Eric the Red's Welsh Football: May 2008
http://welshfootball.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2008. Lino in the stand unmasked. Further to my post below wondering about the linesman in the stand at Reyjkavic, this picture has come to light. I robbed it without permission from Adam Jones' Facebook page. These people are senior business professionals . They are 40 years old. At least one of them is a politician. They went to Iceland v Wales dressed as match officials. Quality. Posted by Eric The Red. Links to this post. Thursday, May 29, 2008. Name and Shame the Welsh-not Pubs.

Eric the Red's Welsh Football: July 2008

Friday, July 18, 2008. Bangor City v FC Midtjylland, UEFA Cup, 2008. This was an interesting one. I bought a new camera today at lunchtime, and by the evning I was stood on the touchline at the Racecourse wearing a red bib and comparing my tiny zoom with some of the large erections used by the pros. Nonetheless, I got some decent pics which you can see here if you're interested. Which I'm sure you are. Http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/philstead/sets/72157606229894947/. Posted by Eric The Red.

Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Giggs - boo or cheer? The news that Ryan Giggs is to retire after Saturday's game against the Czech Republic has left me reeling. My first reaction is one of panic, disappointment, and even mortality. That young lad who was scoring free kicks against Belgium in the early nineties is to stop playing for us. How can this be? Does everything have to stop? Put out on Saturday. Coyne; Delaney, Bale, Collins, Gabbidon, Speed, Savage, Giggs, Davies, Bellamy, Earnshaw. What irks me is th...

Eric the Red's Welsh Football: March 2007
http://welshfootball.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 31, 2007. He had just scored an underserved goal to take the lead against Bethel Under 7's when it happened. Around about the half way line, there was a ball to be won and in he went. Bethel's biggest and best player had the same idea. There was a clear and horrible "krakk" and my son stopped moving. There is something about carrying your wounded and weeping son off a football pitch that changes a man. I can fit my hand around his skinny little bruised leg, and he clung tightly to me ...

Eric the Red's Welsh Football: April 2007
http://welshfootball.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 02, 2007. Porthmadog embroiled in FAW Appeals. Flicking through the programme at Llanystumdwy. Yesterday, I came across an intriguing little editorial which invited further investigation:. Last Tuesday we were in front of the FAW. Disciplinary board in our 2 nd. Appeal against our omission. From the junior cup. We again lost the appeal so we now go on to the 3rd appeal against the FAW. We feel strongly as a club that we want to see justice done, not only for ourselves but for all small clubs.

Eric the Red's Welsh Football: February 2007
http://welshfootball.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 24, 2007. About five years ago I was working in the press box at Ninian Park when David Moyes' Preston team scored four and completely destroyed the home side. I interviewed David Moyes who cut a very impressive figure even at that stage of his career. But when Frank Burrows bravely appeared to face the music, I kinew that I wasn't cut out for the harsh world of sporting journalism. But there are a few players coming back into form now. And while we aren't fluent, we are at least f...

Eric the Red's Welsh Football: September 2008
http://welshfootball.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Ex-Felin lad moves to Bangor City. Interesting to read that Bangor City signed former Felinheli player Kevin Lloyd. From Llangefni Town. I watched Kevin regularly at Felin a few years ago when he played in our first team at Welsh Alliance level when he was just sixteen years old. He's obviously come on a lot since moving to Llangefni, and it's good to see a young lad who is prepared to make the sacrifices that the Welsh Premier demands. Posted by Eric The Red. We all know wha...

Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Cardiff City Superstars Wembley Mix. Posted by Eric the Red. Links to this post. Mansfield were relegated from the 3rd Division last night. Thank God for that. Hopefully I'll never have to go to Mansfield again. Posted by Eric The Red. Links to this post. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Why are our balls so big? I popped into a City Centre sportshop the other day on the lookout for a football. Just a normal ball for a seven year old lad. You think I could find one? The other reason is...

Eric the Red's Welsh Football: Ipswich 2-0 Cardiff City
http://welshfootball.blogspot.com/2010/09/ipswich-2-0-cardiff-city.html
Sunday, September 19, 2010. Ipswich 2-0 Cardiff City. Cooper, Burley, Mills, Wark, Beattie, Hunter, Muhren, Thijssen, Mariner, Gates, Brazil. . Did Ally Brazil play in the same team as Muhren? I don't really want to know. The Ipswich team of my memory is cultured, skillfull and refined, and full of everything I love about football. I expected Ipswich to be pleasant and I wasn't disappointed. This is an easy-going place and the amble to the ground in warm sun had more of the feel of a cricket ma...The aw...
