1) Do you like quick goals? Good. Here’s Gavin Stokes of Maryhill FC scoring one of the quickest in football. It took just over two seconds for him to find the top corner. It’s probably quicker than this, as it doesn’t bounce. But Al Abed’s effort from seven years ago is still stiff and speedy competition.
2) Earl Wilson once said “a baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.” With that in mind, here are some are some of the more entertaining angry moments, along with players stealing fans nacho’s – “he didn’t dip it in the cheese though!”. It’s also a beautiful game, filled with improvisation and mischief.
3) Here’s a try for the ages, featuring Stormers wing Dillyn Leyds pulling off a no-look pass while sat down during their Super Rugby defeat of the Chiefs.
4) Some ice hockey filth. Conor Sheary receives a between-the-legs pass from his Pittsburgh Penguins team-mate Sidney Crosby to leave the New Jersey Devils defence dumbfounded. Crosby and Sheary have got previous, too.
5) When ally-oop passes go wrong and earn you three points.
6) Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored 100 goals in the Champions League. And here they all are, for your viewing pleasure. The creator of his most recent strike? Marco Asensio, who played a blinder last week in Real’s win over Leganes. It’s set to the Pixies, what’s not to like?
7) The 2017 World Snooker Championships start this week. Here are the best shots and the biggest flukes from last year’s tournament.
Highlights from last week’s blog
1) Not entirely sure what the All Blacks are helping to promote here, think it might be insurance. But it’s a compelling watch, as they smash their way around Tokyo.
2) BBC commentator Chick Young suggests that Brian Laudrup – winnner of Euro 92 with Denmark – and Basile Boli – 45 caps for France – aren’t good enough to play in Europe for Rangers, so Walter Smith tears him a new one on camera. Also features a cracking cameo from Archie Knox.
3) Colm Cooper – aka Gooch – has retired from inter-county Gaelic football at the age of 33 after a hugely successful career – four All-Ireland titles, four national league crowns and nine Munster championships. Here are some of his best bits.
4) Luis Silva loses the ball to Tim Parker in the MLS, so the Real Salt Lake man chucks a snowball at his conqueror. More of this please.
5) Fred Davis – at the grand old age of 65 – makes a century break at the 1979 World Championship, and then struggles to contain his glee.
