It has been pointed out that not a single player from either team is looking at the ball. You must understand though that the ball is of no interest to us.

💚Union Street 0-0 Bicester Town Colts 🔴 EXTRAORDINARY SCENES in today’s game as Union Street record their first goalless draw in 4897 days. Not much happened (as you can imagine) but a welcome first point of the season. Also, the oppo clubhouse has a telly that very possibly predates our last 0-0.

Back in the midsts of time, our matches were stalked by an enigmatic presence known as ‘The Man In The Dugout’ who, unbidden, would report on our games in a baffling variety of styles. Here’s an example: a 2017 clash against Portuguese foes ‘Lusitanos’ in the form of a 18th Century naval skirmish.

We don’t have an official mascot but today it was probably Nel who insisted on being a part of the huddle 💚

Hello again 💚 To celebrate us finding the login details for this account, here’s a picture of us at our happiest (sitting under a tree, in the shade, not playing football)

Several tired men in fantastic green and white striped football shirts, lounging under a tree on a hot, sunny day in Kassel, Germany. In the foreground a football sits resplendent, emblazoned with the words UNION STREET in pink sharpie.

Cup game today, so getting the post-match food in order for ourselves and our opponents. They say the first bite is with the eye.

Trees in the road as we make our way to today’s charity tournament in 50mph winds. We’ve been promised a cake stall. Thoughts and prayers to whoever’s putting the gazebo up.

These Ball Cars are getting ridiculous.

Possibly a slight delay to kick-off as the ground staff appear to have left a tractor in the middle of the pitch. Kind of wish we were joking.

💚 GAMEDAY 💚 Opening day. Bleary-eyed badgers, grudgingly waking from their summer hibernation, rise and sniff the air. A trip west(?) to play East(?) Oxford. Another season in Division 3 beckons, with all the Streety nonsense that entails. Love. Peace. Freedom. Team news to follow 💚

TOMORROW our season begins, and it's entirely possible we've gone overboard with the match graphics. JOIN US on our adventures as we dedicate ourselves to the overthrow of evil forces/avoiding relegation from the Oxfordshire Senior League Division Three. LOVE 💚 PEACE ☮️ FREEDOM 🕊️ UNION STREET 🦡

The background image shows Republic Of Ireland international John Aldridge flicking the V's at an unnamed FIFA official while mid-breakdown during a very hot football match at the 1994 World Cup. The overlaid text asks the player if they are wanting to manage Union Street, an extravagantly unsuccessful amateru football club based in Oxford.

A beautiful day 💚🧡 (the result, Union Street have unilaterally decided, wasn’t important)

Today’s friendly is with our pals at Oxford Phoenix. Phoenix are dedicated to creating a safe space for young refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, & USFC are proud to have helped support them on their journey to becoming one of the first refugee-based clubs to be admitted to the FA pyramid 💚🧡

Bloody hell that was hot Some classic pre-season nonsense from tonight’s fixture. One goal in the opening hour, seven in the last 30 minutes. A 5-3 defeat, two penalty saves and a worrying amount of minutes in our decrepit legs. ONWARDS 💚

14 incredibly tired footballers. Their kit is, if you’ll pardon the language, fucking mint.

💚 MATCH DAY 💚 We continue to pick listlessly at the smörgåsbord of our pre-season fixture list with an evening runabout against local types Wheatley FC. Our team is cobbled together, we have no goalkeeper, and best of all the ANTICIPATED TEMPERATURE AT KO IS THIRTY-TWO DEGREES CELCIUS.

If you’ve newly followed Union Street FC: hello and thanks! Here’s our new home kit. It is much, much nicer than the football we play 💚

A photo of the Union Street FC home shirt. It is green and white vertical stripes, similar to a late 90s Real Betis home shirt. The words ‘Love, Peace, Freedom are embroidered in the ‘v’ of the collar. A captain’s armband in Trans flag colours is lying on top of the shirt.

Hi Bluesky, we're Union Street FC - a ragtag amateur football team based in Oxford. Club motto: Love 💚 Peace ☮️ Freedom 🕊️ Values: good causes, fair play, supporting the refugee community and failing to defend corners. Currently scrapping it out in Oxfordshire Senior League Div 3. Come say hi x
