Een van de oudste betonnen voetbaltribunes van het Europese vasteland. In 1904 speelden België en Frankrijk hier hun eerste officiële interland. 3-3. Twintig dagen later werd de FIFA opgericht. En de tribune? Die staat er nog. Ganzenvijverstadion, Ukkel (Brussel) #stadionautist #groundhopping

Good tight match, either side could have won it, once FC Community got their noses in front it was a very good performance to get the result over the line. Some pictures from the game...

Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

Not automatically blowing up every time a player goes down after ‘contact’, or when a player falls over and handles the ball to indicate he has been fouled. Not giving a penalty when the ball has been blasted off the pitch Why can’t the PL be fuckin refereed like this?

Garbage. They spend about 10 seconds having a quick glance and their mind is made up. Intent is nothing to do with it, but if it was the fact that he is only intending to foul Barry is a shit excuse. And they are not ‘involved in a duel’ www.skysports.com/football/vid...

If a Green candidate called for Jews to be melted down and used to fill pot holes, Keir Starmer would call a Cobra meeting and proscribe the Green Party, but a Reform candidate can say that about Nigerians and silence. This is what we mean when we say there is a racism hierarchy.

@fccommunity.bsky.social lost their cup match against Maghull FC Ladies on Sunday 2-3. It was a tight match which could have gone either way. Here's some pictures, with another set in a reply. As you can see the weather was changeable - I found quite challenging to get good photos

The Allerton Oak for #ThickTrunkTuesday. Thick indeed, it's girth is 18ft. Fenced in and propped up for support, but so would you be if you were over a thousand years old. #WeekOforOld #AlphabetChallenge Said to produce over 100,000 acorns per year, I can't vouch for that I haven't counted them
a close-ish view of a very old and gnarled oak tree - the main trunk splits quite low down and huge branches exit the edges of the frame. Metal struts are helpin hold it up.

I’m seeing this game differently to most toffees on here. I think deciding to play your best defenders and keep it tight away from home versus one of the slickest passing teams in the league is good tactics. And I can imagine us nicking the win.
