Forth Wanderers
Forth Wanderers Football Club are a Scottish football club based in the village of Forth, South Lanarkshire. Formed in 1904 they compete in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association and play in red strips (uniforms) with a white trim.

Since 1934 they have played at Kingshill Park in the village,[1] however they have had to share with Carluke Rovers for a spell and play on a public park in Carnwath when this ground proved unusable.

Forth have supplied two Scottish international goalkeepers in George Wood and Rab Douglas.[2][3] Rangers legend Willie Waddell came from the village and starred for the team in his pre-Ibrox days.[4]

Wanderers reached the semi-finals of the Scottish Junior Cup in 1981 and their home quarter-final tie versus East Kilbride Thistle attracted a record crowd of 2,324.[5]

The sky (or celestial dome) is everything that lies a certain distance[clarification needed] above the surface of the Earth, including the atmosphere and outer space. In the field of astronomy, the sky is also called the celestial sphere. This is an imaginary dome where the sun, stars, planets, and the moon are seen to be traveling. The celestial sphere is conventionally divided into regions called constellations. Usually, the term sky is used from the point of view of the Earth's surface; however, the exact meaning of the term can vary. For example, in some cases the sky is defined as only the denser portions of the atmosphere.

During daylight, the sky appears to be blue because air scatters blue sunlight more than it scatters red.[1][2][3][4] At night, the sky appears to be a mostly dark surface or region scattered with stars. During the day, the Sun can be seen in the sky, unless obscured by clouds. In the night sky (and to some extent during the day) the moon, planets and stars are visible in the sky. Some of the natural phenomena seen in the sky are clouds, rainbows, and aurorae. Lightning and precipitation can also be seen in the sky

    For the Egyptians, astronomy went beyond wonder and legend. The Egyptians began by focusing on certain gods, represented by the stars, and used them for legends/myths/stories about the daily lives of those gods, etc. Egyptians later began using astronomy in nearly everything they did. From a religious aspect, to building an amazing structure, where a certain light can be seen from it maybe only once a year. It was not only the night sky that was important to the Egyptians. Every being in the sky was important to them, including the horizon, the positioning of the sun, the moon, and the stars and planets. Ex; once the Sun had set, it…

    To understand why “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” can predict the weather, we have to understand more about weather and the colors in the sky. The colors you notice in the sky are due to rays of sunlight being split into colors of the spectrum as they pass through the atmosphere and bounce off the water vapor and particles in the atmosphere. The amounts of water vapor and dust particles in the atmosphere are good indicators of weather conditions. They also determine which colors we will see in the sky. When there is a sunrise or sunset the sun is low in the sky and it transmits light through the thickest part of the atmosphere. If there is a red sky that means that there is more dust and moisture particles in the atmosphere. We see the red, because red wavelengths are breaking through the atmosphere. Red wavelengths are the longest color in the color hue. The shorter wavelengths, such as blue, are scattered and divided up.…

    The first recorded incident of a large scale crowd fight was in 1909 with Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers. Scotland’s first organised firm was Aberdeen (Aberdeen Soccer Casuals) which included Punks and skinheads. The ‘casual’ name became a big part in it because they wore casual clothing such as big brands known as Fila, Lacoste, ellesse and Adidas original. In this clothing they were disguised and had no trouble with police and now that there fights were organised it was bound to happen. The other Scottish firms such as St.Mirren (Love Street Division), Clyde (Shawfield Shed End Boys), Dundee and Dundee United (Dundee Utility), Celtic (Celtic Soccer crew), Rangers (ICF Inter City Firm), Hibernian (Capital City Service), Motherwell (Saturday Service), Partick Thistle (North Glasgow Express), Falkirk (fear) And Dunfermline (Carnegie Soccer service), but topping all those firms was the victorious ASC Aberdeen Soccer Casuals.…

    soccer clubs used to contest the semi-final of the FA Cup at a neutral venue, and in 1989 Hillsborough was selected by the soccer. While opposing supporters were segregated in the stadium, Liverpool fans were allocated the Leppings Lane stand, reached by a limited number of turnstiles.Entry to the ground was slow due to the few decrepit turnstiles available to the Liverpool fans which caused dangerous overcrowding outside the ground before kick-off. In an attempt to ease pressure outside the ground, Chief Superintendent Duckenfield ordered an exit gate to be opened. The opened exit gate led to a tunnel marked "Standing" which led directly to the two already overcrowded enclosures (pens). In previous years the tunnel had been closed off by police when the two central pens were full, however on this occasion the tunnel was unmanned.…

    The leading individual behind the idea of having a singing section was none other than one of the fans, Pete Boyle, who is well known amongst the fan base for making up many of the current chants. At half time in the game against West Brom towards the end of September, Pete made an announcement about the trial of the singing section. He explained that while the Stretford End, where I sit during home matches, was often singing, the sound tended not to travel around the whole stadium. Therefore he advocated a singing section in the south-east quadrant at the other end of the stadium where the harmonics are believed to be the best.…
