The World

Cup continues apace and I must admit to watching most of the games, at least with one eye anyway. What about these bloody horns/hooters/vuevue whatever they are. A few times I've muted the telly as it just becomes too much to bother with. What are they all about anyway. What is the point of them being blown incessantly for the whole game? I presume it's an indigenous thing, some football education required there me thinks. Have you watched the England games, oh dear, they really are making a total bollocks of the whole thing aren't they? That last game on Friday must rank as one of the most inept performances seen from England for a looooooooooooooooong time. Where is their pride?
Onto things domestic and you'll know the fixtures are out, we start at Cliftonhill in a start to the season rather bereft of home fixtures. The East of Scotland one's are out as well for the newly formed reserves. Interesting times. I spent an interesting day yesterday assisting withe the first trial day for the new under 17's team. It was held at Lowick FC's ground and 25 boys turned up. They had a demanding day which included the ubiquitous "bleep test". Fist time I've seen that in the flesh so to speak and that really sorts, in this case, the boys from the boys!
