Association Football
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players who primarily use their feet to propel the ball around a rectangular field called a pitch. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition by moving the ball beyond the goal line into a rectangular framed goal defended by the opposing side. Traditionally, the game has been played over two 45 minute halves, for a total match time of 90 minutes. With an estimated 250 million players active in over 200 countries, it is considered the world's most popular sport. The game of association football is played in accordance with the Laws of the Game, a set of rules that has been in effect since 1863 with the International Football Association Board (IFAB) maintaining them since 1886.

Reserve Fleet
A reserve fleet is a collection of naval vessels of all types that are fully equipped for service but are not currently needed; they are partially or fully decommissioned. A reserve fleet is informally said to be "in mothballs" or "mothballed"; an equivalent expression in unofficial modern US naval usage is "ghost fleet". In earlier times, especially in British usage, the ships were said to be "laid up in ordinary". Overview Such ships are held in reserve against a time when it may be necessary to call them back into service. They are usually tied up in backwater areas near naval bases or shipyards in order to speed the reactivation process. They may be modified for storage during such a period, for instance by having rust-prone areas sealed off or wrapped in plastic or, in the case of sailing warships, the masts removed. While being held in the reserve fleet, ships typically have a minimal crew (known informally as a skeleton crew) to ensure that they stay in somewhat usable ...

Luncarty F
Luncarty (; pronounced ''Lung''-cur-tay) ) is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, approximately north of Perth. It lies between the A9 to the west, and the River Tay to the east. Etymology The name ''Luncarty'', recorded in 1250 as ''Lumphortyn'', may be of Gaelic origin. The name may involve the element ''longartaibh'', a plural form of ''longphort'' meaning variously "harbour, palace, encampment". History The historian Hector Boece (1465–1536), in his ''History of the Scottish People'', records that, in 990, Kenneth III of Scotland defeated the Danes near Luncarty. However, the Scottish historian John Hill Burton strongly suspected the battle of Luncarty to be an invention of Hector Boece. Burton was incorrect. Walter Bower, writing in his Scotichronicon around 1440, some 87 years before Boece first published his ''Scotorum Historia'', refers to the battle briefly as follows: :''"that remarkable battle of Luncarty, in which the Norsemen with their king were tot ...
