Burnley have sacked manager Nicky Hayen following a 4-1 defeat to newly promoted Lincoln City which leaves the Clarets 22nd and in the relegation places. Burnley have won just ONE of their 12 league games this season! A 4-0 away win to Watford which maybe some fans thought was the turning point But since then, they have lost to Wolves and today Lincoln + a draw to Charlton. Hayen who is from Belgium has managed mostly in his home country but did have a spell at Haverfordwest! In wales.. (We are saying nothing) Thought's Burnley fans? #Burnley #burnleyfc #clarets #football #EFL #Championship #football #Lancashire

The FA Cup TV selections have been confirmed for the 1st round! 📺 many of the lower league sides facing EFL sides at home are on tv which is great to see. @WimborneTownFC facing struggling League Two Crawley Town at home. @SRFCofficial who hammered National League side Gateshead have the cameras for their home game with Grimsby Town. @OxCityFC welcome Leicester City which has also been chosen for TV. @OfficialWands also have a huge day as they welcome Stockport County in front of the TV cameras. It is also great to see two Southern Premier League South clubs face one another as @PlymouthPFC welcome @BerkoFC and it's been picked for TV. Albeit a brutal trip on a Monday for Berko fans. Shame only two of the games are on free to air terrestrial TV however. #FACup #𝗙𝗔𝗖𝘂𝗽 #EmiratesFACup #firstround #football #MagicOfTheCup #RoadToWembley #nonleaguefootball #nonleague #EFL

Bromley have sacked manager Andy Woodman after over 5 years at the club, he was English football's 3rd longest serving manager. The Ravens are currently 2nd bottom after 10 league games and lost 4-0 to Leicester City midweek but regardless of that, this seems incredibly harsh given all he has achieved with the club. They won their first ever trophy back in 2021 / 22 when they won the FA Trophy at Wembley against Wrexham. Then in 2024, he earned them promotion to the football league for the first time in their 132 year history. They then survived and if that wasn't good enough, last year earned promotion AGAIN and now play in league one. Naturally, you are going to find your level and have bumps in the road and we do wonder if this one will come back to bite Bromley. Good luck to Andy Woodman moving forward, clearly a very good manager. Be interesting to know Bromley fans thoughts. #Bromley #bromleyfc #football #Ravens #leaguetwo #EFL #AndyWoodman

Crystal Palace fans enjoying themselves out in Istanbul last night ahead of facing Besiktas later. The song goes like this - to the tune of Billy Ocean’s "Love Really Hurts Without You" "Timber, we're going to Frankfurt with you, with Pino and Strand Larsen too, and we're on the charge with Pierre Sage." 👏🏻👏🏻 🦅 Video 📹 credit goes to @J_CPFC on X 🤝 #CPFC #crystalpalace #palace #Istanbul #besiktas #football #UEL #EuropaLeague

👏🏼 A MASSIVE shout-out to Jersey Bulls FC! 👏🏼 The Bulls are unbeaten in the Isthmian League South Central Division (Step 4) after 12 league games this season! But what's even more impressive is that last night's 1-0 home win over Moneyfields extended their unbeaten league run to an incredible 31 MATCHES in regular time, stretching all the way back to 30th December 2025! 🔥⚽ And here's where it gets even more interesting... The Bulls have actually achieved this before! During the 2019/20 season, the Bulls inaugural campaign in the English football pyramid, Jersey won ALL 27 league matches before the season was cut short and declared void due to the pandemic. They then won their opening 4 league games of the 2020/21 season, taking their winning streak to an incredible 31 matches before that season was also abandoned! Unfortunately, because both seasons were declared void, we believe that previous 31-match run doesn't count towards the official club record. 🏆 BUT HISTORY COULD BE MADE THIS SATURDAY! Jersey Bulls travel to Hendon knowing that if they avoid defeat, they will extend their current unbeaten run to 32 CONSECUTIVE LEAGUE MATCHES and, we believe, set a new official club record! What an absolutely outstanding achievement this would be! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 COME ON YOU BULLS! 🐂⚽ #Jersey #JerseyBulls #IsthmianLeague #nonleague #nonleaguefootball @JerseyBullsFC

What an historic night for Cray Wanderers in the FA Cup! The Wands, who are based in South East London, play in the seventh tier of the football pyramid in the Isthmian League Premier Division, are recognised as the oldest football club in London and one of the oldest in the world, having been established in 1860, but they have never reached the first round of the FA Cup... Well, they have now! Tonight they beat National League South side Bedford Town 4-3 on penalties after the game finished 2-2 AET! Cray Wanderers will now host League One leaders Stockport County in the first round of the FA Cup! What a story! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 @OfficialWands #FACup #isthmian_league_premier_division #IsthmianLeague #Nonleague #stockport #stockportcounty

Congratulations to Tier 7 side Worcester City FC, who have caused an upset by knocking National League North side Chorley out of the FA Cup with an 89th-minute goal in a 1-0 win! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Worcester City will now travel to Colchester United in the first round proper in what will be a tough game against the League Two side, but you never know in the FA Cup! #FACup #Worcester #WorcesterCity #chorley #nonleaguefootball #Nonleague @WorcesterCityFc

