About Rabona Kick
Match pages, statistics and our own written analysis from twenty-five competitions, with English football at the centre.
What this site is for
Rabona Kick answers the questions people ask around a match: when it kicks off, who started, who was missing, what the numbers said once it was over and what any of that meant. We follow twenty-five competitions, from the Premier League and the Championship through Europe’s major leagues to international football, and every club that appears in them has a page of its own.
We do not try to beat the broadcasters to breaking news, and we are not trying to be the fastest place to find a scoreline. What we do instead is stay with a match after the final whistle, when most coverage has moved on, and say what actually happened in it.
Where the data comes from
Fixtures, results, line-ups, injuries and tables are compiled from licensed football data providers and from clubs’ and leagues’ own published information. Where a provider has not confirmed something — television coverage, for instance, or a line-up that has not been announced — the page says so rather than guessing.
What we write, and what we only point at
Two different things sit on the news page and we would rather you knew which is which. The headlines are a digest: they belong to the publications that reported them, they carry that publication’s name, and the link opens at their site. We do not hold those stories, reword them or present them as ours.
The analysis is ours. After a match finishes we write about it from the match data itself, which is the one thing we hold outright. Those pieces are drafted with the help of AI and then checked against the data: every figure and every name has to appear in the record, or the draft is discarded rather than published. Nobody sits between the check and the site, and our editorial policy says plainly what that does and does not catch.
Independence
This is an unofficial site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any club, league or competition, and club names are used only to identify the teams involved. We do not carry betting content, odds or bookmaker links.
Getting something wrong
We correct mistakes in the open rather than quietly editing them away. Every correction is recorded on the corrections page. If you think something here is wrong, tell us.
