Tommy is startled and Emma is raging.

On Sunday it was time to visit the Alex Jack Cup final, one of the many non-League trophies in Scotland. Our neighbours Whitburn Juniors won it on a very sticky pitch. Real grass pitches in December 🥰

I went to Gala Fairydean Rovers Ams. v Hawick Legion last weekend, because it was played at The Greenyards. This is the home of Melrose Rugby, but they played away so Gala could hire the pitch. First time I've seen a football match here. Lovely town as well.

Ik ga er van uit dat je nu niet ineens opdaagt en kaarten afpakt van mensen die er meer recht op hebben?

Great. Looking forward to this 👍

Eindelijk alle 20 afleveringen van Radio Argentina geluisterd van @staantribunemedia.bsky.social met het ongeëvenaarde duo @doingthe116.bsky.social en @iateallthepies8.bsky.social. Wat een prachtige reeks was dat weer zeg! Dank voor de uren entertainment!

What a stadium. Sadly, I've never visited it.

I should have a different cat account. I counted, and I think I take at least 20 photos of them every day.

You seem to have some kind of micro climate. If I was a tree I would love to live in Greenock.

Joris van de Wier @doingthe116.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

I agree. So many great grounds. Sadly the new builds are mostly very boring, but grounds like Cappielow Park, Somerset Park and Palmerston Park are in my all time top 10.

I think the weather in the Highlands is normally better than in the Central Belt. Many times I left here in the rain to arrive in the sunshine there. But maybe I've been lucky. In Greenock it's the other way around. Almost always rain in your town when I'm there 🌧️

One of the best backdrops in Scotland.

My favourite league in Scotland is the Highland League. Why? See for yourself. Lovely grounds and some great towns.

En wij gaan niet voor hipstersmaken, maar gewoon dulche de leche en pistache.

I've luckily visited one 10 years ago. Don't see it happening anytime soon.

There seems to be no algorithm which is really nice. No news about celebrities I've never heard of, no ads, just things I like to follow. At the moment it's perfect.

Dat is wel tof 😀. De stad was niet heel bijzonder, maar wij hebben er echt heel goed gegeten.

Zag daar ooit een ADO-vlag hangen. Komt dat vanwege Juve?

I look a bit like a ned, so I blended in perfectly unlike in fancy Italian places. I was once in a press box and was the only one without a suit and sunglasses 😄

Joris van de Wier @doingthe116.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Me too. It's my favourite country on the mainland. I forgot to say that Foggia is also great. The city is a bit rough, but the ground and support are brilliant.

Joris van de Wier @doingthe116.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Maybe my favourite one in Italy is Avellino. Brilliant ground and great backdrop.

Joris van de Wier @doingthe116.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Avellino is brilliant (try to double up with Salernitana), so is Ternana. I loved Vicenza as well.

Joris van de Wier @doingthe116.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I love that one too. It's in my top 3 of Scottish grounds.

Joris van de Wier @doingthe116.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

What is your favourite Scottish ground? Mine, by some distance, is Cappielow Park of Greenock Morton. The old main stand, the terracing and the brilliant backdrop with the crane make it the perfect ground imo.

It's ridiculous. A bit like when all the clubs in the top league needed 10.000 seats.

Joris van de Wier @doingthe116.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Maar als City wint sta je vooraan.

Joris van de Wier @doingthe116.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I sadly never see that happening. Another cold day here ❄️

Joris van de Wier @doingthe116.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Maar die groepen met D-landen zijn echt geweldig. Ik vind wel dat er te veel interlandperiodes zijn.

Mede door de magazines van @staantribunemedia.bsky.social en de boeken 'Voetbalstad Buenos Aires' van @doingthe116.bsky.social kon ik mij goed voorbereiden op deze (voetbal)reis naar Argentinië 🇦🇷 De komende tijd zal ik het draadje verder vullen met de bezochte duels en andere bezienswaardigheden 🤝
