About The Site

So what is a Slide Rule Pass? Well, it is a precise pass in football (soccer), often a ball that cuts right through a defence with such precision that it could have been measured out with a slide rule.

There. If you found this site by googling for “slide rule pass” or “slide pass rule” because some pundit used it on tv, that should clear it up for you.

If you do decide to stick around, and you really should cos it would be rude to just hit-and-run like that, then you’ll also find that Slide Rule Pass is a site dedicated to covering the Portland Timbers, with a tendency towards the in-depth, analytical and downright angry.

The site was started in 2011 as a general football site before I realised that a) they were tons of them and b) they were better than mine, so in 2012 I refocussed the site on what I was truly passionate about – the Timbers. It is run by me, Kevin Alexander, so I am the one to blame.

I’ve been a fan of football all my life, specifically Kilmarnock (who may pop up here and there) and Portland Timbers.

I love lamp.
