  4. Good morning from the office ☕

    Today, we are zooming in a bit.

    If you look closely, you'll see a long, flat green tiered area carved into the hillside in the center of the picture. This is the legendary natural grandstand of the "Hohe Warte Stadium", where, in 1923, 85,000 spectators watched a match against Italy at this very location.
    The stadium is home of the "First Vienna Football-Club 1894", Austria's oldest football team.

  8. Dundee’s 532 Design Partners with SPFL to Launch ‘Crowd Legends’ Mobile Game

    A unique opportunity for Scottish football fans to build their ultimate dream team has arrived, as Dundee-based developer 532 Design announces the launch of Crowd Legends: Club Football in partnership with the Scottish Premier Football League (SPFL).

    The new mobile game allows fans to mix and match today’s top SPFL players with the League’s all-time greats, pitting squads featuring legends like Henrik Larsson, Paul Gascoigne, and Russell Latapy against modern-day stars in daily crowd-voted matches. The concept tests fans’ strategy skills as they pick their line-up and show off their knowledge by predicting the outcome of other people’s matches.

    Crowd Legends: Home Win!

    The partnership is a significant ‘home win’ for 532 Design. The studio, headquartered in Europe’s gaming capital, Dundee, was founded by veterans of smash hit sports titles, including the BAFTA-winning Championship Manager, Dream League Soccer, and Score Hero.

    “We couldn’t be happier to be launching Crowd Legends on home turf, working with the SPFL,” said Brian McNicoll, 532 Design Founder and CEO.

    Scottish football fans are the best in the world in terms of enthusiasm and knowledge. We know they’re going to love picking their daily dream team of current and classic players.

    The collaboration ensures the game authentically represents the history of the League, a factor highly valued by the SPFL.

    Neil Doncaster, Group Chief Executive of the SPFL, added:

    We are delighted to launch this new licence deal with 532 Design. The opportunity to partner with a successful design studio based in Scotland on this concept was a major factor in our support. Crowd Legends: Club Football is an exciting addition to Scottish football fandom and represents a unique way for supporters to interact beyond the match day.

    Adding to its authenticity, the game features ambassadors including Scotland and Dundee United legend Christian Dailly, alongside Jackie McNamara and Craig Levein.

    I’ve played alongside some of Scotland’s greatest footballers and often thought about who would make my all-time dream team. I love that I can now bring that squad to life with Crowd Legends: Club Football.

    Christian Dailly.

    The project received early recognition, scooping a £75,000 prize to support its development at the prestigious Scottish EDGE entrepreneurship competition.

    Crowd Legends: Club Football is available now from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

  16. @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon ...and Willie played football for his school, which is why I noticed the particular headgear. I also notice that, in this pic, Willie is wearing more than one layer of clothing, so probably was padded as well. Willie was in school at the time Red Grange was already being celebrated for his pigskin skills. Grange was born in the early 1900s. #FootballHistory

  20. Arsène Wenger's idea of Daylight Offside is back in the media and false expectations and false facts are circulating again.

    ➡️ Daylight Offside - like "same level" or "thicker calibrated lines" - only shifts the point of discussion about marginal offside a few millimetres towards the goal.
