I wrote some blogs a few years ago on misunderstood aspects of the Battle of Messines. This one is about how many of the mine charges laid beneath the German lines were not used, the reasons, and where they remain to this day.

Myths of Messines: The ‘Lost Mines’
How was it that in 1955 a massive mine charge blew up in a Belgian field? When nineteen mines were detonated along a six mile front at the opening of the Battle of Messines on 7 June 1917, six more…

So depressing to see how those that lead and govern a sport I love just sink lower and lower. And shame on the FA to go along with that.

You Have To Take Chances: Wrexham 1-0 Imps
There are some nights where we lose, and we deserve to lose. I can live with those, honestly, I can. Then, there are nights like tonight. Nights where I am proud of the team's performance in 95% of the game, but feel so incredibly let down by the 5% that involves putting the ball in the net. I'm not criticising individuals here, but everything we did, bar the final action, was good tonight.
