It amazes me that you can get so worked up about a non-league side playing 6 levels below United that has no impact whatsoever on what happens at Old Trafford.

Glad you are, because the league table makes poor reading from our point of view

You're just setting your sights too high mate.

Did you not notice the notice the wink.
When FCUM stop being obsessed with United although they are nothing to do with the club then I will stop having a dig.
And it will continue to amuse me when the so called "rebels" lose.

Without wanting this to turn into the usual slanging match, in which ways do you see FC as being 'obsessed' with Man Utd? Taking into account that pretty much everyone who goes to FC supports MUFC, and many people attend both Gigg Lane and Old Trafford.

If FCUM are referred to as 'Rebels' and they are also obsessed by MUFC, who may be referred to as red 'Devils' we may have a mascot costume they'd be interested in?!

[apologies for mentioning something that's SCR related on here?!]

without wanting to stir up any of the petty arguments again, but doesn't that fly in the face of the whole "i'm never going again while glazer is in charge" attitude which was the whole basis behind FCUM getting off the ground in the first place?

Anyway back to the football

The Ammies were yet again spectacularly got beat (again) 6 Nil by Stourbridge 6 in the FA Trophy, it just keep getting better and better

Irlam lost 3 Nil to AFC Liverpool in front of 256 supporters quite easily the biggest crowd of their season.

Blimey. Seems less Liverpool supporters are willing to vote with their feet given their predicament.

Not everyone who was involved with getting FC off the ground said that. From the very start it was open to all United fans, whether they still went to Old Trafford/other United games or not. In fact, there's a few young lads who had never had the opportunity to follow their team in the flesh before, who got their first match-going experiences at FC. They're now going home and away with United.

I understand that the club isn't for everyone, but that doesn't mean people have the right to have a pop at those of us who follow FC without a clear understanding of what the club is about. And God forbid a club set up and supported by life-long Manchester United fans keeps a Manchester United connection amongst it's fan-base, eh?

Anyway, we're just going over and over old ground here. Onto the football.

FC beat Radcliffe Borough 1-0 in the FA Trophy First Qualifying Round yesterday with a 90th minute goal from Adam Turner. It saved what had been the dullest game of football I've seen for 3 years!

Frickley away on Wednesday. Should be an interesting night judging by the town's reputation!
