Triathlon update

Ten days in and I am still alive, but very aware of my legs, arms, toes, fingertips, pretty much everything hurts.

Here we go again

Image
Well let us give this blogging thing ago again. To those that don’t know I am a Raith Rovers Fan living, working, training, in Barcelona. For the last 13 years I have made the Catalan capital my home. But this hasn’t stopped my love of Raith Rovers and scottish football. Occasionally I pen an article to appear in Raith’s match day programme and in the past I have posted the articles on this blog. Here we go again. Fresh from the paella dish to you metaphorical footballing plates. Here is paella and Bovril.   Paella and Bovril   Across the rooftops of the back of Barcelona a game kicks-off. Local residents can hear cheering, grumbling and the occasional naughty word. They know it is football but they say to themselves “però Barcelona no juga aquesta nit”.

Projector, screen and R...

Summer side dishes

First of all I would like to all those who have tasted Paella and Bovril during the past season. I would also like to thank all the volunteers who make the match day programme at Raith Rovers one of the best in the Scottish first division. I am going to fill the void that football has left with training for a triathlon and for the first time I will be keeping Paella and Bovril going over the summer with a few wee side dishes being posted over the closes season. I hope you will join me. In the mean time why don't you look thru some old editions.

lost and found in a riot.

Is it me or does it seem to be that when spring has sprung madness is not far behind, riots in my beloved city of Barcelona, last minute goals from left right and centre, men swimming with the boats of Cambridge and Oxford and clubs on the brink of something!  It is the time of year when the some games mean everything and other mean another Saturday not going round the shops (we will have plenty of that in the close season). The season has not been an easy one for Rovers and I for one know that the "at the death" goals have been saving us, and destroying my speakers thanks to the guys at Raith Rovers Abroad ! This wee serving up of "Paella and Bovril" come on the back of two draws and a home win. We won at home to Hamilton in a pretty terrible first half, but more than made up for it with a pretty spectacular (well so it sounded with a pretty long gggggooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll from the commentary team) second half. Enjoy! PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TE...
