28th March 2018 Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale v Tweedmouth 5-0


A late decision to go to this match although it is not far from my house. Left home at 19.00 and got to Saughton Park at 19.15 in time for the 19.30 kickoff. £5 for entry but no programmes or team sheets issued.
The game looked like it would be a mismatch. LTHV have won all their league games, as have league leaders Kelty Hearts. LTHV and Kelty have yet to meet in the League, although LTHV have won both times the sides have met in cup competitions. The upcoming league matches between the pair will decide who wins the league. By contrast Tweedmouth are bottom of the table with no points and a goal difference in excess of -100. LTHV beat Burntisland 13-0 earlier this season and would be looking for another big score tonight.

The first half as really good from a Tweedmouth viewpoint. LHTV had al the pressure but Twedmouth defended well. Their keeper was having a great game and one save in particular was really good. The LHTV striker brought the ball down a turned well but his shot was tipped around the post by the goalie. Halftime arrived at 0-0 and I think the Tweedmouth side were as surprised as I was. 

However with about five minutes gone in the second half LTHV went ahead with a goal from about twelve yards out. Without the benefit of a programme or team sheet I cannot describe the build up to the goals but have found from Twitter that the scorers were Liam O'Donnell, Louis Swanson, Keith Murray, Tony Muir, and substitute Sammy Nhamburo. None of the goals were spectacular in the build-up but the win keeps LTHV in line for promotion to the Lowland League depending on the results v Kelty Hearts. 

Left the ground on final whistle and caught a 22 bus home.

  I was not sure where to go today as I did not fancy going to Kilmarnock for the Hearts game. I final,y decided to head to Ainslie Park for Spartans SPFL match against. I walked to Tollcross to catch a 27 bus which was fine until we got to the Mound  where the police were stopping all traffic to allow a Gaza protest march to walk up the Mound and then done the High Street to the parliament building. After a fifteen minute delay the bus finally got moving again and I got off at Morrisons before walking down to the ground arriving at around 14.50. The cafe bare was just shut when I arrived so I took up a position against the fence at the bar end. Spartans were sitting in fourth place in SPFL League Two and were now guaranteed a sport in the end of season playoffs. There side was unchanged from last weeks win a Bonnyrigg. Under twenties players Josh Laing and Archie Wylie were included amongst the substitutes. Peterhead were now second in the league and also guaranteed a playoff spot. To

23rd March 2024 Musselburgh Athletic 1 Jeanfield Swifts 0

  We  are on Saturday in the international break and I not sure where  to go today as choice either Penicuik v Glenrothes or Musselburgh v  Jeanfield. Given Penicuik have been awful this season I decided to head to Musselburgh. I walked down to Haymarket around 13.00 and caught a 26 bus to Musselburgh. Arrived there about 14.15 and walked the short distance to the ground. Paid my £5 admission bought a £2 programme. After a wander around the ground I met Jim and we took about a stance at the cafe end against the fence. It looked like being a goood game today with Musselburgh second on the EoS Premier League and Jeanfield third. Broxburn are however twelve points cleated at the top of the league and look Tati be champions at the end of the season. Musselburgh have probably the best three strikers in the league with Nathan Evans, Jordan Smith and recent signing Nicky Reid. Evans was not include in todays starting eleven due to injury while Smith was on the bench replaced by Jonnny Court.

27th January. 2024. Hearts 2 Aberdeen 0

At last back to Tynecastle. After a spell of illness back to watch a home game for the first time since late November. I would have been back for the Dundee game on Tuesday but I fell out of bed overnight on Monday and was a mess of bruises so stayed at home. Today however I was feeling a lot better and left home to walk to Tynecastle. I arrived around 14.20 and scanned my season ticket for entry. Went to my seat in the Main Stand and it felt great to be back again. 2024 is 150 years since Hearts were founded and a special 150 year flag was raised on the pitch before the kickoff. The flag will be flown above the stand for the remainder of the year. The ceremony made me feel old as I remember being at the 100th anniversary match against Spurs in 1974. Steven Naismith starting lineup included both Dexter Lembikiska and Yutaro Oda who both came on as substitutes against Dundee and scored. Craig Halkett and Kenneth Vargas dropped to the bench to replace them Aberdeen under mamager Barry Ro
