use are:

QEMU

Emulates a PowerPC Macintosh that will run Mac OS versions 9.0.4 to 10.5.

SheepShaver

Emulates a PowerPC Macintosh that will run Mac OS versions 7.5.2 to 9.0.4. This means that you are emulating a Macintosh setup that was commonly used from about 1995 to 2000. Games published in the late 90s are most stable in SheepShaver. Games that require

a PowerPC processor will only run in SheepShaver.Skip to the guides for SheepShaver

Basilisk II

Basilisk II emulates a 680x0 Macintosh that will run Mac OS versions 7 to 8.1. This represents a date range of about 1991 to 1998. Games published in the early and mid 1990s are most stable in Basilisk II.Skip to the guides for Basilisk II

Mini vMac

Games published in the 1980s will usually run best in Mini vMac. Mini vMac emulates a black and white (only) Mac Plus (68000 processor) that can run System versions 1 to 7.5.5. (Work is being done on Mac II support, including color, in Mini vMac with a large number of possible variations.) This represents a date range of about 1984 to 1996.Skip to the guides for Mini vMacKeep in mind that there is a lot of backwards compatibility in Mac OS. SheepShaver and Mac OS 9 run a lot of games from the 1980s and early 1990s, and Basilisk II runs many 1980s games with no problems.

The Guides

Setting up an emulator is easy, and there is a wealth of setup guides available to help you out. Keep in mind that before you begin, you will need a valid Macintosh ROM image to run an emulator. You can get this from your old Macintosh computer, if you own one. Otherwise one will have to be acquired elsewhere, e.g.; from friends, family members, or online searches.You'll also need a copy of an old version of Mac OS to run in your emulator. Versions 6 to 7.5.5 are available for free and the guides below will show you where to get them and how to use them. Later versions (useful mostly in SheepShaver) were not free, so you will either need to buy a disc from somewhere or check through the apps section of this website for a suitable copy.

For Mini vMac

Mini vMac is the easiest of the emulators to get started with. Most users can just check out the official documentation and should be up and running without too much effort.

Windows users can check out an illustrated setup guide.

iPhone users can also run Mini vMac. Check out the official page of that port for more information.

For Basilisk ll

E-Maculation has a setup guide for Mac OS X users, and another guide for Windows users, and another here for users of the Linux port of Basilisk II.

Linux users can also consult the official documentation (Web archive link: site currently off-line).

For SheepShaver

Low End Mac has a concise setup guide for OS X users. Note: If you are following this guide, please first download a more recent version of SheepShaver.

For more advanced issues, Emaculation.com has a more detailed guide and a forum dedicated to setting up SheepShaver for OS X.

Emaculation.com also has a setup guide for Windows users.

The WordPerfect Mac Yahoo group has complete installs of SheepShaver for Intel Macs. No other software needed. Free at WPMac.

Linux can consult the Ubuntu setup guide for help.

For QEMU

Emaculation.com also has setup guides for Mac OS X users as well as for Windows users.

Downloading games from this website

Most games featured on Macintosh Garden are archived in the

Backyard Football 2002 Emulator

A guide to NS Mura for Spurs fans

Given it’s likely that most Spurs fans won’t have heard of NS Mura, I thought it best to give a detailed run through of the team Spurs are about to run into/through in the Conference League…

The Club - NS Mura were founded in 2012 and aren’t to be confused with ND Mura, their predecessor club founded in 2005 that died in 2012 or to be confused with NK Mura founded in 1924 that died in, you guessed it, 2005. They normally play out of the Fazanerija stadium in Murska Sobota (which is a great stadium) although, for reasons to do with UEFA’s minimum requirements, they’ll be holding home ties at Maribor’s Ljudski Vrt (which is only about 40 mins up the road). Their ultras group, the Crazy Gringos is also perhaps Slovenia’s most impactful fan group.

Last season, they defeated Maribor 3-1 in a top two clash on the final day of the season to win the club’s first ever national championship (in any iteration of the club!) with them winning their first Slovenian Cup the season prior. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe their current spell as the best period in the club’s history, whether you take that as starting in 2012 or 1924. This is their first appearance in any European group stage and they will surely be rueing their luck as having been thrown in against perhaps the best side in each of the three pots above them.

The Manager - Ante Simundza probably has a claim to be one of Slovenia’s greatest ever managers. No other manager has managed two separate European Group stage campaigns and, having picked Mura up in the lower leagues, taking them to the title last season was an incredible achievement. He is currently in his third spell at Mura - his first saw him take a side tipped for the drop into third, his second was more stewardship while ND Mura went into bankruptcy and this spell has seen him settle into a four-year spell of continuous growth.

The best way to describe him would be uncomplicated. Simundza sides are tight, competitive and tough to beat and he has plenty of good results in Europe on his CV be that CL group draws vs Chelsea and Sporting, beating Celtic in a CL playoff or drawing vs Sevilla in the Europa League last 32.

But it’s very fair to add that this Mura side are a weaker side than his Maribor one of the mid-2010s that were able to pull those results off.

The players - Mura are a likeable group be it keeper Matko Obradovic, who insists on wearing the number 69 (…nice), or Ziga Kous, whose reaction to winning the Slovenian title was to give an interview on TV stating he’d be out partying for the next two days (and kept his word!).

On the pitch, while no Simundza side is ever an action packed fun ride, players like Luka Bobicanec and Mitja Lotric are some of the best attacking midfielders the Slovenian league has to offer and the money from this European run has been invested into bringing last season’s top scorer in the league Nardin Malahusejnovic into the group along with other proven domestic talents such as the aforementioned Lotric and Ziga Skoflek. Bobicanec, Lotric, Horvat and Klepac can, and will, shoot on sight with sometimes absolutely spectacular results (albeit, Bobicanec will very likely be missing due to injury).

The Tactics - Mura aren’t necessarily the easiest side to get a gauge on in terms of how they’ll set up given that they have brought quite a few players in this summer. Most of last season saw them in a fairly standard 4-2-3-1 but this season has seen them alternate a lot more between 4-2-3-1 and 3-4-1-2.

Neither of these are a massively comfortable fit given the personnel Mura have and how they’ve chosen to go about their business this summer (which, in my own opinion, has left them quite imbalanced with lots of good players who like playing off the striker but no-one there for them to play off).

If one looks at the Vitesse game, Mura started with Kozar and Horvat deeper in the 4-2-3-1, which isn’t necessarily the best role for Horvat (who is naturally a more attacking player), and Klepac as a lone striker, which definitely isn’t his best role (because he’s a winger and his scoring record isn’t great - last season, only Bobicanec took more shots per 90 than Klepac in the league. Klepac scored once last season - albeit it was the goal that won the title). When going three at the back, the tendency is to push Kous and Sturm (FBs) into midfield areas with Klepac as a free role just sort of running about the place up front annoying people. I would expect Mura to set up with a three vs Spurs which they’ve used in victories vs Olimpija and Maribor recently but their 3-4-1-2 will look a bit more like a 3-3-3-1.

Mura’s key issue vs Vitesse was the lack of an outball for much of the game and getting the ball to stick up front and should they proceed as vs Vitesse with Klepac as a lone nuisance buzzing around, a repeat of that problem is likely - selection of the taller Nardin Malahusejnovic or Kai Cipot may be the way they go.

But, to be fair, all of this is pretty immaterial because…

The Outcome - The total market value of the entire Slovenian Prva Liga as per Transfermarkt is just under £47m. Tottenham’s value is worth around 13 times that. While English sides do famously have a tendency to take it a little bit easy in European competitions that don’t start with the word “Champions”, it’s fair to say that Mura lack a player who would even get on Spurs’ bench, never mind in the actual team. Were Mura to turn Spurs over in London, it would rightly go down as one of Spurs’ most embarrassing moments in their history (or, at least, since the first 45 minutes vs Arsenal this past weekend). Arguably, Mura’s greatest hope would be that Spurs rehire the chef from Lasagna-gate and poison the entire side in the hours leading up to the game.

