Wrexham game sounds like utter madness

Fuck me that was mental lol

 

[wspur]

Damn what a second half

Pen in last min of injury time. Foster saved it.

 

[lincspurs]

Now, that’s what I call a game of football!!!

 

[taidgh]

a Hollywood ending there.

Terrific 2nd half of football, that.

To think Ben Foster turned down Newcastle to join Wrexham. Good luck to him.

Paid the 9.50 to stream on the national league site and was best 9.50 I spent on football in sometime. It’s a shame only one automatic promotion spot as both those teams are worthy this year and would give League 2 a run as well. Well done, Wrexham.

Turned down Newcastle, then happened to get a spontaneous offer from Wrexham. 6 week deal and much closer to his home near Birmingham

Thanks for spoiling the documentary guys. Was looking forward to seeing the result in 18 months.

What a moment for Wrexham and Foster

See if you get the chance seek out the incident in the first half when Wrexham were denied a penalty. The ball is crossed from the left to the far post. The defender has his back to the ball so he can’t see it. As the centre forward goes to jump, the defender pushes him over with both hands to the chest. Think only the ref and assistant were the onl ones not to see it.

Lol at people realising non league football is a bit tasty. None of your namby pamby var and rolling about shit. Proper football.

Scunny are doomed. Scarborough next season it is.

 

[Metalhead]

Fair play to Gateshead. They looked doomed earlier in the season and now they're on a great run.

There's some fantastic quality football at that level.too.

Genuinely classy post match interview from Ryan Reynolds as well. I went to “an audience with” him recently and he always comes across really likeable, mental what’s happening there, such a great story.

 

[Metalhead]

John Bostock (remember him?) just scored for Notts county against Wrexham, from a free kick in first half injury time. Good strike too, Ben Foster in goal for Wrexham.

There's a blast from the past. Good on him for persevering. I wonder if they still have a thread on him on the Crystal Palace fan forum. It went on for years after he left.

Bleh... Good for them, but in the meantime their netflix series opportunity has distorted that league into an unsustainable race. Non league football shouldn't have league two players getting league one salaries. Most clubs down there are struggling to keep the lights on from week to week.

Maybe it can go back to normal next season, but my worry is that now the expectation is that a club has to prepared to make a £2m plus loss in order to get into the football league, and that would kill most of them... and nearly has this very season. And all because a couple of Hollywood actors wanted a plaything for a TV series.

Bitter? Yes I am.

Sometimes... a lot of the time the ball hardly touches the ground

Oh true - there's a definite drop off in quality from the premier League but in relative terms, it's very decent. I watched Gateshead last season in the national League north and I was surprised how well they played at that level.
