Seeing as it's "non-league day" on Saturday, I'll be going to watch a match in the football league, or a cup tie, or a semi-pro match in Wales as they obviously don't count as matches played by semi-professional players.

Why are people moaning about Wales losing a match they already knew they were going to lose? Relax, Wales have already qualified for the next world cup and 6nations.

They should rename "Football" as "Frustrating Displays Of Game Management Cynicism".
It's all I see, If I wasn't already standing there'd be nothing to raise me to my feet. Where's my poetry? Where's my splendour?

Disclaimer - FA Cup Replays should still take place
I feel sorry for Tamworth being denied a replay, they've lost their once in a lifetime chance to charge a non-refundable £125 for a place on a coach. #MagicOfTheCup

So Neil Young isn't playing Glastonbury. Fear not, I hear that the prized Sunday afternoon "ex-Colwyn Bay Manager slot" at this year's festival will be filled by Colin Caton instead.

Never assume, if you assume you'll be waiting an hour in Prestatyn on a Sunday morning. You'll have thought "I'm a regular train person that's running slightly late to Rhyl,l'll just catch the same train in Prestayn, because all trains stop in Rhyl and Prestatyn" Well, the train didn't stop did it.

Logic-free Holiday on the Buses. (a) When Arthur & Olive's cases end up in the River Clwyd on the way there they're travelling away from Prestatyn's Pontins. (b) The Mystery Tour; Stan needs to get back from Dyserth Falls in a hurry but doesn't turn right at the junction, he'd have saved 1/2 an hour

Is it ethical to write a match report using AI? Chris de Burgh's on BBC Four and I actually went to the match, so it's only like another person's opinion.
During this festive season, please spare a thought for those that became one-person media machines for semi-pro football clubs this afternoon. It's not all prawn sandwiches, leveraged buyouts and compulsory cup ticket schemes you know.