But this is football and football can be weird. Simundza has gotten surprising results in Europe before when at Maribor and when Mura have clicked in Europe, their record has been pretty good, as seen when thrashing Shkendija in CL qualifying. Even vs Vitesse, where Mura were outclassed, they managed one big chance in the first half and had positive spells early in the second that could have changed the outlook of that game had they taken them. Spurs have the talent to blow Mura away, but Mura have the resolve to keep it competitive for periods - even if one were to go back to their 5-1 loss to PSV in the EL last season, perhaps their only game against a side of comparable quality to Spurs, PSV were made to work for that, particularly in the first half where Mura were more than competitive.

So, for Mura to have a chance they must score first and they must not be afraid to shoot - against Vitesse, the crossing game didn’t work and, with time in Spurs’ final third likely to be at a premium asking the likes of Klepac and Lotric to shoot on sight (and have someone following in for any nice rebounds) is going to be one of the only ways to get shots off in any volume - they do have the individual ability to test Spurs from longer range areas so, barring any glaring errors that grant Mura opportunity to get the ball into the box, it’s likely that much of their threat will come from individual efforts catching Spurs out.

Last time a Slovenian side met an English one in a European group, Liverpool hammered Maribor 7-0 in Slovenia. Mura don’t necessarily have the glaring vulnerabilities that that Maribor side had but, were Spurs to win by a similar amount, it would be only a minor surprise. That isn’t a reflection on how Mura will play, but it is an acceptance of the absolute gulf in resources the two clubs have. Had Vitesse had their shooting boots on, they could have and probably should have won by more than two - Mura weren’t disgraced but they weren’t particularly competitive either. Mura will test Spurs for periods, Mura do have a way they can threaten (agricultural though the concept of simply shooting as soon as you’re 25 yards out may be), but the chances of Mura actually getting a result in London are somewhere between little and none.

For Mura to have reached the Conference League group stage is an achievement in itself and, arguably, an endorsement of the aims of the competition to get more nations into group stages of European competitions. That their players are being exposed to this higher level of competition will be a valuable experience for many, in particular the young homegrown talents of the Cipot brothers and also the journeymen talents who have become associated with the club like Kous and Karnicnik. The funding that this run is bringing in will make the club more secure and more able to try to retain their title. Simply being here in the first place is massive for both the club and for Slovenian football and though they may be minnows fighting giants, they will hope that their arms are long enough to bloody a nose or two.

They will certainly not go without trying.

Major Components:

Writer – a word processor you can use for anything from writing a quick letter to producing an entire book.

Calc – a powerful spreadsheet with all the tools you need to calculate, analyse, and present your data in numerical reports or sizzling graphics.

Impress – the fastest, most powerful way to create effective multimedia presentations. Vector drawing tool Draw – lets you produce everything from simple diagrams to dynamic 3D illustrations.

Base – lets you manipulate databases seamlessly. Create and modify tables, forms, queries, and reports, all from within OpenOffice.org

Math – lets you create mathematical equations with a graphic user interface or by directly typing your formulas into the equation editor.

Mac OS X Support

With Version 3.0, OpenOffice.org is now able to run on Mac OS X without the need for X11. Thus, OpenOffice.org behaves like any other Aqua application.

ODF 1.2 Support

Openoffice For Mac Os X

OpenOffice.org 3.0 already supports the features of the upcoming version 1.2 of the ISO standard OpenDocument Format (ODF). ODF 1.2 includes a powerful formula language as well as a sophisticated metadata model based on the W3C standards RDF and OWL. ODF is being mandated and adopted in a growing number of countries. In addition; ODF is being implemented by many vendors for many different applications.

Microsoft Office 2007 Import Filters

In addition to read and write support for the Microsoft Office binary file formats (.doc; .xls, .ppt, etc.), OpenOffice.org 3.0 is now capable of opening files created with Microsoft Office 2007 or Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac OS X (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, etc.). Thus, OpenOffice.org users can interact with users still using Microsoft Office. The various filters for the Microsoft Office file formats also make mixed environments possible, so that some users stay on Microsoft Office while others use OpenOffice.org.

Solver

OpenOffice.org now also has a solver component which allows solving optimization problems where the optimum value of a particular spreadsheet cell has to be calculated based on constraints provided in other cells. The new solver component should be particularly interesting to Mac users considering that Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac OS X apparently does not include a solver feature anymore.

Chart Enhancements

Many OpenOffice.org users requests support for displaying custom error bars and regression equations. The OpenOffice.org developer community including Sun listened to these users and added these highly desired features to OpenOffice.org 3.0. Thus; now it's possible to draw error bars based on error ranges provided in spreadsheet cells. In addition, it is possible to display regression equations as well as correlation coefficients.

Openoffice For Mac Free

1024 Columns Per Calc Sheet (Instead of 256)

With support for 1024 columns; OpenOffice.org 3.0 can now handle significantly more data than before. Previous versions only supported 256 columns.

Display of Multiple Writer Pages While Editing

When you are writing larger documents; it is often nice to see the current page in a context, i.e. to also see the previous and the next page. With the new zoom slider, it is now easily possible to change the zoom factor. More importantly, OpenOffice.org Writer can now display multiple pages at the same time. This features is particularly handy on large monitors or dual-monitor setups.

New Sidebar

The Sidebar is a major new feature of the user interface in all of the OpenOffice applications.

The Sidebar makes better use of today's widescreen displays than traditional toolbars. The 'Properties' deck is context-sensitive and shows panels with the document properties that are most frequently used for the current editing task.

Different panels expanded or collapsed

Eleven property panels have been migrated from IBM Lotus Symphony: Alignment, Area, Cell Appearance, Graphic, Line, Number Format, Page, Paragraph, Position and Size, Text and Wrap.

Seven panels come from the old Impress tool panel: Available for Use, Custom Animation, Layouts, Recently Used, Slide Transition, Table Design, Used in This Presentation.

Four are non-modal (ie non locking) dialogs: Functions, Gallery, Navigator, Syles and Formatting.

One is new: Insert.

The width of the Sidebar can be adjusted. The controls adapt their size accordingly. If you need more space then it can be undocked — and possibly moved to a second display — or it can be reduced to a thin tab bar. A single click on one of the icons and the sidebar is back.

Interoperability Improvements

Free coding app for mac. Swift is a robust and intuitive programming language created by Apple for building apps for iOS, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. It’s designed to give developers more freedom than ever. Swift is easy to use and open source, so anyone with an idea can create something incredible.

Fidelity and interoperability improvement is an ongoing goal for Apache OpenOffice. And there are many improvements going in to the new version. Here an overview of some of the major fidelity improvements since the Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 release, including features, enhancements and defect fixes.

What's New:

Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1 is a maintenance release which fixes critical issues and improves the overall quality of the application. All users of Apache OpenOffice 4.0 or earlier are advised to upgrade.

General areas of improvement include: additional native language translations, bug fixes, performance improvements and Windows 8 compatibility enhancements.

Wow, Liverpool are Fun!

I want to talk about Liverpool. Specifically, this year’s Liverpool. But first, let’s start by discussing my all-time favourite Liverpool season.

My all-time favourite Liverpool season is 2013-14, when Suarez, Sturridge and Gerrard shot us to 2nd place in the league. The season was a heavy one, played in the shadow of the Hillsborough inquests, Suarez’s biting ban and what felt like (and was) Gerrard’s final chance at a title. The best game was a 3-2 win at Anfield over Man City, which was played on the 25th Anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the pre-game, where the entire stadium sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone” acapella while Gerrard warmed up in the sun beneath the flags and banners of the Kop. When the full-time whistle went, Gerrard cried (me too) and did an impromptu military style team-talk. Liverpool played with black armbands that day. What I’m trying to say, is that that whole season felt like history being written. It felt important and meaningful. The themes running through it were tragedy, struggle and destiny. It was a wonderful, unforgettable season, but it wasn’t exactly fun.

That season’s team is all gone now. Gerrard has retired, Suarez has left and Sturridge is on loan injured (get well soon buddy). We have a new team now, and this years team is fun.

