Another Bloody Saturday: A Journey to the Heart and Soul of Football
Another Bloody Saturday is a book celebrating all that makes football the sport that it is. It explores the passions and devotion of those that support a team, a nation, a dream. By exploring football in the lower leagues and non-league, as well as lesser known clubs and nations abroad, the book attempts to reveal the true soul of football that is often lost among the glitz and glamour of the premier League and the Champions League. Ultimately, Another Bloody Saturday is about all that makes football so captivating and all-encompassing to so many, making a supporter’s team and club a near religion. A small selection of clubs featured include: Accrington Stanley, Bangor City, Partick Thistle, Tibetan National Team, Bhutan National Team, Bristol Rovers and Arsenal Ladies.

Football is not just a game of 11 vs 11 bodies of flesh exhausting themselves physically and mentally for straight ninety minutes after a ball. There is football we watch on television, alone or with known ones, watching a nineteen year old whose market value is almost equivalent to the eleven players of opposition who are trying to get the ball off from his feet. At front of that television set we all are football pundits for ninety minutes. There is no denying in that.
If you are football fanatic, in ninety minutes you are going to feel each and every emotion inside us- anger, ecstasy, astonishment, aversion, admiration, vigilance and yet one game is not enough. Similarly, Mat Guy in the title Another Bloody Saturday expresses himself through the beautiful game in various anecdotes collected over his famous blog Dreams Victoria Park.
Football isn’t about the Premier League or the El Classico. Though that’s all we can watch on television but the world of football is much more vast than that. It’s a whole universe in itself. There are teams which are part of the sport for the passionate people who love it. Such teams and green fields are explored by Mat Guy in his book. He tells us about his experiences and match telecasts of teams such as Welsh Bangor City and Icelandic UMF Stjarnan.
From Glasgow to Northern Cyprus, Bhutan to the Faroe Islands, Mat discovered the same hope, sense of community, and love of the game that first led him to a life in the stands at Salisbury FC’s Victoria Park, where his own passion for football was formed.
The most amazing thing about Mat’s journey is that he finds a football club that he can enjoy as a football club, for his love of the sport, regardless of the money the club spend on its players. Mat’s love for Accrington Stanely which he himself likes to call a ‘spiritual’ attachment, is more like finding a true essence, something very abstract but one feels attached to it.
I always believed that, in game of football, a passionate lover of this sport, is tend to follow two clubs. One he follows, and one he is spiritually attached. With latter one might end up enjoying more. Mat Guy’s book is a well written prose for the fans of the game.

I received an ebook version from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have been a casual fan of soccer (which I'll call football for the rest of this review) for only a short period of time. It has been on the radar but way in the distance. For some reason this year my love for football has grown stronger, watching the MLS playoffs then the Premier League and Bundesliga, I have grown into a fan of watching on television, getting donuts and coffee on a Saturday morning to watch the televised Tottenham or Borussia Dortmund games. Mat Guy's hypothesis is that even though this is fine, there is nothing better than to follow a smaller club, one in the neighborhood that needs your financial help as well as your support. He proves this theory by going to smaller games throughout Europe and a bit in Asia, watching clubs that are small but interesting and writing about them. The purpose of this adventure for him is that his local team Salisbury had defunct and left him without a team to root for on a weekly basis. The way that he described the atmosphere of all of the games, even those with 50 to 100 people in the stands made me think about my local football team. The Kokomo Mantis FC play in a stadium within walking distance from my house. I missed the entire inaugural season last year, and to Guy, this is a tragedy. All teams, especially the small ones need support, and as he explained all of this travels, I realized that I needed to get Manis season tickets and not only understand Mat Guy's point of view but act upon it.
I enjoyed reading this book, the short chapters stood alone, so this makes it feel more like a short story collection, a bit choppy from chapter to chapter, but that is expected. There are two standout chapters smack in the middle of the book, where he goes to watch the Tibetan national team and when he takes a friend who has been through a traumatic event in her life and they meet a footballer who is returning from his own traumatic even and how the two become friends through the love of football. Those two chapters will stand out for me long after the book is finished and I am moving onto other stories because they really evoke the human spirit and emotions of being part of a community, even when you do not know everyone. That is the angle that Guy does not explore but I will say. He has proven that through this sport, everyone is part of a community, and even when we are down or going through tough times, it feels as if football can carry us through.

