<p>www.the72unite.co.uk support the movement by liking our facebook page www.facebook.com #the72unite @72unite football supporters fan action against the EPPP &#8211; new rulings on youth academies which will destroy lower league football info here: We &#8216;the 72 unite&#8217;, made up of fans from the Football League are angered by, and at a loss to explain, the news today that the proposed legislative changes to the existing academy systems have been voted in favour of. In the current financial climate with the divide between rich and poor widening on a daily basis, Modern Football continues to be an exaggerated version of the overall global picture. THE RICH CONTINUE TO GET RICHER, WHILE THE POOR SUFFER. Lower league football is dying, starved by Premier League greed and excess. Attendances are down, and clubs will soon cease to exist, unable to balance the books to survive let-alone compete with the elite. The lifeblood of Football League clubs are their successful academy systems, some of which have supported and sustained clubs for many years, producing local, homegrown talent representative of the area and fanbase. Today&#8217;s ruling cuts this essential lifeblood at the arteries and will signal the death knoll, the final nail in the coffin for the survival of Professional Football outside the Premier League. In response we are calling for action from EVERY FAN at EVERY MATCH on Saturday 29th October 2011 to UNITE, rise-up and fight for the very existence of their clubs. It&#8217;s NOW OR NEVER <b>&#8230;</b><br />

<p>Statement Boris Schlegelmilch: I am not 100% sure but I believe I was begotten in the night of the Le Mans 24 hours 1969, in a small mudded tent besides the track and its roaring machines, when my father took a short break from his race photographer deployment &#8211; because I was born exactly 9 months later. In my childhood I was fascinated by the pictures when my father came home from his journeys, anyway living in a large museum at home with its photostudio, props and antiquities. As I grew up I stamped countless slides and helped to set up car shootings in the studio, and the race virus picked my nose. After studying marketing, we planned my step into his footprints and had the idea to restore the enormous asset of the classical slide archive consisting of his Formula 1 and sports cars pictures. Together we started to scan and restore the images and archived them digitally, making them available to the numerous demanding fans and editors, presently with more than 120000 images online from then and now. When I think about it, there are so many good and horrible stories told within the photos, it is just stunning to browse through and again finding another yet undiscovered gem with a touching story behind it, filled with blood and joy, passion and fate&#8230; Peter Haubfleisch found some powerful images and fitted them together very sensually to accompaign his great chilling music! Thank you for watching and listening! Regards, Boris Schlegelmilch Individuals shown on the images <b>&#8230;</b><br />

I live in the Little Italy quarters, in Montreal, so when Italy won the <a href="http://www.fifa.com/">FIFA</a> Cup, at soccer (football, outside of North America), the place exploded with joy! Even though I&#8217;m not interested in this sport, hearing all the celebrations going on around me, I got out to take pictures. All that joy was somewhat contagious, even if I don&#8217;t really get how a game played by strangers so far away can generate this much interest&#8230;</p>
<p>On Jean-Talon street. Better not be in a hurry&#8230; More fans celebrating.</p>

<p>What the hell is wrong with people in this world. Baseball sucks anyway. LOS ANGELES &#8212; A savage beating by two men outside Dodger Stadium left a San Francisco Giants fan in a medically-induced coma as police on Saturday urged any witnesses to help identify the attackers. The assault after Thursday&#8217;s season opener between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the rival Giants left a 42-year-old paramedic from Santa Cruz in critical but stable condition. Police released composite sketches of the two suspects, who were wearing Dodgers clothing. More on the Dodgers For more news, notes and analysis of the Dodgers, check out Dodger Thoughts from Jon Weisman. Blog Detective Larry Burcher said security cameras had yielded nothing of great value, but investigators were confident there were many witnesses with valuable information. Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich offered a 000 reward for information leading to the arrests of the suspects. The two suspects cursed and taunted three men in Giants gear as thousands of fans left the stadium after the 2-1 Dodger victory, Detective TJ Moore said. The Giants fans ran and two got away, but the assailants caught up to one in the parking lot, struck him on the back of the head and as he fell, he hit his head on the asphalt, Moore said. Both attackers then kicked the victim, then ran, Moore said. They fled in a four-door sedan driven by a woman with a boy, Moore said. The victim&#8217;s friends returned and found him on the ground.

<p>Follow my YouTube video updates on Twitter. twitter.com Because It&#8217;s The Cup &#8211; The 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Starting April 11th &#8220;History Will Be Made&#8221; became history after last season&#8217;s Stanley Cup Playoffs. The two-year-old promotion that featured nostalgic moments of postseason glory was one of the most successful advertising campaigns in recent NHL history — especially from a digital perspective, thanks to hundreds of viral video tributes from fans. But it didn&#8217;t reach far enough, when the goal is to expand hockey&#8217;s playoff audience. &#8220;It was nothing short of spectacular. But if you weren&#8217;t kind of &#8216;in the know&#8217;, then it wasn&#8217;t the most welcoming entry point for someone at that time of year,&#8221; said Brian Jennings, executive VP of marketing for the NHL. &#8220;History was great, but the word &#8216;history&#8217; was limiting,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The word &#8216;because&#8217; gave us more room to move.&#8221; Earlier this season, the NHL welcomed &#8220;self-defined sports fans&#8221; that didn&#8217;t have negative impressions of hockey to focus groups in Los Angeles, Toronto and New York. The goal was to gauge their awareness of the League and the playoffs, and to determine what the right selling points were for a &#8220;casual&#8221; fan. Problem No. 1: &#8220;People had trouble listing a couple of guys on the Kings and the Rangers&#8221; when asked, according to Jennings. Which makes player-centric ads a tough sell. Problem No. 2: After all these years on NBC and VERSUS-turned-NBC Sports Network, these fans still weren&#8217;t sure where to find the <b>&#8230;</b></p>
