Goalkeepers have it hard, harder than most sub-groups of athletes. Regardless of the context, if you let that ball slip in, you WILL get a bollocking from your whole team.

It was oddly comforting how on 6 December, not even the most pugnacious troll reared his twisted face. For once, Twitter seemed to unite gracefully. Until people discovered the account of the Westboro Baptist Church
You may remember in February this year we told you about Titus, the toddler capable of beating you at basketball. Titus is back with his third trick shot video, and apart from featuring cameos from Bradley Cooper and Channing Tatum, the video reaffirms once more that this tiny child is a better athlete than you.

These two tourists had no idea that Mandela had passed away just a few hours before they arrived at the Robben Island ferry terminal on Friday. The News24 reporter interviews them for quite some time, before discovering just how far they’ve been left in the dark.
I think the headline says it all. Some very talented people have taken clips from Nigella Lawson’s immense TV reel and they’ll spliced it up and added some extra spice. It’s very very funny. Watch it. HIGELLA – THE MOVIE..
This is like one of those bad dreams. A base jumper near Moab, Utah, fully collided with the cliff he’d just jumped off – and then had to face an age-long tumble to the ground.
Well this is terrifying. Strong crosswinds twice prevented this hefty Emirates Boeing 777 from landing at Birmingham Airport. Please note how close the plane came to landing before aborting. The flight was eventually diverted to Gatwick.
