Tazio Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 To break up all the serious chat on the board here are the highlights of a game from the Isthmian League. Quite a lot of football edited down to 2’00”. It’s got it all, dreadful misses, shockingly bad skill, fights, and then the cherry on top, a very “special” tackle around the 1’30” mark. You’ve got to love lower league games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The last chance and the one where the boy seemed to faint just before shooting were the best/worst. Sort of reminded me of one or two of our away games in early 2021. Ayr in particular. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 That first rammy where the blue team player shoved the red team player right into his pals coupon then started shoving him about again like that was his fault. Also what's with the Scotland flag flying high behind the stand behind the right hand goal? It's in Brighton FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just about to post that, how on earth did that player think the ref would send the other guy off. The diving in that game is something awful. That tackle is mental, but the player seems to be protesting to the ref that he got the ball, despite never going near the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 When I lived in a shitehole home county for a few years in the mid-90s, this was the level of football on offer. I don't remember it being as bad as in that video. The grounds were always a laugh; old railway sleepers piled up behind each goalmouth acting as terracing, fans changing ends at half time, portacabins being used for dressing rooms/club bar; perhaps a single, lonely bit of seated, covered stand for the club directors to hunker down in. £5 would buy you a ticket into the ground and a massive half-pounder burger with onions from a van which was the only catering on offer. Tonbridge Angels was my local team back then; they're currently one league above the mentalists in the video on this thread. They were in the Isthmian Premier Division for ages before finally getting promoted to the National League South after beating the Met Police team 3-2 in a single-leg playoff, an extra time winner away from home sealing the deal. Longmead Stadium has actually been improved since I was resident in the area. Capacity 3,000. 720 seated. The radges in the video were so radge because they're 13th and 14th in their table and fighting for every point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Numbers Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 My gawd that's funny, especially loved the bit at 40s when one blue guy shoved the wee no4 into the blue 11 who pats the back of no4's head, only for him to wait a second and fall down a-la-Boyle, fantastic!

I'm doing a tour of that sort of ground this season as one of my sons is playing Isthmian league. That looks like one of the better grounds/pitches; there isn't half some shite grounds on offer for supposed "semi-professional" football. Not come across a half pound burger at any of the grounds yet. I still balk at being asked to pay a fiver to watch my own son play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Well the big main stand with blue seats wasn't there when I lived down there, and neither were the two stands behind the goals. Seems that progress comes to every ground, eventually, even in non-league football. It was a cheap way to entertain your kids of a weekend. Drop them off at 2pm, pick them up at 5. Five quid for getting the kids out of your hair for three hours. Bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely barking mad! https://whitehawkfc.com/five-shown-red-in-bewildering-loss-to-three-bridges/ I think everyone who loved the video should have a look at this. It's reminding me of the old early 20th century Hearts reports you find on the London Hearts site - I get it they've done this on purpose, but it really is magnificent. Either that or they are just as crazy as the players! Great find mate! ahem, "Nevertheless, it is he who will be celebrating at the referee’s final whistle. Mystified by the previous two hours, the faces of the fans who streamed towards the exit were one of puzzlement. Shall we laugh? Shall we cry? Do both, let the saudade tears flow through the streets of Brighton. And remember this not as a game of football, but as a metaphor to all the past bloody battles this world has seen. Here’s praying to the sporting Gods above that what was witnessed beneath the six bright white lights of Whitehawk on Monday, January 3rd will never, ever happen again" - is magnificent.

Costanza Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 That's a glorious watch. The protesting of the tackle and the miss at the end 😄 The guys attempt on goal 47 secs in was also a laugh out loud moment. Liquid football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
