>BOREHAM WOOD LEADING
>botchedale
Saw this on the BBC livetext of the National League final:>Arthur, Oldham: National League sides should get their house in order in terms of some sort of FFP and mirror the EFL transfer windows. Only then is it going to be 3 up.He's unironically correct. Want more places to league football? Start acting like league football.

>salford winning>mk dons promoted>arsenal winning the pl>celtic winning the spl>spurs staying up
>>154608692>>154608692Aren't 4/24 teams in the National League not even professional?The virgins of Worthing & Hornchurch have came up from National South, it's probably a bit more now.
>>154608826at least we have a 104 game world cup (72 game group stage) to lift your spirits!
Refs are starting to fuck over Grimsby a bit
>League 2 playoff semi clashing with National League final>Two League 2 second legs clashing next Fridaywhy would they do this?they usually spread it out so you can watch it allI should know given it's what I do every fucking May
>>154608882National League are retarded and the FA are retarded for treating the FA Cup like shit
>>154608839I thought Worthing had been in before, but then I got them confused with Woking.
>win 6 more games than opponents>invade own pitch to prematurely celebrate promotion>miss promotion in finalLMAOLMAOOOO
Rochdale mega choke.
>>154609044>>invade own pitch to prematurely celebrate promotionCan it be genuinely classed as the worst pitch invasion of all time?
>>154609053imagine invading your own pitch just to end up staying in the same divisionkekKEK
>>154609069slavia's own fans just invaded the pitch minutes before they were supposed to win the title, if they forfeit the game and choke the league it'll officially be the worst
>>154609044Crazy
ROUTE ONE
one back!
HOWEVER
Attendances:>National League Playoff Final 2025 - Oldham vs Southend: 52k>National League Playoff Final 2026 - Boreham Wood vs Rochdale: 17.5koh dear oh dear oh dear oh dearwhat could be the explanation
>>154609240It's Boreham Wood.
>>154609265and your point boy, spit it out
>>154609306You couldn't work out the inference? They have no fans.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
HOPY FUCKING SHITTTT
The poor bastards have taken their star Abdulmalik off too. An UNWISE decision perhaps.
>le score important last minute goals man
Based Rochdale. Based Conference Kino.
I want Boreham Wood to win just so Rochdale's pitch invasion is hilarious.If Rochdale win it just means their celebrations were postponed by 2 weeks which is FAR less funny.
>there hasn't been a National League play-off final that was won in 90 minutes since 2020>>154609507>pitch invading at Wembley
>>154609531>>pitch invading at WembleyFuck's sake I can't read properly.
>>154609531>>154609538
>>154609531>>there hasn't been a National League play-off final that was won in 90 minutes since 2020think it's because teams are naturally excessively cautious in a final but because the quality is a few ticks down they can't pour all their energy into defence and goals inevitably leak throughquite a kino combination
>hmm today I will take off my two best players now that we have a 2-0 lead^ clueless
>That goal from Emmanuel Dieseruvwe was his fifth against Boreham Wood this season. They will be glad to see the back of him.>It is also the third goal he has scored in stoppage time - the winner at Braintree to keep alive their title hopes, that goal against York which almost got them up and now today.That is quite remarkable
>>154609586based lower league journeyman
>>154609568bear in mind, this Boreham Wood manager has been with them a while>there when Boreham Wood were relegated in 2024>They sack him, but then panic and rehire him in the 24/25 season>Rehiring pays off and Boreham Wood win the 24/25 National South playoffs>He gets them to this playoff final and they have the chance to become the first team ever to get successive playoff final wins in the National North/South and National Leaguewonder if they'll sack him AGAIN after this in hindsight it was an egregious decision though of courseAbdulmalik was the star of the game by a mile.
>>154609609reminds me of Akinfenwa in L1/L2 always fun watching the playoffs every year and he pops up out of the fucking blue nearly every year (I'm an EPL baby from August-April) seems like it'd be a fun life
>>154609609Both him and Devante Rodney were ex-Wednesday youfs. That whole 2010s academy era produced a lot of lower EFL/Conference career players. Alex Hunt is another one who now plays for York City. Conor Grant at Notts County, etc.
some guy in the crowd with a whistle
>>154609721unc what year are you from oh my DAYS
>>154609739Yeah I live in Sheff, there's plenty of them. All the decent ones go to Sheff United and have done for my whole life>Harry Maguire>Kyle Walker>Jagielka>Billy Sharp>Kevin Davies>David Brooks>Ramsdale>Osula>Calvert-Lewin>Matt Lowton
>>154609748my bad mate let me translate it to zoomerese for you>finna gonna skibidi these tung tung tung sahurs>^ 67>adrian ong
>>154609721I enjoyed it lad
>>154609834Wednesday's academy basically got shut down to bare bones in the 2000s due to their shit financial situation (nothing new lol) but yeah, the Blades have had a good academy rep since then. I completely forgot that Harry Maguire played in the playoff final way back in 2011-12 when they lost to Huddersfield. He's been around for ages at this point.Kyle Noughton was another Sheff Utd kid from that era that was one for the future but he didn't pan out after his move to Spurs.
>>154609911Naughton was class as a youth, he looked as good as Walker both in the same position but he was a year older I think and Walker overtook him soon enough. He should have made more of his career really, Tottenham was the wrong place for him.Zak Brunt and Kyron Gordon today are another two. I thought Brunt would be at a higher level by now desu.
Fuck me you want to be scoring that
PENULTIES
>kid flashing his tits on the big screenAbsolute madman
>>154610071:DDDDD
>>154610090...think you might be watching a different channel lad
STRONG HAND
>>154610153Shoulda got a pic but I'm on a shitty stream and don't wanna jinx it.Also, WHAT A SAVE!
are there literally any boreham wood fans thereall the crowd shots are 100% rochdale lmao
OGREROCHDALE PROMOTED
>>1546102163UP IS DEAD FOR ANOTHER YEAR
Just need to draw your attention to the fact that the goalkeepers names in this match were Ted Curd and Oliver Whatmuff.
>2018>make final>opponents get a man sent off in less than a minute>play the whole match with an extra man>lose>2026>make final>go 2-0 up>take off best players>concede twice including with the last kick of the 90>loseName a more cucked non-league team
18yo northerner sounds like he's 35
reckon boreham wood's attendance is so low because Arsenal just happened to be playing at the same timeotherwise it'd have been a full house
When did Paul Cook start sounding like he swallows gravel every dayHe was never as bad as he is now
>>154610298because he didn't use ebonics
Mattering only to me, the FA Sunday Cup was also decided today at Bramall LaneHome Bargains FC of Liverpool beat AFC Supporters of Hartlepool on penalties. Apparently there was some crowd trouble lel
>>154614260>playing in Bayern kitskek wtfhttps://x.com/Liverpool_CFA/status/2053486888736952567Surreal. Someone somewhere is a Home Bargains lifelong.
