I’m at my local non-league club for the local derby. It’s muddy, it’s pissing down with rain, there are about 200 people here, balls keep getting hoofed over the fence, some people have brought their dogs. It’s brilliant. #properfootball

Oof. Noice, when geography & spiritual fulfilment come together. Town away at #BristolRovers on Satdee. Plan now fixed to travel homewards *via Brizzle*, to take in that game & break the journey back to #Pembrokeshire.

Thrilled that the league is starting, cant wait to see #AAAJ take the field tonight at home vs Sarmiento. #VamosBicho 🐞 #ProperFootball #Argentina #TorneoApertura2026
Pie and Bovril. Proper stuff.

A football waiting to be kicked
#nonleague #properfootball #photography from @heatonstan.bsky.social v @bridtownafc.bsky.social this Wednesday. Despite one of the floodlights running on half its bulbs I think I got a couple of decent shots
A footballer running. Look at how dark it is
#ProperFootball #nonleague #photography from @heatonstan.bsky.social v @newtonaycliffefc.bsky.social, a game that everyone enjoyed apart from me, because one of the floodlights was out and I had to crank the ISO to ludicrous heights.
Has the game gone mad? The World Cup should be sacred—earned, not handed out like raffle tickets.
16–18 from Europe. 8–10 South America. 4-6 each from Asia & North America. 8 from Africa. 1 or 2 from Oceania.
Dreams are built on merit, not maths. Don’t dilute the glory. #ProperFootball #WorldCup
Choose having a drink and a chat with the players after the game. Choose mixing with the opposition fans. Choose the old dears in the tea hut serving Bovril for the 49th consecutive season. Choose meat raffles. Choose to watch football alongside dogs. Choose away days in towns you did not know existed. Choose getting a beer for a couple of quid and standing on the terraces with it. Choose getting a lift to the game with a club director. Choose to give your money to a local club not a soulless corporation. Choose players who know the fans by name. Choose parking right next to the ground. Choose standing wherever you want to. Choose listening to everything the benches say. Choose paying a pound for a cup of tea. Choose proper pies. Choose honest football right on your doorstep.
An interesting, if demoralising commentary on why I have no time for the Premier League and, increasingly, the EFL. Non-league for me these days #properfootball

One of the reasons I’m very much enjoying the women’s euros is that there’s no tiki taka / horseshoe football nonsense #putitinthemixer #properfootball ⚽️

Naturally that means I’m off to the pub to watch Liverpool win the league.
