Roy Race 2007
Posted Feb 8th 2007, 12:31pm by Reiss Malone in isporty

He's back! The legendary hotshot comic book star Roy Of The Rovers has made a remarkable comeback, six years after his last magazine appearance in Match Of the Day magazine; Roy has been dusted down and will now be crossing the white line for fanzine Players Inc. In his prime, Race endured earthquakes, bombs and even had his leg chopped off in a helicopter crash. But you never heard dubious stories about him & Eddie Black doing inappropriate things with telephones or liaising with 200 year-old ladies of the night. The Daily Mirror's Nick Webster has written a hilarious account of how Race's diary might read if he was suddenly propelled back into a WAG infested Premier league 2007. Sample entry: "Raging hangover. Me and the lads were out till 3am celebrating my new Netto clothing contract." Go to The Mirror to read more about Roy's antics.
iSporty would like to hear about your own comic book heroes who you think should be getting a 2007 makeover.

Liverpool supremo's "Legacy of despair"
Posted Feb 8th 2007, 12:25pm by Reiss Malone in isporty

As if it wasn't bad enough for Liverpool fans to find out that their new owners are best pals with George W Bush, The Mirror today reports that Tom Hicks, one half of the dynamic duo who've bought the club, has been accused of dumping hundreds of UK workers without a penny when he folded circuit board makers, Viasystems. Ex-employees due up to £50,000 redundancy, got instead a statutory payment from the government of just 2p in the £1. Tom Ross, of the GMB Union said: "Hicks's former firm left a legacy of despair." Are you listening to this Peter Ridsdale?

Getting tricky for Ricky
Posted Feb 8th 2007, 12:18pm by Reiss Malone in isporty

More trouble for Ricky Hatton! As if it wasn't bad enough being labelled a "fat bottler" by Floyd Mayweather Jr and Junior Witter, now Lovemore N'dou (no, I've never heard of him either) is claiming that Hatton is also a liar, accusing Hatton of going back on his word to give him a shot at his IBF title in the summer. Come on girls, leave the poor guy alone.
iSporty would like your nominations for the person who you think has had more than his or her fair chare of criticism over the years. Could be a sportsperson in the public eye or someone on your local team.

Got any boos?
Posted Feb 8th 2007, 12:15pm by Reiss Malone in isporty

England 0 Spain 1: Well that was fun wasn't it? You know something's wrong when you start switching over at goal kicks for a quick glimpse of Dragon's Den. I did this with 20 minutes gone and didn't remember to turn back until it was nearly half time. Mind you, Dragon's Den was good. Did you see the Rasta fella with the Reggae Reggae sauce? So good they named it twice. Lovely chap, good luck to you, mate. England on the other hand were not so good they named them twice. In fact, the crowd could barely be bothered to boo. Steve McClaren? He's certainly got them playing hasn't he?
iSporty would like your nominations for the dullest, most anti-climactic sporting event ever, whether you were watching or playing.

Lower League Lovelies
Posted Feb 8th 2007, 11:28am by Reiss Malone in The Mags

FHM (Mar 07) takes a look at Amy Anderson, who is the other half of West Brom's centre back Curtis Davies. Amy says "I was actually a Spurs fan before I met him." Quite surprising that Davies didn't join Spurs in January then! Maybe a move will be done in the summer.

FHM Versus
Posted Feb 8th 2007, 11:03am by Reiss Malone in The Mags

FHM (Mar 07) took on the Ordinary Boys at archery in the latest edition. FHM managed to beat the boys 26-23 but are behind in the series 15-10. Preston was not happy with the result."I knew we'd lose this. I'm crap at sport, but we'd win rowing. We want a re-match this summer."

Base Jumping
Posted Feb 8th 2007, 10:05am by Daniel Collett in Sport of the Day

BASE jumping is a sport involving the use of a parachute to jump from fixed objects. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for the four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump:
* Building
* Antenna (an uninhabited tower such as an aerial mast)
* Span (a bridge, arch or dome)
* Earth (a cliff or other natural formation)
The acronym "BASE" was coined by film-maker Carl Boenish, who in 1978 filmed the first jumps from El Capitan to be made using ram-air parachutes and the freefall tracking technique, which effectively defined modern BASE jumping. BASE jumping is significantly more dangerous than similar sports such as skydiving from aircraft, and is currently regarded as a fringe extreme sport.
