Laquo; Older Entries. Albion 1 – 2 Derby. August 11, 2013. Not going to say much apart from its good to be back at Falmer and seeing old mates again for a beer on a football Saturday. Shit start on the pitch, but far from panic stations as we’re still only 6 points from automatic promotion, ok kids? Tags: Brighton and Hove Albion. Posted in Falmer Stadium. August 2, 2013. Brighton and Hove Albion. Why I love Football. Welcome to Sussex, Oscar. June 26, 2013. Fresh from winning the Israeli domestic league...

McCarthy's Football Travels: December 2014
http://mccarthysfootballtravels.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 11 December 2014. Lille OSC v Vfl Wolfsburg. 11/12/14. When the waiter said 11, I presumed he meant the cost of the round not the strength of the bloody beer.". Lille OSC 0-3 Vfl Wolfsburg. Stade Pierre-Mauory. Christmas is becoming a more and more popular time to head off to the continent for a few days. You've got Christmas markets, mulled wine, the chance to shop for gifts for loved ones and the final round of matches in the Europa League. Standard ferris wheel and giant tree. While the mark...

McCarthy's Football Travels: October 2014
http://mccarthysfootballtravels.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 13 October 2014. Latvia v Turkey. 13/10/14. Marian Pahars, Pahars, Pahars, he's taking us to Paris, to Paris, to Paris, and that is why we like him, we like him, we like him.". Latvia 1-1 Turkey. Skonto Stadions. When Michel Platini came up with his idea for the international week of football - spreading qualifiers for Euro 2016 from a Thursday through to a Tuesday - most people described it as crazy and a cynical idea just to help boost Uefa and television companies coffers. Without it, this tri...

McCarthy's Football Travels: April 2013

Sunday, 21 April 2013. VVV-Venlo v FC Twente. 21/04/13. I know Japanese people are fanatical, but traveling halfway around the world to Venlo just to see Bobby Cullen sit on the bench? That is ridiculous.". VVV-Venlo 2-2 FC Twente. Seacon Stadion. How's that for a sustainable transport plan? Lindeboom and a complimentary team sheet in the fans cafe. Don't bother then, just stand on the large gravel path between the stand and bank and why not smoke a joint while you are at it. The Twente fans in their cage.

Wednesday, 9 February 2011. Denmark v England. 09/02/11. If you can't get away with a childs ticket on the metro, it's unlikely you'll be able to get away with a dog one.". Denmark 1-2 England. Parken Stadium. Soldiers parade outside Amalienbrg. Could you get away with a dog ticket? At the Carlsberg Factory. Copenhagen's Little Mermaid Statue. Knights of the realm. Parken Stadium appeared to be far bigger than it's 38,000 capacity. Wouldn't want a ticket behind this pole. How did it work? One of the bigg...

http://mccarthysfootballtravels.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 18 November 2014. Scotland v England. 18/11/14. I'm not sure going in this Rangers pub wearing a green hoodie and green trainers, with ID saying my surname is McCarthy and looking look Paddy McCourt is a good idea.". Scotland 1-3 England. Celtic Park. Watching England is 90% of the time a complete and utter chore. But every now and again you get one game that comes along and makes all that time, money and inevitable disappointment worth it. Scotland v England was one of those games. But enough p...

Friday, 2 September 2011. Bulgaria v England. 02/09/11. Why would anybody who looks like Janet Street Porter think their calling in life is to run a fetish club? Bulgaria 0-3 England. Vasil Levski Stadium. The first rule of going abroad - always check the weather forecast. Something that was dearly forgotten for this trip to Sofia for England's Euro 2012 qualifier with Bulgaria. Of course, there was a drawback to that accommodation and that was sharing a double bed. Thankfully, our lovely lady host a...
