I watched Saltcoats Victoria v Royal Albert in the bottom tier of Scottish football. The West Of Scotland League Division Four never fails to disappoint! #football #soccer #sports
He reminded me of ‘Fergie’ when he managed Falkirk! That manager is brilliant !!! Chelsea, get on the plane… thanks Sam, your joy is infectious… your ok for an Englishman 😉
Can’t thank Sam Hailes of Footy Adventures enough for his two visits to Campbell Park. Loved my crazy celebration being on the record! 😂 - Don Currie, Club Chaplain & Secretary, Saltcoats Victoria FC
Another great video Sam. If I may suggest a game for next Saturday 21/10 if you don't have any plans yet: there is a HUGE game in Dundee between numbers 1 and 2 in the Midlands League: Lochee United v Broughty Athletic. Lochee United are 1 point ahead in the table, both have been in good form with only 1 draw for Lochee United and 1 defeat for Broughty and all other games won. Both had a stoppage time win today, Broughty over Forfar United (2-1), while Lochee United even scored 2 in stoppage time against Tayport to turn over a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win in front of 400ish fans. If Lochee United win the league & the subsequent play-off, we can become the first Dundee team in the Highland League. Broughty are (currently) ineligible for promotion as they don't have an SFA license.
Its mad that there are only 4 teams that can get into the HL due to licensing (Lochee, Golspie. Fort William and Tayport) don't think any of the Aberdeen clubs qualify. Id suggest finding a good bus company sponsor Wick and Brora are treks for you!
@@LB1973 Yeah, there would be some long journeys for us. We've played away at Wick in the Scottish Cup last season already and I made a weekend of it. Brechin would be a good one for us though, effectively our local derby.
Watching this makes me miss the absolute mayhem and competition of the game at this level. Everybody scraps for every wee decision and everyone has each others back. Congrats on the win lads.
I attended this game as I am a Royal Albert fan. Wish I noticed you were there and I would've come and said Hi. Ps if my at times foul language was picked up at any time then I apologise however watching that sort of performance every week takes its toll
Sam, I’m delighted you came back to witness and share the progress Saltcoats have made. Bryan, the squad, the coaches and everyone behind the scenes have been working so hard. Over the moon they got a win and you can see how much it means. Thanks again for following the journey
The bottom tier series is the best footy content on TH-cam. Well done Sam, highlighting the very best of Scottish fitba far better than a bitter Motherwell fanzine ever will.
Class! Struck gold yesterday with this. Keep making videos like this and I'll keep watching. Your fantastic coverage of the lower levels of Scottish football is your USP. I tend to skip over the Old Firm ones, it's unfortunate you need them to build the channel.
My Grandparents and cousins all come from Ardrossan and Saltcoats. Love this. The wee man was awesome as was the guy going there for 50 years and the Saltcoats manager Brian. Brilliant. Football at it's best.
Hey Footy, great to see more bottom tier content. Honestly, you're the best channel on TH-cam! I know it's hard to come up with new ideas but just know we'll always support you!
Well, I have a Scottish team to support now too. Great video Sir, I now intend to watch 'em, (which will be fun in a 37 year old campervan from London).
Great to see the Vics get a result, well deserved for all those involved. Don't like astroturf but think it would be a good thing for them to get local people more involved. The park always feels a little bit out of the way and maybe forgotten about.
Mate, I absolutely love what you do for the Scottish game. You are an inspiration. Shining a light on all the levels throughout Scottish footy. Keep up the great work. Maybe one day I can shake our hand.
Rangers and Celtic and in fact, ALL top-tier teams should be shown your video to show them what football is all about and not just lining your pockets to get the latest Ferrari or gold Rolex. Keep them coming wee man
Yeah!!!Good friend Sam,I am extremely so happy to see you uploading a few videos regarding the bottom tier and I have already knew some of the respective teams!!!A fantastic match of course and I am getting updated to the Non League Scottish football of course,good friend!!!LONG LIVE SCOTTISH LEAGUE FOOTBALL,GOOD FRIEND!!!🏋♂️
Excellent vid Sam! Well done Saltcoat Vics. Seems like they are improving their ground too. Great stuff. The manager,Brian,seems like a Scottish Paul Cook.
Excellent. This eclipses any coverage of the so predictable top tier. I have zero interest in anything about the Old Firm. So refreshing to hear enthusiasm overflowing here amid a proper setting. I checked on Wikipedia and both sides have a great history going back 145 years … and some success to report
Great ! I love these teams unknown outside local area. Maybe not this, but some league 3or4 stadiums in Britain are bigger than top division teams in Croatia or Bosnia 😂
What would be made for this TH-cam channel at this point would be any Highland League game anywhere, anytime, like one of the oldest leagues in the world instead of the 500th video of a recently created central belt sub division of random clubs who did not evolve together. Respect the history.
Great content and the passion at the lowest level is far more than the top level. That young kid spoke really well so he might have a commentators job in years to come😂.
Would you say that if it was Ipswich (or whoever ITFC are ) winning their league that much , no you wouldn't. You've posted more than enough times on this channel so I suspect you are just being a fud
Sam - YT brought this vid to me. It was a wonderful look-in on amateur football. I loved the long-time fan, the young fan and the manager. Great passion, camraderie and loyalty. Well done. Subscribed.
Fan, manager, young boy - all class. I'm thinking football is a fantastic escape from some of our current environments. Keep this going, Sam, love it. And well done to Scotland for the Euros. Respect from County Durham, Hail, hail 🍀
My local team is Mallaig playing summer football in the Skye and Lochalsh League. I will be off to watch Fort William v Inverness FC this weekend. Love the stories, love the game
Wish I could start with one of these teams in Football Manager. I love to start with a team in Vanarama south or north in England and try bringing them all the way to Premier League
CONTENT IDEA: A series of ‘What does a xxx do?’ Find out what a match secretary, chairman, assistant coach, catering manager, physio, etc, etc does on match days or in the lead up to match days. All levels from the national team to the bottom of WoSFL4.
Sam with yes since 4k subs. I knew ye would blow up. Hope to see you back in ireland soon we can go to a shelbourne fc game now owned by hulls owners with damien duff as manager 🤣🇮🇪
Mental to see another video of you in Saltcoats again. Also can't believe you sat in Sandylands restaurant 🤣 I used to work there still work with the same company so big shout out there...another class video Sam your content is one of the main ones I watch out for daily 👍✌️
Massive credit to that bloke who's been supporting them for 50 years.
Still beaming over that famous 4-5 win 20 years ago !
That young lad, he was class. And the manager, the passion he has is brilliant
He reminded me of ‘Fergie’ when he managed Falkirk! That manager is brilliant !!! Chelsea, get on the plane… thanks Sam, your joy is infectious… your ok for an Englishman 😉

