    TSFFS S2 EP14 - Exciting Football Insights!

    This week, we're diving into the latest buzz around the NWCFL and exploring the vibrant non-league scene across the Northwest. From Bury and Chester to Macclesfield, Marine AFC, and Southport, we cover the biggest stories and moments that matter.

    In the show's second half, don't miss our exclusive interview with Jamie Rainford, the new manager of Litherland Remyca. He's sharing his remarkable journey, including the highs and lows of a career that didn’t make it to the Football League. Gain a rare glimpse into what it takes to succeed — or fail — in the beautiful game, and hear his honest reflections on luck, naivety, and the road less travelled. Aspiring footballers and fans alike will find his story inspiring and eye-opening.

    Next, we analyse upcoming fixtures, offer predictions, and dissect the key battles to watch this week. Plus, a quick chat about Skem to wrap things up.

    Tune in for all that and more — it's a jam-packed episode you won't want to miss!

  • TSFFS S2 E 13, FEATURING ARRON RIPLEYT, MANAGER OF NELSON FC.
    Feb 10 2025

    This week's episode features the usual round-up of local results, including the NWCFL, the FA Vase, and the FA Cup.

    We take a closer look at the results at Daisy Hill and the return to form of AFC Liverpool.

    We also explore the Controversial Corners of our game, including:

    A discussion on the improvements at Morecambe FC since the takeover, or lack thereof, on the pitch.

    Football authorities at the Berks & Bucks FA state that "come on, lads” is an offensive term that should not be used. We think that's rubbish!

    The mysterious episode where floodlights fail when the home team is losing 3-0.

    We speak to Arron Ripley, the manager of Nelson FC, who was controversially sacked despite a 72% win rate, then reinstated eight months later.

    We finish the show with our usual chat about Skem, look at the fixtures upcoming this weekend, and provide predictions and expert analysis.

    All that and more.
