Is this UK only ?? Check out Ijsselmere Vogels and Spakenberg https://www.google.com/maps/@52.2565148,5.3773245,258m/data=!3m1!1e3

A few from my work in Northern Norway erecting power lines on the mountains between Tromso and Alta. Not a bad office every day ?

More to think about..How will Brexit affect the Kolpack ruling which allows players from the Pacific Islands under ACP / Association Agreements with the EU to play in the UK. Will all the PI guys in Super League be under threat ??? Cricket and union also have a lot of ACP players playing in the UK .

Example Lancashire Cup.. https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/competitions/lancashire-cup/summary.html Then click on the game and its all detailed.

Den Haag Knights 2017

Alan Rowley at 10 John Dobie 13 and who is the number 3 ??

Alan Varty from Broughton Red Rose came back from the 1978 PNG BARLA tour as BARLA player of the season. Leigh Miners website has a piece on it ..http://www.leighminersrangers.net/openage/remember-when-4/

Interesting.........Den Haag Knights and Amsterdam Cobra's photo on the "About us page". It seems the General Manager played in the Netherlands on tour for Durham University in a game which I refereed a few years ago and from what I am led to believe is now studying in Maastricht were he is looking to set up a club. With that info I am suprised he has none of the Rotterdam or Brussels shirts on sale. Den Haag and Amsterdam both used union club shirts last season.

I know nowt :-(

Could be worse....Joe Kinnear Footbal Director....poor Toon fans.

Holland made eleven changes to their starting line up for the final group game against Spain. Strange very strange...now with the 3-0 defeat they face a decent Italian side in the semi final rather than the easier (on paper) Norwegians. Still take the Dutch to win the tournament but how far behind are we when Holland can field TWO competitive elevens in the tournament and we struggle to get one decent eleven on the park.

Hmmmm Not heard that one over here .....

Knew what you meant :-) Had some good times with Big Frank Foster at Barrow in the 80's so a Barrow accent is easy to wuk oot...

"Germany's group had spain and Holland in it, one giant was bound to go out and it had to be then." Spain left it late in both their 1-0 games v Russia and Germany( 82 & 86 minutes). Germany 0-2 behind the Dutch at half time then dominated the second half and got back to 2-2, then lost it in the 90th minute. Lot of squeaky bums here in the Netherlands for that game ...believe me. Big surprise them going home early. Saying that the Dutch look strong...up against the holders Spain on Wednesday...

TWELVE of the Dutch under 21's have senior caps and I was reading that the Norwegian under 21's that were in the squad for WC Qualifier in Albania on Friday went straight to Israel to play for the under 21 team.Maybe they want to win the tournament or maybe they have pride in representing their national team at all levels.

Luke Shaw, Callum McManaman, Andros Townsend, Raheem Sterling,Jack Wilshere, Phil Jones, Danny Welbeck, Jack Rodwell, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kyle Walker. TEN players for one reason or another who are not at the under 21 Finals...no wonder we cant win tournament football.

Dutch 3-2 winners ..cracking match in a group which includes Spain and Russia (1-0)

Poor show from the Under 21s last night.After gong into the tournament on the back off a nine game unbeaten run with NO goals against more was expected. Even Stuart Pearce has described them as "Aweful". Still wins against Israel and Norway will see them through to the semi finals where Holland or Germany could be waiting for them. Rose ,Ince and Zaha still to come in. Holland v Germany tonight is a big game and you could be watching the two final teams.

Right on the coast here gingerjon..its a good 100cm away from the shore...go in land and its pretty deep.Next week they are expecting four foot up the north !!!!!! Apparently this years snow fall has been light but a lot more expected. Flew out of Oslo airport on friday and the runways where constantly beimg kept open by an army of snow ploughs. I suppose Scandinavian countries know how to handle snow better than the UK.Here in Holland any light snow causes havoc with the transport system...especialy the road network.The Dutch also bracing themselves for a Siberian cold snap later this week.

Snow..you want snow ha ha.....been working in the north of Norway since the new year.Snow all around but the locals are expecting a big white out in the next few weeks.As Paley rightly stated its coming in from Siberia..Alta (69° 56′ 25″ N, 23° 18′ 38″ E) was -17 last week during the day.Northern Lights starting to show also. Snow is coming and the UK will proberbly come to a stand still

13 lights Halifax band thats doing a short tour of Holland in the spring....the drummer actually is a RL referee who made his international debut in Holland ...go TIM and the boys from 13 Lights Play Northern Sound...should be a RL Anthem (oops we not Northern no more ).....toppy mate

Thanks to paley Plan B TOP SOUNDS MATE

Watch the difference between the presentation of the Super league GF and the NRL GF. Enough said. Down under wins by a country mile.

Shaun been there done that marra...looked at all the time tables...trains and buses wont get out of county guys to the game in time and as for return its a no go. Maybe an over night stop in Ellenboro is needed.
