In the style of what Crazyfool did for Neil, can we all come together to get Ayrshire Chris a return flight to Seville in mid May and a ticket to the Europa League final. Although with him being from Ayrshire I am not sure what is wrong with Kilmarnock or Ayr, or if cup finals and league titles are important Auchinleck Talbot.

It will be sober and the telly for me this time, we will be heading down to Somerset for a few days camping as soon as the game finishes!  I was lucky enough to get tickets for our Manchester invasion last time we got this far. Originally a Lanarkshire lad so always a bear. Talbot? Nah, it’s Largs thistle for me.

I just never imagined putting Auchinleck Talbot in a post on Efest.

our swans are back this year and again nesting a yard from a busy shore path!  Think there’s 6 eggs and this is as close the male will let you get! 

Break your arm they will.

My mate was telling me last week about his nephew who was pretending to be a cat. This included shitting in the litter tray. 

At least he was house trained I suppose.

Just a swan update. She’s got four signets, here’s three of them settling down with mum this evening. I assume the other is under her!  Took this photo at half ten this  evening, one advantage of being so far north is the long hours of daylight.

That was incredible!!! What a game. Played quick offensive football, excellent in defence right up until extra time, and even then, with clearly tired legs, got the goal and saw it out with such professionalism.

I dare anybody to say that wasn't entertaining!

[Spindles]

I've been stuck at work and couldn't watch it, but fantastic stuff and I'll watch the match after work.  After Russo's goal the other day it just felt like this was meant to be.

Made up for the team.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Well done England, edge of the seat stuff but the way they closed out the game at the end was very professional and controlled.  Thoroughly deserve all the plaudits. Hopefully inspires more girls to play and it’s up to the schools  to get it on the curriculum.

would be great to see this inspiring more girls to play .... just have to hope more profesionalism  doesn't add the worse aspects of the mens game in the mix 

[Simsy]

Great game!

[fred quimby]

What a game. Really decent final. I'm over the moon. 

Really great tournament all the way through. Bet some of the clubs that said no to using their grounds are kicking themselves now.

Been watching some if the WSL with my dad the last season and will certainly carry that on.

I loved the interviews after the match. None of the mens boring same old interviews, which I know is the PR people. Showed the passion .

And hopefully puts an end to all the snide sexist bullshit that appears on certain social media

Proud Dad moment, my little lad had his first ever football tournament on Saturday where his team won their group winning all 3 games and then went on to win their semi-final and final both 2-1.

Well done, the young one will be ultra excited by his achievement!  I’m now at the proud grandpa stage watching footy!

He was buzzing when the final whistle went, it made it sweeter as the night before he was upset saying he wasn't good enough after he'd had 3 days at football camp.  Couldn't quite get out of him what it was but the win was just the pick up he needed and he played great all through the tournament.

Grandpa?!  I didn't think you were that old to be honest.  My old man was there watching as well and he was proud as punch.
