Oh I made sure to go there too … and gave far too much thought to pinching one of the old iron turnstiles that had been left/dumped outside.

Realise old-school Scottish football grounds aren’t everyone’s cup of tea … but I like to think I can win you over.

Nice little road trip this week (Celtic v Bayern) and some magnificent floodlight action courtesy of Greenock Morton, Kilmarnock, Queen of the South and various others 👌 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Lovely email waiting for me from Louis van Gaal this morning to follow up the @theathleticfc.bsky.social feature on Kath Phipps at the weekend ♥️

This is on the wall of the Forest ground (I’m assuming it’s the same Steve Cooper).

Either way, find it strange seeing his record mocked after the job he did for #NFFC - taking over a club that had spent 35 days bottom of the Championship - and his management CV before that too (1/2)

It was exactly the same with the Mark Sampson/Eni Aluko story by the way.

None of the people who should have been covering it wanted to go there for fear of damaging ‘the image’. Proper fingers-in-ears stuff 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nina Wilson - Maddy’s friend and team-mate - puts it better than me, anyway.

Great football weather. And a reminder that football peaked in the 1980s.
