Much as I love poring over football coverage in a traditional Sunday newspaper, I'm growing increasingly frustrated with @theobserveruk.bsky.social & find myself today reading @theguardian.com favourites like @jonawils.bsky.social @sidlowe.bsky.social & @jacobsteinberg1.bsky.social online instead

𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒘𝒏. 💚 An incredible moment as Hibs legend Joelle Murray receives the Athletic Club One Club Woman Award in front of a packed San Mamés! 🥬

Buying Russian football pin badges at a Soviet memorabilia stall in Bukhara #Uzbekistan

Good luck to @thehibees.bsky.social from the Uzbek HSC - Bukhara Branch

FT: ten man Paxtakor hold on to win 2-.1. A great result for them

HT: Paxtakor Tashkent 2 Neftchi Fergana Entertaining game. 2 VAR interventions resulting in a red card and a penalty for Paxtakor

Hadn't previously heard of El Partido podcast, but based on this episode, I'll definitely be listening to more. @paulmcgarraghy.bsky.social & Nick interview @cmrlee.bsky.social from @outsidewrite.bsky.social on Fascism, Spanish Civil War & Football. Chris explains nuances & dispels some common myths

El Banderín 🚩 Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 www.worldofinteriors.com/story/el-ban...

Great discussion on the latest @liberopodcast.bsky.social episode. All the references you'd expect: W-M, pressing, Bielsa, Sacchi, Menotti etc. and some that you wouldn't: the decline of Faith, Nietzsche, Charles Darwin, "Pepism" compared to Peronism & the Ship of Theseus (aka Trigger's Broom)

The Dennis Morris exhibition at the Photographers’ Gallery is terrific. Some of the best pictures you’ll see of Bob Marley and the Sex Pistols in particular, and incredible series from 1970s Hackney and Southall. Free on Friday eves thephotographersgallery.org.uk/whats-on/den...

This is a fantastic episode of the @footballcliches.bsky.social quiz. This time Adam, @cdeccleshare.bsky.social & @davidcameronwalker.bsky.social take on a @liberopodcast.bsky.social team featuring @brewin.bsky.social, @jackpittbrooke.bsky.social & @jonawils.bsky.social

I might see a different Marv Ekpiteta play in green & white today. Marvin's brother Marvel has just signed for Cray Valley PM

Thoroughly enjoyed recording this with @outsidewrite.bsky.social! Give it a listen and hear about football’s significance throughout the 20th century in Spain including the age before #LaLiga. We discuss a wide range of stories, clubs, characters and the wider nuances of football and society. ⤵️

and fantastic to see the work of both @dannylast.bsky.social & @chewzo14.bsky.social featured in the World Atlas of Football Stadiums

I hope that @jonawils.bsky.social will understand if I need to move my @theblizzard.bsky.social collection to accommodate his latest tome on my bookshelves

My mother-in-law and father-in-law have great taste in football books. These arrived today, pre-ordered for my birthday last month.

Really recommend the Slovenia-based photo magazine Photo Curva to anyone with an interest in football culture and travel share.google/mw1wLfuYxd4l...

Auchinleck Talbot v Cumnock, arguably the fiercest rivalry in Scottish football, is the undoubted tie of the first round of the @scottishcup.bsky.social x.com/ScottishCup/...

I bet @steveod1967.bsky.social is a happy man this afternoon

25 games at the ground I partially own @oldspotteddog.bsky.social @claptoncfc.co.uk @futbologyapp.bsky.social

Thursday night was both epic and cruel. #GGTTH #HibsAway #LifewithHibs

Interesting episode of @liberopodcast.bsky.social with @brewin.bsky.social @tariqpanja.bsky.social & @migueldelaney.bsky.social discussing FFP, PSR and what venture capitalists and sovereign wealth funds have done to football, especially the Premier League

Just caught up with this episode of @outsidewrite.bsky.social where @cmrlee.bsky.social interviews @mattcoughlan.bsky.social about Matt's latest book "Groundhopper". It's worth listening to, whether you consider yourself one or not.

