Paul McShane has been playing for West Brom in the championship (2nd division) for the last couple of years after being released from the Man Utd youth academy. He is a center back and has done so well at West Brom that he already has a couple of Ireland caps and was just voted the West Broms fans' player of the season. The guy is one of the least graceful players you'll see, which is why I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED!
SHOWBOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!
what is flagrance?
 |
Fla´gran`cy . The condition or quality of being flagrant; atrocity; heinousness; enormity; excess. Flagrance is good! Once upon a time Barra and David decided that if we were to create our own fragrance, we would call it 'Flagrance'. The idea being that it would be flagrantly expensive and flagrantly nice smelling. Well, we don't know how to develop, manufacture, and market a fragrance, so we have made a blog instead. Deal with it! |

Calamity James
The only thing missing from the following video is some David "Calamity" James goalkeeping. Its hilarious footballing clips, and one of my favourite ever songs.
Apologies for the sausage!

Flagrant Dribbling
Barcelona's Argentinian player Lionel Messi has had a lot of hype surrounding him over the last 18 months. Even though hes still only 19, there has been lots of talk about how he is destined to be a great player, and how he could be the next Maradona. Infact, even Maradona himself made that claim.
In the last 12 months he's had a fair amount of injury problems, and I didn't hear much about him, he kinda disappeared off the radar. I figured that maybe he wasn't all that he had been cracked up to be, as happens a lot with football players. Then, last month, he was back in the news again after the brilliant game between real madrid and barcelona which finished 3-3 with Messi getting a hat-trick.
Last night Barcelona were playing Getafe in the Spanish domestic cup, and Messi scored a goal of such ridiculous flagrance that it has led to a bizarre number of Messi/Maradona comparisons being uploaded to youtube. Can you figure out why?
Maradona (vs England)
Messi (vs Getafe)
By the way, youtube sucks so much now! They remove so much content but it still appears in the search results, how retarded...

Fighting Footballers
Stevie G's tackle is quite horrendous! Also, Adrianos double punch (very start) is extremely flagrant and I love it. The very last punch in the video is just dirty and mean.

Football Compilations
Continuing on the theme of footballing flagrancy, here are a couple of football compilations I found. I decided to post them because they're a little bit different to the usual youtube fare. The first one is a compilation called "The Art of Defense", the second one is of brillaint teamwork goals. Check them out they are good, shame about the robbie williams music though.

Barra's the name and Upper class Flagrancy is the game. I'm an incurable romantic who is seeking any filthy whore. call me.
My name is David but most call me Armours. I'm an economics student in UCD so that may explain some of my more boring ramblings. I like football, computer games, and being a waste. oh, and my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