Fun? Liverpool has always seemed to exist with a higher purpose unrelated to the concept of fun. But yep, that’s what this team is. It starts with the players. The heart of the team, Roberto Firmino, plays with a childlike joy. 14% of his goals have been no-look. He dresses up in Mortal Kombat cosplay in his spare time. Previous teams played it straight with their celebrations, exploding with pent-up emotion. Firmino celebrates with a playful self-awareness, as if he realises that this is just a game and we should have a good time. Sadio Mane takes this self-awareness to the next level by copying Firmino’s celebrations.

The other players are great too. Loris Karius and Emre Can are caricatures of German boyband members. Nathaniel “Clyney” Clyne has been injured the whole year, yet still found the time to appear in and be humiliated on Love & Hip Hop: Miami. Alberto Moreno walks his dog with a hoverboard and should definitely be a guest commentator after he retires. And then, of course, is Mohamad Salah, who is just uncomplicatedly perfect.

Manager Jurgen Klopp embodies all the “serious” values of the club with his passion, socialist politics and empathy. Yet he is able to do so without the overwrought moralism of the (definitely un-fun) Brendan Rodgers. Klopp is fun. Can you imagine Shankly getting away with something like this? Would Rodgers have described a victory like this? Klopp is comfortable in his own skin, gaining the trust of his players by believing in them and treating them with warmth. He is the ultimate cool-dad manager, equally inspiring and self-aware.

Obviously, though we are sitting pretty in the league and Europe, there is still a fair way to go in the season. We could easily collapse against City next week and Chelsea are not out of the top 4 race just yet. But this week I’m just thankful. Thankful that our team is playing such good football. Thankful that our owners (who are 50% fun) are competent and not a corrupt oligarch or an actual country. And, thankful that this team has been so much fun to watch and support.

#liverpool #liverpool fc #YNWA #salah #mohamad salah #mane #firmino #bobby firmino #roberto firmino #emre can #jurgen klopp

Best goalkeepers in football history

Goalkeepers’ responsibility is to keep the ball out of a 7.32×2.44 meter goal in any possible way. A goalkeeper must remain vigilant for several minutes at a time before being called into action, and their split-second decisions can often decide the outcome of an entire match.

The best goalkeepers of all time exhibit attributes, such as pace, coordination, bravery, strength, leadership, concentration, positioning, anticipation, reflexes, and agility.

Below we take a look at the top goalkeepers of all time:

1. Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich & Germany)

Manuel Peter Neuer, born on the 27 March of 1986, is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.

The German professional footballer plays as a goalkeeper and captains Bayern Munich and the German national team.

Because of his unique playing style and speed when rushing off his line to anticipate opponents, Neuer has been described as a "sweeper-keeper."

Schalke 04, Bayern Munich, and Germany's national team goalkeeper may only just be starting out on his career, but he has, in the nine years he has been playing the game, shown that he is one of the best.

In fact, it was the 26-year-old’s sensational displays for Schalke as they unexpectedly made it all the way to the semi-finals of the 2011 Champions League that persuaded Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich to splash €22 million to recruit Neuer.

However, Neuer has simply gone from strength to strength since moving to the Allianz Arena, gaining in confidence, with his remarkable shot-stopping, reflexes, and agility defying belief.

Neuer carried his outstanding form on to the international stage, being the best goalkeeper at both the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 as he established himself as the undisputed German goalkeeper.

The 33-year-old goalkeeper suffered serious injuries in 2017/18 and spent 2018/19 regaining his form.

Neuers’ marriage was reported to fall apart and the couple has been reported to live separately for some time. Neuer and Nina’s love story began in 2014 and was reportedly over only three years later. When asked about the situation, the goalkeeper asked for privacy on the issue.

Neuer salary is £259,000 on a weekly basis and he has signed a contract with Bayern Munich until 2021.

2. David Da Gea (Manchester United & Spain)

David de Gea Quintana, born on the 7th of November 1990, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Manchester United and the Spain national team. He is regarded to be one of the best goalkeepers of all time.

The Spaniard has undoubtedly taken the art of goalkeeping to a new level in the past couple of years. There's nothing excessively flash about him, in fact, he could be considered as unconventional because of the high percentage of saves he makes with his feet, but so often he just makes saves which nobody expects him to make.

His showreel develops season by season, with this campaign's highlighting the save from Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League. There was the double stop against Arsenal which sent the internet into a spin, while a favorite of many is the Superman dive against Everton in the 2014/15 season.

David De Gea signed a 6-year contract with the Manchester United club, including an annual average salary of £19,500,000. He earns £375,000 on a weekly basis and he has signed a contract with Manchester United until 2026.

3. Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus & Italy)

The goalkeeper with the Alice band in his hair is, and always has been, one of the world’s greatest goalkeepers.

From his famous Serie A debut against AC Milan as a teenager to leading Juventus to a record-breaking seventh successive Scudetto, Buffon boasts a sustained level of excellence that is simply unrivaled.

His opponent Casillas once said, "It's impossible to find any weaknesses in his game."

As well as being a national icon for the role he played in Italy's 2006 World Cup triumph when he was beaten only by an own goal and a penalty, Buffon is a legend at Juve for having stayed with the club in spite of their relegation to Serie B.

The one major title missing from his CV is the Champions League but its absence does nothing to detract from his standing within the game. Indeed, he bows out as one of the few universally famous goalkeepers in football history.

Buffon first came into view as a 19-year-old when he replaced Gianluca Pagliuca for Italy’s crucial World Cup play-off first leg in Moscow. Buffon was selected as the man-of-the-match display in the process, and ever since, he has been performing miracles in goal for his country, as well as for club sides Parma and Juventus.

It was the ‘Old Lady of Italian Football’ who bought the shot-stopper from Parma for a then world-record fee of £32.5 million in 2001. In the intervening 12 years, Buffon has won Serie A titles with Juve and has been voted the best goalkeeper in Europe on several occasions.

Although, perhaps it is for the Azzurri that Buffon is best remembered. He has won 123 caps to date, and more importantly, played a crucial role in Italy’s 2006 World Cup triumph. He came in second in that year’s Ballon d’Or.

In 2019, Buffon signed a contract with Juventus until 2020, including an annual average salary of €4,992,000.

4. Petr Cech (Chelsea, Arsenal & Czech, retired)

Petr Cech, born on the 20th of May 1982, is a Czech former professional football player who played as a goalkeeper and has been described by numerous players and managers as one of the greatest goalkeepers in European history.

The giant Chelsea and Czech Republic goalkeeper has been one of the most consistent and outstanding shot-stoppers of the last 10 years. Many consider Petr Cech to be one of the top three keepers on Planet Football for the period following his move from Rennes to Chelsea in 2004.

Cech has remained ever-present at Stamford Bridge, winning three Premier League titles and the Champions League, while also recording 98 caps for his country, the second-most in Czech Republic history.

However, the man who once went 928 minutes without conceding a goal while at Sparta Prague in 2001-02 lost just some of his aura in goal following the horrific broken skull that he suffered while playing against Reading in the Premier League in Oct 2006.

But his sensational displays in goal as the West Londoners won their first-ever European Cup in 2011-12 silenced the whispers forever.

Petr Cech signed a one-year contract with the Arsenal F.C., including an annual average salary of £5,720,000. Later, in June 2019, he announced his retirement and continued his job as a technical and performance advisor for Chelsea.

5. Iker Casillas (Real Madrid, FC Porto & Spain)

Iker Casillas Fernandez, born on the 20th of May 1981, was a Spanish professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Portuguese club Porto. Casillas is widely recognized as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time mainly because of his spectacular saves.

Ever since Iker Casillas debuted for the biggest club in the world at the young age of 16, he enjoyed nothing but success, claiming five Liga titles, two Champions League crowns, one Copa de Rey, four Supercopas, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Intercontinental Cup.

Moreover, he captained the country to their first national title in 44 years at Euro 2008, a feat he repeated at Euro 2012, and in between he led Spain to their first and only World Cup triumph in South Africa, making him one of only a very select band of players to have won every major domestic and world titles.

Despite the fact that Casillas had a heart attack in July 2019, he returned for pre-season training with Porto squad.

