- Had a problem with my freeview losing channels over the last couple of weeks, they disappear, come back when you retune then disappear again, so last night I ordered a new indoor aerial. This morning it's working perfectly with more channels showing up than I've ever had. Sods law and all that. 🙄
- Ipswich Town deadline day incoming striker activity...
- Hoping Ipswich sign a striker today, we really need some help up front. You can't expect to finish in the top two if your top scorers are both wingers. Someone with the impact of Marcus Stewart when he signed from Huddersfield would be lovely! #ITFC
- Blimey, Watford looking for yet another head coach or manager. I thought Grazia was doing quite well too so something must smell bad behind the scenes for him to walk. Now looking for manager number 18 in 10 years. Whoever it is will at least know he'll only be there for up to 12 months. 😁
- I wasn't going to do any matchday blogs this season as I won't be going to many games but I enjoyed my day at Hungerford v Gosport Borough so much yesterday I thought, well why not! Here you go... wanderingtractor.uk/hungerford-t... #nonleague #grassroots
- Jesus H Christ...
- Hungerford Town 2 Gosport Borough 0 Conditions didn't help in a poor first half but improved in the second where Hungerford upset the form book by scoring twice in the first 20 minutes through Kyle Twose & Carter Bowdery and saw the game out from there. A good day out! #NonLeague #grassroots
- Here are my next few fixtures (weather permitting!) as I slowly step up the amount of walking & travelling I can do after being out of action for 7 months. Looking forward to visiting a few new local grounds before heading further afield, and trying out each club's matchday menus! 🙂
- Planning to go to Hungerford tomorrow but the current rain will likely put that in jeopardy. This will be my fourth attempt to get to Hungerford, two previous games postponed due to the weather and one by a rail strike. Back up game is @burnhamfc1878.bsky.social v Amersham if postponed. #nonleague
- Second game and it was Arsenal at a canter in a 6-0 win. Enjoyable day out. #womensfootball
- First game done of the FIFA World Club Cup, Corinthians beating NY Gotham 1-0 (slightly against run of play but took their chance. Next up it's Arsenal v AS Far in the second semi final. Oh and the Corinthians fans are mad but brilliant with it! #womensfootball

- One of my favourite Star Trek TNG episodes is on Sky Mix in half an hour. Starship Mine with an early Tuvok. Nice Sunday fayre to replace the football I'd planned to go to which has unsurprisingly been postponed.
- First big day out since my injury coming up on Wednesday when I head to the Gtech for the Women's FIFA World Club semi finals. Gotham v Corinthians Arsenal v ASFAR Been to Griffin Park many times but this will be my first visit to the Gtech. Should be a good day out! 👍 #womensfootball
- Really struggling to get back into the habit of going to the football at the moment. Foot still painful when walking and weather isn't helping. Think I might just bin everything off, do a few long distance weekends away for the rest of this season and kick off again in 26/27.
- Please just make it stop.

- Just been looking at the Eredivisie table after this weekends games and I'm not a betting man but I think PSV may have a chance of winning the title this year.
- A cracking game of football finished Ashridge Park Women 4 Caversham United Women 4. In a mirror image of the first half Caversham scored two quick goals to lead 4-2 before Ashridge again came back to grab a point. @cavershamunited.bsky.social #womensfootball #grassroots
- 2-2 at half time, Caversham raced into a 2-0 lead early on only for Ashridge to pull it back. Caversham again out of the blocks quickly in the second half and now lead 3-2. @cavershamunited.bsky.social
- After a gap of 239 days I'm finally back being able to watch local football. Here at Cantley Park to see Ashridge Park Women v Caversham United Women. This is the training run to see if my foot can stand up to more frequent games. 👍 @cavershamunited.bsky.social #womensfootball #grassroots
- Didn't want to go to the football today anyway! Windsor v Fisher postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Try again next week 🙄
- After a long spell out following an injury, my season finally kicks off today and it promises to be a cracker. Off to Stag Meadow to see the #FAVase 4th Round tie between Windsor & Eton and @fisherfc.bsky.social. Should be fun! #NonLeague #grassroots
- Here's a few #nonleague writers/fans/clubs I added to a starter pack soon after I joined. Some good people in here 👍 go.bsky.app/8kmjpPjat://did:plc:dwjy67eitz3fswxb4hdcy37x/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3mcifk6q55z2g
- Anyone have any #nonleague & #womensfootball starter packs? Just looking to expand the list of clubs and good accounts on here to follow after finally breaking from Twitter. Thanks!
- Finally made the break from the toxic bird app. It's a shame because I made some fantastic friends on there before it became all about far right politics, misogyny and abuse from faceless accounts. I still need to decide whether or not to continue #nonleague match report blogs next season or not. 🤷
- Really hope Klopp gets a new job soon because those Trivago ads are getting on my nerves now.

- Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist... 1980
- Season 25/26 finally begins for me soon after a long term recovery from injury. Not yet sure if I'll do the #blogs & match reports for the rest of this season and also have a decision to make in the summer for 26/27. Lots to mull over but it'll be good to be back on the sidelines. 🙂 #NonLeague
- I know American's love a sequel but the only one I want to see is Nuremburg 2.
