Sorry to trouble you.
I was wondering if you had any material or links to research on Volodymyr Yemets. I'm writing a book on the 80s USSR set up and I'm currently on a chapter about Minsk and Dnipro's title wins. Finding very little on Yemets. ☹️
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

Great part of the city too, Phibsborough.
Well I think so anyway. Maybe the locals would disagree. 😀

Unsure if this is a football or a parasite?!

Going by some of twitter, they believe there's a form of NFL-style scheduling. 😀

Absolutely hate the concept of the u23 teams.
As much as we can find fault in the monetary aspect of the English game, esp the top end of the PL, you cannot fault the structure and the strength of the pyramid.
Hopefully there will never be any avenue or appetite for B teams/u23 teams.

That stand behind the goal is one of my favourite up and down the country. Must be a great wee viewing point in the upper tier.

Stranraer is my “team” in Scotland.
Went on a local Rangers SC bus trip to Ibrox. Told the club guys to sell my ticket.
Left the ferry as a foot passenger and spent the day watching the mighty Stranraer.
Living it up in the social club. 😂
Jumped back on the bus when they returned from Glasgow.

My earliest memories of Scottish teams in Europe usually involved Aberdeen or Dundee United.

Unfortunately, that Roma side always reminds me of the unsavoury end to the semi final in 84. No doubt oul Jim had them well riled in the lead up but the scenes at the end aren't what you want to see.

That was my youth. Cricket wasn’t a massive sport in NI but having summers watching test cricket made me a fan for life.