After Casillas agreed to play one more season at Porto, he took a pay cut to stay in Primeira Liga. For the two-year deal the goalkeeper initially signed at Estadio do Dragao, Real Madrid covered a portion of his €11 million a year wages. However, Casillas could claim only 7m euros in annual salary in 2017/18.

6. Lev Yashin (Dynamo Moscow & Soviet Union)

Lev Ivanovich Yashin, born on the 22nd of October 1929 and died on March 20th of 1990 in Moscow, Russia, was a former Soviet professional footballer, considered by many as the greatest goalkeeper in the football history.

The only goalkeeper to have ever won the Ballon d'Or, Lev Yashin was a true pioneer of his position. At a time when goalkeepers were expected to remain rooted to their line, the Russian became renowned for his bravery in charging out of his goal to claim crosses and close down onrushing forwards.

Yashin, who was named goalkeeper of the 20th century by the IFFHS, was beloved for his showmanship, wowing crowds with his spectacular, acrobatic saves, as well as his iconic all-black strip, which, coupled with the illusion of having extra limbs, earned him the nickname 'The Black Spider'.

A revolutionary in terms of punching the ball away and short throwouts, Yashin became the standard by which all other goalkeepers were judged and it is only fitting that, since 1994, the best goalkeeper at any World Cup is presented the 'Lev Yashin Award'.

The first great modern goalkeeper, the ‘Black Spider’, as he was known due to his outstanding reflexes, played for just one club throughout his career, Dynamo Moscow. He represented Dynamo Moscow on 326 occasions between 1950 and 1970 while winning 78 caps for the Soviet Union (1954-67), playing in three World Cups, and winning gold at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne.

The working-class hero, Yashin, didn’t enjoy the same salary compared to his European counterparts. A Soviet journalist recalls a story about Yashin going to a restaurant with Ferenc Puskás, a star forward from Hungary who played for Real Madrid.

As Puskás took out his wallet to pay the bill, Yashin was shocked: “I’ve never seen such a large amount of money in my life, let alone earned it.”

7. Peter Schmeichel (Manchester United, Denmark, retired)

Peter Boleslaw Schmeichel, born 18 November 1963, is a former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper at English club Manchester United and Denmark national team.

Peter Schmeichel is famous for his intimidating presence in the penalty area when confronting an onrushing player. His now famous ‘starfish’ saves, that he perfected so often throughout his long and glittering career, prove he was undoubtedly the greatest goalkeeper ever to have represented Manchester United and Denmark.

Schmeichel played 292 times for the club from 1991 to 1999, winning five league titles before his crowning moment at Old Trafford that fittingly came in his last game for the Red Devils.

He captained the club to victory in the 1999 Champions League final, where his man-of-the-match performance helped Sir Alex Ferguson’s side win the Treble.

He also shone for his country, playing a record 129 times for Denmark, which included causing one of the biggest shocks in the history of international football when they won Euro 92.

Credited with revolutionizing the way modern keepers now play the game, acting as a sweeper behind his back four, his ability to come out on top when faced with one-one-one attacking situations was remarkable.

Schmeichel scored nine outstanding goals during his career. In August 2018, the goalkeeper’s net worth is estimated to be $25 million.

8. Oliver Kahn (Bayern Munich & Germany)

Oliver Rolf Kahn, born 15 June 1969, was a German former football goalkeeper. In 1994, he signed a contract with Bayern Munich for the fee of DM4.6 million, where he played until the end of his career in 2008.

Oliver Kahn was an absolute colossus between the sticks for both Bayern Munich and Germany and probably the best keeper when confronted with a one-on-one situation with an opposition player.

The blond-haired, fiery No. 1 won everything there is to win in the club game while in Bavaria. The highlight of his career coming when his penalty-saving heroics in the shootout of the 2001 Champions League final against Valencia helped win Bayern their first European Cup for 25 years.

Moreover, his performances in goal for Die Mannschaft at the 2002 World Cup finals in South Korea/Japan virtually dragged his country single-handedly to the final, where they lost to Brazil. Although Kahn made history when he became the first and only keeper to be named player of the tournament when he won the Golden Ball.

It was recently reported that the members of the FC Bayern München AG Supervisory Board unanimously resolved to appoint Oliver Kahn to the FC Bayern München AG Executive Board. The 50-year old former goalkeeper has signed a contract until 2025 to serve as a member of the board.

9. Fabien Barthez (Marseille, Monaco, & France)

Long before Manuel Neuer and other well-known goalkeepers, it was Fabien Barthez who revolutionized goalkeeping.

Fabien Alain Barthez, born 28 June 1971, was a French former footballer and racing driver who played as a goalkeeper.

Barthez played football in both France and England with Toulouse, Marseille, AS Monaco, Manchester United, Nantes, and France national team.

Barthez is probably the best goalkeeper that has ever evolved in the championship of France. From Marseille to Monaco, the international Frenchie has shined in football history.

But it was his Mancunian time that Barthez became one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He won the 98 World Cup with the Blues with an astonishing performance during the competition.

The 48-year old former goalkeeper possessed not just great shot-stopping ability but also brilliant footwork and amazing passing range.

Once he said to reporters, “Calling me a goalkeeper is not enough because I do like to be involved in the game as much as possible. I’m a player.”

Ferguson commented on him “Other goalkeepers would play safety first. Fabien had a wee bit more. He liked the excitement of taking care of the ball.

“I remember he kept telling me he was a better outfield player. He could play sometimes in Friday morning games before the Saturday game, in small-sided games. He had good feet.”

10. Dino Zoff (Juventus & Italy)

Dino Zoff was born on February 28, 1942, in Mariano del Friuli, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. In general, he played in 112 international matches for Italy from 1968 to 1983.

After winning the World Cup at the age of 40, he became the oldest captain, goalkeeper, and overall player ever to win the World Cup. He is also known as the oldest surviving captain following the death of Hilderaldo Bellini in 2014.

Although at 14 years old, he was considered too short to be a serious football prospect, Zoff had an imperious presence in goal in his career. Winning six Scudetti with the Bianconeri while also captaining the Azzurri to World Cup glory in Spain in 1982 at the age of 40 years, four months, and 13 days, he is the oldest player ever to win the tournament, while also becoming just the second-ever goalkeeper to lift the trophy.

Zoff still holds the incredible record of the most minutes in international football without conceding a goal, 1,142 minutes, set between 1972 and 1974.

Upon retirement in 1983, Zoff was recognized to be the greatest goalkeeper that the football world had ever seen.

11. Edwin Van Der Sar (Manchester United, Netherlands)

Edwin van der Sar was born on October 29, 1970, in Voorhout, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands. He started out his professional career with Ajax in 1990 and played for the giant Dutch club for nine years.

Van der Sar represented Ajax, Juventus, Fulham, and Manchester United in his career.

He won the Champions League with Ajax in 1995 and then United in 2008 when he was named man of the match, making him one of a select group of players to have won Europe’s premier club competition with two different clubs.

He also claimed the UEFA Cup and multiple league titles in the Netherlands and England, the last of which at Old Trafford in 2011 made Van der Sar the oldest-ever player to win the Premier League at 40 years and 205 days.

The goalkeeper who was perhaps the best ever with the ball at his feet with a vital skill in the modern game following the abolition of the back-pass rule also held the world record for a long period of time without conceding a league goal at 1,311 minutes during the 2008-09 season at United.

Van der Sar was a regular international for the Netherlands national team from 1995 to 2008. With his 130 caps to the national squad, he holds the record as the most capped player for his national team.

12. Sepp Maier (Bayern Munich & Germany)

Josef Dieter Sepp Maier, born on 28 February 1944, is a former German football player. He played for Bayern Munich and the German national team and is known as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time. Maier spent his entire professional career at Bayern Munich.

Maier was an integral part of the all-conquering Bayern Munich and West Germany teams of the 1970s. He was known as the ‘Die Katze von Anzing’ (the cat from Anzing) because of his outstanding agility and reflexes.

Maier won virtually all there is to offer in the game, including four Bundesliga crowns, three successive European Cups, the European Championship and the World Cup. Moreover, the three-times German Footballer of the Year still holds the Bundesliga record for having played the most number of consecutive matches (422).

