I like football, sometimes.

Tranmere fan, calcio fan, and occasional globetrotter. Most of my content is at the other place.
European Football Weekends, the extreme version

Nobody can beat Bayern in the Bundesliga because nobody wants to beat Bayern in the Bundesliga 🤷‍♂️

Tranmere have two free Saturdays in Nov/Dec.

If you're that way inclined, you could fly Stansted to Palma de Mallorca for £30 return, watch Mallorca vs Osasuna, and be back in Blighty a mere 13 hours after departing.

From the Bosphorus to Bosnia to Birkenhead.

The only thing that keeps me interested in Tranmere is the FA Cup, and the likelihood is that it could be short-lived.

We did beat Wycombe in 2019 when they were the highest-ranked club in the first round.

It's the hope that kills you.

It's not a very pleasant experience, but a must-do when in Mostar: The Genocide Museum, and Sniper Alley.

The city still bears the scars of a war that happened in our lifetime in mainland Europe.

Mostar, absolutely stunning.

These pictures don't do any justice to how fucking mental and intense Turkish football is.

Absolutely bonkers

Turkish football, completed it 😎

Besiktas
Fenerbahçe
Galatasaray (new)
Galatasaray (old)

Galatasaray in the Champions League?

Don't mind if I do...

UEFA Yourh League

Galatasaray vs Bodø Glimt

Even though it's free entry, they still make it hard work to get in, especially as they thought I was Norwegian. 😆

They can't comprehend a neutral coming.

Anyway, VIP seats 😎

Hard to believe there's a bigger derby in Istanbul than Eyupspor vs Kasimpasa.

Although the game has been switched to Kasimpasa's stadium, it's free entry for Eyupspor fans, but not Kasimpasa.

Kasimpasa is the club of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Fenerbahçe 2 Fatih Karagümrük 1

Goals from those players you thought "so that's where they are"

Talisca, who's whored himself in China and Saudi in recent years, and Marco Asensio with the home goals.

The visitors caused plenty of problems 2nd half despite being bottom.
October 19, 2025 at 9:05 PM
Besiktas 1 Gençlerbirliği 2

Besiktas threw that away with their substitutions.

Cengiz Ünder the standout player
October 18, 2025 at 6:44 PM
Every hoop jumped through, and I now have an actual ticket.

And this is the view from outside the stadium, you don't get that at the Hill Dickinson.

I'm ready, the Old Bill are ready, and even the local cats have to be black and white.

#Besiktas

Absolute fecking ballache getting tickets for the big three in Istanbul, but it's free to get in on Monday to see Yorkshire's finest.

😎

Shame it's being played at Kasimpasa's stadium
