King's Lynn Town 3 Scarborough Athletic 4

 This may go down as one of the biggest comebacks that I have ever been present at. It's just a pity that King's Lynn were on the receiving end of it.

King's Lynn came quickly out of the blocks with Bartosz Cybulski firing the Linnets into a two goal lead before Scarborough had a chance to settle. Jonny Margetts then added a third from the spot to give the Linnets a 3-0 lead after only 20 minutes. The rest of the half was similarly one sided with Scarborough rarely venturing out of their own half.

However, whatever the Scarborough coach said to his team at halftime definitely seemed to do the trick. The second half started with Margetts coming close but after three minutes, it was Kole Hall who fired one back for the visitors. After this it was a very different second half with the Seadogs in the ascendancy. They were finally back in the game on 77 minutes when Luca Colville broke through the defence to feed Lewis Maloney who scored with  a deflected shot. Scarborough were now starting to believe, but as the clock ran down and with King's Lynn still 3-2 up on 90 minutes, I and clearly the Lynn players thought it was job done. Scarborough had other ideas and in stoppage time Kole Hall added his second to level the scores. Lynn were now in shock and while they were still reeling Dom Tear lobbed the Lynn keeper with the last kick of the game to make it 4-3 to the visitors.

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.
