i,m Stephen,a 36 year old fan of Cowdenbeath in Scottish Division 2(and looking like theyll stay there this season!),a team AKA "the blue brazil".I'm actually from Inverness in the Highlands rather than Fife and was originally a fan of local team Caledonian who played in the Highland League but then in the early 90s they merged with Inverness Thistle so i was left without a club.Been supporting Cowden for 10 years now and footballs fun again.
I also continue to watch a lot of Highland League football,especially when im skint as its cheap to get into and usually pretty entertaining.
Ive a keen interest in European and world football,honed by my monthly reading of WS which ive been getting since 1986.I also love international football although i feel the quality of the world cup has been decreasing for years.Similarly,my long standing love of Italian football has been sorely tested in this last year by the shenanigans there.
I feel footballs biggest problems nowadays are an almost institutionalised acceptance of cheating and by the way that top division football continues to distance itself from its traditional grass-roots support
