The club seemed to have kept this one quiet (or perhaps it has replaced the game against Al Ain), but Town are currently playing Qatar SC at our base in Spain. Town 1-0 down at half-time, in conditions better suited to native Qatari’s than those used to playing their football on the English east coast.

No idea who’s playing for Qatar SC, but their squad includes former World Cup winner Javi Martinez.

I’m not sure if it’s their National team but if it is they won  the Asia cup.
I watched a couple of games in Abu Dhbai in 2019 .
All the Emiratis was complaining as the Qatari  team was full of ringers 😂

It’s not. It’s Qatar Sports Club, a domestic side. I don’t think any of their current players played at the WC, but still, it’s a friendly in conditions better suited to the opposition at the end of the day. A useful fitness exercise if nothing else.

This will stand us in good stead for that freezing cold Tuesday night in February at Colchester.

Sport-washing!

Disappointing to have conceded from a corner, but you'd imagine they'll be a reasonable side. A few current and former internationals in their squad.

I bet our lot are knackered after playing in those conditions.

It can’t be anywhere near as hot as Rochdale away last season.

Even Dave Moore was slathered in Piz.

That reminds me, where is Dave Moore? I don't recall seeing him at either the Clee Town or Borough friendly? Maybe he just blended in because everyone was wearing shorts!

According to Qatar SC' facebook the winner was scored by Badr Benoun, a Moroccan international who was part of their recent World Cup team.

They've got Javier Pastore in their squad too. Would be interesting to see their lineup from the match.

Feel for the lads. Heat must be a killer especially with the heat wave being felt in the continent at the moment. Playing football out there on the hard pitches ( common thing )  in Spain I remember with the locals  weather  can be sapping especially in the summer months. Out in Spain particularly central and South it tends to be a very dry heat which is different to the UK so I've been told due to greater humidity.

Continental heat very different indeed,  just up the coast in Benidorm has been reported as very "sticky" in places.

Mostly at the Queen ‘Vic’ !!!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

looking at their squad on wiki it's peppered with Qatari internationals. Qatar are ranked 58th in the world ahead of Slovenia, Ghana, South Africa and well ahead of N.Ireland.
To lose narrowly to them and  a full strength Ull side looks impressive (yes, I know you can't take anything from friendlies, but it must be encouraging)

I'd imagine this game replaced the Al-Ain game, only just realised that was set to have taken place last night.

Yes. Thing is as well due to the weather in Spain particularly in the central and south playing on grass pitches is rare Ive found. Councils as noted put municipal hard pitches up where locals gather and play football often late . On the few occasions where I did see a grass football pitch on the Costa Del Sol(where I often go on holiday) it was used in a paid sports membership club. I havent seen it used much only on some evenings and when children are on holiday on paid football camps.  Likewise even in some parks in Madrid the public are advised to keep off the grass to protect the turf. Speaking to someone recently who is Spanish I was told that in parts of Southern Spain water is now being cut off at night due to water shortages and showers at the beach have been turned off in recent years  to preserve water as reservoirs  are really low.

The Chinese have always claimed ping pong is good for longevity.

I guess laying on a stage, legs akimbo, blasting them out of your Steveevans must have a similar effect.

It's her Grandaughter doing the rounds now, Well that's what a friend told me 😉.
Going back to football, I was playing football, albeit at a much slower pace ( walking footie) three weeks ago approx 20km inland from Alicante, at a lovely town called Hondon, my Daughters partner is the manager of Hondon Valley Fliers, he said that if anyone is holidaying in the area they would be more than welcome to join in a session,they play Monday and Thursday mornings 9.30 to 11am. they haven't had a session for the last couple of weeks due to the heat but they still meet up for a few San Miguel's. ☺️. It was 34° when I was out there.🥵.
