Rather embarrassingly despite multiple IoW trips over the years to Ryde, Cowes etc have never done East Cowes Vics so finally put that right tonight as off work for visit of Totton & Eling to complete Wessex 1. #nonleague ##futbology

OTD 9yrs ago saw a teenage Alfie Rutherford score all 3 in a Bognor 3v0 victory at home to Grays. 2yrs ago saw a local derby between Westbury and Frome in front of a large crowd which was high on effort and enthusiasm but few chances. Westbury edged it with 2nd half goal. #nonleague #futbology

OTD saw very good Hayling win 5v0 away at Locks. Hamble Club win against B&L which I thought may send B&L down but they impressively turned it round to stay up. Also a forgettable 0v0 between USP v Fareham where they could still be playing now and likely no goals yet. #nonleague #futbology

21 years ago Stoney crossed for Yakubu! #Pompey Phillips very nearly ruined it at the end.

19yrs ago Pedro Mendes scored a couple of goals. Great escape surely not possible though...... #Pompey 2v1 Man City

1st game for over a month as been working abroad. Terrific performance against title favourites. To say everyone put a shift in would be an understatement. Superb. #Pompey 1v0 Leeds Ps please keep that up against Argyle on Wednesday!

OTD 92 saw #Pompey 1v0 Forest. Top atmosphere and result against a Forest side with Keane, Pearce & Sheringham among others. Macca got the goal, poking home a Crossley fumble. Shaggy was unplayable at times .

Probably gets overlooked to derby games, Spurs cup SF etc but 15yrs ago what a performance and atmosphere in a season where it was now clear we were in huge trouble both on and off the pitch. Freddie P getting both the goals. A great day! #Pompey

Petersfield Town v @crowboroughafc.bsky.social today in the SCL Premier. Not seen Petersfield since their switch from the Wessex last season. Crows a very good team I saw several times last season on their promotion push. #nonleague

#FAYouthCup 4th round at Ten Acres Eastleigh. AFC Bournemouth U18 v Norwich City U18

How times change, reckon we would only beat them 3v2 nowadays..... 😀 #Pompey

Surface at Privett Park excellent again especially given the large amounts of recent rain. Gosport Borough v Bracknell Town Southern Premier league South #nonleague

OTD 2011 saw #Pompey beaten 3v1 at the Withdean Stadium by Brighton in the FA cup 3rd round. Dave Kitson got an early red but doubt that would have made much difference as pretty sure we were terrible throughout anyway. Chris Wood & Ashley Barnes got 2 of the 3 Brighton goals that day. #futbology

AFC Portchester 2v1 Havant & Waterlooville Hampshire Senior Cup QF. Very young Hawks side took lead & played really well, but a near strength Portchy side proved too strong with 2 goals late on. Harsh on the youngsters but holders go through to SF. #nonleague

OTD 2yrs ago I along with everyone else got absolutely soaked in one of the few games to survive the weather. Two very good sides. NM painfully lost in the PO on pens end of season whilst ANS deservedly won title. New Milton Town 0v2 Andover New Street #futbology #nonleague

Could be a painful Sunday afternoon but🤞who knows? #Pompey would stay out of bottom 3 with win, point or defeat by only 1 goal. Sad already doing this in Jan and know have games in hand but all counts as likely to be very close end of season. #PlayUpPompey

One of the few grass pitches to survive the freeze. Hamble Club 0v2 AFC Portchester. Portchy better 1st half without creating much & penalty saved for harsh handball. Hamble started 2nd half well but Portchy got back on top scoring twice for comfortable win. @wessexleague.bsky.social #nonleague

OTD 2022 one of the final games at old Moneyfields Sports Ground (now 3g John Jenkins Stadium). Top local derby between 2 PO3 teams. Moneys 2up but Baffs turned it round for 3v2 win. Top entertainment in @wessexleague.bsky.social Premier division. #nonleague #futbology

From a #Pompey pov happy to see that #Boro goal go in but do feel a bit for #hullcity & especially their gk. Football can be really brutal sometimes as we all know.

A wet Nyewood Lane this afternoon for @isthmianleague.bsky.social Prem local derby between Bognor v Chichester City Big game for both but especially Bognor as they look to start the great escape. #nonleague

Don't think I'll get to anymore games now so my end of year statistics #futbology The 12v0 game was a 1sided Gosport v US Pompey in FA youth cup extra preliminary round. Best games seen as a neutral probably Totton v Salisbury & Three Bridges v Chichester in their respective PO finals.

