Pub close to Everton’s stadium highlighting the disappointment fans feel with recent Premier League rulings

@CrosenderWay It would have been nice if someone had told us we could use any turnstile. We sat with the Telford fans first half and only went into the away end at half time. I’m not sure of the point of the segregation

Telford 0-2 Marine. FSS at the double. A huge 3 points on the road. Sensational performances throughout. Fin Sinclsir-Smith scoring his 50th goal on his 150th appearance for Marine. Thoughts Mariners?

@CrosenderWay Fin was outstanding. Up to that first goal it was all Telford but we grew into the game and played some lovely passing football. I don’t think any of that happens though without Jack’s performance in goal

@KieranMaguire @JamesLeary7 I have absolutely no sympathy. Anyone complaining about unfairness while feeding the money grabbing that top flight football has become is ridiculous

Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’. Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport? If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.

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

The Vine. Best pre match food in the country

@OfficialKAFC @RossendaleWhit1 That’s a great advert for no segregation in non league

@RossendaleWhit1 We average around 400-450. We get a decent chunk of Stoke and Vale fans who use us as a 2nd team when they’re away. They were both at home yesterday. Easily 1500+ Bury fans in the ground. Incredible support!

1,300 Shakers? #buryfc

@henrywinter ‘Elite.’ Give me a break

I feel the "winter break" debate coming on again in the Premier League. It’s obviously needed - even with expanded squads, elite players risk fatigue, less training time etc - but too many vested interests preventing it happening.

@KevinLoughlin45 @BarryLenton I’m not keen on segregation. Part of the joy of non league is chatting to opposition supporters. Put them behind a barrier and you get faux hostility like at league matches. Segregating the Woking fans was a bit of a joke

@BarryLenton I went last night. Thought Macc were excellent (better than Tamworth) after the first 15 mins and we looked a bit tired. Surprised the fans weren't segregated, that swapping ends at half-time thing could easily have gone wrong

1337 at Marine last night (about 550 more than at Southport v Spennymoor) though Macclesfield brought 250-300 with them. Horrible night for weather, too.

@KeskinensBigToe @BoozerArab Scottish football doesn’t need Rangers and Celtic. English football doesn’t want them

@BoozerArab They’re not “scenes” They’re a national disgrace, everyone in Scotland hates the old firm, and this is one of the many reasons why

We’d have these scenes in England if lads stopped calling ultras cringe btw

@CrosenderWay Disappointing

Isuzu #FATrophy semi final draw. Southport vs Southend United Wealdstone vs Marine Thoughts?

Swerved Anfield for Rossett Park today. One win from Wembley. Special.

@CrosenderWay Decent ending to that short story

Short story

@CrosenderWay Brilliant performance today. Southport home or away in the semi final would be a great occasion. Both teams going out would not

Signs are looking good for King’s Lynn this weekend, as the groundsman applies the finishing touches👌

King's Lynn Town are being investigated over claims its sprinkler system was put on hours before a game was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Sol Solomon can't even get off the bench in an embarrassing, pathetic, gutless 5-0 defeat. It must be soul destroying. FFS @TranmereRovers let the lad go to @MarineAFC and play in a team that has a bit of fight and look like they might be on the verge of achieving something.

28th February 1931..Everton v Southport at Goodison Park (FA Cup)

@fabregas3490 I just said the same thing looking at the photos. From my living room though. Enjoy the game

Tidy ground. #COYM

@CrosenderWay @MarineAFC @fusionjosh_ Enjoyable. Is he right about the potential ground problems if promoted ? If so then would we be able to compete in the play offs this season ?

A great vlog and complimentary review of @MarineAFC by @fusionjosh_ all the messages sent asking him to visit Rossett Park finally paid off. Great watch below: youtu.be/59Iap5tc8k4?si…
