Our first match of 2024-25 ends in a narrow 3-2 loss to Glasgow Piraten. A tough one to take but there were plenty of positive performances on the pitch and no lack of effort. Some sore legs in the post for tomorrow (through to probably Tuesday or Thursday).

It's all over at Nethercraigs! In a thrilling encounter for the ages, @ScotWritersFC sees off a fantastic Piraten fightback to win 5-3, thanks to a @ciaranxyz hat-trick. We shall tell our children's children about this one.
Find yersel!
ALT Two teams stand arm in arm. The team in blue are incredibly good looking. They look like they might have just won a football match 5-3.
It's game day! ⚽
All formatting leads to Nethercraigs Sports Complex for our swashbuckling showdown with Glasgow Piraten. We're expecting a reaction after St Pauli's loss to Hamburg last night. Come and watch the whole thing! Kick off: high noon.
Wanted: a Glasgow-based goalkeeper to play between the sticks in our match versus Piraten FC on Saturday – kick off 12pm. No writing experience required. ✋⚽🤚

Get in. Scotland Writers FC clinch a 2-1 win over @HotScotsFC today with the last kick of the game.
It was a hard fought 2-1 loss to @HotScotsFC in Edinburgh today. Jack Wade brought us level with a 2nd half header before a last-minute rocket, launched in blowy conditions, found the back of our net.
Great debuts from Hamish Gibson & Chris Barkley.
That's 2023 in the books. – at Hamsterley, England
A 3-2 defeat in Glasgow versus Piraten. Good performances all round from this lot. Two goals from @ciaranxyz. We go again, etc. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

We're back in Glasgow this Saturday for a hotly anticipated clash with our friendly foes at Glasgow Piraten! Expect swashbuckling play from both sides. ☠️🤜🤛✍️
Yass @ClashCityClarky! 🏆👏 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

You know its bad when they ask you if you want to stop the match. I mean, how do you solve a problem like a 9-1 defeat to Austria? Well, we indulged them in some Scottish and gaelic poetry so at least we could curse them in their ignorance. And then we drank their wine. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Buccaneering @ScotWritersFC are playing in Vienna, Saturday 27th May 430, against the Austrian Writers. If you want to come watch great. Due to injuries, if you are Scottish-y and Writer-y near Vienna and would like to play, there's a 1986 Scotland strip waiting on you. PM me!
A brave, battling, etc. performance in Edinburgh today wasn't enough to overcome a clinical @HotScotsFC. A 7-3 loss of now in the books.
Thanks to all who donned the 1986 navy blue. ⚽🏴 – at Edinburgh, Scotland
Always a pleasure to play our @HotScotsFC friends . . . whatever the result. – at Edinburgh, Scotland
Great win today against our friends @ScotWritersFC
Final score 7-3
Goals for HotScots from Tom, Liam x4, Max x2.
Thanks for the game!
@PlanetEdinburgh
After the Edinburgh derby, comes another titanic clash in the nation's capital today as we take on @HotScotsFC - 3pm, Peffermill. Set off early to avoid the traffic. – at Edinburgh, Scotland
Our thanks to @GlasgowPiraten for a thrilling 5-5 draw today - played in the best spirit as always. Until next time! ⚽☠️ – at Glasgow, Scotland
