I really hope this book by @hernebooks.bsky.social sells well in the run up to the festive period. We need more people, especially young people, engaging with the women's game. On a personal note, happy to have contributed to the Aberdeen pages of the book.

This is very good. We do need a sensible Conservative Party, but it's hard to see where they are going to find a sensible leader from their current crop.

Better tonight. On to Sunday.

K Park for Motherwell v Aberdeen in the SWPL.

Altrincham v Forest Green Rovers at Moss Lane (or the J Davidson Stadium as it's apparently known now). A grand old non-league ground. #266

I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed... I've only been using the untappd app for five years.

Why did the palindrome cross the road? To get a map a mate got. #palindrome

A selection of Estonian windmills. And a well.

HJK v ABB Fomget at the Bolt Arena. It's considerably warmer than it was the last time we were in this stadium...

€7 for a decent beer in Helsinki. I'm counting that as a triumph...

Great band. Saw them at the ABC back in the day...

No more peak rail fares from Monday! 🟢Pressure from Greens, Trade Unions and commuters has delivered real change for people and planet.

Larkhall Thistle v Bellshill Athletic at Gasworks Park. #263

At Seven Acres Park tonight for Letham v Broughty Athletic. No photos, it's basically an astro in a cage. #262 Three Midlands League grounds to go.

Great little piece of research on the lost Quoiting grounds of Scotland blog.historicenvironment.scot/2025/08/quoi...

Cowdenbeath Central v Newburgh at Venters Park #261

Benburb v Whitletts Victoria at New Tinto Park #260

This would be hilarious if it were not for the fact that I actually can imagine my local Labour MP saying stuff like this...

Hutchie Vale v Glenrothes at Saughton. It's blowing a hoolie. #259

It's really frustrating to have to rely on third party sources to hear Aberdeen Women news - both here and on Facebook. Any chance of a Women's prescence across more social channels @afc.co.uk?

A majority in Europe and Britain now reject the idea that the atomic bombings of Japan were morally justified to prevent more deaths. Find out more on why these dreadful acts weren't necessary to end the war in our online exhibition: cnduk.org/hiroshima-an...

This is how all non-league clubs should do concessions.

The headliners at Roots and Branches Festival, Held by Trees. Not my bag, but they can play.

The penultimate band at Roots and Branches Festival were Nervous Passenger. They were fantastic - sounded like they'd never been away.

Fifth on at Roots and Branches Festival is Calum Ingram and his electric cello.

Fourth on at Roots and Branches Festival is Graeme Duffin with an eclectic mix of tunes.

Third on stage at Roots and Branches Festival are Barranquismo. Very groovy!

Second up at Roots and Branches is Goldfinch. Bonus points if you recognise the guy on electric guitar...

First on stage at Roots and Branches Festival are Kin. Electric guitar and a viola - strangely compelling!

Nail on the napper by the UN. Again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A trip to the Old Spotted Dog to see Clapton CFC v Dunstable Town This is my kind of place. #256

Half-time at Linlithgow Rose v Auchinleck Talbot and Sunday Bloody Sunday is on the pa system... on the 12th of July. Fair play, that's a decent song selection.

Another good couple of days for Aberdeen Women. Kerry Beattie is a big signing, brilliant to secure Maddie Finnie for another couple of years and great to keep Phoebe Murray.