A big shout out to @Alvechurch1st who hammered @SpaldingUnited 4-0 tonight in the FA Cup replay to book their place in the First round! 👏🏻 The Church now face Plymouth Argyle away! Alvechurch who drew away to National League North Spalding at the weekend, got the job done in style tonight. A fantastic trip down to Devon now awaits for the Southern Premier League Central Division side. They will get to test themselves against League One Plymouth Argyle at Home Park. A long trip, but an exciting one! Many congratulations! 🏆⚽️ #FACup #𝗙𝗔𝗖𝘂𝗽 #EmiratesFACup #Alvechurch #Spalding #nonleaguefootball #nonleague #RoadToWembley

What a night for Stafford Rangers Football Club, who have knocked National League side Gateshead out of the FA Cup with an emphatic 5-0 win in front of a sold-out crowd of over 3,000! Stafford Rangers, who reside in the Northern Premier League Division One West in the eighth tier of the football pyramid, have now battled through 6 rounds, having started in the extra preliminary round back in August, which has also included 2 replays! Extra preliminary - Stafford Rangers 5–0 Tividale Preliminary - Stafford Rangers 2–1 Matlock Town 1st qualifying - Stafford Rangers 3–0 Northampton ON Chenecks 2nd qualifying - Stafford Rangers 3–2 Hereford 3rd qualifying - Stafford Rangers 1–1 Halesowen Town 3rd qualifying replay - Halesowen Town 1–2 Stafford Rangers 4th qualifying - Gateshead 1–1 Stafford Rangers. Stafford now find themselves in the 1st round proper for the first time in 20 years and will face League 2 Grimsby Town at home! What a fantastic achievement! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #FACup #Stafford #StaffordRangers #Gateshead #nonleaguefootball #nonleague @SRFCofficial

Tonight sees the FA Cup 🏆 4th qualifying round replays take centre stage! 11 matches that all have the potential for an FA Cup upset! Tadley Calleva FC and Stafford Rangers, both of whom started in the extra preliminary round, have already come through five gruelling rounds and will play their eighth match of the season in the FA Cup tonight! Both are at home to National League opposition tonight in their respective replays and will dream of first-round proper ties against Barnsley and Grimsby Town, respectively, if they can pull off a shock. If any match finishes in a draw tonight, there will be 30 minutes of extra time followed by a penalty shootout! Best of luck to all teams and players taking part, and safe travels to all the supporters who will hopefully be witnessing an historic night for their football clubs and community! Let us know if you are off to any of these games and feel free to send us your videos/pictures. @LeatherheadFC @buryfcofficial #buryfc, @TheNomadsFc @GCAFCofficial @WorcesterCityFc @OfficialWands @Alvechurch1st @FCUnitedMcr @TadleyCallevaFC @SRFCofficial @cheshamutdfc #FACup #nonleague #nonleaguefootball

To say that by the time Cristiano Ronaldo read about his fine, he'd probably already paid it off is no exaggeration 😂 he earns €8.69 (£7.32) a second at Al Nassr, so 30 seconds and his €255 (£214) fine is paid. Why have the Portuguese football association even bothered! 😆 #Portuguese #Portugal #Ronaldo #cristiano #CristianoRonaldo #football #europe #alnassr

Bury FC have sold out their full allocation of 1,050 for tomorrow night's FA Cup fourth qualifying round replay against National League side Harrogate Town! Outstanding support! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The Shakers held Harrogate to a 1-1 draw at Gigg Lane last Saturday in front of 4910 fans and will be hoping to pull off an FA Cup shock by beating a team that plays two levels above them. If Bury do go through, it will be the first time they have reached the first round proper since the club's re-formation. #buryfc #Bury #Harrogate #Shakers #FACup #nonleaguefootball #nonleague @buryfcofficial

SIX Portuguese Primeira Liga sides were dumped out of the Taça De Portugal over the weekend to lower league sides! Some being as low as the 4th tier! Some fantastic results for sides lower down the pyramid. 4th tier sides Sanjoanense and Fátima had the biggest of upsets beating Primera sides Nacional and Academico Viseu respectively, both 1-0. The upsets are following a lovely trend from last season where 2nd division Torreense beat Sporting in the final. 🏆⚽️🇵🇹 #Portugal #Portuguese #TaçadePortugal #Tacadeportugal #PrimeiraLiga #football #Portuguesecup #cupupset

3rd Tier side @TredegarTownFC travelled to Welsh Premier league side Barry Town on Saturday in the Welsh Cup, a brilliant following considering they usually only get 100 - 150 fans at home games. They lost the game 2-0 but they certainly had fans laughing with this chant "Where the Fu*K is Uncle Bryn" 😂 Fans of Gavin & Stacey will of course get this one. 👏🏻🏆⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #Wales #WelshCup #Cymru #nonleaguefootball #nonleague #Barry #BarryTown
