David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 11/07/2026The mighty Black & Gold dished out a 5-0 ass-whupping to an outclassed Ashington at monsoon central this afternoon. Quality display all round. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Mates are in Oud Arsenaal, Antwerp. The buggers have kicked off with this worldie: 030 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 05/10/2025We were in Haarlem recently. These plaques embedded in the cobbles of a residential street commemorate the moment an entire family of Jews was deported to Nazi death camps, where they were murdered. It's not a great leap to see that this is a journey that fascist governments are already on. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Same old failings. Only really started to play when 2-0 down & then after Taylor-McKenzie's daft red card. Ben McCrystal was outstanding. If Blair Henderson is available, I hope the club snap him up because we definitely need better options up front. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 25/08/2025After spending a week here, we love Haarlem a lot. The sort of small city that gets you feeling comfortable very quickly. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Got beers from 3 out of 4 from these Canadian micros arriving tomorrow (no Burdock, an omission on my part). Looking forward to hearing what folk think of them. 020 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Lionel Blairs an all. Good to start off the season with a hard-fought 2-0 win over historic rivals Cowdenbeath. Defence was outstanding today. Two sharp finishes from Mbewe & Mair brought the points home. Lovely. 030 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Good to be back at Shielfield. Excellent game and a lot to be optimistic about. 010 0

David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Coming up - The Curfew summer beer festival 27th to 29th June. 20+ casks & 10+ kegs, plus a good selection of draught cider, over 2 bars. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Stellar cask lineup today. L-R: Five Points Railway Porter/Thornbridge Lord Marples/Abbeydale Through the Hopback Chinook/Kirkstall Dissolution. Plus a bretted pale & dry stout from Kernel on keg. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Now on, though the Two by Two has just been replaced by Left Handed Giant Twin Cities on keg. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Thrush anvil at Ford Moss this morning. 4 of these located in a 5 metre span. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 29/04/2025The town is looking pretty damn handsome on this soporific morning. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Fairly remarkable afternoon at Shielfield today. One nil down after 4 mins, then a 4 goal blitzkrieg from the Gers over the next 19 minutes. Gala's late winner cemented our place in the LL for another season. Great day, but next season needs to be several levels better. I'm optimistic. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Not at the races today. Powderpuff up top. Antell can only do so much. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Bit of a slugfest. Created the best chances in today's 0-0. That might end up a crucial point. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Any fossil experts out there know what this is (largest fossil in middle)? 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Decent 1st half marred by 2 defensive howlers. Second half pretty flat but v happy with Alfie's late headed equaliser. Next time, maybe the LL could provide Lino's with a basic understanding of offside. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 05/02/2025First visit to Gateshead's legendary Microbus on Monday's staff day out. Liked it a lot, though beer of the day was a keg Beak IPA in Lady Greys. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Ouseburn tour on The Curfew staff day out. The superb Tyne Bar. 010 0
David Cook @cookcdj.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Abysmal. Only way we'll get another point this season is if the opposition forget to turn up. 010 0