13. Gordon Banks (Leicester City & England)

Gordon Banks born on 30 December 1937 was an English footballer who played for England national team. He is regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time. He also played for different clubs such as Chesterfield, Leicester City, and Stoke City.

In December 2015, it was announced he was receiving treatment for kidney cancer. Banks died on 12 February 2019 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire at 81.

Banks will always be remembered for making the historical save at the 1970 World Cup finals in Mexico when he somehow managed to push Pele’s close-range goal-bound header up and over the bar in what most experts still consider to be the greatest-ever save made in football history.

While Leicester City and England international may not have won the medals and trophies that some of his rivals did, he still played an integral role in his country winning their first and only World Cup on home soil in 1966. He conceded just two goals during the whole tournament.

In terms of goalkeeping skills, few could match his agility, reflexes, and pure shot-stopping capabilities.

14. Jorge Campos (Los Angeles Galaxy & Mexico)

Jorge Campos, born on 15 October 1966, is a former Mexican football player. He has played for Mexican national team.

Campos started his career as a striker; however, he left his job in the attacking zone after his debut season.

Despite being one of the shortest keepers of his era (5'8''), Campos' aerial game was strong, plus he was one of the first Mexican goalkeepers who knew how to play with his feet accurately.

Beyond his colorful kits, the Acapulco-born footballer made quite an impression in the 1994 and the 1998 World Cups. He won the 1999 Confederations Cup, the 1993 and the 1996 Gold Cups, and the 1999 Pan American Games.

He won the Citlali (Mexican Football Awards) as the best goalkeeper a record five times successively.

Moreover, the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFHHS) picked him as the third-best goalkeeper of 1993.

In the local league, he played for UNAM, Atlante, Cruz Azul, and Puebla. He was one of the first Mexicans to play in the MLS (LA Galaxy and Chicago Fire).

15. David Seaman (Arsenal, UK)

David Andrew Seaman, MBE, born on 19 September 1963, is an English former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. In a career lasting from 1981 to 2004, he is best known for his time playing for Arsenal.

Seaman was one of England’s best goalkeepers of all time and a crucial ingredient of Arsenal’s success under Arsene Wenger. He certainly enjoyed his peaks at the club level rather than in an England shirt, but the same can be said for virtually every player of that generation.

“He’s still the best goalkeeper in England,” said Wenger of 39-year-old Seaman in 2002.

“I’m very proud of him. He has shown again the calm, the authority and the responsibility on the pitch and that’s what you want from a super professional. It’s about showing how strong you are on the pitch and he’s done that again today and he has always done that since I was at Arsenal,” Wenger added.

Bristol 1s v Hertfordshire 1s

Last Wednesday saw a Wednesday Night Lights and the deciding game in the southern prem. With Cardiff Met winning their game a few hours earlier, Bristol needed to win or draw to remain in the top spot…#stress

The crowds were absolutely huge. Around 140 people showed up to Coombe Dingle – including club members, flatmates and of course Laura’s dad. There was also an online following via the insta livestream coming from all over the world, Jessie Robbo in Australia, Ellie Vaughan in France, Sazza Crookes in Spain and Alice Shiner in Truro.

The game was underway, and Hertfordshire had an early chance, but it was shoved aside by Amaia. Hertfordshire continued to threaten Bristol and managed to meg Ash (oops), but don’t fear, Chey was there to cover. There were fabulous clearances from Big Nance and Laura’s beautiful head. Bristol began to gain control of the game and were pushing relentlessly into Hertfordshire’s half. The first of around a million free kicks was taken by Anna, where she whipped it into the box, only for it to go out for a corner (BOO). It appeared that Liz had been taking skills tips from the infamous Helly Blyth as she managed a bicycle kick straight into her own face. (Don’t worry Liz; the fact that you hit the ball means you’re one up on Helly already.) Trim, obviously stunned by Liz’s amazing skills, decided that she should try her luck in goal, randomly switching places with Amaia before realising she is not the keeper and getting back into position to help clear the ball.

Laura ‘the bun’ Barrett was provided with an opportunity and all the time in the world. She played the ball at her feet for the majority of Bristol’s half before playing a brilliant ball up the field. In a sequence of events we cannot recall, Bristol lost the ball and then gave away a free kick (again, the first of many). Now in Bristol’s half, an unnamed player (Laura) slapped the ball with her silly hand, but fortunately the ref didn’t see it!!! Meanwhile, on the side lines, Helly proceeded to tell the entire chicken shed group and the online viewers about her disgusting lasagne that she cooked after a night out (???!!) – if I remember correctly it consisted of tomato puree, garlic and mushrooms and resembled water, but you’ll have to ask Helly for the intimate details and the recipe!!

Back to the pitch, and Chey is giving everyone a skill school lesson, getting round 4 Hertfordshire players. The beauty continued with a ball from Henna to the middle of the field, described as ‘sex on a plate’ by Jess M. Sounds nicer than Helly’s lasagne LOL bants. Henna continues the play with a long shot on goal which floats just wide. Back to the chicken shed, and the security decides to ruin the atmosphere by stealing the tinnies that the supporters were drinking so sophisticatedly and subtly – no thank you Coombe!!!

The great balls continued to fly up from the defensive back 4 of Ash, Trim, Phoebe and Laura, with the attackers receiving them and passing them up to the Hertfordshire goal with ultimate finesse. With a vast amount of chances and some lovely football, Bristol couldn’t seem to bag themselves a goal. In sheer anger of the lack of goals, it appears that Laura had decided that the supporters were to blame, booting the ball right into the viewing platform in the chicken side, scaring the heebeegeebees out of the crowd!!! BE CAREFUL LAURA

During all the trauma, Hertfordshire scored what can only be described as the worst goal in history – much like the ones in FIFA when it just rolls in without any power, precision or skill. With a goal under the oppositions belt, and the recent loss of our drinkies (RIP), Bristol were feeling a little deflated, but the support was ongoing nonetheless, with some of the shouting and noises resembling ‘squealing pigs.’ 0-1 Bristol.

Another long ball over the top and their unusually rapid striker (steroids??), plus the lack of time for Bristol to compose themselves, leads to another goal for Hertfordshire, 0-2 Bristol.

Despite the score, Bristol continued to push on, firing shots away and pushing the ball up. A lovely shot by Nancy, after her signature tip toe run up, was saved by the keeper and unfortunately Liz couldn’t make it in time! Liz’s series of unfortunate events continued with a header from a free kick that just couldn’t find the net!!

Hertfordshire pushed for another goal, but it just wasn’t going to happen with Amaia guarding the goal. The play switched and Bristol attacked once again. This time, it was Anna’s time to shine with a mesmerising and delicious shot which was ONLY JUST tipped over by the keeper!! Stop being so mean Hertfordshire… HT 0-2 Bristol

With the second half about to commence, and with India having worked out which way Bristol was shooting, Bristol were quick to dominate and push for every ball, no doubt spurred on by a motivational half time speech courtesy of Bill. Nancy’s cross/shot dropped just behind the goal leaving everyone on the edge of their seats. Frustration was beginning to set in for Henna and Phoebe who were obviously hungry because they absolutely sandwiched a poor Hertfordshire player. Did she deserve it? In the eyes of football Gods, yes.

Balls were flying in consistently, with one from Chey landing on the head of a Hertlessshire player, who nearly headed it into their own net, IF ONLY!! Stella and Anna continued to battle in the middle, chasing down balls and creating opportunities, only to be unluckily caught offside. The subs were getting ready, warming up and gyrating their hips. Striker, Liz, was replaced by Sophie, the super sub. GREAT GAME AMERICAN LIZ

With all the frustration mounting up, Bristol yet again, took out their anger on the supporters, smashing the ball, AS HARD AS LIGHTNING, into the chicken shed!! Junal, also known as the blind ref who went to India’s school #fwends , should have gone to Specsavers as he whipped out his big……..yellow card for our Henny Penny!!! WHAAAAAT??!?!?!??! (said in Liv Rae’s voice) A booking was not enough to stop Bristol from maintaining possession and the pressure on Hertlessshire. In, what has been reported to be her 4th free kick of the game, Stella kicked the ball with a kind of finesse the club has never seen before. It was almost in slow motion, as it sailed over the annoying defender, who didn’t understand that the wall could not be placed directly in front of the ball. It dipped at the right time and was so nearly a goal for Bristol that they so deserved. With tensions running high, Ash came off for some new legs, in the form of Niamh.

