Help Wanted: Spanish to English translator (again)
By: Paul |NOTE: It looks like I found a translator. If you’re still interested, you can still send an application and, if the person I have lined up falls through, I can have backups. I’ll be back with more info and hopefully a translation very soon!
As you may or may not know, I do not speak Castilian [...]
…crap
By: Paul |I really don’t know what to say- Athletic is out of the cup already. Shit.
I was able to turn on the game for the last 30 minutes or so- I had to reinstall Windows after a crash so spent time reinstalling TVU player and the required plug-ins to watch the match. I did get [...]
Athletic 1-Atlético 0: I’ll take that
By: Paul |Before yesterday, it had been over a month since Athletic won their last game. They started off strong, winning the first three matches of the season for the first time in a long time, the last of those being a 3-2 victory against Villareal (yes, it has been that long).
The game was played on what [...]
Rayo Vallecano 2-Athletic Club Bilbao 0: Lightning Strikes Twice in the Copa del Rey
By: Paul |Has poor form gotten to the heads of Athletic’s players??? I expected that, after a recent rut in the league, this would be the game that Los Leones would be able to pull through and build some pre-Halloween confidence. This should have been the game that the team went into, ready to prove themselves, and [...]
Gameday: Athletic @ Rayo Vallecano
By: Paul |Here is the place to leave your pre, during, and post-game thoughts about today’s match. It will be played at 3pm Eastern US time. I’ll get a chance to watch today, streams can be found at this location.
Today, Athletic will be in Madrid for their first match in this year’s Copa Del Rey. They’ll be [...]
A Win…Then Another Loss
By: Paul |Once again, I am a bit late posting about some of the latest action. As per usual, I have had schoolwork that has kept me away, but also I grabbed myself a new girlfriend, so I’ve been hanging out with her a lot. But hey, I’m unimportant- let’s get down to business!!
Three days ago, Athletic [...]
All The Latest
By: Paul |The international break is over! Because this latest international break was also during Roanoke College’s fall break, I took some time off from writing, but now I’m back in business.
The first news to report is the result of Athletic’s last game: a 2-1 loss to Sporting Gijon. Once again, I missed this game (I spent [...]
Athletic Offside on Twitter
By: Paul |So, I sold my soul and created a Twitter account for this blog. On there, I’ll be posting links to my blog posts as they’re written, links to other Athletic news (I will try to post as much of it as I can in English, as I know how difficult it can be for English-speaking [...]
An Open Letter to Opposition Fans (esp. Other Offside Writers)
By: Paul |Dear fans of other teams and especially Offside writers for Athletic’s opponents,
NEVER refer to Athletic Club Bilbao as “Bilbao”. You may have noticed me coming in commenting on posts by recent opponents saying this, but I decided to write this so everybody is aware that the team’s name is not Bilbao.
So what should we [...]
The Iker Muniain Show (Werder & Valladolid)
By: Paul |So, I realize I’m a bit late posting on the last matches that were played, but here’s a post on them.
As I’m sure (or, at least I’m strongly hoping) everybody is aware, Athletic played game two of the Europa League group stage away at Werder Bremen last Thursday. I was able to “watch” the game [...]
