Losing to Sunderland next season is slightly less embarrassing than losing to Wycombe, so there’s that at least.

I need a rant.
Fuck I hate football fans sometimes. A lot of the time, let's be frank. This is one example but there is always some bullshit at matches.
Was at the playoff final today with my disabled in-laws. MiL in wheelchair, FiL can't speak and can't walk very easily or stand for long. We have a disabled spot for wheelchair MiL but the two other seats are one row down in front of the disabled area so I'm with FiL in regular seats.
We wait as people file in and inevitably get five sweaty, smelly middle-aged meatheads, a few MacDonalds short of a quadruple bypass, in front of us. They are standing which is fair enough at start of game. However, FiL is getting quite irate because he can't process emotions easily since having a stroke and is beginning to worry he's not going to be able to see the match.
Anyway, I just ask one, oh please would you mind being seated when possible cos my FiL is disabled and can't stand to see. His response: "There are disabled seats in Wembley, you could go and sit in those." Wowwww. You think?! I mean fuck him. Is it so hard to give a slither of consideration to someone so obviously less able than you.
To make matters even worse, turns out there WERE 4 empty disabled seats but the steward wouldn't let my FiL sit in them "because sometimes people come for the second half".
WHAT
Just a fucking joke. Fortunately, another supporter in the disabled section had an empty seat next to her and her son, so I stuck FiL there for second half, much to the chagrin of the steward who wasn't sure if said supporter had booked 3 spots. And so the three of us were separated for the entire second half.
And then Wycombe played like absolute dogshit just to cap an infuriating day.

Grimsby playing Notts County in the playoff semis today. Couldn't make it due to only a couple of thousand tickets being allocated to the away fans, which is a bit of a bummer when the away stand seats 4.5k or something. Hope they get through.
Still think the non-league playoffs are farcical though. Should be 3 teams going up, not just two.

The Wrexham - Grimsby play off semi final is one of the most entertaining matches I've watched this season, it has absolutely everything.

I've maybe managed to watch 10 minutes but had to switch it off 'cos it's too stressful. I will say that Maradona goal from Wrexham was a shocker though.

Much like the BT Sport commentators I'm not complaining it's gone to extra time.

Grimsby have a player called Waterfall. Wonder if you shouldn’t chase him?

What a corking match that was for the neutral supporters. Guess the Disney Wrexham series will be ending on a downer, with the loss of the FA Trophy and not getting promotion.

Mansfield self destructing against Port Vale, this game is pretty much over at 2-0.

As nice as Ryan Reynolds seems, getting out of conference is ridiculously difficult. You've got to be really shit to go down from League 2. I lived in Lincs and that period where two of the major teams went down... it's taken years and planning for them to go up.

As an Aldershot Town supporter getting League 2 promotion in 2008 with a then Conference record of 101 points was a fantastic achievement, they were relegated in 2013 and this year just managed to avoid relegation again. Money is the biggest issue facing clubs in the National League but even when you've got someone with a lot of cash it doesn't guarantee success.

How is that not a penalty? Brutal decision, wasn’t it? To not even send over the ref was mad. You can see him getting clipped caused him to trip over his own leg. |

That’s also a penalty.

Jon Moss - useless to the end. Robbed Huddersfield of an equaliser, here. Stonewall penalty.

I just don’t understand the point of VAR if it just ignores things.
