I should be sharing tales of my afternoon at Glentoran but the weather did for us. No matter, a quick cross Belfast detour to Cliftonville....nope, called off not much more than an hour before kick off.
As we were leaving the pub having managed to find a bar with enough Sky clout to show our game at lunchtime we were asked by some lads where we were headed. It was some Huddersfield fans who had adopted Cliftonville as their second team. They told me Docherty's red was a joke the other week and that they thought we'd played well. They can see things lots of us can't.
Belfast is a cracking city though and we'll return in the near future. I'd recommend it for anyone who's not been.
Not the correct group for this post, but here goes.
Today was the last round of games here in Brazil, Botafogo in Rio last won the title in 1995, all they had to do was avoid defeat, they won 2-1 to make them champions.
Watching it in a pub and seeing the players celebrating with the fans at the ground was fantastic, wherever you are in the world a football fan can share the same emotions.
Before I left the boozer with my friend I went over and congratulated the Botafogo fan, I told him I was English and supported Charlton, he liked my tattoo! I told him to drink lots of beer and enjoy the night.
