I like football, sometimes.

Tranmere fan, calcio fan, and occasional globetrotter. Most of my content is at the other place.
TRFC are shite all over the world.

And they were 1-0 up.

Ha Tinh. 350km south of Hanoi. Way off the tourist track.

Lass on the bus who spoke English, due to living in Australia for nine years wondered why I was coming here, as tourists don't tend to come.

Bloody obvious, innit...

Bun cha, what the locals eat for breakfast, accompanied with salad and garlic with red hot chillie peppers.

85p well spent.

Got to have an airport beer, even though it was 6.20am in Beijing.

Share a photograph of a mountain that you've taken.

The Caucasus mountains taken from Daur Akhvlediani Stadium, in Gagra.

Just metres from the Black Sea, and in the shadow of the mountains, Gagra is in the disputed territory of Abkhazia, near the border with Russia.

Tranmere are absolutely shite, but for once I don't have to get up at silly o'clock and naviagate our unreliable and overpriced rail network to watch them lose next week.

Just the three miles for me.

Big train ticket sale on Tuesday, so a WhatsApp discussion about a trip to watch some Scottish football.

Two hours later, £50 return flights to Germany booked.

Tranmere have two free Saturdays in Nov/Dec.

If you're that way inclined, you could fly Stansted to Palma de Mallorca for £30 return, watch Mallorca vs Osasuna, and be back in Blighty a mere 13 hours after departing.

From the Bosphorus to Bosnia to Birkenhead.

The only thing that keeps me interested in Tranmere is the FA Cup, and the likelihood is that it could be short-lived.

We did beat Wycombe in 2019 when they were the highest-ranked club in the first round.

It's the hope that kills you.

It's not a very pleasant experience, but a must-do when in Mostar: The Genocide Museum, and Sniper Alley.

The city still bears the scars of a war that happened in our lifetime in mainland Europe.

Mostar, absolutely stunning.
