Alright, some quality news this morning. The sample strip I had ordered arrived, very promptly I might add. I’m absolutely delighted with the result, Ian at soccerdirectfc.co.uk has done a brilliant job on touching up the badge and the sponsor for me for no extra charge. So here’s the grand unveiling.

Update 23/2/2009
Alright guys, some major steps forward today. Firstly during a massively entertaining 19th Century Literature and Culture lecture I text Gordon Mackenzie for a check up on his progress and also to pick up the number for Ewen Amos from 1811 Witchery FC. His reply contained good news, and bad news. In customary fashion I’ll [...]

Psychological Psychology 20/2/2009
It has suddenly become evident to me just how important psychology is in sport. When there is a massive collision between the faeces and the fan and everyone is losing their head around you its pretty difficult to pick 10 other people up off the floor, both physically and mentally. I’ve been pretty pensive since [...]

Match Report vs Musselburgh Baptist FC (AKA The God Squad) 17/2/2009
After the news that pitches were unplayable for Monday the 16th and were extremely doubtful for the Wednesday I was somewhat concerned that by 4pm yesterday I hadn’t been told the game was off. Despite all this doubt we went ahead, probably due to the peculiar good weather we were gifted with. The pitch was [...]

A Big Parcel of Jiggery Pokery Wrapped In Red Tape 16/2/09
Howdy, after the afforementioned unprecedented levels of snow and no phonecall from the Brunton regarding a cancellation I grew curious and decided to drop them a line. Peculiarly I wasn’t put on hold at any stage and wasn’t forced to listen to some utter trash on repeat and my call was answered promptly. I asked [...]

Stormy Weather 12/2/2009
Bugger. 2 inches of snow last night/this morning. On a rare visit to Fisherrow I seem to have brought the weather with me from Polwarth. I lived in Fisherrow for just about 10 years and I’ve seen snow lie here twice in that entire time, god knows why it’s chosen to lie this time. I’m [...]

Update 11/2/2009
Howdy, just a quick shout for a couple wee things. Firstly I’ve been down to Fisherrow today and there must have been a match booked because the floodlights were on, but for some weird reason it didn’t go ahead. I’m assuming it failed a pitch inspection before the match went ahead because the floodlights went [...]

Update 10/2/2009
Howdy, since it’s the end of my working week seems appropriate for a wee update. Finally got word today from Paul Harkins, Musselburgh Baptist Church (aka the God Squad) FC’s gaffer and his boys are ripe for a game a week today on the 17th at good old Fisherrow. Standard procedure, 7pm kick off, want [...]

Update 8/2/2009
Howdy, still an uphill struggle to organise a fixture, mainly because the geezer from the God Squad still hasn’t text me back yet. His tardiness continues to infuriate me. Unfortuntely the pitches at Fisherrow are still resembling the aftermath of the battle of the Somme with a few syringes thrown in for good measure. Still [...]

Latest News 4/2/2009
After a fairly epic encounter on Sunday there is a hunger in the squad to pick up some more fixtures and start getting some victories on the board. No fixture this Sunday though, due to a variety of factors. Firstly the short notice once again meant nobody was willing to take us up on a [...]
