    I thought their "fans" were mostly if not all Spurs?

    Terrific effort and guts from Tranmere to get back where they belong after being down to ten men almost the entire match and having their momentum further disrupted by injury, subs and a mammoth amount of injury time, hats off to them. Interesting facts: - Tranmere swapped places with Barnet...

    Why are the Beeb so slow on the uptake? A good three minutes passed between when the goal was reported on here and on the Beeb site.

    I thought I recalled seeing unused subs being used as surprise penalty takers, or maybe they had been thrown on in the last minute of ET, so they came pretty much out of the blue.

    Not sure the point of that question. FYI I've watched football for almost 20 years but I haven't studied the laws of the game that intently and it's the first time such a question entered my head. After all, how often does it happen when a team uses all their subs by half-time (which may prove...

    If it goes to penalties Tranmere won't be able to use their subbed players right?

    So how much was added on originally and why? Must have been still a fair amount.

    Why so much injury time? Must be ten minutes that.

    Pretty scanty coverage altogether on the BBC site, the only incidents described are the sending off and the goal. Do they assume no league club fans give a toss about non-league football?

    Amazing still to think that sixth tier players could be earning up to a half a million quid per year, let alone £700K.

    2017-18 National League South

    Got my ticket for Sunday's game and looking forward to this. I always enjoy these non-league games even if the match isn't a classic with their charmingly quaint grounds and an atmosphere and match experience that feels closer to football as we used to know it, while I see some of the negatives...

    2017-18 National League South

    Well I was in the main side stand and while there was no segregation it was mostly home fans there and I want Hampton to win. And like most non-league games I wasn't allocated a seat number so given that Braintree are likely to bring more fans to fill in the gaps, would you advise getting there...

    2017-18 National League South

    Thinking of going to this game and is it still likely I'll be able to get a ticket in the home end on the day? I did that quite easily when they played Hayes & Yeading in 2009.

    I reckon it'll take some time for it to sink in for many of us non-Oldham fans that they are actually below League 1 after 21 years there (more surprising than if they had got out the right way). Imagine how Oldham fans must be feeling!

    This may be a silly question but why does Allen not want to stay? Not the first he's done this is it?

    In every aspect? Maybe as a club, but there's more to taking on any job than just the organization. Don't take this the wrong way, I've never been to Chesterfield and it seems a nice enough place, but I would have thought most people outside those who live in Chesterfield would choose London as...

    Well I can't pretend I'm happy with our high manager turnover, and hopefully we will buck the trend by keeping on Gracia (who could be a great manager for us if he turns round our away form) for next season. But out of the eight managers prior to him during the Pozzo era, three of them left of...

    Assuming it does happen (and it seems 99.9% likely, yes Man City are capable of running up big scores whether playing home or away, but Swansea just don't have the goals in them to win by the required margin) I have mixed feelings about Swansea going down. They've offered something interesting...

    Match Day Swansea v Southampton

    They could still stay up like I said above, but Swansea seem to have really lost their way. Remarkable to think that at one point before this winless run started they actually had a higher points per game ratio than Sheffield Wednesday in the division below - I imagine many of their fans back...

    Welcome Oldham

    Were many Coventry fans confident of reaching the play-offs this season, or Blackpool fans going straight back up last year? I can't see how Oldham's situation is any worse, and even it is, they still went down with a much better team.