With time running out, Anna took it upon herself to blast the ball at the goal, the keeper caught it, but stumbled back, potentially crossing the line, yet it as denied as a goal!!! Absolutely criminal. (WE HAVE THE LIVE FOOTAGE IF YOU WOUD LIKE TO SEE IT JUNAL).

Bristol continued to fire off shots, with Sophie coming close to a goal. After running her socks off (check the lost property for those), Chey came off for Keira, who helped maintain pressure and create opportunities. Phoebe picked up the ball in Bristol’s half and strode down the wing, beating Hertlessshire players left, right and centre, then switching play and placing the box into the box in one foul swoop.

With the last 10 minutes underway, Hertlessshire were searching for ways to waste time. This came in the form of their number 4. I think we all know the one… Having already been booked by the ref for a horrific late tackle on our Henny Penny which caused Jess M to shout, ‘SEE YOU IN THE PARKING LOT’ (wrong continent babes), she clearly hadn’t learned her lesson, ‘heading’ the ball and proceeding to lie on the floor in ‘pain’ whilst ‘crying’ for approximately 2 minutes. After some harsh, but well deserved abuse, from the supporters, Junal grabbed Henna and brought her to chicken shed to reprimand the supporters for being rowdy and just having a giggle. He threatened us with an abandonment of the game. BOOOOO

The end was drawing nigh, but Bristol did not show any sign of giving up. All this came to a HEAD in the 92nd minute with a beautiful free kick from Stella, and a subsequent diving header from Henna, which sent the ball rocketing past the keeper and into the net. 1-2 Bristol. With the crowds in awe and screaming with joy, Bristol ran back to the centre, knowing there was only 40 seconds remaining for them to get another goal. After one last push, Junal blew his……whistle and with that the fight for the league title was sadly over. ☹ FT 1-2 Bristol

Despite the score and the 1s being understandably devastated, they have shown great ability and teamwork throughout the league, and after the promotion to the league only last year, they have so much to be proud of!! The team expressed their gratitude for the amazing support they received not only at the game, but throughout the season. We’d like to thank all of those who have supported the team and want to congratulate the 1s on their amazing performance. Their team spirits and passion for the club and the game are something to be admired. WELL DONE GIRLS, WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU <3 <3 <3 #rawr (I love you in dinosaur)

Squad: Amaia Emerson Phoebe Tate Emily Trim Laura Barrett Ash Guest Stella GM Henna Butcher Nancy Gilmartin Liz Robinson Cheyenne Denny Anna Cairns Niamh Carty Sophie Price Keira Madden Man of the match: Henny Penny (the one and only): for leading the team throughout the league and for showcasing her undeniable tekkers and passion. Also for her runs, headers, shots and for never giving up, mwah (xo) Dick of the day:Chicken shed fans: for nearly getting the game abandoned (we’re just passionate Junal!!)

Ian Bogost, who once made a claim that video games shouldn’t have a player character, once again spun his wheel of random thoughts that are supposed to make him sound like an intellectual. This time he argues games shouldn’t have stories.

Right of the start, he states his declaration of gaming medium’s inferiority.

Film, television, and literature all tell them better. So why are games still obsessed with narrative?

When it comes to some voices in the gaming medium, such declarations are obligatory. Without them, those poor souls couldn’t hope for fulfillment of their dream of being invited to parties of people from “better, more serious mediums”, to do blowjobs.

The first section of the article is about how it is impossible to recreate Star Trek’s Holodeck (kinda like it’s impossible to recreate many Star Trek’s ideas), then he states that environment storytelling, getting bits of story from elements in the environment, is one of possible shortcuts for it. Then he questions the following:

Is interaction with game’s environment a real interactivity?

Is providing bits of story to obtain from game’s environment a way of telling a story?

The first question is dumb and I don’t think I even have to answer it. The second one is dumb as well, but it also reveals Bogost’s ignorance that prevents him from writing about other mediums. Providing bits of story is telling a story, but each medium has different possible tools of narration at their disposal. Books have to use words (let’s put aside picture books), but describing what happened and quoting characters isn’t the only way for a book to tell its story. Stanisław Lew, a late Polish SF author, once put in his book an encyclopedia definition from him story’s setting - was providing it not a way of telling a story? A comicbook Watchmen also includes comics books and articles from its own setting, which are also a part of story. Movies also put in scenery details and elements (like also articles) that we can examine if we only stop the tape (comic books also do this).

How is it different from obtaining a hidden recording in some game’s location? In other mediums it is only simpler to obtain such bits, unless it is a single-frame detail in some movie.

Then Ian makes another declaration of gaming medium’s inferiority, saying that no game story is better than from other mediums. Because... they provide their stories in a different way, that’s the reason. Then he says games have a better goals than telling a story.

The next section of the article is retelling a story of 3d shooters, their limitations, their masculinity (games designed to provide the feeling of being a star of action movie are often masculine, shocking), and how it isn’t the Star Trek Holodeck. Yes, we get it, we can’t create Holodeck. Like we can’t build a spaceship the flies faster than light.

Anyway, the article cites Gone Home as a “breaking the mold of the first-person experience“. Because older first-person adventure games like the fucking Myst (first limited to jumping through nodes, and later allowing its players to walk freely through the environment) didn’t exist. Not for those demanding the medium to progress, after they bury behind every past progress they can’t credit themselves for participating in. “Model set by Gone Home”, my ass.

In the next section the author cities another first-person adventure game, and wonders why it has to be a video game and not a movie. I didn’t play the cited example, but I give a shot that only as a video game we can experience the search as a participant, not as a passive observer. If the the game posses a possible state of failure, bad ending or just temporal inability to progress, this impacts the experience of the story. If you wonder why impacting the experience of a story is important, then wonder why the chosen medium to tell the story wasn’t a constantly lisping moron that tells it in a way you can’t understand it at all.

Also, a remark about how good writing is uncommon among games. Because every movie is Citizen Kane and every book won Literature Nobel. Especially actions flicks and Harlequins.

Anyway, Ian acknowledges what games can do. But states that providing a way to participate in the story and interact with its setting, hoverer it wouldn’t be limited, isn’t a storytelling at all. Why the fuck not? Because books and movies don’t allow for this? Don’t expect to be provided with a definition of “story” or “storytelling”.

Anyway, Ian praises again Gone Home and another walking-simulator, saying that if you hate them that’s because you love first-person shooters. Because those games are as flawless as they are groundbreaking at creating a first person adventure games genre that never ever existed before.

In another section, which is about what mediums can do besides telling a story, it is claimed it was futile to hope for games to “share the stage with books, films, and television, let alone to unseat them“. I mean, being a much bigger industry means nothing.

But besides that, the final claim is that wile we can try to tell stories through games, it is more difficult to experience them this way than watching movies. Because it couldn’t be a point of a story to experience it with difficulties. Like in Nobody Has To Die, where you decide who has to die.

But okay, let’s drop stories. Games alow for other things too, one shooter was used by US Army for recruitment (so I heard), VR games allow to train medicine, plane or car simulators are used to learn more about operation such machines. We don’t talk that much about this, but we don’t talk as well about guidebooks and instructional movies.

There is also interaction with other players and competition, or even just overcoming challenges alone. This is also an aspect of games that cannot be overlooked.

But instead of noticing any of this, Ian tells us how Tetris teaches us about gravity, football is an interesting use of a ball and Texas Holdem is a variant of Poker. Only the Monopoly example is not bizarre or outright pathetic.

I get it, games can use known elements, be them objects, concepts or games, and present how to use them, or play on their concepts. But there is one question. No, two.

