February 1st: The Strange Corner of Blackburn Rovers Regular football never stops playing. Somewhere in the world, someone is engaged in some aspect of the beautiful game during each of the 86400 seconds that make up a 24-hour day. This might be anything from booting a ball against a wall with friends to sharing their expert analysis on social media or winning a high-profile match at the last minute.
Since no human can possibly keep up with everything that happens during a game, football is often made great by the small but fascinating moments, such as a fan’s alternate perspective on a penalty save, a three-second but incredibly telling exchange between two bitter rivals, or a thread on X that explains why N’Golo Kante is the nicest man in professional sports.
In order to address that issue, GIVEMESPORT developed our live blog, which offers the best social media features available along with the best football mini-stories from the previous day.
The Unusual Reaction of Fred to His Teammate Being Hit by a Bottle on February 9th “Fred’s reaction isn’t what you’d expect.”
Anderson Talisca scored his first Super Lig goal for Fenerbache at Alanyaspor earlier today and was hit by a water bottle thrown from the crowd.

After leaving the Saudi Pro League team Al-Nassr, Anderson Talisca scored his first goal for Fenerbahce. A plastic water bottle thrown from the crowd struck the Brazilian as he celebrated his goal against Alanyaspor next to the corner flag.
Normally, teammates would sympathise with this situation right away, but Fred, a former Manchester United midfielder, didn’t understand. Instead, the Brazil international grinned as he looked up to the stands and made a motion with his arms to encourage more noise. On social media, supporters were both perplexed and mildly amused. One commented, “Genuinely can’t stop laughing,” while another questioned, “What is he doing?”

New footage of the two clashing for West Ham United and Liverpool, respectively, has refuted James Collins’ assertion that his best-ever performance was against former Reds talisman Luis Suarez.
“I don’t know if anyone really remembers their best game, but that game stands out,” he added in reference to that particular day. I believe that Suarez was Suarez at the time, which is why it jumps out. At times, it is not playable. Since he was small, I wasn’t very interested in competing against him.
“I just decided I’m just going to steam into him every time he gets the ball,” he said, recalling a banner that said, “Luis Suarez could nutmeg a mermaid.” Bring him down, kick him, whatever. For ninety minutes, I basically kick the s*** out of Suarez.
“I wasn’t sent out. avoided receiving a yellow. [There are] images of his flinching as I steamed in. It’s also the greatest game I’ve ever played. I kicked him whenever he had the ball as a tactic.
The resulting video from the 2013 match between Collins and Suarez shows the latter enjoying a pleasant afternoon at Anfield, defeating the former most of the time and preventing any defenders from colliding with the striker.

In the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon, Bournemouth played up to the reputation of being the Premier League’s greatest entertainers, as many believe. The referee gave the Cherries a fantastic chance to grab the lead in the 23rd minute of their match against Everton in the fourth round.
Instead of using the traditional route, Antoine Semenyo put the ball on the spot, backed up a few paces, then spun around, ran forward, and slid it past Jordan Pickford before the goalie had a chance to set himself. The unconventional method astounded pundits, with one saying: “In 20 years working in football, I’ve never seen that.”
Dion Dublin, a former Premier League striker, later claimed that he had seen it on playgrounds as a child, but everyone found it refreshing when the Bournemouth talisman tried it out on a large platform.
