A poor result & we are in a rut at the minute.
But watching the game back without the emotion of the night, we played ok, got caught ball watching for both their goals, but they defended brilliantly with 9 players behind the ball & clinical. We need to improve in both boxes

So pleased for @GuiseleyAFC players, staff and fans. Some great people involved and some great celebrations in the bar after I see @IgguldenPaul @JackTinker4 @cam_wilson20 @Kallanm07 @joshb0507
Full-time: Guiseley 1-0 Sutton United. The Lions have done it and are in the second round flof the Emirates FA Cup for just the third time in our 117 year history with a dramatic win over National League side Sutton United!
GET IN YOU BOYS! #GAFC

Translated and dubbed this powerful message from Luis de la Fuente, because these are words that deserve to be heard far and wide. 🌍
“THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LUCK. Luck is a word used by mediocre people to discredit those who achieve their goals.”
Let that sink in.
Success doesn't happen by accident. It's built through hard work, discipline, sacrifice, consistency and showing up OVER AND OVER.
But here's the important part: even hard work doesn't guarantee the result.
In football, as in life, success and failure can be separated by a single moment, a single decision or a single result.
And sometimes, despite doing everything right, things still won't go your way.
You can't always control the result. But you can always control your preparation, your attitude and your effort.
And that's where the real difference is made.

A fairly even game. We had enough chances to win the match. But Goole were more clinical.

A positive response after last week, but still sloppy goals conceded.
Happy for @Miguelcassama scoring on debut and @CharltonCal3 & Harry getting their first goals for the club

Just the 8 games last night at S1-6 plus 2 FA Vase ties (both 1-2 to the visitors!).
@Wakefield_AFC set a new biggest win record for the season in the @NCEL D1 , 7-4 which also is the new highest number of goals in a game for that league this season, 9 being the previous most! It was also the most goals @_SouthLeedsFC have scored in a game this season, but left empty handed.
Well done @leighwhelan3
Fantastic player and brilliant human being 🫶🏼

Massive congratulations to Leigh Whelan today on his 100th appearance for the club. A real fans favourite for his tenacity in midfield and composure on the ball.
100 more please Leigh🇮🇪

A horrible day.
If we didn’t have the best goalkeeper in the league, it could have been 8-1

🌹 England legend Terry Butcher reflects on what the @PoppyLegion Poppy Appeal means to him.
👕 Throughout this year’s appeal, match-worn and signed shirts from clubs across the UK will be auctioned in support of serving military personnel, veterans and their families.

This is a great example of how to get out of pressure by Cole Palmer using both your brain and your body.
Here’s what he does:
• Scans early - He looks around before the ball even arrives so he already knows his options.
• Uses his arm to hold off the defender - He keeps the opponent at a safe distance and protects the ball.
• Drops his shoulder and skill move - He fakes the defender one way, then goes the other.
• Accelerates away - Once he creates the space, he explodes into it.
Key takeaway:
Just because it’s soccer doesn’t mean you can’t use your arms and body. Smart players use their body to protect the ball, create space, and unbalance defenders. This is legal and effective, as long as you’re not pushing or holding.
The worst way to lose. A last minute goal to a free kick that never was.
We can’t play the game without these officials and it’s a job I couldn’t and wouldn’t do. But they make it so hard to love them