What makes is better, not just different, from games that tell their stories? And how a story hinders this, in a way that justifies abandoning the story? The title’s premise is that games are better without stories, but the article isn’t about it. It claims that games are inferior to books/movies in telling a story (opinion taken as a dogma) and says what games can do differently. Not better, just different - like the other mediums are to games.

Games are an unique medium that can tell a story in a unique way. Undertale is able to tell its story solely because it’s a game. Zero Escape series also depends on being a game, and its first game even used for its story the fact that it was created (first) for nDS.

Games also allow us to experience stories. You can watch a mystery film and see a detective solving the case, but in a mystery game you are the detective and are making choices that impact the investigation.

When as a participant you make a choice that impacts the story, even if you make this choice by clicking an option with your mouse cursor, you experience your decision and its consequences on another different level.

And is it a story, when you make choices?

Let me tell you a story.

A man walks through a street, and reaches a crossroad. He turns left, and finds a pocket watch.

Simple, but a story nonetheless. Let me tell you another story.

You walk trough a street, and reach a crossroad. From that point, you can go left or right. If you go left, you will find a pocket watch. But if you right, you will meet an older man looking for his pocket watch.

That, too, was a story.

Now, which medium can be used to tell this story, and what are the advantages of using said medium? Some stories are better to be told through video games.

So the regular season is “unofficially” over. We do have some games left (Army-Navy), but this weekend is all about conference championship games, and the top 4 teams in the CFP locking down their spots. Ohio State, LSU and Clemson can finish undefeated with wins. However LSU can directly affect who takes the #4 spot when the final playoff rankings come out this coming Sunday, 12/9. Why? Check out Scott & Logan’s hot takes to find out!

Incidentally, this will be our final column of the season. Thank you so much for your support in reading every week and keeping us on our toes. There will be a PODCAST in the coming weeks previewing the Bowl Schedule, including our Playoff picks, so stay tuned!

SCOTT: Buckeyes make a statement: The Big Ten has some of the best rushing defenses in the country, including Michigan. Those defenses’ Kryptonite however, has been J.K. Dobbins. He has completely shredded every defense in the Big 10 this year, and Saturday was no different. 211 yards and 4 TD later, Ohio State crushed their rivals 56-27 to conclude an undefeated regular season. Justin Fields threw for 302 yards and 4 TD, including throwing a TD pass one play after leaving the game with a twisted knee. Ohio State is ready, and they are clutching to #1 with all they have. Look out Wisconsin, you lost 38-7 to the Buckeyes earlier in the year. The Big 10 Title game Saturday…could be worse.

Dabo is tired of the bullshit: The defending National Champions concluded their undefeated regular season with a 38-3 thrashing of South Carolina in the Palmetto Battle. Trevor Lawrence had 295 yards passing and 3 TD, while Travis Etienne had a quiet 51 yards rushing, but he did have 2 TD. Dabo Swinney continues to bang the drum for his team, saying he’s tired of the committee coming up with excuses as to why Clemson’s the only “precarious” undefeated team. They face Virginia in the ACC Title game Saturday, and if I’m Bronco Mendenhall (who’s Cavaliers have had a great season) I’d be aware of what lies ahead in Charlotte. Clemson is just as deserving of being in the Top 3 as Ohio State and LSU. It’s not Clemson’s fault that the ACC is trash. The committee needs to stop doing this. It’s not these teams’ fault that conferences are down or are mediocre. Then dump the conferences and let teams just schedule whoever they want.

Should ND head to Miami?: There’s some rumblings that Notre Dame has an outside shot at a New Year’s Day bowl game. Their 10-2 season concluded with a 45-24 win over Stanford, another slow start game in the rain and muck in Palo Alto. So, are they good enough to go to the Orange Bowl? Right now projections have them going to Florida…but Orlando for the Camping World Bowl on December 28. I still think the program should look at deciding if Brian Kelly is the future head coach. The Georgia loss is forgivable, that ugly mess in Ann Arbor is not. Time will tell where they play, who they play and how they do in that final game.

Can a Pac-12 team make the CFP: Utah’s 45-15 win over Colorado sets up Friday night’s Pac-12 Championship game against Oregon, who won the Civil War 24-10 over Oregon State. Utah joins Baylor & Oklahoma as teams that are considered for the #4 spot if Georgia loses to LSU in the SEC Championship. Oregon losing to Arizona State is unforgivable in Eugene, because they could beat Utah. And they would have been in consideration. What a day Saturday is going to be.

Academies Update: Simply put, the Army-Navy game on December 15 will decide the Commander In Chief trophy.

LOGAN:

Egg Bowl Gets A “Wee” Out of Control: In the past few years the Egg Bowl has become what many have described as a “toxic” rivalry. Things between the fans, the schools, and the teams themselves have gotten a little out of control on social media and on the field. On Saturday things didn’t get much better. While most of the games the players were able to keep themselves in check, but with 4 seconds left the Rebels scored what would likely have been a game tying touchdown. Elijah Moore was the recipient of that touchdown and would then go on to celebrate that touchdown by pretending to pee like a dog (a callback to DK Metcalf doing the same two years ago). This would end up being a 15 yard penalty assessed on the extra point try. Luke Logan would miss that extra point due to the distance change and the Rebels lost the game by 1 point. This stupid selfish act not only lost the Rebels the game but cost head coach Matt Luke his job. For the Bulldogs, they are now bowl eligible for the 10th straight year and also likely saved coach Joe Moorehead’s job.

Iron Bowl End Alabama’s Streak: Alabama has been the symbol of dominance in college football for the past decade. This dominance has been proven by the fact that they have qualified for every College Football Playoff so far. They have also never been ranked lower than #6 in any CFP Ranking so far. With all their injuries and an earlier loss to LSU these streaks were in jeopardy. Traveling to play a stout Auburn defense was a difficult ask for the Tide without their starting QB. Auburn would go on to outduel Alabama, besting them 48-45, effectively knocking them out of the playoff for the first time ever.

Big 12 Championship Preview: Even though we knew the teams that qualified for the Big 12 Championship last week, both teams still had one game left to get some style points to impress the committee. Baylor traveled to Lawrence and hammered the Kansas Jayhawks 61-6, while Oklahoma dominated the second half of Bedlam against in state rival Oklahoma State 34-16. This is of course a rematch of a game that Baylor knows they let slip away, and a game Oklahoma showed great resilience in coming back. The winner of this game has a shot at the playoff but will likely need Oregon to win the PAC 12 and LSU to win the SEC, both of which could very likely happen.

SEC Championship Preview: Like with the game above, we’ve known the participants in this game for a multiple weeks now. This week was just again for style points. LSU welcomed Texas A&M, while Georgia traveled to Atlanta to take on in state rival Georgia Tech. They would outscore their opponents by the score of 102-14. LSU showed more moxie on defense than they had all season, which is good going into their biggest and most important game of the year. For Georgia, they were able to dominate on both sides of the ball but will lose key receiver George Pickens for the first half due to in game fight. Georgia will be the best defense LSU has faced all year by far, while LSU will be the best offense Georgia has seen as well. This will definitely be the game of the weekend and I for one can’t wait to see it

Minnesota’s Boat Gets Sunk in the Snow: Minnesota has been one of the huge surprises of the year. They not only came into this week 10-1 but had a chance to win their division and play in their first Big 10 Championship, which no one would have predicted at the beginning of the season. They would welcome Wisconsin in with the Big 10 West Division on the line. Wisconsin’s experience and Minnesota’s inexperience in this type of big game proved to be the difference as Wisconsin used Jonathan to run away with not only the Paul Bunyan’s Ace but a trip to the Big 10 title game as well. They will hope that their rematch with Ohio State goes better than the first, as the Badgers lost 38-7. As I see Wisconsin likely playing better, I believe the Buckeyes will still come away with the victory.

Here’s the updated Playoff Rankings:

IN THE PLAYOFF

1. Ohio State (12-0)

2. LSU (12-0)

3. Clemson (12-0)

4. Georgia (11-1)

OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

5. Utah (11-1)

6. Oklahoma (11-1)

7. Baylor (11-1)

Simple enough? Here’s the weekend’s conference championship schedule, which could throw the above list into total chaos.

