What to record after a football match before you forget
Record the score and ground immediately, then add the human details: who came, where you stood, the decisive moment and what made the day different.
The two-minute routine
Before leaving the area, save the fixture, final score, stadium and attendance. Add who came with you, where you sat or stood and one decisive moment. Later, attach the photograph or longer note if the match deserves it.
Do not wait for a perfect diary session. The details most likely to vanish are the walk, weather, song, food and conversation—not the score that remains online. Capture one of those while it is still obvious.
