Rab B Nesbit Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Trafford 2 Skelmersdale United 2 ... yesterday in the Unibond Northern Premier Division. Decent game and a good set up at Skewe Lane. Crowd 239. Didn’t get let out of Old Trafford until 5 to 3 so missed the first half hour but this an easy drive from there.

Was there no sign of KnightswoodBear at that one? Probably couldn't bring himself to go through those green turnstiles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Went to Chelsea v Palace on Saturday. Decent enough, Chelsea easily the better side though Palace showed a bit of grit 2nd half. Attendance 40,800. Sunday lunch time watched Hook Youth Whites 0 v 2 Barnes Eagles in the Surrey Youth League Under 15s. Attendance 18. A feisty affair where my mate`s son set up the clinching 2nd goal with a very neat bit of skill. Good play Matthew Edited March 12, 2018 by Distant Doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Was at Union Berlin v Aue yesterday; mental atmosphere as you almost expect at German games, but the match itself had little quality. A few tasty challenges & terrible misses, but little quality. 0-0. That's two league games in Germany and yet to see a goal. 'Sakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I was in Lisbon and ended up at Belenenses Vs Feirense. Belenenses are Lisbon's 3rd team, located in the Belem area and I have to confess that I'd never heard of them before - but I was intrigued to see what the standard was like outside of the big 3 in Portugal (and it was a very nice day weather wise ). And the answer was that the standard was heroically bad. I was expecting much slower football than we are used to but with a bit more of the skill - and I was half right as it was slow. It was two teams that were low in the table but even so, it was awful. The stadium was a really nice 25k seater - with around 2,500 rattling around inside - It made Rugby Park feel perfectly sized. I would guess it would be busy when Sporting or Benfica come calling but if that was a representative sample of a run of the mill game, then it was piss poor. It was 10Euro for a walk up ticket , so at least their dross is reasonably priced... The away support was about 50 Ultras who sang the whole game and were quite entertaining. It ended 1-0 to the home team - the goal was greeted with a half-hearted shout of "gol" and nobody stood up. Despite everything, I came away liking them as the supporters that I talked to were friendly (and genuinely bemused why anyone from abroad would come to see them) - and they came out with lots of stuff that would be familiar to a West of Scotland diddy team supporter. I was told "more fans leave Belem every week to watch the big 2 than watch the neighbourhood team" - I've heard that one before.....

I was in Lisbon with the missus last January (2017) and I must say we were spoiled for choice with the fixtures. Considered Belenenses but went to Belem for the tourist stuff and it was a bit of a trek so didn't fancy going back at night time. Also heard that somebody got refused entry there because he had a small camera. Went over on the ferry to Cova de Piede for a Saturday morning game v Benfica B, then met up with the missus for Benfica v Boavista. Didn't regret glory-hunting, fantastic stadium, great atmosphere as the Benfica fans kept it going, Benfica eagle in the stadium etc. Sunday, went to Orientale v Loures, a crumbling lower league ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go to the belenenses game that weekend,on the sunday night vs rio ave.huge ground for a tiny crowd(though the rio ave fans were full of noise),cost me £20 to get in!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really remember that. I missed most of the first half because I turned up at the official Club Orientale building down by the coast. The actual stadium is about a mile uphill. All because I had no roaming data on my phone. (Phone thread for this pish) It took ages to sort this and I was blaming BT all the time. It turned out Vodafone had left a profile buried in my settings and once I trashed this everything worked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlandcowden Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) regarding these recent posts,got to say I cant recommend Lisbon enough for a break with attached football-easy and cheap to get to from Scotland,cheap to transfer from airport and city,nice climate,great city and as for the footy-in season pretty much certain one of the big two will be at home,theres other teams nearby in the top 2 divisions and as the regionalised third division has an exclusively Lisbon division you wont be short on action.Think ill go back in the autumn/winter months Edited March 15, 2018 by highlandcowden 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going down for a stag do next weekend and looks like they are the closest team to where we're staying that are at home the Saturday. Considering going to see Edinburgh Uni vs Gala Fairydean this afternoon if I can be bothered as well. I went to watch my mate play against them when they played at Bury years ago and at a few away games but not been to their new ground. Looks well worth a visit though. Get to Edinburgh Uni just think about the cakes Edited March 17, 2018 by Rab B Nesbit -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
