> Glowing review
We’ve got our first review! Okay, it’s only on Amazon, but it’s lovely and will more than make up for the panning we are going to get in the media. Click here to read it.

> The First 90 Minutes
The guys at The First 90 Minutes website have just run a nice feature on the book, with a full review to follow soon. Check out the article here.
> Four stars from FourFourTwo
We’ve got a lovely warm glow from our review in this month’s 442 (page 50, if you’re a cheapskate flicking through a copy in WH Smiths). ‘Poignant’, ‘thought-provoking’, ‘laugh-out-loud’ are some of your actual words used in the review. Wow! Glad you enjoyed it.
Don’t worry, it won’t go to our heads. We’re still sitting in a darkened room, rocking nervously in anticipation of a critical mauling from When Saturday Comes. That’s us – eternal pessimists – be grateful you don’t have to live with us!

Our initial run of MFIR T-shirts have long been out of stock. Don’t despair, above you’ll find a selection of new T-shirts designs what have come straight from the creative side of our brains. Classic Modern Football is Rubbish stuff plus some exciting new designs...
> Kicking out the jams...
We always knew we were punk rock. Ever since we first Kicked Out the Jams with MC5, anti-establishment punk bile has spewed from our spleens.
Now, we are football punks, in every sense. The lovely people at Football Punk magazine liked our book almost as much as they like wearing tartan bondage trousers and stapling each others eyelids together.
Extracts from Modern Football is Rubbish will feature in the next few issues of Football Punk in the Retro section of the magazine.
So, brothers and sisters, it’s time for you to decide if you are gonna be the problem or the solution? It takes 5 seconds to buy a copy of Football Punk and it’s only £3. Are you ready to testify?
> Pole dancing...
We’ve gone global. Modern Football is Rubbish has been picked-up by Polish publisher, Sendsport and is going to be published soon. We are the first to admit – aside from memories of Boniek and Lato at Espana 82 – we don’t know much about Polish football, but we’re delighted that our book is being published in Poland. Maybe, we’ll get first dibs on tickets for Euro 2012?!
> Lithuania love us!
First Poland, now the Baltic states. We are BIG behind the Ol’ Iron Curtain. Perhaps our most comprehensive review has been published – in Lithuanian! Check it out here (with a little help from Google’s translation autobots).
