http://www.rossburton.info Ross Burton's blog o' fun. Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:40:44 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 32 teams, 64 matches, 144 goals, 260 yellow cards and a total attendance of 3,178,856; all of that, and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was eventually decided by one of the most fractious, ill-tempered and cynical finals in memory. After a tournament which started so slowly had burst into ... http://www.rossburton.info/the-netherlands-spain-and-hypocrasy/ WANTED: Someone to slap my upside the head next time I manage to go two whole months without updating this site.

As you can see, this hasn't happened. But NEVER FEAR! I am back, and have every intention of getting back to the ultra-important task of ffilling this corner of ... http://www.rossburton.info/oops/ Huzzah! The site is back up and working again! And with a spangly new design to boot! There's still a few things that I need to tweak with regards to the new site theme, but overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Obviously it would have been nice not to have ... http://www.rossburton.info/back-from-the-dead/
