A look around Motherwell in Scotland - not an obvious tourist destination but let's see what there is to do! We enjoyed it a lot as a day out and hope to visit again soon to explore inside the things that were closed while we were there (it was a Sunday morning to be fair!) 😀 Enjoy! 😍

When you're on junk you have only one worry: scoring. When you're off it you are suddenly obliged to worry about all sorts of other shite. Got no money: can't get pissed. Got money: drinking too much. Can't get a bird: no chance of a ride. Got a bird: too much hassle. You have to worry about bills, about food, about some football team that never fucking wins, about human relationships and all the things that really don't matter when you've got a sincere and truthful junk habit.
Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting

Who is your favourite football team(s)? Has it always been that team or did it change?
(Easier question first lol)
I have always been a Blackpool fan. My dad is a Blackpool fan. It's where he grew up going to games with his dad or just on his own as a kid a lot of the time. But he decided he wasn't going to force his kids into being football nerds. His mistake because before he realised my brother was attending Leeds Utd academy days and was a Leeds fan lol. He wasn't going to make the same mistake twice and so as soon as I started caring about football, I was bundled up in tangerine and taken to Bloomfield Rd 🙈
So Leeds are my second team, I have a massive soft spot for them but my heart is with Blackpool FC.
I also do struggle to care about sports without having a team to support so Motherwell are my Scottish team (for my sins because it ain't a good season gang), Feyenoord are my Dutch team, Maritimo are my Portuguese team (both because I've seen them play live).

Hyde's place in the history of the penalty
IT'S amazing what sometimes makes its way into your inbox. Recently, and thanks to Mike Smith who is better known as Mossley Smiffy, I was alerted to the fact that the first penalty in the history of football was scored by a former Hyde player.
The man in question was James McLuggage who spent a season with the Victorian Tigers in 1889-90. He played at least 20 matches, scoring a dozen goals.
At the time Hyde FC were a very ambitious club, in fact one with ideas above their station, and it was this attitude that led to the famous FA Cup tie with Preston North End (who were quite a lot bigger).
In common with the Invincibles and other Football League clubs they began to talk of importing talent from Scotland — something that wasn't cheap. But the Athletic News said Hyde had a free purse and there was even talk of signing a player from Glasgow Rangers Reserves on wages of £3 a week (which would equate to about £270 in today's money).
That may even have been McLuggage, who made at least one appearance for the Ibrox first team, but he joined Hyde from Accrington.
Hyde spent lavishly in other ways too. They paid clubs like Belfast Athletic to come and play them. J Fairbrother and Son (Grange Road North was then called Fairbrother Street) started erecting a grandstand. They joined the Lancashire League and even sold photographs of the players.
Of course they couldn't afford it, and by the mid-1890s the original Hyde FC had folded. A new club was established by Charlie Barber, landlord of the Gardeners, Lumn Road.
But back to the famous Jim McLuggage. Here's how his historic penalty exploits are recorded on scottishsporthistory.com:
"One of the cornerstones of football was born in 1891, out of frustration at cynical fouls which prevented a goal. The penalty kick was launched at a meeting of the International FA Board, held in the Alexandra Hotel, Glasgow, on June 2, 1891.
"It was one of the most momentous changes to the laws of the game, and while it was intended for the following season it did not take long to make an impact. The first award of a penalty took place just four days later, on June 6, 1891, at Mavisbank Park, Airdrie.
"Larkhall side Royal Albert defeated Airdrieonians 2-0 to lift the Airdrie Charity Cup and one of their players made history. Around 2,000 fans witnessed 'what is in all likelihood the first case of a referee granting a foul under the new law for tripping, holding, or handling the ball within 12 yards of goal'.
"Few people, least of all the players, knew what to expect: 'That the new law was a puzzle to the players was evident, all appeared to think they could stand in front of the ball as of old, but imagine the astonishment of both players and spectators when Connor alone was left between the sticks, while his ten companions had to go six yards behind the ball along with the Royalists.
" 'In simple, the new law means that but two men settle such infringement, the kicker and opposing goalkeeper, and a goal is a moral certainty with half-good management'.   "The main protagonists in this little scene can all be identified. The referee was James Robertson of 5th King's Royal Volunteers, who lived in Partick and represented the Southern Counties on the Scottish FA committee. The goalkeeper was the veteran James Connor, who had a Scotland cap to his name.
"And most importantly, the scorer was James McLuggage.
"Born in Ireland around 1865, James and his family moved to Scotland when he was a small boy and at some stage dropped a letter from their original name of McCluggage. He started his football career with Cowlairs, and was good enough to be selected for Glasgow against Sheffield in 1886.
"When he moved to Larkhall he turned out for Royal Albert and the Motherwell Times in 1888 described how a howl of joy and triumph arose from the Larkhall supporters’ when he took the field.
"McLuggage also recorded occasional appearances for Third Lanark and Rangers before turning professional with Accrington in 1889. However, although he played in eight Football League matches, it was not a success.
"By the end of the year he had joined Hyde and he was back in Scotland with Royal Albert in 1891, where he remained for at least four years.
"His sole claim to football fame is that momentous penalty. He died in Larkhall on November 18, 1949."

BOOK REVIEW: 1977/78, A Historic Season For Rangers FC And A Treble That Ended An Era by David Herd (2023)
For top writer, David Herd, blue is the colour and of the Scottish variety in a land where, for many decades, there’s been little variety in winners of Premier league and Cups thanks to the stranglehold of Glasgow rivals, Celtic and Rangers.
In this new football book on PITCH released 1 May, 2023, Herd focuses on 1977/78 to review in fine detail, month-by-month, match-by-match; 1977/78 was a historic Treble-winning season for the ‘Gers with such (playing) greats in their ranks as Derek Johnstone, Davie Cooper, Derek Parlane, and - captain - John Greig (John is pictured in the book, including with singing-superstar, Rod Stewart);  Greig also wrote a bi-weekly ‘Tartan Talk’ column for Shoot! magazine around this time.  
So, we kick-off under Ranger’s manager, Jock Wallace, 13 August, 1977, Aberdeen v Rangers with Billy McNeil installed just across the road as the new Celtic manager, and round-off 28 April, 1978, with a home game at Ibrox versus Motherwell. 
1977/78 rounds off the 224 pages with a Full results service, player statistics (appearances / goals).
An excellent read and matchless research & writing from David Herd. The supportive Foreword’s by Alex MacDonald (ex-manager, Hearts & Airdrieonians: ex-player, St. Johnstone, Rangers & Hearts).
Rating: 10/10
