Welcome to the first post in Kickabout, the Scottish amateur football forum which will
discuss amateur football, 5-a-sides, walking football and all variations of football
which we get involved in solely for the love of the game.
Whether it’s a kickabout up the park with your pals or a cup final, there’s nothing that can beat the feeling of having a ball at your feet and all that comes with it – the joy and excitement, the competitiveness, the friendships, emptying the ‘black stuff’ from your boots on to the floor as your despairing mum/dad/partner watches on. As much as we all love to watch Messi and Ronaldo beautifully stroke the ball around in front of 80,000 fans in the Champions League, it could be argued that we get more joy seeing fat Dave notch his first goal of the year at 5's on a rainy Tuesday with a hit-and-hope toe-poke from the edge of his own box. This is football at its purest form. That’s why ‘Kickabout’ will aim to get away from mainstream football news and bring stories, news and opinions from the football community which we can all be a part of.
So, if you’re interested, keep checking back and we’ll explore topics such as the drop-in numbers of amateur footballers and whether or not it’s becoming too expensive to play football with my opinions as well as the opinions of others. It will also be possible for you to share your own opinions or stories on ‘Kickabout’, so make sure to give us a follow on Twitter @KickaboutBlog and Facebook at ‘Kickabout – Amateur Football Blog’ and feel free to drop a message on either of these platforms if there’s anything you’d like to have included in the blog.
Thanks for reading and I hope to have you back next time.
