McLaren agree to release Montoya!

I was quite dissapointed to hear today that Juan Pablo Montoya has been released by McLaren with immediate effect following his decision to quit for Nascar at the end of the season. The Colombian will be replaced by test driver Pedro de la Rosa for the rest of the present campaign.

I think this is quite sad as he was always a character in the paddock but unfortunately his race form for McLaren never quite lived to the expectations built up as a member of the Williams Formula 1 team!

Doctor Who: Doomsday

I personally thought this episode of Doctor Who was simply brilliant, I have written a short review but I don't want to say anymore in my blog in case this spoils the story for any of my readership!

The Daleks are back as the second series
draws to a close in this episode from show
supremo Russell T Davies.

Doctor Who's two most iconic monsters, The Daleks and The Cyberman, come face to face and battle one another for the first time.

As the two mighty armies wage war across the Earth, the human race finds itself caught in the middle of an epic battle.

But as an unstoppable terror emerges from beneath Torchwood Tower, the Doctor faces an even greater dilemma – does saving the world mean the death of Rose Tyler?

Tonight I went to my first Hull BCS meeting named Crime, War and Terrorism in Cyberspace!

When William Gibson coined the term Cyberspace it was followed by a rash of science fiction that explored how the banes of society, such as Crime, War and Terrorism will fill the Cyberworld. The most recent dark Cyberspace fiction was the Matrix series of movies. Many of us have some exposure to criminality on the Internet when we open our email, or browse internet auctions for bargains. Some of those bargains, are too good to be true!

The talk given by Brian Tompsett this evening at the University of Hull surveyed the incidents and mechanisms of crime of the Internet to illustrate the scope of the problem in reality, as compared to those imagined in fiction. It then examines how modern warfare and terrorism has also become a reality that is fought across the network of cyberspace. The talk contained material of interest to the technical and non-technical audience alike, and will hopefully acted as a catalyst for further awareness raising of the issues and discussions.

Hull City make a new signing!

Brentford defender Michael Turner is understood to have completed a £325,000 move to Hull City. It is reported that the 22-year-old passed a medical yesterday, and has now signed for City.

The 6'4" centre back would come in for Leon Cort, who City sold to Crystal Palace for £1.25million, leaving just Damien Delaney, Sam Collins and the injured Danny Coles as options for Phil Parkinson.

City have also revealed that Stuart Ayles has joined the club as Fitness Coordinator. He agreed terms on the 22nd June, just days after resigning at Colchester, and will start work next week.

Eriksson's reign ends in heartbreak!

Sven-Goran Eriksson's parting shot as England coach was a plea to look after Wayne Rooney's talent. In his final England news conference, Eriksson said Rooney's dismissal should not be blamed for England's World Cup quarter-final exit to Portugal.

Eriksson said: "Wayne Rooney is the golden boy of English football. Don't kill him because you will need him. "He's a fantastic player and he has his temperament, but you can't hold that against him."

England 1 - Ecuador 0

England did well to beat Ecuador in Stuttgart to progress to the quarter finals and will now face Portugal. The only goal in the match was scored by David Beckham in a free kick, unfortunately after I had just said how unispired his play was at present, especially from free kicks! It was almost as if he scored to prove me wrong! It was a superb kick and just popped in the goalpost as the Ecuadorian goal keeper dived to the edge of his goal but the ball just sneaked in the corner. It meant there was relief all over England, we will just have to see how long this relief will continue, as we play Luiz Felipe Scolari's Portugal next Saturday.

When David Beckham scored his goal he became the first England player to score at three World Cups but it took England nearly 60 minutes to get the goal. Beckham had not scored a goal for England for more than three years. Ecuador had a better start and could have gone in front early in the 12th minute when Carlos Tenorio's shot was deflected off Ashley Cole and then on to the cross bar after John Terry made a mistake. John Terry redeemed himself later on and was awarded man of the match by FIFA.

Frank Lampard had another struggler missing two good chances but England had done enough to get the win and they appear to have done it without picking up any injuries. On the whole the match wasn't really an entertainer and two England players were booked for time wasting but England fans won't mind because all that matters to them is that England have made it to the quarter finals where I have just learned they will take on Portugal in Gelsenkirchen on 1 July. Anyway, we made it through another stage in the world cup, all I will say is that they will have to improve their play if they want to progress further in the competition!

Doctor Who: Fear Her

This evening the Tardis landed in 2012, the Doctor showed Rose the London Olympics. But ordinary children are vanishing, seemingly into thin air, whilst a mother living in a seemingly ordinary British household is trying to hide her daughter's unnatural powers from the world. Can the Doctor defeat the evil nestled in the heart of London?

The thing that I was quite surprised to see is in the trailer after the return once again of the cybermen and maybe even the Daleks, so maybe they were not really destroyed, we shall just have to wait until the final two episodes of the new series to see!

I personally think if the cybermen came through from the alternate universe why can't the Daleks. As personally I though this episode was a bit mundane, in the grand scale of things. We need a good series conclusion like in parting of the ways from series 1. Hopefully the script writers will have a good two part series conclusion for us like they did in series one!
