So another tournament, another goal-less 90 minutes, and another penalty shootout for England to overcome.
Given that England's record in penalties is almost as bad as a Justin Bieber record, it shouldn't have surprised anybody that England will now be heading home before the finals a week today.
Yet, it somehow doesn't seem fair - England have been the grafters of Euro 2012 and have really tried hard to do well this tournament. The attitude and commitment shown by the players was a rea

(You'll need Adobe to read it - quite an interesting article about how the FAW is letting Wales down in domestic and international football).
Today, Cardiff City Football Club quite literally went into the red.
Their traditional blue home kit has been ditched, after weeks of speculation, and replaced with a red home kit for next season. Cardiff City's blue kit will now be for away matches only.
Understandably, there has been a lot of shock, anger and upset from fans who want the blue home shirts to stay. They are angry that the club chose to ignore them and make the changes without any consultation with the fans, and many fa
With ten places being created at Steps 3 & 4 for the 2013-14 season, there is a need to move more teams up the pyramid.
One suggestion, being discussed on the NLM Forum is to encourage Northern League sides to make a step up. However, a lot of these sides are, quite understandably, reluctant to move up as their travel costs will go up. With petrol prices higher than Keith Richards on a good day, this expense alone will severely drain the financial resources of clubs and may force more

Hello,
My first blog of the season covers my trip to Waltham Abbey to see their FA Trophy match with Grays Athletic. Not exactly the most picturesque of venues, but then I guess this was all about the football and not the scenery!!
On paper, Grays should have been the clear favourites, but Waltham Abbey came out of the traps like greyhounds and deservedly took the lead. The defense and particularly the goalkeeper of Grays looked very shaky and I feared the worst for them as WA continued
The latest "Massey's Mutterings" on the website shows Steve in another photo which although he can look back now and laugh, at the time his manager, Brian Horton at Hull City, didn't think the same.
Steve tells the story on his weekly page.

This week's "Massey's Mutterings" not only sees the author sporting a remarkable tight fit pair of shorts when being introduced to the media when the signed for Hull City back in 1983, but also Steve gets an early shot in against rival Charity match manager! Not very charitable!!!

We all know how well Sir Alex has done at United, but Cornwall has its own version in Perranwell's manager Dave Fisher.

Sad news about an ex-highly rated past referee passing away features amongst the CORNISH SOCCER website's Massey's Mutterings. Steve also has a rant about clubs' budgets!!!! Oh dear!

It has been revieled that Gary Mills has a keen interest in Ben Purkiss returning to the club... He stated "I have always had an eye on Ben even before I was at York." Anyones thoughts on this?
He is also unsure about the futures of Barrett, Carruthers, Constantine, Darville, Knight, Mackin, McDermott, Till and Young, who are all out of contract.
Brodie who is now with Fleetwood, wanted to retur to York but was turned down instantly, does this suggest that Brodie did not want to leave in
Hi All,
Managed to get a Media Pass for the Blue Square Conference South Play-Off Final between Farnborough and Ebbsfleet Utd. There was obviously a lot of tension beforehand due to the enormity of this match, and the fact that this was Farnborough's highest ever gate proved that both sets of supporters were expectant that their team was going to get through. The stewards even had to open another section of the ground to get all of the away supporters in and the kick-off was inevitably delay
Hello,
I was lucky enough to get a Media Pass to the FA Trophy Final last Saturday between Darlington & Mansfield Town. I was hoping the game would be quite exciting what with both teams doing OK in the league but being out of the play-offs, so they should have had nothing to lose. However it turned out that they had everything to lose as this was their only opportunity of success this season. Both teams played very cautiously and were concentrating more on keeping the opposing team out
Congratulations to Camelford at winning the SWPL Division One West today. They only lost twice all season, but it's not been until today, the penultimate game of the season that they were able to clinch promotion.
Hi All,
I was in Margate on Saturday to see their Ryman Premier League match against Kingstonian. This was a dead rubber for Margate, but Kingstonian were after a win to push them into the play-offs.
No surprise then to see Kingstonian come out of the blocks like greyhounds, and they cruised into a 3-0 lead within the first half an hour. It seemed like they were on a mission, to not only get into the play-offs but also to let the other teams in the play-offs know that they were the team
Hi.
Just back from Ebbsfleet where I saw Chelmsford City beat Ebbsfleet Utd 3-1.
I did think that after the first 15 minutes that the home team were dominant and that there would only be one winner. They were one up through a towering header from Tom Phipp and were on the offensive, looking dangerous in attack and solid at the back. However, Rob Edmans equaliser seemed to change the whole complexion of the game, and at 1-1 Chelmsford pushed on and Ebbsfleet never really got back into th
