Goalpostr

Football fans can now discuss tackles, tactics and transfers Twitter-style at this kicking site.
www.goalpostr.com adopts the micro-blogging format, but expands the maximum length of posts from 140 characters to 500.

It also lets you rate other members’ updates by awarding them ‘respect’, with the most interesting posts promoted on the homepage for everyone to read. Despite its gloomy black-and-blue design, the site looks good and works well.

I particularly like the ‘pundit of the month’ league table, the option to filter content by team and the ability to reply and link directly to posts. Now all Goalpostr needs is a few more users.
