Moments like today show exactly why visibility matters. LGBTQI+ fans shouldn’t have to shrink to make others feel comfortable.

Tonight our flag still flies and our community will continue to stand strong. Pride will always have a place at Our stadium and Our Club #COYS

Non-League Adventures: West Didsbury & Chorlton AFC
In the leafy south Manchester suburbs, a vibrant fan culture is thriving in the ninth tier of the English football pyramid. I took a trip to ‘West’ to check it out for myself.

It was not just a comment, it was an integral part of the winning design of the Meadows that it should provide an environment for playing football. In 1855. By the time Hearts and Hibs came on the scene, a whole generation had grown up with it. #EdinburghHomeOfFootball

@barcajim3.bsky.social I thought you'd be interested in the article and the book
Football, politics and the heart of Celtic FC. A look at the book "Jungle Days: Supporting Celtic in the 1980s" by John Wight, and the solidarity with the oppressed shown by Celtic FC throughout its history. This weekend's Morning Star column.

Thanks to @futbologyapp.bsky.social and the British Newspaper Archive, I've just discovered that @neilmay.bsky.social, our mate Brian and I were so close to winning a tenner in the Reading Evening Post in November 1989

Amongst today's @futbologyapp.bsky.social anniversaries is my only trip to Broomfield.
On a bitterly cold day, Hibs were poor, the only highlight was a snowball fight between fans and @cherylewan.bsky.social was so cold that she cried when we discovered that our bus had been moved further away

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥

Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

This week has been an antidote to power club football. Make do and mend teams, full of faulty parts giving their people a night or two of glorious delirium.