Has anyone checked that @www.scottishfootball.info is ok after this week's Scottish results in Europe?

and it's also a good day when there's a delivery from @thesefootballtimes.shop

It's always a good day when there's a delivery from @glorystudio.bsky.social

That's @hibstrust.bsky.social and @thehibees.bsky.social making me feel my age @hibernianretro.bsky.social

Having heard how eloquent and passionate @davidgoldblatt.bsky.social was last night on these topics in discussion with @philippeauclair.bsky.social at the @stanchionbooks.bsky.social event, I'd recommend checking out his discussion with @cmrlee.bsky.social for @outsidewrite.bsky.social when it drops

And at half-time @davidgoldblatt.bsky.social & @philippeauclair.bsky.social are definitely living up to expectations. @stanchionbooks.bsky.social

Looking forward to listening to @davidgoldblatt.bsky.social & @philippeauclair.bsky.social tomorrow night at the launch of David's latest book organised by @stanchionbooks.bsky.social at The Volley

Some highlights to mark my 2000 matches @futbologyapp.bsky.social milestone

I've enjoyed the work of @paulhayward.bsky.social, @rorysmith.bsky.social, Jessy Parker Humphreys, @georgesimms.bsky.social & @mrabutler.bsky.social in @theobserveruk.bsky.social Sports section since the relaunch but with the football season back in full swing, please sort out the "Full Time" page

An epic night tonight at Easter Road #GGTTH

If you see a better goal this season, let me know. #Hibernian #GGTTH 🪉

A historic night at Hayes Lane last night

8 seasons of @claptoncfc.co.uk This club belongs to you and me.

Interesting Tony Bloom interview by @paulhayward.bsky.social in today's @theobserveruk.bsky.social. Although I'm still trying to reconcile the "smartest guy in the room" buying a 29% stake in Hearts 🤣 observer.co.uk/news/sport/a...

Listen fair play. Nice to see @mrabutler.bsky.social credit @footballcliches.bsky.social in today's @theobserveruk.bsky.social for pointing out how apt it is that the Saipan movie about the bust-up between Roy Keane & Mick McCarthy will premiere at TIFF, the Toronto International Film Festival

A decent game at @oldspotteddog.bsky.social today, @claptoncfc.co.uk unlucky not to take something from the game

A touch of class from the Partizan fans in Belgrade last night, the day after @thehibees.bsky.social 150th anniversary

Another great result tonight for the famous Embra Hibees #GGTTH

5 of 5 So what? See how a simple fact becomes extraordinary, when it is looked at, from an unusual angle? Football is the best way I know, to integrate immigrant cultures into society whilst honouring your origins. Hibs aren’t a Club. They are a shining beacon in the Athens of the North.

Happy 150th Birthday to Hibernian Football Club, founded #onthisday 6 August 1875 ☘️ More on the historical significance of Hibs here 👇🏼 substack.com/profile/3401...

I hadn't previously considered what PAOK, Boca & Palmeiras et al, had in common with Hibs until @gedboy58.bsky.social pointed it out today

A great thread by @gedboy58.bsky.social on the origins of @thehibees.bsky.social

1 of 5 #scotsfoundedfootball Hibernian founded 1875. Interesting facts for football fans. A club founded in the Capital City for a group of immigrants - many of whom shared neither the language, the national religion or the same social class of the locals. And who were fleeing deliberate starvation.

Today is the 150th birthday of Hibernian Football Club, founded in Edinburgh on 6 August 1875. To mark the occasion I've been on the trail of Pat Cavanagh, one of the founders. Here's a thread about a man who literally left his mark on the city's streets.

Happy 150th birthday @thehibees.bsky.social

Over on Substack, I've posted a timeline of political football matches Football and politics shouldn't mix, some say, except they always have and always will... Have a read 👇🏼 open.substack.com/pub/outsidew...
