Beyond Cow Corner: April 2011
http://beyondcowcorner.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Because why should those who actually play sport have all the fun of talking about it? A Tale of Two Rockets. Firstly, a declaration: I like snooker. I’ve never really been sure why I’m such a fan of a prissy and antiquated pseudo-sport on which heavy traces of the Edwardian drawing room lie heavy. Is it a mathematical attraction to patterns and angles? Perhaps. One reason may be that certain players throw up all sorts of mixed emotions that I don’t experience in watching other sportspeople. If he wants ...

Beyond Cow Corner: Girls and Boys
http://beyondcowcorner.blogspot.com/2012/08/girls-and-boys.html
Because why should those who actually play sport have all the fun of talking about it? In what will probably be my last post of the Olympics (will be spending this weekend at family celebrations, rather than fuming over the marginalisation of some group or other), I want to look at the most marginal of marginal figures. If you haven't read it, STOP READING THIS BLOGGING RUBBISH RIGHT NOW and go and get hold of a copy. Seriously.). Rooted in her race. As one final example, take a look at this. Article on ...

Beyond Cow Corner: February 2011
http://beyondcowcorner.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Because why should those who actually play sport have all the fun of talking about it? Putting Mr Creosote on a Diet. This weekend sees the start of that period in the cricketing year when the ICC seem to think that taking a tired and disillusioned format that has been superseded in the entertainment stakes by the upstart younger brother (Twenty20) and that has never had the prestige of the grandaddy of the game (Test) and producing a staggeringly bloated. Maybe England should be classed as minnows, too&...

Beyond Cow Corner: July 2011
http://beyondcowcorner.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Because why should those who actually play sport have all the fun of talking about it? I'm aware I've been somewhat remiss in keeping this blog updated, of late. This has mainly been due to pesky thesis-related stuff, but also my occasional presence here. At some point I'm going to work out how to consolidate the two, given that reconciling the sport-loving and academic sides of my character was rather the point of this blog. Des Lynam, circa. NB: 'Links golf', for those of you as in the dark about this ...

Beyond Cow Corner: And Now, The End Is Near
http://beyondcowcorner.blogspot.com/2012/08/and-now-end-is-near.html
Because why should those who actually play sport have all the fun of talking about it? And Now, The End Is Near. Over the past few days, I've been musing on age, the passing of the years, Time's wingèd chariot, and all that. But enough about missing deadlines and depressing conversations about years of birth; I'm talking about athletes on their (literal and metaphorical) last legs. In amongst the stellar performances from teenage wunderkinds. And the sharing of gold and silver men's 400m medals. I said t...

Back To Basics (Part II). Hey folks, I hope some of you found the tips in part one of my back to basics series useful, it doesn’t really need much introduction as it’s pretty much what it says on the tin … but here’s part two! Failing that … a piece of paper in your back pocket also works well. 7 Don’t over-do it! 8 Treat your feet …. 9 Fine gourmet awaits you ….

Beyond Cow Corner: November 2010

Because why should those who actually play sport have all the fun of talking about it? Things We Have Learnt from the Ashes So Far. Cook's place is probably not under threat:. An average of 310 in the 2010 Ashes to date will do wonders for a batsman's self-confidence. Trott is yet to play an Ashes test without making a hundred:. Ok, so it's a fairly small sample, but it's the sort of thing to get up the collective nose of an Ozzie attack. Speaking of which. Doherty and Johnson are no Warne and McGrath:.

Because why should those who actually play sport have all the fun of talking about it? Gender Trouble; or, Why Some Areas of International Sport Appear to Be a Bit Edwardian, Still. Marginality: 7/10 (I thought this topic was either incredibly marginal [up near 10], because the sidelining aspects of gender in sport are such troubling issues, or not at all, because these questions are so very mainstream. In the end, I wussed out and split the difference.). I know there's been criticism of Tom Daley since ...
