Robins 1 Walsham 1

Yesterday Ely took on Walsham-le-Willows on a day that almost, but not quite threatened to be Spring like. Ely have been on a bit of a run of late and Walsham at the start of the day were in third and having the kind of season Ely had last time out. It looked like it was going to be a tough game for the Robins and they were pretty much under pressure from the start, Ely had a few chances, but Walsham looked the most dangerous and their impressive striker Ollie Hughes was proving a handful. He came close on 15 minutes, but the visitors finally took the lead on 36 minutes when an attempt at the offside trap by Ely failed miserably.

The second half started with Ely looking like getting back into the game, although they seemed to be lacking imagination up front. Therefore when Adam Murray was fouled in the box on 59 minutes it looked like a penalty might offer them their best chance of drawing level. Chadders stepped up to take the penalty, but it rebounded off the post. Fortunately, he didn't miss his second chance and Ely were on level terms.

Ely were given a numerical advantage on 66 minutes when a Walsham midfielder, who was already on a yellow, claimed to have been brought down by Sam Parkinson, who was a good yard away from him. The referee didn't think twice about pulling out a red card. Ely started to bombard Walsham now, but again seemed to lack the killer punch. Luke Parkinson came close 75, but the game finally ran out a draw.

An interesting enough game with Walsham having the best of the first and Ely the best of the second. A draw was probably a fai enough result.

Boca Juniors shirt history

Image
The first game that I will be at on Sunday sees Boca Juniors take on Paris Saint Germain. I have always wanted to go and see Boca Juniors and I can't see me getting over to Argentina any time in the near future, so I am going to have to make do with seeing them in North London. On my travels I have met plenty of Boca fans, but funnily enough they have all been Russian or Ukrainian. I am a bit disappointed that Martin Palermo has now retired, but I am still looking forward to it. Obviously to do justice to the club history of Boca Juniors I'd probably have to write a book, so here's a quick history of their kit and colours instead. When Boca were formed in 1905 they originally played in pink, but obviously came round to thinking that this was a bad idea and changed to a light blue colour later in the year. They didn't stick with this shirt for very long either and for the 3rd time in a year decided to change the shirt colour, this time to black and white stripes. The fol

shirt history AS Roma

Image
Roma were the club that I followed in Italy and although they are most famous for wearing red and yellow, hence the nickname giallo rosso the club didn't always wear those colours. AS Roma were formed in 1927 by a merger between SS Alba-Audace and Fortitudo-Pro Roma SGS with Italo Foschi being the driving force behind the merger. AS Roma could also trace their lineage back to FBC Roma who were formed in 1901 and who wore red and yellow, but the first shirts they wore took the red, white and blue of Fortitudo-Pro Roma. Roma soon established themselves at the top table of Italian football and in 1931 finished runners up to Juventus and by now had settled on red and yellow as their colours. However, you'll have to take my word for it because the picture below shows Attilio Ferraris in black and white. In 1942 Roma went one better and won their first Scudetto with Amadeo Amadei scoring 18 goals to help them secure the title. Pictured below he is wearing the change shirt with a repl

Sud Tribune, Dortmund

Image
The Sud Tribune at Westfalen is famed for the noise and support that it gives the BVB team. They started up early and carried on until well after the match had finished despite the poor result. At the end the team looked suitably disappointed when they thanked the fans. Nobody apart from the Hannover fans probably expected 96 to win. Hopefully better times for the Sud Tribune are just around the corner.
