Here's my blog match report from Saturday's @isthmianleague.bsky.social South Central game between @binfieldfc.com and @hanworthvilla.bsky.social played at Ascot. #NonLeague #grassroots wanderingtractor.uk/binfield-v-h...

Late decision to head to Ascot for the @binfieldfc.com v @hanworthvilla.bsky.social match as I rarely get the opportunity to catch up with Binfield. Couple of familiar names in the Villa line up too. Should be a good game. #NonLeague #grassroots

Just how many new gold/silver coins have been struck recently? Seems to be a new one advertised every week and with each one costing anywhere between £40-£100 it's not cheap obsession to have!

Decided to get away from TV watching and get back into reading. Looking forward to taking a journey through the history of the UK beginning with this from @marcmorris.bsky.social

Had to make a change to my planned fixture in mid March due to rail engineering works. Now looking at a choice of two replacements, Potters Bar v Welling United or Corinthian Casuals v Redhill which would both be new grounds for me. Decision to be made closer to the time.

Even at this stage of the year someone is going to have to pull off something remarkable to stop Matt Weston winning SPOTY. What a climax to the skeleton, edge of the seat stuff. Simply stunning, go GB!!!

Something’s brewing down the Fish! Keep your eyes peeled later tonight for news of a fantastic offer coming up soon, courtesy of the generosity of @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social and the wonderful Wimbledon Brewery

Had to turn off the sound for the snowboarding as Beavis & Butthead are commentating again.

Watching the Moguls in the #winterolympics and it's making my knees hurt just watching it!

Click the link below for this week's #blog & match report from my journey to @holyportfc.bsky.social for their Combined Counties Premier North relegation battle with British Airways. A good day out and once again met some great people from both clubs. wanderingtractor.uk/holyport-v-b... #nonleague

Must remember to put my fleece on under my coat for the football next week, to say it got a bit fresh in the second half would be an understatement! Think all my reasoning went out of the window this morning upon seeing that big yellow thing in the sky & need to remember it's still mid February. 🥶

Game on so today I'll be making a first visit to Summerleaze for the @holyportfc.bsky.social v British Airways match in the Combined Counties Premier North. Heard good things about the food there so looking forward to checking that out. Should be a fun day in the sun! #NonLeague #grassroots

Watching the Winter Olympics snowboarding and had to turn off the sound as the two commentators are just sooo annoying.

Looking at the #ITFC line up this evening I'm guessing the FA Cup isn't first on their priority list this season. We'll see.

Just heard Joe Dolce's follow up to Shaddup Your Face on Rewind's Bubblegum and Cheese Novelty Special and it's as bad as you'd imagine. Here's hoping it never reaches my ears again. 🙏

Less than two weeks until I can get my first senior railcard. Excited as it covers discounts for all of the UK and opens up many more #nonleague grounds to go to, but the realisation I'll officially be old takes some of the gloss off!

Great piece. One of my favourite football books and what a fantastic story. Nice to see a follow up 👍

Did I really just hear booing at full time in the Coventry game? Top of the championship and booing a draw? Mad.

Crikey!

How about an @isthmianleague.bsky.social double this weekend? 2:30pm Binfield vs @hendonfc.bsky.social 6:30pm @kingstonianfc.bsky.social vs Fareham Both games are being played at The Robert Parker Stadium, home of Ashford Town (Middx). Separate admission fees apply for the games.

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.

NEW POST 🗞️ We’re going right back to discover the ghosts of early football #history that you can still enjoy in Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This is the story of ‘The Three Hampdens’. With thanks to @footballheritage.bsky.social for his insights. Read on… 👇🏼 Have you been? open.substack.com/pub/outsidew...

As it's a bit brighter today I'll be sketching a dog for my first real attempt at #painting. I'll be ok with this part but still uneasy about colour after spending 40 odd years doing pencil drawing. Still, if it doesn't work out social media will never know about it! 😉 #art #portrait

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/8kmjpPj

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.

Love football. Hate FIFA