Good 2 c u again Don on footy adventures,im the brother of Gordon Hamilton,keep well
Sir, you're an absolute legend, and there isn't a supporter here who won't have known how that felt.
Isn't Sam's surname North?
That wee lad spoke really well. Love this sort of video Sam
Came to say the exact same!
That's a fantastic speech by Bryan Slavin. Brilliant knowledge and passion
Another brilliant video.
The enthusiasm of everyone involved in these clubs is a joy to see.
This is real football.

Yes we heard it me and my young family are appalled and deeply offended by your behaviour.
people like that 50 year supporter are the heart and soul of football
Sam, I’m delighted you came back to witness and share the progress Saltcoats have made. Bryan, the squad, the coaches and everyone behind the scenes have been working so hard. Over the moon they got a win and you can see how much it means. Thanks again for following the journey
The young lad will make a great pundit. I love these videos of lower league. Keep it up
Considering he supports the Rangers, I'm surprised the BBC haven't already signed him up. 🙄

Haha I know what a legend
The managers enthusiasm was infectious! Seems like a great club with great staff
That young man has a future in football 😂😂

Best football vlogger in the industry, this is what footballs all about
That young lad proper knew his stuff! Good to see they have a good fan base going, even if they are small
Excellent vid Sam! Well done Saltcoat Vics. Seems like they are improving their ground too. Great stuff.
The manager,Brian,seems like a Scottish Paul Cook.

Hats off to the young man. Some good knowledge there 👏
This was your best video to date a real feelgood story.
As a Saltcoats boy, great to see you visit and capture a great win for the vics. ❤
Fifty pounds non league challenge next maybe?😊
You should go on the Highland League podcast to talk about Scottish football 😮
really like the manager! love the passion
Great ! I love these teams unknown outside local area. Maybe not this, but some league 3or4 stadiums in Britain are bigger than top division teams in Croatia or Bosnia 😂
'ref, your a prick!' ...i was howling at that lol
Top young lad supporting his local 👏
The young lad better than any female presenter on mainstream TV😎
The manager at the end is what non league football is all about 👏
Was baltic at locos v banks o'dee in the Highland league today

Uploaded a highland league video 2 days ago, check it out below!

