Torpoint Athletic 1:0 Saltash Utd - Western League Premier Lge. Took the Tamarcrossings ⛴️ across the River Tamar from Plymouth for the #ElRiverTamarClassico and the #EastCornwallDerby. 3rd v 5th and Torpoint AFC edge it after an early πŸŸ₯ for Saltash United. A fabulous ground.

Plymouth Argyle 0:3 Reading. Half-time. Not quite the festive πŸŽ… ⚽️ I had hoped for with πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ #Argyle πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ getting a πŸŸ₯ and being 3:0 down after 19 minutes.

Plymouth Argyle 1:4 Reading - League 1. A dreadful 6 minutes early on saw Reading take a 3:0 lead. Game over with a few hundred πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ #Argyle πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ fans leaving. Argyle pulled one back and then got a penalty. Tolaj missed with Reading getting a 4th. 1st Boxing Day home ⚽️ since 2016.

Plymouth Argyle 1:1 Wycombe. Closing out another Futbology year with an #Argyle draw - the same as the 1st ⚽️ of 2025. Last year we went on to beat Brentford & Liverpool in the FA πŸ†- we start this year in a relegation battle to League 2. Hoping for a good January window.

The end of another Futbology #groundhopping year. Only 65 ⚽️ / 9 countries due to a busy job. Amazing experiences following πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ #Argyle πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬. Wins v Liverpool and Brentford & leading Man City 1:0 in the FA πŸ†. The🎒 of Argyle also saw relegation & now in bottom 4 in League 1

With all the ⚽️ postponements at the weekend, I am reminded of a ⚽️ in πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ in Dec '22. KSV Bornem v KFC Broechem at the wonderful Stadion Het Breeven. Minus 3C, a rock hard 🧊 covered grass pitch, and a throwback to the 80s with an 🍊 ⚽️ . The Belgians are definitely hardcore.
