Today's Diddy Games

[Pacman1903]

Its a Hibs league record.

Considering Hibs were inconsistent under Lennon. Its nae a bad start. Especially with the three draws being against the top 3(at the time)

Nijmegen Eendracht Combinatie 2- 1 Rooms Katholieke Combinatiec

NEC 2-1RKC

Battle of the acronyms. Got lucky as im in Holland for work and getting three games.As it is a holiday there was a full second tier card.i chose Nijmegen as id been here before to watch Pearl Jam in the shadow of Goffert Stadion.

Good crack prior to the game. Had a Dons polo on but got the badge covered up with a NEC sticker as NEC have links with Motherwell and they took great pride in telling me they were at Pittodrie when Sutton stuck een in Langfields moosh to get second



Weird link but fair enough. I like random sh@t like that

Game was decen Both teams have nothing to play for but were attacking at all times. Not a bad watch. Game of two halves. RKC were by far the better team in the first. Different game in the second and Nijmegen won it and deserved too.

Good day oot in the 28 degrees

Holland is great. Next stop Heerenveen

Nobody knew the link. Passed down and a heap of them have been to Fir Park numerous times. Only away game was that assault on Langfield game

Other randoms, Kaiserslautern and Killie, Union Berlin and Dundee, Dynamo Berlin and Us

And Chelsea and sevco. A disgusting racist match made in hell

[InversneckieDob]

We played them in a friendly, what, early 70s I think?

Bonthrone era?

Or a merengue?

Heerenveen

My friend Dennis is a Groningen fan (and professor of something sciencey at Queens University in Belfast).

He DESPISES Heerenveen, a common feeling among actual fitba fans in The Netherlands.

He says that they're one of these manufactured plastic teams, loved by the media, one of these 'family' clubs where fans arrive with teddy bears and such ****e. I hate them on his behalf, as he hates the Tims, Jutes (who Heerenveen seem to resemble most) and Sevco in return.

I have similar arrangements with a Boro fan who despises Newcastle.

It's like a brotherhood of fitba cynicism. New members welcome.

I hope it's a good game and that the teddy bear huggers are on the end of a sound skelping.

Heerenveen 2-2 Venlose Voetbal Vereniging

Cracker of a game. Two teams with nothing to play for on the same points nae getting relegated or qualifying for Europe. End of season kick about with a last minute VVV equaliser. Good viewing

Got absolutley no chat from anyone at any point. The Dons top failed for once. Usually stirs up conversation but Heerenveen fans seem to be up their own arse. Hopefully Zwolle appreciate a fitba tourist tonight.

That doesnt take away from the fact Holland is my favourite country outwith Scotland. The fact ive been to 11 games here in the last 2 years tells you i like it. Got Zwolle v Groningen tonight and im back in two weeks for Twente v Cambuur

If i do write a book. Which im planning. Holland will get its own chapter
