It’s time for goalkeepers to start heading panenkas away, it’s going to take that to stop them seeing as a very public humiliation in an international tournament final didn’t work.

I really miss when Big Brother was a thing and they'd ask a Craig, Nikki, Bubble, Michelle or Vanessa their opinions on conflict in the Middle East.

A couple of ex-reds kicking around there too.

Not much sisterhood on International Women’s Day after that, if my ears didn’t deceive me there was one especially cutting comment from one of her former team mates as the game got a little loose, even though she sent off one from the opposition as well. You couldn’t pay me enough to do that job.

Elsewhere in the Adran Leagues, Connah’s Quay as good as sealed their place in the promotion playoff with this win, if they won that there’s a nice close away day for #wxmafc - it was a humdinger, and spare your sympathy for the teenage ref who sent off someone she played with a year ago 🤣

The perils of not taking chances while on top, but if there was a game to lose of the three maybe it was that one? Trophy banked, title in Wrexham hands making the other two essential - not clutching at straws honest! #wxmafc

When I (very) first started in radio (in 1991), it was frowned upon to play 2 x female vocalists back-to-back. 3 x female vocalists back-to-back would have earned you a talking to.

I think it was a rule of thumb pretty much everywhere.

A rule of thumb we ignored with great enthusiasm x

If it’s any consolation, Brunt definitely has to follow that ball in #wxmafc

In a different time the chairmen of Widnes, St Helens and Hull KR would all be racing to the petrol station.

Disgraceful behaviour from a prop to score a try like that, not sure it’s even allowed #irevwal #sixnations

If I had the talent to be a rugby player/captain you’d all be bored shitless because it would be rare indeed to see me turning down three points in the circumstances Wales just did #irevwal #sixnations

If a guy going for a Scooter vibe who can bring the Wrexham effect into the mix doesn't win then it's time to finally jack it in. I've since found that he now lives in the place I spent my first ten years so I've got to behind the lad with maximum force.

When I was at Exeter University there was a guy who called himself Arthur Pendragon who ended up in the dock because he kept walking around with a sword. I saw him once buying milk in a Co-op.

Well, I'm going to celebrate World Book Day by juggling Cymru Fydd by William Owen Roberts, a Welsh book which is too difficult for me and is going to take me months, and Aidan Williams' book about Euro 84. Because this page is never not on brand.

Football’s converging moral panics hold up a mirror to our fractured world | Jonathan Liew From grappling at corners to VAR, the endless list of complaints reflects a wider sense of dislocation from ‘the product’

One was a jazz drummer but I don’t know his proper job. One was a nurse, signed off sick young & my grandma’s job of looking after pre-adoption babies took over. The latter is an adoptive grandparent; what the blood relative did is a mystery but I know he was arrested for stealing Fray Bentos pies.

Careful, still reeling from dealing with pre-match cider overload at Rushden & Diamonds (!) with a player getting treatment right up the other end. Came back out in time for post-goal celebrations and people laughing at me as I walked up the stairs. Would have seen it if I hadn’t washed my hands.

Man decided to break into the Chester stadium. Turned up and saw there was nobody around and thought no better time to get in than now when it’s empty. Only caught because the 22 players saw him climbing down the main stand…

Definitely worth thinking about how Wales’ 1994 championship win would be framed if it happened now, as when Ieuan Evans got the first ever trophy in defeat at Twickenham he looked like he’d lost a pound and found a penny.

Elsewhere in Welsh football, Barry Town have ensured that TNS will win neither domestic cup. Not to be sniffed at these days.

Lex 0 Dolgellau 3 28/2/2026 Mae stori Lex yn 2025/26 yn ddiddorol, gan gynnwys cymysg o lwyddiant a thrafferthion. Ar ôl iddyn nhw orffen yn ail yn Gynghrair Gogledd Ddwyrain Cymru, ro’n nhw’n edrych ymlaen at eu hymgyrch cyn…

Er eu hymdrechion, mae Lex dal yn aros am eu buddugoliaeth cyntaf y tymor hwn ar ôl tair gôl Dolgellau yn Ardal Northeast ond mae’r clwb yn gwneud gwaith da mewn amgylchiadau anodd #peldroed
