SHEVA: 'Consistency will help now'
9/22/2005
MILAN - Andriy Shevchenko, author of the first goal against Lazio,
declared: 'I scored a nice goal, but also Bobo made a great move that
freed me up in the area. It was a delicate moment for us, in the
standings, we cannot afford to let Juventus get too far away ahead of
us. But, Milan have never been in a crisis. We only lost one match, we
must find consistency and some more wins in a row in order to build
confidence. Ancelotti? The important thing is that he believes in the
team and we believe in him. This group is united. The objectives are
always the same, we want to grow together. We are happy with this
victory, but we must be consistent. Last year started in the same way,
Milan didn't do well at the beginning of the season. Instead, this
year I have seen a good team on the field, even in Genoa. We were only
unlucky, but Milan are in good health.'

Is it me, or does baby Jordan bear a slight resemblance to Wayne Rooney? He looks like a feisty little thing.

SHEVA, KAKA' AND GILA FOR CHARITY 9/23/2005
MILAN - Andriy Shevchenko, Kakà and Alberto Gilardino posed today for a calendar that will benefit AIRC cancer research. The three Rossoneri will appear in the charity calendar along with Adriano, Barzagli, Buffon, Del Piero, Di Canio, Toni, Totti and Zanetti. The three original signed photographs will be available for auction on E-bay, with all proceeds going to AIRC cancer research.

That's a really neat idea. But what's Buffon going to pose in, a sling?

This should end all those Chelsea rumours for good:

Channel 4:

Andriy Shevchenko has hinted at a contract extension with Milan, while Juve could try to tempt Thierry Henry back to Turin.

“I will soon be called to the club headquarters to sign a new deal,” revealed the Ukrainian. “When they make that call, I really doubt I’ll reject it.”


Shevchenko has won the Scudetto, Champions League, Coppa Italia, European Supercup and Italian Supercup since joining the San Siro outfit in 1999-2000.


His current deal expires in 2009 and the reigning European Player of the Year looks set to follow in the footsteps of teammate Kaka, who recently extended his contract until 2010. Under Italian rules, that is the maximum extent of a legal bond.

If he signs then he will pretty much end his career with us

He is starting his media game again .. now Chelsea will come again linked.. and Milan will just rise his wages.. logic

PRESS SURVEY - SHEVCHENKO: 'Dear Altafini, coming to overtake you'
9/25/2005
MILAN - Andriy Shevchenko is just one goal off Josè Altafini's
150-record for Milan. The Ukrainian striker told La Gazzetta Sportiva:
'I am proud to be up in this gallery of champions. I will be pleased
to join Atlafini because it's always an honour to overtake a champion.
However, the important thing is that Milan win a lot of games in a
row. It doesn't matter who scores but that we don't concede anything
to Inter or Juve. We've been unlucky but it's not too late to get
back.'

Offside history

It is often assumed that the offside law is a recent addition to combat "goal scrounging" or "cherry picking", where attacking players hang around near the opposing goal in case the ball gets kicked upfield, but in fact it dates back to the early years of the game, and was much stricter in the past than it is today. A player was "off his side" if he was standing in front of the ball (compare with the current offside law in rugby—a game descended from the same roots), that is, between the ball and the opponent's goal. This was by no means universal —the original Sheffield F.C. rules had no offside, and players known as "kick throughs" were positioned permanently near the opponents' goal.

In 1848, HC Malden held a meeting at his Trinity College, Cambridge rooms, that addressed the problem. Representatives from Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrewsbury attended, each bringing their own set of rules. They sat down a little after 4pm and by five to midnight had drafted what is thought to be the first set of "Cambridge Rules". Malden is quoted as saying how "very satisfactorily they worked".

Unfortunately no copy of these 1848 rules exists today, but they are thought to have included laws governing throw-ins, goal-kicks, halfway line markings, re-starts, and the disallowing of holding and pushing. They even allowed for a string to be used as a cross bar.

Slowly, as these rules were tried, tested, written and re-written over the following years, a revised set of Cambridge Rules was drawn up in 1856. A copy of these rules, thought to be the oldest set still in existence, can be found in the Shrewsbury School library.

As football developed in the 1860s and 1870s, the offside law proved the biggest argument between the clubs. Sheffield got rid of the "kick throughs" by amending their laws so that one member of the defending side was required between a forward player and the opponent's goal; the Football Association also compromised slightly and adopted the Cambridge idea of three. Finally, Sheffield came into line with the F.A., and "three players" were the rule until 1925.

The change to "two players" rule led to an immediate increase in goal scoring. 4,700 goals were scored in 1848 Football League games in 1924/25. It rose to 6,373 goals (from the same number of games) in 1925/26.

In 1990 the law was amended to consider an attacker to be onside if level with the second last opponent. This change was part of a general movement by the game's authorities to make the rules more conducive to attacking football and help the game to flow more freely.