An endearing travelogue/diary recounting Mat’s footballing journey through the 2014-15 season. The book really comes to life in his accounts of his pilgrimages to watch Accrington Stanley - all the more impressive when you appreciate that Accrington is quite a step from Southampton. Rather than dwelling on petty rivalries and big name teams, Mat’s book focuses on football’s ability at all levels to transcend cultural barriers and unite fans from different backgrounds. The links that he forms with a fledgling football club in Bhutan are amazing.
I share in Mat’s delight in watching lower league football and appreciate the vital roles these unfashionable teams fill in their communities. As we come to the end of a year when attending football matches can no longer be taken for granted and some of the teams mentioned here like Bury have gone to the wall, this book reminds us of the simple life-enhancing pleasures to be derived from an afternoon at the footie.

“Football is, unwittingly and to so many people, a therapy for life. It always has been, and let’s hope it always will. As long as you have your team, and next Saturday, then other things don’t seem quite so bad.”
Fittingly the song on the radio as I finished the book was “The Longshot” by the Megsons...so apt; and the above quote from the book resonates so strongly too. I joke that following Sligo Rovers from a young age set me up for life...so many moments where all hope was lost; and we came through. So many times I figured we’d have an easy match or a good season and yet we struggled badly and went down. But there’s always next Saturday, there’s always next season. Thank you Mat for such a love letter not just to football clubs and the souls who support them, but to life and all it encompasses.

Its soo hard to put into words just how much football means to me, for years I've contemplated the answer to the question, what does football mean to you and why? In future I will simply hand this book to anyone who asks me that question because Mat Guy explains it perfectly, he takes you through the emotion, through the escape football brings, through the adrenaline rush and the unique relationships fans have with the players. This book is football explained clearly and the reason why so many people in the world love it soo much!

As someone who has supported a football team that has been in the top flight for all of my life, reading this book opened my eyes to a different approach to supporting team. Ironically, I’d recently started watching a local non-league team and found the difference incredible.
The book is brilliant. There are a couple of chapters that are very touching. Mat builds a real affinity with people, teams and even nations in his book.
Loved it.

Football as it used to be!
An interesting read which reminded me of how football used to be. I enjoyed reading how there are still players and teams who can still relate to the public who give up there time and money to watch football every week. I was also interested to read about some of the teams Mat had played for/against as they were also teams that I'd played against.

I found this book so very interesting. Mainly focussing on lower league games, Mat Guy writes with such passion for 'the beautiful game'. Fans of lower league football should definitely give this a read.

Really enjoyed this book. Especially during this period of lockdown. Makes me yearn to watch any live football. Took me back to the days of watching both Crawley (non-league then) and Horsham. Special times.

It can be a bit ‘old man yells at cloud’ at times, but it is a story with a ton of character and great characters and soul and a tale that has aged well both in terms of what was believed and what would stand the test of time. I enjoyed going on the journey!

I was there
Very good read,I felt like I was there seeing everything as it happened,especially the stories of Accrington,and a trip up there is on my to do list.

Although it's offers a insight into somewhat unusual aspects of football. Ie women's. Minor nations and local leagues. It does somewhat seem to be repetitive.

I am a huge football fan, but this book is just one man's trips round some obscure football grounds without much happening in the process. Gave up two thirds of the way in

Jaunty travelogue from a fan's perspective. Very good on the women's game.

I received this book free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I chose this book because I consider myself a fan of soccer. I don't believe I knew before how different American soccer truly is from British football. I envy the British version!
As an American reader, much of the (admirably personal) vignettes of Guy's year attending several games around and beyond the country tended to cause more confusion than it clarified. Sure, there were team names I couldn't recognize, British grammatical constructs I had to reread to understand, various levels of a league system I don't understand. But I think what confounded me the most was the apparent disconnect from chapter to chapter, as Guy connected his games as they progressed through the season, rather than by location or theme. The changes were occasionally quite abrupt, as we turned from an international event several countries away, then to a women's competition, to a local match, to a less-local but preferred field, and then to repeat apparently in a random fashion. Often stories were hinted at several chapters before they were actually treated, which resulted in several instances of deja vu by the end of the book. I was sure I'd already heard his stories somewhere.
However, it would not be fair of me to completely disparage Guy's account. The book was what I hoped it'd be, holistically. I wanted to know the importance football could play in a person's life, and Guy certainly described that. He recounted the ways football had provided sanctuary after emotional events in his life, had united friends and family (not to mention strangers and countries), and had branched international boundaries. The book's cause is rooted in the demise of his childhood club, which he'd attended with a beloved grandfather before he began to suffer from dementia. He spends a significant portion of the pages describing his search for a new local club to claim as his own, though he detours to recount international matches in the further reaches of the eastern hemisphere. He chooses a new club in the sixth chapter, but departs from it often enough that he must re-introduce it later in the book to remind his readers of its importance. And remind he does, many times and about many subtopics -- his grandfather, his father, his love of programmes, his fear of mascots, how long it takes to drive somewhere.
Two things I will take after reading this book? I want a friend like Emma to entertain my long car rides. Also, many this summer I will find some similar local games, where neighborhood teams are just looking to enjoy a beautiful game -- though they will sadly lack the competitiveness of teams working to advance in league tables.