FRIDAY: 8pm: #5 Utah vs. #13 Oregon (Pac-12 Championship, Santa Clara)

SATURDAY:

Noon: #7 Baylor vs. #6 Oklahoma (Big 12 Championship, Arlington)

Noon: Louisiana vs. #21 Appalachian State (Sun Belt Championship, Boone)

3:30pm: #20 Cincinnati vs. #17 Memphis (American Championship, Memphis)

4pm: #2 LSU vs. #4 Georgia (SEC Championship, Atlanta)

4pm: Hawai’i vs. #19 Boise State (Mountain West Championship, Boise)

7:30pm: #23 Virginia vs. #3 Clemson (ACC Championship, Charlotte)

8pm: #1 Ohio State vs. 8 Wisconsin (Big 10 Championship, Indianapolis)

#632 A tribute to a very special person who is turning 75 today ...Our very own Man of Steel..Titanium Star Radhakrishna Rao...:-)

Till 1992, we always thought that Radhakrishna Rao ( my dad) was born on 25-Dec-1943. Even dad had the feeling that this was his birth date as it was in all his records. My grandfather had a family book where DOB of all Boloorians were kept as record. We all of a sudden realized in 1992 that he was born on 29-Oct-1943. He was a Scorpion like mom. Mom was born on 31-Oct-1950. We saw it as 2 days difference between their birthdays. Dad had another jovial angle to describe it. He used to say mom was born 2 years after independence. He had a wicked sense of humor sometimes!!

Today that great man is turning 75 !! Time has flown too fast for this Bsc Maths rank holder, engineering student in prestigious IIsc , retired AGM of VISL (a subsidiary of SAIL) , stocks champion, “Can talk on any topic !!“ master, a thorough gentlemen , a self-proclaimed YOGA guru and sweet-loving guy. By sweet loving, I really meant sweets. He can’t live a day without eating a sweet which he totally adores !!. He might still manage to live without sweets but don’t think he can without yoga and stocks study. He has been investing in stocks since 1981 (if I am not wrong !! ) . He never shows his excitement or anger when stocks jump or dips !!. Probably his body language gives an indication. Just for the love of stocks, he learnt to use Microsoft XLS at the age of 60, tablet at the age of 72 , laptop at the age of 74 and even boasts a google finance account which he monitors through his mobile (bought a smart phone just for this !!). His past time always goes in calculating capital gains and analyzing what stocks or MF to buy !! . I am completely opposite to him. I do like finance but not to the extent this freak does !! (I do call him freak sometimes). Once newspaper comes in the morning, he detaches the sports edition and hands over to me. He calls me an Urdu sports freak sometimes!!! In all newspaper, sports edition is there in last few pages. I always read the newspaper from last page to first. So the name Urdu Sports freak !!

It’s impossible to list down moments with dad which I cherished as there are so many. One of the most memorable one was the day Seema won 2nd prize in Hindi debate (2nd in entire Karnataka) . He was so happy that day that his eyes was glowing. He was immensely proud. Each time Seema would win a competition ( I felt she was born talented. She would win most competitions, was a charm in plays and was always topper in studies. It was a deadly combo and I always felt she was a magician), dad looked very happy proud. Her multi talent is evident in her career too. She was a BSC Zoology student, worked in IMRB for IA Flying returns and now running a host of sessions on story telling very successfully. That’s as varied set of talent a human can get. Seema was always dad’s pet due to this rare talent. He would proudly tell about her deeds to his friends. I was a kid who was born other side of planet probably. I hardly won any events, was an above average student (thanks to mom for that!! ) and was a sports fanatic. I owe my passion for sports partly to dad’s interests as well. 2 instances was the real trigger for that.

1982 Asian games and 1983 world cup were 2 key calendar years for India. Dad had literally got TV imported from north India just to watch these events (at least I always felt that he bought TV for these events !! ). It looked like a magic box for me. None of our neighbors had TV . Even our rich landlord was watching our TV. How cool was that !! 1982 Asian games was held in India for the first time. It was a grand spectacle. Best was 1983 world cup which India won as underdogs. Host of dad’s cousins had come from native to watch the finals. Our house was small . TV was kept in hall. There was a huge window which was opened to allow neighbors to watch TV. Atleast 30-40 people watched the finals. Snacks would come from all the houses. I just can’t imagine watching a match like that in current generation. Crackers was burst across Bangalore when India won the finals. I was all but 6 by then. That day was the first instance which triggered the sports madness in me. Post that I got bat and ball from dad.

2nd instance which triggered another nerve of sports madness in me was when I first watched tennis. It was era of Martina and Mconroe. I hardly knew a thing about tennis. It was dad who taught me on how points worked in tennis. In mid 80s, only Wimbledon was telecasted in DD post SF matches. We used to wait for that weekend with eagerness. The first finals which I saw was Martina vs Evert. Martina won the match after losing her first set. It was her 6th Wimbledon title and 12th slam overall. In men’s tennis, a new 17 year old kid had made great stride to reach finals where he faced Kevin Curren. It was a tight 4 setter but Becker won in 4 sets. It was amazing to see him serve with so much power, dive around the net with ease and play with such soft and silk touch around the nets. He was named BOOM BOOM Becker after this win !! He was in all sports headlines that week.

If people blame me for being crazy for sports, dad had a great hand in that!! In mid 90s, when I started watching golf, he started staring me with a look “ Its game for retired people!!..Why are you watching it?? “ . Moving on, other than sports he has inspired me in a lot of other things. Money management, time management and health focus being key of them. I can’t recall a phase in his career when he had a tummy which is crazy. Half my life, I have stared at my tummy when I bend my head down !!! He never visited a gym but ensured he walks, jogs or does yoga throughout his life. He had slip disc when he was in mid-40s but that didn’t stop him from exercising. He couldn’t jog anymore. So he did loads of walking and yoga. He was so addicted to walking that he once walked at 330 AM in the morning thinking it is 530 AM. His alarm had rung 2 hours early. He reached home asking why sun was not rising !!. Mom gave him a stare and told that it was not even 430 AM !!

In Pre TV era, all he made us do was walking which we sorely miss in today’s life. After dinner, we would walk for 30 min , chat all along and then come back home and sleep. Gone are those days !! My son Shreyas can’t believe we lived such a life !! Another thing which I owe to dad is love for food. Irrespective of how the situation of his purse was, he ensured that he took us out for dinner in regular intervals. In mid 80s, when we were in Bhadravathi, a new restaurant had started which served North Indian food. It was first of its kind in the small town of Bhadravathi. We made regular visit there. Eating Manchurians, naan and various sabji was just a treat to my tummy. I have always been a fast eater. It helped me immensely when I visited hotel with my parents. Once I finished my share of food, dad and mom would some share of theirs too to my plate !!. The era of fast-eating-by-Mr-Sandeep has not stopped since then. I enjoy eating fast now and just can’t eat or drink anything slowly !! The secret behind that is revealed now !!.

Dad’s work ethics is 2nd to none. Since he has got retired, he virtually plans what work he needs to do each day. His usual work starts with a watch of NASDAQ stock numbers before 8 AM. That gives an idea of how Indian markets would fare. He would then walk along to Geojit office to get some analysis of some stocks. He does further study of that stocks fare over a period of time. Based on the analysis, he does day trading of few stocks here and there. It is not the amount of stocks sold or bought that counts but the process. One can do for 1 day or at the max for 50 days. But has done this for 90% of the days since 2001 (when he moved to Bangalore post retirement). That’s some discipline. If I am able to achieve even 50% of the discipline which he has, I would pat my back.

Even 7.5 years is not enough to write about “Man of Steel “ Dad. For now, I need to logically end this blog which is a tribute for his 75th birthday. Titan like Mr Radhakrishna Rao deserves a great Titanium anniversary. Hope this blog bring him an inch of happiness which would make my day. Having said that, mom is turning 69 two days later as well. A year later, another blog would be presented. For now, Happy Diwali and keep reading #BOLOORSPORTSMANIA like you have till now!! Cheers !!
