Thoroughly deserved. Should've been three or four. Birch, Scully, Cummins, Taylor, Samuel and Capt Fantastic all exceptional. All the subs good as well. Need to take more of our chances but Fortress SJP was rocking. There are no outstanding teams in this league so let's push on. #ecfc

WE SCORED A GOAL. Cummins, Birch and a banging finish from Scully. You can stay, mate. #ecfc

Best 45 for ages but we should be ahead and I worry we'll pay for not scoring. Scully clearly has a football brain, links up play and makes lots of clever runs. Impressed. Birch is an upgrade on Harper and looks a threat. Memo to the manager: the long throws aren't working, please stop. #ecfc

WE SCORED A GOAL! Announcer said Appleton, I thought it was Rickhuss but, whatever. A short free kick and a flick past their 'keeper. 3-1 defeat against a better, stronger team but decent performances from Birch and Cayless. And lovely to meet @vivthesetter.bsky.social in the flesh. #ecfc

0-2 at ht. Harry K (otherwise solid) turned inside out for the 1st. 2nd due to acres of space on the left. Just like Sat, a) too big a gap between our lone striker and the midfield and b) the ball's not moved fast enough. George Birch steets above anyone else on the pitch. Ref poor, natch. #ecfc

I feel like one of those 60s anthropolgists on BBC2 looking for a lost city deep in the Mayan jungles of Guatemala. Except, I've come to SJP in search of an ECFC (men's) goal... Sept 1st vs Barnet was the last time we saw one. So, no pressure U21s, give us a goal. Or even two, please. #ecfc

Niall Duffy @nialltduffy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Two pretty ordinary teams today and fine margins. Rose worked hard but we don't win enough second balls or move it fast enough when we have it. George, Ethan and Andrew looked good but it's hard to see where the goals are coming from. I still think it'll be fine but a long season awaits... #ecfc

Decent first half though Rovers have had a couple of very presentable chances. Sutherland and Taylor look good but Rose is isolated. Midfielders having a pop from distance might be helpful, too. Need some pace so Oluwabori for Edwards, please. #ecfc

I've consulted with my legal team and can confirm I will be suing Manchester City for the trauma, stress and for getting really cold earlier this year when I saw #ecfc edged out of the FA Cup by 10 goals to one. In effect, this also means we are the current holders of the FA Cup. #seeyouincourt

Niall Duffy @nialltduffy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
I'm not as despondent as many around me. The defence is solid (Ed James MOTM), Reece Cole now plays 90 minutes every week and Danny Rose is as good a target man Wareham. Goals will come and so will the results. Let's just hope it's sooner rather than later... See you at The Memorial. #ecfc

Niall Duffy @nialltduffy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Even first 45 with both defences looking solid. Impressed with my first sight of Rose who has won most of his aerial battles. Our passing from midfield is actually good but JDH and Cummins need to gamble a bit more. More width and more low hard crosses, please, but I fear its another 0-0... #ecfc

Very happy with the Danny Rose signing. Knows the league and always looked a handful against us. Solid business and excited to see how he will compliment a team that looked really good in parts tonight. Up the City. #ecfc

Niall Duffy @nialltduffy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
On chances created we should've won but definitely our best performance this season against a big strong side. Back five all excellent, partic. Samuel and Harper. Cole seems fitter this season and kept going for 90. With a few additions up front we'll be fine. Poor officiating as ever. #ecfc

Niall Duffy @nialltduffy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Decent first 45. Should be ahead so let's hope it doesn't come back to bite us. They look decent. Oluwabori was terrorising the left back before he went off. Shame and let's hope its minor. Back three solid and Gordon working hard but most of the threat is coming from midfield. Cox winner! #ecfc

Best thing about this? A centre-back wearing number six. Get in. Centre Backs wear number six (and five, come to that) not a midfielder. This is a hill on which I am prepared to die. Welcome to SJP, young man. #ecfc

Niall Duffy @nialltduffy.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Fully deserved against a pretty poor Stanley. Should've been more. Back three is really strong and Fitzwater is a leader. Subs all very good and the finishing XI looked as solid as the starters. Edwards & Gordon still need to settle in but Sutherland will scare a lot of defences this year. #ecfc

Niall Duffy @nialltduffy.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Stanley are poor but we looked petty good that half. Cummins and JDH v. solid and allow the rest to play. Cole looks dangerous and the back three really strong. Ours to lose and we can hurt them with pace so hopefully Oluwabori will get a run, along with Sonny. Very happy so far. #ecfc

Spot on. And on the off chance you're reading this, lots of us there were embarrassed, Alex. People who glibly say 'Once a Grecian, Always a Grecian' and then dish out that level of abuse to one of our own because of a career choice are pretty pathetic. #ecfc www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Great game to be fair and on that evidence we will stay up. 0-0 til the 92nd minute was way more than I expected. Oluwabori and the back three all impressive. Personally embarrassed by the Hartridge chants. We should be better than that. Good luck for the rest of the season, Janners. #ecfc #pafc

Can't say I'm looking forward to tonight. I'm normally glass half full but this is a thin, and young, squad. Every game this season will be a 'Hope no-one gets injured' scenario. Anyway, come on you reds, and to my Argyle pals, be gentle with me... #ecfc #PLYEXT

Try overnight oats, they said. It's great and saves you time in the morning. Yeah, if you want to eat cold, undercooked porridge. Back to toast and marmite tomorrow. Thank you for coming to the world's dullest TED talk. Back to the football soon and the impending slaughter at Home Park.

Human 'progress', folks. Ask yourself if you are complicit in such suffering and cruelty, and think about the choices you make every day. It is possible to change, and to make the world a slightly better place in doing so. Or you can look away and ignore what our species has become. #vegan

In 2001, this RSPCA advert was banned from being shown on UK television after complaints by the industry. It was true then, and its true now. Chicken is the worst 'welfare' choice you can make. If you genuinely care about animals, go vegan. #vegan youtu.be/pRjPOLccyMg?...

Made the mistake of watching the first hour of the FA Cup final. So very, very dull and why is it that nobody is allowed to tackle anyone without it being a foul? Roll on League 2 in August and some proper football. #facup

Ho hum. Rebuild next year on the money we get for Wareham. Give the Academy lads a proper run and establish an identity. A few old hands (I'd keep McDonald if his legs can manage it - we looked loads better with him) and we'll be competitive. The Taylor experiment failed, by the way. #ecfc

Wareham isolated and Gomes utterly ineffectual. Need to go 442 with Magennis up front, supported by Tuterov. The game is bypassing midfield so go long and wide. Poor football all round but the usual shocking refereeing. 45 minutes to save the season. #ecfc

We got away with that. County are a good side but tired in the second half. Beat Burton and I reckon we'll stay up but the final day will be twitchy. In 55 years of watching football - first game in 1971 - I have never seen a goalkeeper score. Jack Bycroft, you are the reason I am hoarse. #ecfc
Jack Bycroft scolded a goal. It's true, watch the highlights.

Two tired looking defences today. Norwood and Osborne are running things a bit too much for my liking. Wareham needs support because there are definitely more goals in this game. Niskanen is off the pace today, I'm afraid. Tuterov please, and I think we can get something out of this. #ecfc
