100,000 Glasgow Rangers fans descend on Manchester. Final Score Rangers 0 Zenit St. Petersburg 2. Unfortunately it turned quite nasty after the game, with some rioting and violence, the mess and litter left behind was unforgivable. Despite a positive start, the event turned out to be memorable for the wrong reasons.

Glasgow Rangers supporters have started turning up in droves today for tomorrows UEFA Cup Final against Zenit St. Petersburg. Noisy, but so far pretty well behaved….Political songs being sung, a very different atmosphere from the Brighton Beach bar.

Latitude 50° 6′6.78″NLongitude 14°25′42.09″E So, I spent a few weeks in Prague armed with my recorder. What did I capture? Not much really, I ended up far too busy to even think about recording. I did try and record a journey on one of the marvellous trams…ruined by a passenger with a hacking cough. I did record some rain and storms, but I have lots of this stuff and it didn’t turn out as well as my other similar recordings. But… One evening just before Scenofest opened I managed to get back to my apartment for a quick nap before going out to eat. As I lay in bed, eyes shut, I heard a sound that could’ve placed me virtually anywhere in the world, the sound of some kids kicking a football against a wall. This is, in my opinion a truly global sound, not influenced in any way by location or time.
