On Sunday it was time to visit the Alex Jack Cup final, one of the many non-League trophies in Scotland. Our neighbours Whitburn Juniors won it on a very sticky pitch. Real grass pitches in December πŸ₯°

I went to Gala Fairydean Rovers Ams. v Hawick Legion last weekend, because it was played at The Greenyards. This is the home of Melrose Rugby, but they played away so Gala could hire the pitch. First time I've seen a football match here. Lovely town as well.

Joris van de Wier – Voetbalstad Buenos Aires deel 2 Een jaar eerder las ik deel 1 (link). Leuk, omdat ik Buenos Aires tot een van mijn favoriete steden reken, omdat ik van reizen en voetbal hou, omdat Joris een sympathieke blogbroeder is. Dit jaar d…

Joris van de Wier - Voetbalstad Buenos Aires deel 2

@doingthe116.bsky.social over de mooiste voetbalstad op aarde, twee boeken is nog weinig.

Ik ga er van uit dat je nu niet ineens opdaagt en kaarten afpakt van mensen die er meer recht op hebben?

Eindelijk alle 20 afleveringen van Radio Argentina geluisterd van @staantribunemedia.bsky.social met het ongeΓ«venaarde duo @doingthe116.bsky.social en @iateallthepies8.bsky.social. Wat een prachtige reeks was dat weer zeg! Dank voor de uren entertainment!

What a stadium. Sadly, I've never visited it.

I should have a different cat account. I counted, and I think I take at least 20 photos of them every day.

Some more Highland League grounds.

You seem to have some kind of micro climate. If I was a tree I would love to live in Greenock.

I agree. So many great grounds. Sadly the new builds are mostly very boring, but grounds like Cappielow Park, Somerset Park and Palmerston Park are in my all time top 10.

I think the weather in the Highlands is normally better than in the Central Belt. Many times I left here in the rain to arrive in the sunshine there. But maybe I've been lucky. In Greenock it's the other way around. Almost always rain in your town when I'm there 🌧️

My favourite league in Scotland is the Highland League. Why? See for yourself. Lovely grounds and some great towns.
