    Aug 21 2025

    This week's episode is packed with exciting stories from across the region:

    Burscough FC hits a new high as 13-year fan James steps in as emergency stadium announcer during the match against Longridge Town — talk about passion!

    Gerry Harrison steps down as Nelson FC manager after a challenging start. What's next for the club?

    York City fans, Pilot Dave and brother Richard Bower, took their dedication to new heights by chartering a plane to support their team at Truro — and they celebrated with a 2-0 victory!

    Plus, Morecambe's future is secure, but the big question remains: who are the Panjab Warriors? Their shocking decision to sack Derek Adams and appoint a 30-year-old novice manager—disaster or bold move?

    We dive into the controversy surrounding a controversial penalty at Everton last Monday — was it a fair call? And we take a hard look at the rise of keyboard warriors and whether they add value or just cause harm to our beloved football clubs.

    In part two, meet Joey Burns of Maghull, the man behind the club's incredible transformation from the West Cheshire League to an NWCFL powerhouse — a true story of determination!

    Stay tuned for our usual round-up of NWCFL action, with expert predictions for the upcoming FA Vase opening day fixtures this weekend.

    We'll also analyse key matches involving Lower Breck, Clitheroe, Marine, Southport, Skelmersdale United, and the Liverpool County Premier League—and our big battles ahead!

    All this and so much more — you won't want to miss it!

    TSFFS S2 E5 - Weekly Football Roundup!

    This week, we're diving into Birmingham City’s revealing new documentary, 'Built in Birmingham, Brady & The Blues,' and sharing our thoughts.

    Tom Brady has stirred the pot by criticizing former manager Wayne Rooney, sparking a debate: Is this kind of controversy good for the sport? Meanwhile, Wrexham’s documentary feels more friendly and inspiring. But overall, these inside looks often cast clubs in a less flattering light.

    We take a closer look at Morecambe’s struggles—can they turn things around? Plus, we shine a spotlight on Southport Hesketh, a brave club that has recently resigned from the West Lancashire League.

    All eyes are on the NWCFL results, especially those who battled it out in the FA Cup. We wrap up by making our predictions for the upcoming week.

    Our coverage also touches on the National Leagues and the Northern Premier League, giving you a well-rounded update.

    Finally, we spotlight Skelmersdale United before sharing our final thoughts. Stay tuned for everything football happening this week!
