Boston United 1-1 Scunthorpe United (National League) I've dropped the dog off at the mother-in-law's and am driving through Nottingham against traffic which is heading to the Forest and Chelsea game. Midday on a cool and cloudy October's Saturday, I'm heading again to Boston, but for a Lincolnshire derby against another side I know a bit about in Scunthorpe. Last season they were a division apart, but they did play each other the season before when Boston in the end gained

Leeds United U21 2-0 Athletic Bilbao u21  (Premier League International Cup Group Stages) I’ve got a bit of man flu. Just coughs and sneezes which I always seem to pick up around this time of year, but that won’t deter me from heading north today, to the city of York, and to watch a Premier League International Cup game between two young sides, Leeds United and Athletic Bilbao.

Scotland 2-1 Belarus (World Cup Qualifiers) I'm rounding off a trip to Scotland and Ireland to Scotland and back, a busy four days of football comes to a close with Scotland v Belarus in this World Cup qualifying group C game. Up early, my flight from Belfast to Glasgow is scheduled for 7am, so I'm at the airport for five and back in mainland Britain for 8. I've an hour or two to kill as I've booked a stadium tour at Ibrox, the home of Glasgow Rangers, after a dine in McDona

Ballymena United 1-3 Coleraine (NIFL Premiership) It's my day off today. I've an early flight back to Glasgow tomorrow but I've done all the touristy things in Northern Ireland over my recent annual visits, so rather than sit in my B&B all day watching Homes under the Hammer, I'm off to find a match, and something to do. Ballymena verses Coleraine intrigues me mostly. Firstly, I've always been intrigued by the name Ballymena, ever since getting a Nigel Worthington Panini sti

Northern Ireland 2-0 Slovakia (World Cup Qualifiers) Day two of my road (and air) trip watching international football and it's Northern Ireland's turn as Michael O'Neill's men host Slovakia at Windsor Park. No sooner have I packed my bags and left Hampden, am I in the air, next morning bright and breezy landing at Belfast International after a short Easy Jet flight from Glasgow. It's 8am and I'm already in the Hertz queue for a hire car, I can't check in to my B&B until 1p
