More than a game

The dreich weather returned today, although it is a lot warmer. This afternoon after getting some shopping, on the way back I stopped at the Battery Park to watch the end of one of Football matches.

I thought I would stand behind one of the goals. When there was a lull in the game the goalie turned round to me and said "are you from the social"? I laughed and said no.

This was a Scottish Amateur League game between Inverclyde and Aikenhead Thistle. Even though it was raining I managed to take a couple of shots before the game finished. This is an attempted shot on goal by Inverclyde. Aikenhead held out to win 4-2.

This brought back memories of my youth, when we played matches here. Occasionally some of the Morton team would turn up and we would have a kick-about with Joe Harper and some of the Scandinavian revolution.

Back home now and about to start making an Aubergine curry. Yum...
