Exactly what it says on the tin. Today marks one hundred days since I had the pleasure of a game. That game was a final 90 minutes of a four game Dutch tour, Vitesse 4 v 2 Heerenveen on February 16th. The following Wednesday I went offshore for twenty eight days and came back to the bat flu epidemic which I had been largely been unaware of, in terms of what was coming, lockdowns etc, as i was stuck in the Atlantic. This obviously led to the elimination of my remaining nineteen games I had pencilled in or booked
Here is a compilation of pictures* from my collection of thousands that remind me why I love fitba and what Wee Man and me are missing. Totally picked at random.
Whether its pyro, lower league fitba, Dutch fitba, Italian fitba, great clubs, great grounds, great fans, mascots, sightseeing or whatever. I miss it all more and more each day.
Haste ye back fitba