@@FootyAdventures Great stuff!! I'll check it out.
Brilliant Sam , thee only English player from Borehamwood 😂😂👍 , I wrote a message in your last video Grantown on Spey ,
Rumour has it Caley players were throwing games to get rid of Dodds. Most fans are glad they did. Big Dunc is the man.
Great content and the passion at the lowest level is far more than the top level. That young kid spoke really well so he might have a commentators job in years to come😂.
The royal Albert lad taking a swing at him 😂 Scottish lower league football at its finest.
Think u should visit bellshill athletic and Rockburn Park, as my father used to play for them and my brother currently plays for them
Wow, I've just stumbled across this, what a great video. I'm going to be binge watching your channel this evening.
Goddamn can't help but to feel happy for Bryan. It's amazing when good things happen for a team like his.
Great video! I think I'm moving to Scotland 😅
Great interview by the young lad! Fair play to the fan who's supported them for nearly 50 yrs!
C'mon the Saltcoats Victoriaaaah! In memory of Fearless and all forgotten former fans.
Do me favour pal go to old Trafford one last time and say goodbye to the club R.I.P Manchester United the glazers and sir Jim have killed us
Support fc united of Manchester or fisher fc then 😊
@@BALHAM69 I might just do that
Manchester United died yrs back the logo for yrs isn't the theatre of dreams,it is we want your money,the theatre of nightmares.😮
Would love to see some eccentric billionaire pick a club at random at this level and invest 300k a year to see where it goes !
Absolutely superb video, great folk.
Brilliant kid you interviewed there. Loved it all, thank you.
Bryan is a legend!! What an amazing human. Has hole got a twitter account?
Proper loads up champ manager cough football manager moment after the game.
It doesn’t matter if somethings been done before on TH-cam it’s how you put your own spin on the vidoe
You dinna need unique ideas sam just keep doing what your doing!!
Real fitbaw
Bryan Slavin Talbot legend and future gaffer
Yes what a guy! But you i hope he stays at Saltcoats and gets them into the champions league 😁
11:41 16? They both look in their 30s.
Victoria and Albert 😂😂😂
Did you say no official linesman.
Must get boring winning 11 times in 12 seasons 🚜🚜🔵⚪️⚪️🔵
It’s fantastic actually 🙂🍀
Would you say that if it was Ipswich (or whoever ITFC are ) winning their league that much , no you wouldn't.
You've posted more than enough times on this channel so I suspect you are just being a fud
The wee guy is a character 😂
Great video Sam, can't give you enough praise for you enthusiasm for your adopted country. 🏴
That wee guy is sharp as a tack.

Rangers should sign Bryan up for their next manager....
I hope some cash filters down to the club, you just never know where the next superstar player will come from given the opportunity
When I seen the fixtures and seen Saltcoats Victoria were hosting Royal Albert then this is where I thought you would have been yesterday!
Sam with yes since 4k subs. I knew ye would blow up. Hope to see you back in ireland soon we can go to a shelbourne fc game now owned by hulls owners with damien duff as manager 🤣🇮🇪
Mental to see another video of you in Saltcoats again. Also can't believe you sat in Sandylands restaurant 🤣 I used to work there still work with the same company so big shout out there...another class video Sam your content is one of the main ones I watch out for daily 👍✌️
Still the only TH-cam channel that has me Googling small Scottish seaside towns. Love it.
Great job Sam, luv seeing these small clubs and how hard they are trying to go again! Cheers from Canada
The young lad with the black coat, is an old head on young shoulders.
Wise beyond his years!
Hey Garry mate, get yourself a Rode mic. It will elevate you to Monk status !
"You're the prettiest thing on Saltcoats beach" 🎶 🎶
Brilliant video Sam, love to see the progress of this club.
Another really enjoyable vlog. Thank you.
Saltcoats twice! The Stevenston Ardeer Thistle guys are starting to get restless
You want a unique idea mate, I've never seen a vlog from Saudi!
Hope you enjoyed Saltcoats!
Love these non league videos so much. Would be a treat to live over there and support a local team!
Stadium? A Stadium is a building, that is a 'ground'
Oh i the guy tried ti noke um oot , brilliant wee man 😂
So, uuuhhh... the Bottom Derby.
Really enjoyed that.
Whit is it wi Scottish fitba and bovril.
Mingin' stuff.
That pie ....🤢
Looked good to me. You couldn't buy the ingredients in Lidl for £2.50, never mind a football ground.
Great that is Football
Good video as always Sam.
❤
I'd still love it if you did the Liverpool memorial run though Sam, been asking for a few years now, you still haven't done it :(
