FA Cup: Finally Here
We’re celebrating the FA Cup Final by delving into the competitions history and giving more than a passing nod to Saturday’s match. Invested comedians Kevin Day (Crystal Palace fan) takes on Justin Moorhouse (Manchester United supporter) in a bid to persuade as many neutrals as possible that it’s their team they should be rooting for! If You Manage the Team, You Have to Visit! Be careful who you choose when starting your next Football Manager game. We meet the man who feels the need to make an 8,000 kilometre journey to footballing outposts to visit the clubs he picks on his computer game… From Macclesfield to Yeovil. No Honour In Killings We meet two former members of the Swedish national taekwondo team. Arkan Asaad and Alán Ali, two Iraqi-born Kurdish Swedes, have transitioned from competing in taekwondo to empowering young people. Both are now heading awareness-raising campaigns about how honour culture affects girls and women. STRIKE! Should ten-pin bowling be an Olympic discipline? If it were, Britain would be favourites for gold because the current world tour champion is Dominic Barrett from Essex. He makes the case for ten-pin bowling’s Olympic admission. EU Referendum We see if football fans are willing to talk about politics as well as penalties as the EU referendum draws nearer. Could football fans have a unified voice in the future of Britain’s role in Europe? Sporting Witness… goes back to May 1990, a huge riot broke out at a football match between Red Star Belgrade and Dinamo Zagreb. The violence between rival Serbian and Croatian fans highlighted nationalist tensions in Yugoslavia which would explode into war less than a year later.
