  • A Comparative Study of After-Match Reports on 'Lost'and 'Won'football
    International Journal of Applied Linguistics & English Literature ISSN 2200-3592 (Print), ISSN 2200-3452 (Online) Vol. 4 No. 1; January 2015 Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia A Comparative Study Of After-match Reports On ‘Lost’ And ‘Won’ Football Games Within The Framework Of Critical Discourse Analysis Biook Behnam Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Hasan Jahanban Isfahlan (Corresponding Author) Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Received: 09-07-2014 Accepted: 02-09-2014 Published: 01-01-2015 doi:10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 Abstract In spite of the obvious differences in research styles, all critical discourse analysts aim at exploring the role of discourse in the production and reproduction of power relations within social structures. Nowadays, after-match written reports are prepared immediately after every football match and provide the readers with the apparently objective representations of important events and occurrences of the game. The authors of this paper analyzed four after-match reports (retrieved from Manchester United’s own website), two regarding their lost games and two on their won games. Hodge and Kress’s (1996) framework was followed in the analysis of the grammatical features of the texts at hand. Also, taking into consideration the pivotal role of lexicalization as one dimension of the textualization process (Fairclough, 2012), vocabulary and more specifically the choice of specific verbs, nouns, adverbs and noun or noun phrase modification were examined.

  • Money Laundering in British Football
    Money laundering in British football Andrew Rosthorn Money stolen from the social fund of one of the poorest nations on earth was spent on transfer deals in British football. A share of the profit from the buying and selling of the brilliant Scottish midfielder Charlie Adam was wired to a Latvian brewery jointly owned by an international banker and the fugitive son of the deposed president of Kyrgyzstan.1 In September 2017 the English Football League disqualified banker Valeri Belokon for failing an Owners and Directors Test, four months after a court in Kyrgyzstan sentenced him in his absence to 20 years in prison for ‘money laundering, tax evasion and dishonesty’.2 1 ‘The Russian Laundromat and Blackpool Football Club’ in Lobster 73 at <https://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk/free/lobster73/lob73-russian-laundromat.pdf>. 2 ‘Valeri Belokon: Football League disqualifies former Blackpool director’ (28 September 2017) <https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41429743> The Paris Appeal Court of the French Republic had already annulled compensation for the nationalisation of his bank in Kyrgyzstan on the grounds that rewarding its ‘massive money laundering operations’ would ‘negate efforts undertaken to combat money laundering’ and 'violate international public order’. 3 The law on money laundering in the United Kingdom had been tightened by Part 7 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Sections 327 to 329 created three principal criminal offences: concealing, disguising, converting, transferring, removing criminal property from England and Wales acquiring, using, possessing criminal property entering into an arrangement that facilitates the acquisition, retention, use or control of criminal property on behalf of another person.4 Yet eight months after the Paris court found that Valeri Belokon was a money launderer, a high court judge in London ordered the banker to be compensated for his 2006 investment in Blackpool Football Club in a £34 million award in damages and costs.
