Big love to our opposition today - Duxford FC, who were far more pro-active first aiders than us and didn’t hesitate to help patch up our blood spattered troops. Thanks for the game gang x

Cup game today. Bare bones, only two men on the bench. Five minutes in, a truly Herculean clash of heads for Curtis & Joe. Bloodbath. Double claret. The full Terry Butcher, in stereo. Off to hospital they went, to be shortly followed by Lee with a broken collarbone. Incredible scenes. Lost 4-3. FUN💚

Have you ever been assured by a referee - with the game poised at 2-2 with mere minutes remaining - that the match would be going straight to penalties, only to then be told at the final whistle that no, actually, it’s extra time, go and run around some more. All good fun. Lost 3-2 in the end. 💚

IT’S CLARENDON CUP FIRST ROUND DAY Extremely grass roots start to proceedings here at Sandy Lane as - with the changing rooms inevitably locked - we get changed under a tree eight feet from the ring road

Loads of semi-naked men under a tree. They will attempt play football soon.

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)

We foresee no issues with using a van with no tow-bar to move an immobilised tractor from a damp football pitch but our opposition are insistent we try

To be fair we very seldom use the the middle of the pitch so maybe it won’t be a problem

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.

The referee has had to leave in a hurry at the final whistle because he’s off to see Coldplay. Despite this his decisions today have been nothing short of exemplary.

The final score is, in many ways, irrelevant. We do concede some cracking free-kicks though.

💚 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 🦡

A heavily-edited screengrab from the seminal computer game Championship Manager 1997-98. 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.
