SUFC 2023/24 Game #8
I've used all the clichés in the past ten years of Blogging. Primarily - the end of the phony war. The transfer window shuts. You can't lose any players "unexpectedly". You've already brought in your desperate buys to fill gaps caused by your cautious, researched buys not being good enough. But, anyhoo, we're up n running. First point. Still not really been in the bottom three. Even as I write, two teams remain pointless.
We come from a goal down to lead. One of our signings effectively scores two. And, we could have snatched it at the death. In a crazy - header, bar, save, post, whistle - combo.
I was a guest in the John St Lounge for both the Everton game and the Lincoln City game. (I notice you're not fucking saying much about that Lincoln game Phil !!!)
That means I can push the Beer In The Ground KLAXON at a Home match for a change.
Beavertown, which I am contractually obliged to point out is a subsidiary of Heineken, Neck Oil on Keg at 4.3%
It is what it is. And, what it is is a Footie Beer we'd have crawled over fifty good ******* to get to in the past. So … we drink.
The half noon kick off allowed us a good run at;
Two & Six Micropub
26 Snig Hill, Sheffield S3 8NB
Which is a lovely refurb/rebrand of premises existing. A few tables and chairs outside if you fancied bullying any passing Toffees on their way to Kelham Island. Or plenty of seats inside the main room. A just right beer board. Four Cask, including your sweet porter/stout for my Carrier Bag Firm comrades in tooth decay. An ersatz "normal lager". And two pukka craft kegs. Oversized glasses an' all.
I'll single out;
Great Newsome Brewery (Kingston upon Hull), Holly Blue, Session Pale Ale on Cask at 3.6%
Lovely at that abv. Bright. Perfect condition. Did I say, we're up n running.
