Just about coming down to earth after an emotional day yesterday. It was a wonderful way to end 14 years as a *regular* member of the @BBCShropSport team covering @telfordutd. I’ll still work the odd game for the station, but much less often. What a memorable way to sign off 🏆❤️
Continue to be amazed by this manager and team, despite a plethora of headwinds. Thoroughly deserved win today and it shouldn’t be overlooked that we moved the ball really well at times. You’d have had good odds on us taking 13 points from 15 prior to the Darlo game! Bravo 👏👏
93' TEL 2-1 SPA
FULL TIME: HAPPY GAME 200, GAFFER!!! The Bucks make it 5 unbeaten and 3 wins on the bounce!!!! Thank you to those who made the journey in the fog, and thank you to those following at home! All attention turns to next weekend as we host Chelmsford in the FA Trophy!

This has been a growing problem at non-league grounds for a few years now. Very different to how it used to be.
Chairman Jed McCrory tonight on BBC Midlands with BBC News reporter Dan Pallett discussing how Non-league clubs are tackling recent teen trouble at matches. Full report on BBC News website or click below .

Good report, though I’d add that 2 of the best chances aren’t actually mentioned; Cranston somehow hitting the underside of the bar from 6 yards and the ‘Port keeper’s stunning save to deny Ryley (I think). I’d forgotten about the penalty shout though - think we got lucky there.
Calum McIntyre’s first game as Southport manager began with a goal inside five minutes but ended with what is becoming an all too familiar result for the Sandgrounders, and a much clearer view of the task ahead.

Honestly blows me away how the manager keeps producing these results. We have (anecdotally) one of the smallest budgets in the league, threadbare squad, injuries galore, no pace, rarely able to pick same XI twice , yet somehow he drives us on. Deserves more credit than he gets.

Always amazes me how managers only see what they want to see, though I get he needs to stay positive. A point for Southport would have been an absolute steal. No mention of all the great chances missed by Telford. 2-4 might have been a fairer reflection of the game…

Totally bossed that game and any other result would have been an absolute travesty to be honest. So important that we backed up Tuesday’s win today so that really feels like a big victory. Hope Williams injury isn’t as bad as it looked! Well done to Kev and the players 👏

FULL TIME! DID SOMEONE SAY BACK-TO-BACK AWAY WINS? BUCKS AWAY AHAHA I LIKE IT!
The Bucks win on the road again on this Halloween special. WHAT A TREAT!!!
Thank you all for coming and we will see you again next Saturday at the SEAH Stadium.

Really interesting interview this and, whilst the subject is specifically Rotherham United, I feel the sentiments and challenges will resonate with many football followers up and down the land.
🗣️ “Is he aware of the unrest?”
🗣️ “I think so”
We spoke to Rotherham United Head of Football Steve McClaren on a variety of topics, including the recent fan petition calling for Tony Stewart to sell #RUFC

Having been in Blackpool all weekend and experienced first-hand the absolutely horrendous weather in that part of the country, this isn’t hugely surprising. Good wishes to Southport and fingers crossed they can get it sorted in time for visit of @telfordutd on Saturday.
Following the passing of Storm Boelo over the weekend, the National League has been advised that there was significant damage caused to Southport’s stadium, including damage to panels on the side of the main stand, advertising hoardings, and a marquee in the ground which has been ripped from its stand.
Given the extent of the damage, the limited timeframe to fully implement repairs ahead of tomorrow’s game against Macclesfield, and forecast over the next 24 hours, the National League has determined that the match will be postponed in the interest of safety for all parties concerned.

After Saturday this felt inevitable. Think he knew it too. He looked like he’d seen a ghost when the winner went in, straight after they had missed two sitters as well. That’s football - knife-edge moments which can define a season.

Darlington Football Club can confirm that Steve Watson has left his role as First Team Manager with immediate effect.
The decision was reached by mutual agreement between the Darlington FC directors and Steve following discussions over the past few days.
We would like to thank Steve for his dedication, commitment and hard work during his time at Blackwell Meadows.
Terry Mitchell will take charge of the team as Caretaker Manager while the Club begins the process of appointing a new First Team Manager.

Enjoyed my trip to @BerkoFC a couple of years ago to cover @telfordutd for @BBCShropSport. Incredible result for them yesterday for sure! Hopefully they get a good tie in the First Round.
The greatest day in the history of this football club.
Remember it Comrades. This is what football is about.

Enjoyed a wide-ranging chat with my old commentary partner @FootieNick on @BBCShropSport following yesterday’s dramatic @telfordutd win over @Official_Darlo. We discussed both the importance of the win, but also the club’s wider aspirations in a very tough external environment.

2 clubs in similar predicaments yesterday. Both lost big players in summer, struggled to recruit and are being drowned out financially by others. Felt for SW at the end, but delighted for KW. Sadly both clubs probably face a long hard slog to stay up. This league is brutal now.
Downfall started in June when we could only recruit NPL players.
I like SW and TM, and no doubt with a ton of money they’d do well 🙄 but they’ve failed.
All the credit from ‘saving us’ has now vanished.
Carrying on the way we are is the definition of insanity. Time to go.

Very symptomatic of where we are that after 2 weeks without a fixture we still can’t come close to filling the bench. Totally get there are reasons; we all know what they are, mostly a horrible injury list and financial constraints. However, optically it just looks horrible.
Team news: Kevin Wilkin makes 3 changes from the defeat a fortnight ago.
In: Lilly, England, Moult.
Out: Cranston, Mitchell, Stenson
On the Bench: Cranston, Mitchell, Lambert, McLintock

Andy Teague, Scott Leather and Courtney Meppen-Walter at @chorleyfc was one of the toughest defences you could face on their day. Not much got past them 😢
Very sad news at such a ridiculously young age. Commentated on him many times, mainly as an opposition player but also (briefly) as an @telfordutd one.

Very sad news at such a ridiculously young age. Commentated on him many times, mainly as an opposition player but also (briefly) as an @telfordutd one.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former player Courtney Meppen-Walter, at the age of 32.
The thoughts and condolences of everyone at #buryfc are with his family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
