For every die-hard football fan, matchdays come with their own set of traditions. Some wear the same lucky scarf, some refuse to sit in any seat but their “matchday throne,” and others, perhaps the most thoughtful of the lot, carry their eco-friendly journal everywhere they go.
Whether at the stadium, the local pub, or glued to the TV at home, football fans have a habit of jotting down all sorts of doodles, ideas, and passionate rants.
In the spirit of sustainability and fan obsession, we’re diving into the world of matchday doodles—specifically, the things every football fan has scribbled in their eco-friendly journal at some point.
And if you haven't yet, consider this your invitation to pick up one of those environmentally friendly journals and start capturing the beautiful madness of the beautiful game.
1. Predicted Line-ups (That Are Always Better Than the Coach’s)
Every fan believes they know best. Before kick-off, the first few pages of an eco-friendly journal are often filled with predicted (or preferred) line-ups. 4-3-3, 3-5-2, 4-2-3-1—the possibilities are endless. And of course, there's always that one underrated benchwarmer who should be starting.
2. Score Predictions (Wildly Optimistic, Always)
Whether it’s 5–0 or a scrappy 1–0 win in the 89th minute, every fan has jotted down a bold prediction or two. These pages serve as both a testament to belief and a humorous reminder of our occasionally unrealistic expectations.
3. Ref Rants
Let’s be honest: the referees never get it right—at least according to us. Angry sketches, red-card symbols, or full-blown rants occupy many corners of an eco-friendly journal during controversial matches. It’s cathartic, and much more sustainable than throwing things at the TV.
4. Transfer Wishlist
Ah, the sweet daydream of transfer windows. Who hasn’t made a wishlist of players they want their club to sign? From world-class stars to underrated gems from second-tier leagues, these names are proudly penned down in your environmentally friendly journal—with arrows, asterisks, and excitement.

5. Goal Celebrations (As Stick Figures, Of Course)
Moments of brilliance deserve to be immortalized—even if it’s through quirky stick figures doing knee slides or dramatic air punches. There’s a kind of joy in flipping back through your eco-friendly journal and reliving the best goals, even in doodle form.
6. Tactical Breakdowns
Tactician or armchair analyst, we’ve all tried to break down what went wrong after a bad match. A couple of poorly drawn pitch diagrams and frustrated notes later, and you’ve got yourself a mini tactical review in your eco-friendly journal.
7. Chants and Songs
You’ve probably jotted down a chant you heard in the stands or came up with your own quirky version. These pages are often full of rhythm, rhymes, and the unfiltered voice of a true supporter.
8. Match Ratings
Every fan has their own opinions on who was man of the match and who should be benched for eternity. Writing down ratings—be it out of 10 or through emoji systems—is a guilty pleasure, made better when documented in environmentally friendly journals.
9. Matchday Memories
From away days with your mates to your first live game at the stadium, these moments deserve to be treasured. Dedicating a page in your eco-friendly journal to each game you attend is a wonderful way to build your personal football archive.
