𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒 | Three wins in low-scoring nail-biters on Saturday, and the women’s teams starting their season with three wins from three!

What a sport 😂 via @Burscough_CC

@mooseswfc I think the problem comes when people are taking that foul, which it is, in isolation. There are at least 3 other things happening which could/should be penalties. Why this isn't considered at the same time is what concerns me

I don’t care what anyone says, zero bias, that is 100% a foul on Raya

@NickBrightDJ @KaneDougherty_ You can't just say that out of all that you ping just that foul, that's ludicrous. If there's more happening that's just a relevant, that also surely has to be looked at alongside it

@NickBrightDJ @KaneDougherty_ Ah but that's where you're wrong. Go back to earlier in the season. Can't remember the exact game but it was stated that as a player wasn't looking at the ball, that was an indication why the decision could be given. Yes it's a foul on Raya but then you have to review the rest.

The hate for Arsenal is so strong, it’s laughable. Get your heads out of your biased arses, it was a foul. If Pablo doesn’t have his hands on Raya’s arms, he simply catches the ball 🤷🏻‍♂️

@OfficialVizeh It's a foul on the keeper yes, but to not then review the Trossard (not even looking at the ball, which earlier in the season was the reason given for another penalty) and the Rice rugby tackle is just incompetent by the officials.

Foul or not?

@MatiFifa17 @AVFCStatto @Tekkz Am I being stupid but why have you tagged Tekkz in this tweet? Bit weird

@AVFCStatto @Tekkz He wasn’t holding him there you idiot 🤣🤣

This was given as a goal this season btw. Shock. #AVFC

Decent goal from Steven Fletcher today in the #SWFC charity game…

Another three win Saturday 😍

@AlexJPMiller @domhowson Do you get a free blazer badge and tie set with it, also akin to the aforementioned Mr Partridge?

Breakfast of champions with this fine geezer. My man @domhowson is flogging his books at the stadium this afternoon in a style absolutely not akin to Alan Partridge. It’s really excellent and you should buy it from him cheers. #SWFC🦉

Darren Gough at his best In 1995, at the Sydney Cricket Ground, @DGoughie produced his finest Ashes performance, taking 6 for 49 - his best bowling figures in the Ashes. His spell put England on top as they bowled out Australia for just 116. He also made a valuable contribution with the bat, scoring 51 off 56 balls in the first innings of the Test. One of England’s standout performers of the 1990s.

YORKSHIRE WIN!!!! Dom Bess bowls Alfie Ogborne, and Somerset are all out for 184. The White Rose win by 75 runs. Bess and Joe Root finish with eight wickets. yorkshireccc.com/news/live-some…

Wanted to take some time to reflect on a day I’ve been dreaming of for months. Saturday was perfect. Will never be able to express how grateful I am for the warm welcome the @SWFC fans gave my family and me. The sun shone down on our wonderful club on Saturday. It was the experience of a lifetime to enjoy the moment with you all…. To share our new crest designed by the incredible local agency Peter and Paul…. To share the news that after an incredible collaborative effort between my team, the @EFL and BTG we will start next season on zero points!…. To introduce you to our incredible new CEO, David Bruce…. And to witness over 30,000 of my newest friends singing for 99 minutes straight as our Owls closed out such a difficult season with a win. I’d like to further highlight how grateful I am to the @EFL for their diligence and approach in working with us to ratify all issues and achieve our target of closing by 1 May. It takes a village; but without the commitment and tenacity of Asher Simons, Clive Betts MP and James Silverwood in particular, we would not be where we are today. It’s been an extremely emotional 48 hours for me after a long process, but now the focus is already completely on action. We are proceeding ahead immediately on all fronts and we will update you, the fans, as we go. You are the reason Michael and I are here, the reason we have fallen in love with this city and this club. We will do everything in our power to ensure we don’t let you down. David #wawaw #uto #swfc

It’s been a great start to the season for Nathan - the thought of a lemon drizzle spurred him on to 78* to be our Garden Terrace Coffee House & Bar Player of the Week
