They are of 3 World Cup winner's born in the area: Sir Geoff Hurst MBE and Jimmy Armfield CBE, who were with England in 1966, and Simone Perrotta who was born in Ashton but played for Italy in 2006. Apparently he only found out about it 7 years later lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Game 2 of 2 for me this weekend. Monza 0-2 Lazio. Not sure of the attendance but I’d guess between 10-15,000. Another good away following by Lazio, too. I can’t remember a more one sided game than this today. Lazio strolled up, they’re a top, top team. Monza being mid table doesn’t say much for the teams below them! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 2-1 KV Mechelen Sunday 19th March A bit late with uploading this, but I'm still catching up after coming home from my holiday. I visited this game in Brussels in the Belgian top flight. The last time I've been here, Union were in the third tier, now they're second in the top tier and in the quarter finals of the Europa League, some change there! It's a stunning stadium, the beautiful front is an official monument, which means it's protected and can't be demolished thankfully. There is terracing opposite the main stand, where the ultras are. The game started with a surprise early goal for the visitors. But after that the hosts didn't give anything away and ultimately deserved their win. A very good day out, definitely recommended if you're ever in Brussels. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broony88 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Off to Everton v Spurs tonight, first trip to Goodison and first EPL game for about 13 years. A lot at stake for both teams and glad to tick it off before Everton’s stadium move. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Aftermath of a Sunday League game: all went on beyond the traffic lights. Can only think the added extra time came when Pather celebrated their goals in front of their fans, injuries, the sending off,and subs. Pather were knackered the last 15+ and couldn't hold on.Thought the ref was poor throughout but for both teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forfarton Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Dunbar United 1 Kirkcaldy & Dysart 2 New Countess Park, 25/03/23 K&D scored within 2 minutes and dominated 1st half. Dunbar did have chances and hit the crossbar in each half. Referee was terrible throughout with his worst decision being a red card for a Dunbar player when he was the one fouled. Late consolation through a penalty and they tried hard to get an equaliser. Great wee ground with the added entertainment of frequentvtrains passing by. A superior experience to Meadowbank the night before. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool @ Stamford Bridge . The home side saw 2 goals disallowed by VAR as they failed to take their chances. Much changed Liverpool had chances too but continue to struggle to find any form. That’s 2 straight goalless draws I’ve seen I think I last did that in 2010 . Crowd around 41,000. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 West Calder United 1-6 Bo'ness Athletic I've said this before but the East Third is the best League in Scotland. Not in terms of quality, obviously, but the grounds, the fans, the cups of tea. It's all top notch. 6:15 kick off made it tight after work but we got here and we missed Bo'ness scoring after 20 seconds but still saw almost all of a brilliant game. West Calder would be right up the top of the league if Bo'ness and Armadale hadn't made promotion a non-event long ago. Cauther matched Scotland's top scorers for long periods but Athletic got more on top 2nd half and recorded yet another three points. Never a 6-1 game in its life, but that's what Bo'ness do. Hermand Park is simple but excellent. We'll worth a visit. Sam was here so you'll see it on YouTube soon if you're into that kind of thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Clydebank 0 Darvel 1 an excellent curler by Ferguson enough for the win. The Bankies seldom threatened, their approach play disjointed and in the air too much.Darvel more composed at times and should have had a couple more. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
