Tim McDermott

@buryfcofficial Great signing and surprised to see him drop down, even to a club like Bury. Oddly, his time at Marine fizzled out after a stinker of a 45 minutes away at Radcliffe which was a shame cos he was probably my player of the year to that point.

@MarineAFC Most welcome postponement since Operation Sea Lion.

🚨 This evenings game at Fylde has unfortunately been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. The rescheduled date for this game will be next Tuesday (31st March) at 7.45pm.

@MarineAFC Great to see another set of legs into the squad. Real shame Bailey got injured when he did, was playing really well but I imagine the space in the squad was needed

🤝 SQUAD UPDATE: We’re delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Marley Leuluai on a one-month loan from Premier League side Burnley. The New Zealand youth international has played 14 PL2 games so far this season, and mainly operates in defensive midfield, also capable as a defender. Leuluai was previously part of the Manchester City youth set-up prior to joining up with Burnley’s academy. The 19-year-old will wear squad number 18, and joins up with Bobby Grant’s side ahead of Saturday’s Isuzu FA Trophy semi-final at Wealdstone. We can also confirm that Bailey Marsden has departed the club by mutual consent. Bailey made 23 appearances during his time as a Mariner, scoring once. We thank him for his contributions to the club and wish him the very best for the future. #WeAreMarine

@MarineAFC On the chances created by both teams you can see how daft the “worst team we’ve played” comments from some Telford fans are. Good chances for both teams, we defended their chances better and took ours. That’s just good football. And how is the pen on McDonald not given??

🦈 Fin strikes from the edge of the box for his and Marine’s second goal yesterday! Full highlights: youtu.be/pP6J48laS7Y #WeAreMarine

@KyleKing1705 Well done Kingy 👏

498 days since the last time I started a game of football. Today also makes it a year to the day since my ACL reconstruction surgery. Been a long road to get back to this point and a lot of hard work. Glad that we managed to get the win in the end today ❤️⚽️

🚨 Final day to help us get the supporters coach to Telford over the line.

@richardcross7 @CrosenderWay Best news of the morning! Thanks Richard 👍

@world_minty @CrosenderWay Cautions are competitive specific now (another task for secretaries!) he has not hit any threshold yet for a suspension

Full time Peterborough Sports 0-0 Marine When you consider the injuries and the lack of options of the bench, that's a decent point, well done lads!

@MarineAFC Understand completely he doesn’t want to let the squad down by playing & not being able to produce what he’s demanding of them, says he’d only consider playing in an emergency. When that “down to 10 men” type emergency comes though gaffer, you need to be on the team sheet first!

🗣️ “What the players have just produced there is unbelievable.” Bobby Grant speaks after a hard-fought draw away at Peterborough Sports. Full interview: youtu.be/E8d9APusZhA #WeAreMarine

@TRACYBEADLES @CrosenderWay He can’t play against Fylde but given he’s come off the last two games with a hamstring I think we’re unlikely to see him again for a few weeks

@CrosenderWay @world_minty Literally bare bones for next few games. If Jolley is fit is he allowed to play against Fylde or not ?

@CrosenderWay If it’s 10 yellows it is 2 games but the way I read it, it would be two league games not the Trophy game

@CrosenderWay Every credit to the squad, patched up for a long journey, take that point. Two tough away games to come, let’s see who’s fit to play. Whelans late booking possibly his 10th of the season did comms reckon? If thats right it’s a 2 game ban starting next week. That’d be bad news.

@aemonklestein @MarineAFC Yeah, had a foot injury from the county cup game I think

@MarineAFC Come on lads. Main thing tonight is no fresh injuries. Glad to see Bell back involved. Had he been injured? Think I may have missed something there.

Starting Line Up Sponsored by Spire Healthcare Adam Anson is suspended James Potter and Harry Huby are abroad with the Marine Academy. Zanzala comes into the starting eleven.

@MarineAFC I imagine the academy thing is long planned and paid for, not the most professional look but practicality wise I can see why it’d be hard to take them out of it now. A real test tonight for a team full of lads playing through injury. Adversity breeds heroes Graeme! 😬🤞

Morning Mariners, TCW Podcast below as @mucky1986 was joined by @world_minty @JamieBowman77 As we discuss the season so far and looking forward to the semi final against Wealdstone, and a range of other topics 👇🏻 @MarineAFC youtu.be/CE_OcL1GfOY?si…

@_StephenKillen This shows significant debt & people are assuming it’s wages or big signing on fees but it might be, at least in part, from unavoidable infrastructure? Still a real risk though & theyre putting massive faith in the debt not being called in which would clearly end a great club.

When all the talk is about budgets, is it really a surprise to see?

@DarloSince1883 @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @MarkHowsham @KieranMaguire Marine aren’t bankrolled by anyone. Turned a profit in something like 15 of the last 16 years. A big cup run obviously helped but success can be had without overspending.

@aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @MarkHowsham @KieranMaguire Ah I forgot about Scarborough, fair one. Pure like us. Add to the list.

Radcliffe FC, in the sixth tier of English football in National League North, lost £807k last year, that’s £15,500 a week. It was £674k the previous season. Club is trading due to increased borrowings as long term debt exceeds £2.1m

@_StephenKillen @MarineAFC @CrosenderWay Bobby making it clear here that we don’t have the budget now to bring extra players in. Not surprised at all, think we did really well to find the funds for Hazlehurst so either we get some of the injured lads back or we look to the youngsters & get behind them.

Reaction from @MarineAFC manager Bobby Grant. youtu.be/sckojT5810Q

@CrosenderWay The last 3/4 weeks its a threadbare squad that is simply knackered. No lack of effort, just legs that won’t do what they could a month ago and too many of the players that retain the ball & therefore give us a breather out injured. Got to get reinforcements in if we’ve the budget

Marine 2-4 Macclesfield Overall think we can have no complaints about the result, despite some questionable decisions by the officials. Thoughts Mariners?

@BarryLenton @CrosenderWay It’s generally accepted in physio/sport science that sat down on a long vehicle journey before playing leads to higher rates of muscle injury. Staying over will also help nutrition, meal times and extra chances for tactical meetings. Makes it look daft when you lose though!

@world_minty @CrosenderWay I’d point to Stockton, St. Ives and compare with Merthyr where we went down on the day and won. Do the players have their own room, Tim and what’s the cost to the club? No problem with big cup games like Wealdstone. I don’t get the link with injuries but you’re usually right, Tim

Kings Lynn 1-0 Marine Disappointing result and performance didn't really get going especially second half, game that lacked quality especially in the final 3rd, next up Macclesfield. Good support by the fans who made the journey can only commend everyone who came today 👏🏻

@StuMcStu @ElmslieEnder @MarineAFC Be really disappointed actually if they didn’t sell out having reduced our allocation. We give a small away section because we’re limited by the grounds lay out. If they’ve reduced ours to enhance “home advantage” that’d be a poor look for me.

@ElmslieEnder @world_minty @MarineAFC Makes sense. You don’t want to potentially risk reducing any home advantage. I’d just read about the 1025 and thought it may be worth the ask. If unlikely to sell out some clubs may have considered the additional revenue, but from a football pov it’s good that you’re not.

Are we asking for more tickets?…..@MarineAFC
