    TSFA Predictions 2022/23 – SPFL Championship

    Arbroath After an almost-fairytale season, Dick Campbell’s forever-humble prediction for the season will no doubt be to avoid the drop once more. There is some great talent in the Lichties’ squad and it is clear to see how coordinated they are as a team, but I cannot see them challenging anywhere near the heights they…

    TSFA Predictions – SPFL Premiership 2022/23

    Aberdeen The 2021/22 season was a disaster for the Dons. An experimental but unsuccessful Stephen Glass tenure led the way to a horrible tenth place finish; their worst league performance in just under twenty years. It will take an almighty rebuild to get Aberdeen back into the higher reaches of the table, but with Jim…

    The Scottish Football Adventure – 2021/2022 Season Review

    I started this blog as a personal outlet. I’d never written anything properly by my own accord, and after putting it off for a few years, decided to jump in head first.  Like many, the pandemic cut me off from the live football fix I craved. My Easter Road routine is something I missed more…

    Brazil is Blue – Cowdenbeath FC – 14/05/2022

    Cowdenbeath Football Club have a long history in Scottish football folklore. Founded in 1881 as a merger between Cowdenbeath Rangers and Cowdenbeath Thistle, the club are the oldest surviving in Fife. Imbedded in a town of only 14,000 odd people, The Blue Brazil have had decent success over the last 141 years. Despite no cup…

    Forza Candy – St Roch’s – 30/04/2022

    In memory of Paul Kelly ‘Community’ can be defined as “the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common.” Football in general is a community, where players, staff and supporters gather on a Saturday afternoon to enjoy a single match unfold. There is a shared interest, a unanimous absorption, and a much-needed…

    Homecoming – Dalkeith Thistle – 23/04/2022

    Background I grew up in Dalkeith – spent the best part of twenty odd years in the place before moving to Glasgow for university. Like most towns, it has its smooth surfaces and rough edges. I lived in Woodburn (the rough edge), famous for underage drinking haven Dalkeith Miners Club and Marmite footballer Ryan Porteous. (I…

    Fame from Smoke – Rutherglen Glencairn – 06/04/2022

    Background Rutherglen Glencairn have represented the former Royal Burgh for 126 years and are a large part of the town’s heritage. The club crest matches the symbols represented on the town seal, incorporating the values of the local community simultaneously. With the historical importance of Rutherglen to the west of Scotland, it is fitting that…

    Diamonds Are Forever – Airdrieonians FC – 26/03/2022

    Background Airdrieonians’ story is widely known in Scottish football folklore. It begins back in 1878, when the original club was founded to satisfy the local craving for a team in Airdrie. Forty years passed, with Airdrie showcasing themselves as a real challenger for dominance. They finished runners-up in the Scottish topflight four years a row,…

    A Day with the Colts – Rangers B – 20/03/2022

    Background Colt teams are not new nor revolutionary. Most clubs – professional or otherwise – have some form of youth, reserve or development system in order to create a pathway from grassroots to the first-team squad. This is normal. It has been for generations. Some of the world’s top nations have B teams lingering in…

    A Day in the Pits – Newtongrange Star – 13/03/2022

    The town of Newtongrange is the perfect insight into Scotland’s historic mining culture. Home to the famous Lady Victoria Colliery, this small town in the heart of Midlothian became a powerful asset in the country’s industrial success. Old mining cottages are lined in perfect unison in the middle of town, allowing a glimpse into days…
