About Dave

I’m a 32-year old ‘football obsessive’ who lives in a small town in central Scotland, not far from Edinburgh.

My main football allegiance is to my local senior club, Livingston who I have supported through a change of identity, three league championship wins, three relegations, several financial crises and a magnificent Scottish League Cup win in 2004.

I also attend Scotland home games whenever possible, and fill in as many other Saturday afternoons and midweek nights by attending other random football matches.

Televised football isn’t really my cup of tea – I enjoy my football ‘in the flesh’ whether its a local junior match watched by a handful of diehards or a big game attended by thousands.

I’ve decided to share my experiences watching football via this blog, so follow me as I try to get round 100 matches this season.

    Hi Dave

    I’m the programme editor at The Spartans FC, and came accross your blog on a google search about the club. It’s going to be the last game at City Park this Saturday, and we’re looking to do a commemorative programme. With that in mind, I was wondering if you’d give permission for me to reproduce any of your images from the Spartans v Whitehill Welfare game you attended earlier in the season in this Saturday’s programme. I would appreciate it hugely if you could let me know by e-mail if this is something you’d be willing to allow us. If not, I understand completely.

    Many thanks, and keep up the blog – it’s very impressive!

    After your blog on our home draw against Harthill Royal back in February it was good to read your review of our recent game against Armadale Thistle on your return to Murrayfield Park – you need to walk along and visit us more often and we’ll keep a programme for you! Anyway, I hope you don’t mind but, as before, I’ve added a link to your review from the Blackburn United website’s match report on the game as well as on the sites ‘Latest News’ page and, this time, I’ve also added a link to your complete blog on our own ‘Links’ page. Good luck on getting to the seven games you need to hit your target of 100!!

    Hi Dave … Just been having another wee look through your blog, excellent stuff. I see you’re planning on attending the Pollok v Medda final on Thursday. Hopefully there will be a good crowd for the last game of the season and lots of good football on show. I was at the Blantyre v Medda semi last night and it was bad enough to get football stopped so I’m looking for extra thrills in the final to make amends.
    I’ve recently started an Irvine Meadow blog http://irvinemeadow.blogspot.com and have added your blog to my links list.

    Regards MM

    Hello Dave,

    Do you want to swap links? As a Scotlandfan I really enjoyed reading your site. I discovered some new non-league grounds I never heard of. Ashfield is top of my list when I’m in Glasgow again. My website is: http://www.doingthe116.com

    Cheers, Joris
