My dad was happy to share his ticket collection from #SturmGraz UEFA Cup run in 1984. It ended against Nottingham #NFFC. We play Forest again today in the #UEL.

All I'm prepared to say about this, for now, is that the use of pyro photo illustrations to connote "hooligans" and "riots" is really cheap, disingenuous and Murdoch-level.

And I think @jonathanliew.bsky.social knows football cultures better than this.

Before the Conference League anthem came on in #Celje in #Slovenia for yesterday's win against AEK Athens, today’s guest had a lot of work behind him already while I was was on my way via train, uber and rental car from Bosnia. #UECL

Some more core memories from #zeljeznicar , today’s derby winner and #Sarajevo, before Monday’s episode travels to Slovenia

The 2nd part of the story on Ivica Osim, #Bosnia and #Sarajevo is out today.

So no better day to watch a frantic Željezničar win at Grbavica against Borac Banja Luka.

The social media people at #sturmgraz apparently thought the same, and were the first ones to congratulate 🖤

Part 2 out today. Live from Sarajevo, #Bosnia - and the immigration check line at Chicago O'Hare airport. Volimo te, Ivica Osim

Wir fahren nach #Berlin! But not just to #fcunion or #HaHoHe Hertha.

An English exclusive with Damiano Benzoni's richly textured soccer-cultural guide through the German capital. Plus a 1920s Viennese workers song, to scare away any new listeners ;)

The judge rejected the appeal.
