Blues vs. Lincoln in the FA Cup.

Not a very exciting draw but at least we are at home and should also be able to rest a few and still get through like we did against Blackpool.

Trevor Francis & Tony Towers celebrate the rarest of beasts; an away win at #VillaPark in the #SecondCity Derby in October 1977, Keith Bertschin bagging the only goal of a customary tough, tight contest.

Since I've been here for a while… here are some useful features on Bluesky that you might not have discovered yet! 🧵

The Holy Trinity.

German Bundesliga team Werder Bremen has quit X and moved its official account to Bluesky.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

If, like me, you are among the mass migration of users onto this platform and struggled to find people, this link is super useful for recommending/finding accounts based on who you already follow.

To aid the creation of a Birmingham City community on here, I've created a list of Accounts that I believe identify as Blues fans to get us started. #BCFC #KRO

Will look to add to this for the near future at least. Errors unintentional. Follow/Respond to be added (or removed).

I've put together another starter pack for those who record their thoughts and opinions on the game. Pods, videos, blogs, articles, those who make them are all in here.

It's only a very quick first draft, so let me know who I've forgotten below!

I've put together the first draft of a rugby analysts starter pack.

Please share it about, and feel free to suggest additions, it's by no means complete and can only get better I'm sure.

I’m sleeping out at St Andrews next month to raise money for underprivileged children.

I know how expensive this time of year is for people, but if you can donate please do.

There have been so many arrivals over the past few days, and so many first rate football writers among them, that I don't think it unnecessary to re-post a link to this updated starter pack which has now well over 100 entries (compared to 40 a week ago). go.bsky.app/LkYr5cE
