Saturday means one thing to millions of people............FOOTIE.
I spent today watching Oxford United Vs Chester City. I support neither team, I actually support one of Oxfords big rivals....Wycombe Wanderers.

We had 2 Excecutive boxes, a meal and free flowing bar for the day............sold!!!!!
The reason I was watching a local rival was due to us being the Match sponser for the day and celebrating a family birthday.
The game ended well for me, with Oxford losing 1-0. Unfortunately for everyone else in our box, the result wasn't very enjoyable.

Thanks for looking, have a good weekend.

Nice action shot. Very well capture! The details are also very good with the expression of there faces.
Cheers!

Hi Alan,

Surprised you are still alive or in one piece. LOL Don't say that to loud.
Excellent shot and well done on the composition. Flowing bar eh?
I guess you'll be gettin' over it for a few days.

Hi Alan,
It seems like action photo today. I just posted a action photo of a different sport. You've captured the action perfectly. The colors and light are beautiful and I like the shades on the grass of the two players and ball. Funny to see that the blue and white player is putting all attention on the opponent and not the ball.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Alan. Good sports action shot. Players sharp and just a bit of motion blur in the ball. We Like it. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Hi Alan,
This is a very nice action photo, the colors and sharpness are excellent and I like this composition with the action going on , the blur ball that show the movement,, and these superb expression of these 2 men. Very well done.

Hello. Nice capture. Good action shot. Excelent details. In the right moment... Well done. :O)

I'm a football fan, always have been, but when I watch football I tend to watch Liverpool FC. not because I dislike any of the smaller clubs or I'm a bandwagoneer but because they get the most coverage here in Canada and I just like most of the players on liverpool.

Great capture of movement you've got Alan, although the only drawback here is that the picture seems to be a bit dark.
Cheers

really nice capture, Good timing and focal detail. I might hve been tempted to raise the levels slightly to brighten it up, but thats very minor.
Great shot.

Hi Alan,

This is a superb freeze action sports photo, equal too, if not better than most newspaper sports shots. Nice composition, colour and detail. Exceptional timing with capturing the opposing players off the ground competing for the ball. The sun has also been kind to you in creating the interesting shadows beneath the players. I like this sport shot a lot.

Kindest regards
Wayne
