Paella and Bovril

Having just heard that the Hamilton game is off due to lack of covers on the pitches I am wondering if I should take a wee trip in the Barcelona rain and look for match! This wee serving of paella and bovril is from last weeks match against Falkirk! A lovely 2-2 draw that sounded positive from Raith in the first half with a 2 goal advantage. But in usual style it was not meant to be and we got a 2-2 draw in the end.  PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MATCH DAY PROGRAMME  RAITH 2 - 2 FALKIRK  JAN 2012 Paella and Bovril Anyone who has visited Barcelona and has taken a baby step off the tourist routes surely would have noticed that the city has a fair few football pitches, on top of car parks and “on top” of one of the main motorways round the city!

Happy New Year! I saw the bells in with some fireworks and 26 floors above Barcelona so it was a great start to the year. Well not so happy now (let us get the bad stuff done early on I say), a Raith defeat and my washing machine has just unloaded onto the neighbours below!  It seems to come round every year, a bit like the recent festive period, referees and their deision making. Did it cross the line, was it a penalty, should It have been a card the list could go on.  This time round I have decided to give you a a mix a letters and paella. This first serving of Paella and Bovril is an old one but still a fresh topic.  The second is just a wee observation.  Enjoy!