There have been books like this before now, that purport to advertise the virtues of the amateur, non-corporate game. Football, having changed so much since the good old days when everybody could get a good place on the stands, a programme, a pie and pint and still have the bus fare home left from their farthing, has now become a huge sector of the entertainment industry, and as luck would have it there are about as many IMAX cinema screens in the country as there are football teams likely to win anything. But the difference with this book, starting as it does at the most humble and lowly of grounds, working your way up through pre-season Euro qualifiers, and pre-season friendlies, to the bigger stuff, actually makes you want to dust your anorak off and spend a weekend in Nuneaton watch the whodjammacallits play the thingumabobs. (Well, I'd probably prefer a trip to understand how rivalry amongst locals on the Faroe Islands plays out, but our author has been there and done that already, and it's great reading.) Our guide to all these lower league shenanigans, trying hard to recreate the spirit his grandfather felt beyond the turnstiles, is great company, and with the other international writing featured here clearly a decent journalist and heartfelt decent bloke. The only flaw here is the hyperbole that creeps into things, with too many people making Messi (sorry, I meant Vardy) styled attacks and challenges. This is certainly too evident when he looks at women's football – I'm sorry, I saw the last World Cup and it was Conference level at best. But that standard is about the average of the games featured in this season-long trip, and the result is knocking on the European playoffs, quality-wise.

I was excited to receive this ebook having loved football from as early as I can remember. It reads somewhat like a blog, with each chapter being stand alone yet with a constant theme; the love of football, and lower league football at that. Having watched local teams in the Hellenic league right up to my team at Old Trafford many times, I know first hand it draws in the widest mix of people, all for that one reason, the game.
Guy takes us on a journey not only up the length of the country, but across the world. The chapters on Bhutan and the visit to the Faroe Islands were a great insight into an otherwise unknown territory for me.
My only reservation on the context is the suggestive way Guy says everyone should abandon watching the games on the tele and down the pub and get out to watch local teams. I'm all for that, having done it many times myself, but unless you're loaded and have most saturdays free, a vehicle and family or friends interested in going too, it just don't always play out that you can go. Lower tier teams rely on gate money, and program sales exactly as Guy shows us with the likes of Accrington Stanley, but for some its not an option that arrises all too often.
I will watch the results trickle in on a saturday afternoon with an extra close eye on the teams highlighted within the pages of this book over the next few seasons. If you like me love football and relish game days, this book is for you.

Being a fan of English non-league football, I always enjoy reading books describing the antics of so called “groundhoppers” i.e. those who attend matches at as many different stadiums or grounds as possible.
In Another Bloody Saturday, Mat Guy travels the length and breadth of this country and goes even further afield, taking in matches that would most likely never be featured on live TV and would only gain a short mention at best elsewhere. On the way he gains a love of Accrington Stanley (who are they?) and finds that he has an affinity for women’s football.
I very much enjoyed the author’s style of writing. Many similar books just describe the journey to the ground, thoughts on the stadium and the story of the match, whereas here there is so much more to enjoy.
For any true football fan, this book is a pleasure to read, although it should also appeal to anyone with just a passing interest in lower level football as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and fully recommend it.
I was given an advance digital copy of this book by the publisher Luath Press (via Netgalley) in return for an honest, unbiased review.

A lovely book which took me back to the days before TV coverage and big payouts took all the fun away.
I remember going to local village matches with dad and granddad, then later suffering, with my then boyfriend and now after many years, husband, 90 minutes of watching our favourite teams slogging away on usually rainsoaked pitches (as were we!), not winning that many games.
This book brings it all back. The footballers of today don't know they're born!
Great nostalgic read!
