Apologies , yes for the mighty North Ferriby. The final score was Port 2 North Ferriby 4

Guisley also had a fine away win by 2-1 at our old friends Macclesfield Town.

Some very sad news. Barrow lost 2-1 to a 94th minute winner at bottom of the Conference York

The 20-year-old Burnley loanee said he would 'forever smile and laugh at the minority'

Good man. It can't be easy when there are still knuckle-draggers roaming freely but laughing at them has got to be the best response. I'm not sure I'd find it as easy to laugh at them.

Looks like James Jennings is going to be in hot water after that game after video evidence of him apparently punching a player

I think it's very difficult for us able-bodied and mentally capable white males fully to comprehend the impact of discrimination of any type, as we simply don't fit into any persecuted minority. My nearest experience is being bullied, which I suppose discrimination is to some limited extent, although clearly not the same. 10/10 to Ntumba for his attitude, but the fact remains that he shouldn't have to deal with it.

Well, I'm definitely two of the four. Definitely not one of them. And I'll leave it up to others to decide about the remaining one!

Seriously, as a disabled person, I've not [yet] experienced any real blatant discrimination. I've come across some overt discrimination. Interestingly, two occasions of overt discrimination both occurred when I was taking photos for the club. As I was representing the club at the time, I won't go in to exact details, other than to say one experience was so poor that I will simply never return to that club. The other occasion was interesting. A kiosk had been sited on the pavement leading to the entrance that media were using but there was no drop curb. I asked for some help and was told in no uncertain terms that I should have phoned ahead to tell them I was using a wheelchair. Being an assertive person, I responded by pointing out their obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act/Equality Act with regard to access to goods & services. 'Grumpy' left and wasn't seen again but I was passed on to a different steward who helped me fine.

As I'm mentioning it, most places I've been have been excellent, but top marks go to Mansfield Town. Despite the challenges of an old stadium with the usual access issues, the stewards there were superb. They helped me get in to position, then the head safety officer came and had a chat with me. He brought another steward with him and told us both, "in the event that we have to evacuate, you [steward] come straight here and assist this gentleman in evacuation. Also, there are steps around the back of the stand [where the tea hut is]. If you want a drink or anything, just ask him [steward] and he'll go and get them for you". Superb, positive attitude and probably the only place that has really considered & planned for my safety. Shame the football was so dire!

But I know some people with disabilities who faced dreadful discrimination, including being abused in the street.

Only 2 of the other three eh?

White? I for one have never questioned your parentage Keith
Male? A little long in the tooth for gender dysphoria, although I guess it wasn't the sort of thing that was talked about when you were a younger man(?).
Mental incapacity? Well, you are a Morecambe fan.

Shrimps Legend Gary Thompson puts Wancome Wandering 3-2 up at Spurs

In the end a consolation goal as the 10 men of the much changed Tottenham line-up scored 2 late goals for a 4-3 win.

It will be the highlight of Thommo's career to score such a fine header in the final season of White Hart Lane.

Really? Better than his Wembley appearance for us when he scored one and made one?

[fulwoodshrimp]

What a great ball Garry played to Danny Carleton for our glorious winner at Wembley. A great day in the history of our club. I often tell people about my great treble at Wembley- the World Cup final in 66, the Shrimps FA Trophy win in 74 and our playoff win!!