OTD 2005 a rare NYE game. Saw #Pompey 1v0 Fulham at FP. Gary O'Neil got the only goal #futbology

OTD 2006 saw Big Sam managed Bolton 3v2 #Pompey 2009 saw 1v4 defeat to Arsenal 2016 saw 0v0 draw with Yeovil on a 🥶 day (if memory serves right we could be playing now & we still wouldn't have a goal) 2017 Pompey won 3v1 against Northampton, the hawk getting a brace. #futbology

OTD last year saw (in heavy 🌧) Guidford City 1v3 Farnham Town Farnham were down to 10 just before ht after poor tackle but still won comfortably. City's goal a late consolation. Farnham stayed unbeaten in league & would stay that way on their way to the title. #nonleague #futbology

OTD 17 years ago saw a disappointing #Pompey defeat at home to Middlesbrough. 9 years ago saw Alton 1v5 ANS. 6 years ago saw Fareham 2v1 Bashley. #nonleague #futbology

@wessexleague.bsky.social Premier Division Baffins Milton Rovers v Fareham Town #nonleague

OTD 98 #Pompey 2v2 Oxford. Nicky Banger got both for Oxford which went down well due to his previous club links. Steve Claridge got both for Pompey. 2002 saw superb Pompey display to beat Forest 2v1 at the City Ground. 2015 saw Pompey 0v0 Luton in an entertaining draw. #futbology

OTD saw an excellent Worthing side win 3v1 away at Bognor. #nonleague Also 2005 saw #Pompey lose a 1sided game 4v0 to Arsenal & 2years running to Chelsea (2003&2004) (never seemed to get anything from Chelsea) #futbology

OTD 2021 saw Gosport 1v3 Hartley Wintney. 2022 saw another excellent instalment in the rivalry Moneys 3v3 Portchy. Excellent game with some good goals, feisty moments, penalty for each and infront of a crowd of over 1k at step5. #nonleague #futbology

Havant v Gosport Southern Premier 1500ko Just the 1 game today & not usual BD DH (fancied SCL Prem Haywards Heath (2nd) v Hassocks (1st) but wimped out as nursing a cold 🤧)

BD ⚽️ is great. A few favourites of mine. 2006 West Ham 1v2 #Pompey Linvoy (my favourite ever player) got both. Great day/game/win. 2022 Loxwood 2v2 Alford a feisty SCL Prem derby. Those who have never been to Loxwood highly recommend it. A very special ground to watch ⚽️ at. #nonleague #futbology

Van Dijk - good CH but best ever hype OTT. Poor all 3goals y'day (1st turned back/jumped out way 2nd not tight/lost man & ball lifted easily over him 3rd easily beaten in box). Puyol/Ramos/Chiellini etc would have put body on line in same moments. Good CH but nowhere near the best ever discussion.

OTD 2023 saw another cracking instalment in the Moneys v Portchy rivalry. Moneys winning 4v2 in typically full blooded game & went on to win league. Portchy were 'away' side despite being played at Wicor as Moneys were still awaiting finish of their John Jenkins Stadium. #nonleague #futbology

OTD 2006 saw #Pompey beat newly promoted Sheffield United 3v1 at Fratton Park. #futbology

OTD 2023 some Friday night football (need more across the leagues if possible - its great!) Whitchurch 4v2 Andover Town. Andover now in Hampshire League step7. Unthinkable for club of their size & history a few years ago. Hopefully on their way back. #futbology #nonleague

OTD 2018 saw an inspired Ben Thompson & team performance in #Pompey 3v1 Sunderland. Unfortunately Sunderland would get even in the PO but no promotion for either that season. #futbology

The app has developed a bit since it was launched on this day 13 years ago... What are your favorite features?

Quick trip from Fratton Park to 2nd game of day in @wessexleague.bsky.social Fareham Town v US Portsmouth #nonleague

🎁 Merry Christmas! FT: #Pompey 4-1 Coventry 🔵🔵🔵🔵 Lang #PO4cast

OTD 2021 saw Totton 1v0 Bashley local derby. 2022 saw very young Eastleigh side win 1v0 against H&D in Hampshire Senior Cup. Sadly what was a prestigious trophy to win when is now seen by 'big' teams as a nuisance & academy teams regularly take the 1st team place. #futbology #nonleague

OTD 22&5 years ago saw #Pompey draw & beat Ipswich Town. 1v1 & 1v0 respectively. 21 years ago saw a pretty painful 3v0 defeat to #Saintsfc too 😔 #futbology

OTD 2014 saw Cheltenham 1v1 #Pompey ending run of five successive defeats. Nigel Antangana (still playing for Havant&Waterlooville in Southern Prem) got an excellent equaliser in the 2nd half (his 1st for the club). #futbology

OTD 2022 saw Fareham 2v0 Baffins Milton Res in Pompey Senior Cup. Fareham would reach the final at Fratton Park but sadly lose on penalties to Horndean after being 1up until inj time 😔 2023 saw a dominant Brock performance winning 6v0 against Fleetlands in the RCC. #nonleague #futbology

OTD 2014 in Bristol & watched Rovers 3v2 Gateshead. 2020 Hamworthy 7v0 B&L, season ended early due to C19 & Hamworthy not promoted (Lymington instead). Last year saw H&W 5v3 Fareham in Pompey Senior Cuo. Young Hawks side came from 3v1 down in game Fareham created plenty. #futbology #nonleague

OTD 2004 saw #Pompey 0v1 Arsenal. Sol Campbell got the winner but he was 'forgiven' for that a few years later 😃 2009 saw bottom of table Pompey 2v0 Liverpool in an excellent performance & victory. A nice distraction to the off field problems which were getting worse everyday. #futbology
