A symptom of the failure of society in general is that actors are having to provide social care for children.

Did you know that Rapa Nui (aka Easter Island), the remote island in the South Pacific, home of the Moai (giant heads), has a football team? They play their games at the Hanga Roa Stadium and their first official match was in the Chilean cup v Colo Colo in 2009.

Really enjoyed doing this and also listening to the other great collector interviews too.

My final shirt addition of 2024 is this match worn Filippo Bandinelli Spezia away shirt, worn in the 2-0 loss to Palermo on 01/12/24. Another great Kappa shirt for Spezia, and my second match worn shirt for Mr Bandinelli. Will hopefully complete the set in the new year.

Kitscene issue 3 is here and it will make for great Christmas reading. Not only because it is full of pages of kit goodness but also because I got to contribute to it!

Love it when you complete a set. And what a set.

The final of my 3 new match worn arrivals is this Slovenia away shirt worn by Erik Janža in the 1-0 Nations League away win v Kazakhstan on 13/10/24. Janža provided the assist for the winning goal from Jan Mlakar. The detailing in the fabric is once again lovely.

Dorling @dorling83.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

The second new match worn shirt arrival is this Villarreal home shirt, worn by Santi Comesaña in the 2-1 away win against Valladolid in La Liga on 26th October 2024. Santi has been one of my favourite players over several versions of Football Manager, delighted to grab one of his shirts.

First of 3 new match worn shirts. This one was worn by Nina Jakobsson in the Damallsvenskan match v Norrköping on 4th May 2024. AIK won 3-2. First Nike player issue shirt in my collection, really nice material. The yellow details on the black really pop, it's a fantastic shirt.

That's me home from my last ship for a while. Will be starting a new role in January, still in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, but in the recruitment team. Also: 4 matchworn, 1 squad signed and 4 other shirts have arrived while I've been away 🤣🤣 Photos to follow.

The scabbiest of scabs. Obviously we have our own problems with UK police, the Met in particular, however American police are another breed. Bought and paid for.

Everton 23/24 Away shirt, patched up with the nameset of Belgian international midfielder Justine Vanhaevermaet. A really nice retro style to this Hummel effort.

It's easy to laugh off stuff like this as American Republicans being loopy, or say stuff like 'they voted for it, they deserve it' but have no doubt, once poor Americans are riddled with diseases that were once eradicated, the world will be.

Bukayo Saka is really good at football you know.

Could just watch Declan Rice putting the ball on top of the keeper with every corner for 90 minutes to be honest.

Well I am shocked, shocked I tell you.

This is 100% it. Players are happy to compromise their religious beliefs except when it comes to other people. It is the very definition of selective outrage.

Dorling @dorling83.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Been working on something on my website for a while now, not the easiest thing to do when on a ship, but I'm very happy with how it all turned out, and if you're in any way inclined to take a look, or throw a like or share my way, I'd be eternally grateful! Cheers all!

I don't expect to see so many commentators earnestly suggesting that Arsenal would be better off with Emery than Arteta this weekend.

Dorling @dorling83.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

At least some of the West Ham fans might stay for the second half this time.

Dorling @dorling83.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Norwich and Arsenal have both scored 4 today. Today is a good day. Also yesterday I got offered a job I interviewed for earlier in the week so it's really going quite well overall.

This is the Unai Emery that conceded huge amounts of attacking threat to relegation fodder while managing Arsenal at the Emirates. I like him, I do, and I wish him well but I will never be of the opinion we'd be better off with him than Arteta.

A few pics from when my ship visited Tromso in 2022. A lovely place. I could happily spend more time there.

When he joined Arsenal and started to get into his groove I honestly never thought I'd see a better player. I loved watching him play so much.

Another evening on ship spent messing about making decals on Illustrator to emulate an obscure 90s touring car on Gran Turismo, this time from the 1998 Copa de las Naciones Super Turismo in Argentina.

Just spent an hour or so replicating a 1994 Italian Touring car on Gran Turismo. Was it worth it? Yes.

This evening's shirt is this matchworn Filippo Bandinelli Spezia 24/25 Home shirt. Not much to say other than talk about how sensational it is. I love it, one of my best purchases for sure.

I don't know how it's taken me so long to listen to this album as I'd heard bits and pieces of Caroline Polachek's work before, but let me tell you now this is bloody exquisite. Stumbled across her NPR Tiny Desk Concert & it is some of the finest vocal control I've ever seen. Fantastic.

South West Peninsula League Premier Division West action for me this afternoon. Wendron Utd taking on Bodmin at Underlane, and the visitors are down to 10 after a last man foul after 3 minutes.

Just when I thought I couldn't love Anna Kendrick any more, she goes and drops a banger like Woman of the Hour. A proper unsettling film and it demonstrates what I imagine a lot of women are faced with that many men fail to comprehend.

Have got back into a CM01/02 save, managing Bari on an updated database. Needed a draw on the final day of the 28/29 season to win Serie A for the first time. This was not a fun way to finish the season!

A screenshot of Championship Manager 01/02, showing Bari drawing 1-1 away at Monza with 2 goals in the 90th minute.

Just some of my photographs. This is all Sossusvlei in Namibia. The dunes that hide mountains beneath them, the moonscape from the balloon ride, the dried saltwater lake - amazing. The first pic is one of my faves of all time, an Oryx wandering the desert from above. I just love his shadow.
