The Final also went to extra time to demonstrate just how competitive the Premier Division has been this season and after playing the role bridesmaid twice already this season ILKESTON TOWN finally made it to the altar beating Nantwich 2-1 in front of a crowd approaching 2,000. Just as in the top Division it was second and third place teams BELPER TOWN and STOCKSBRIDGE PS who made the First Division South play-off final with the latter having a convincing 5-2 win thanks to a Mark Ward treble against CARLTON TOWN whilst Belper needed just the one goal to oust RUSHALL OLYMPIC. In the Final it was third place Stocksbridge that came out on top thanks to one strike from Andy Ring. There was a big shock in the First Division North play-offs, however, when CURZON ASHTON knocked out second place SKELMERSDALE UNITED after finishing a massive eighteen points adrift of “Skem” whose manager Tommy Lawson must hate the end of season lottery having lost three times in it, twice with Skelmersdale in the last two seasons and once previously with Prescot Cables. NEWCASTLE BLUE STAR then set up the possibility of a North East promotion double following Durham’s success in lifting the title the previous Saturday when they beat COLWYN BAY on penalties on Wednesday and they duly obliged after Curzon failed to repeat their midweek heroics going down 4-1 at Blue Star.

  • Marcus Rashford
    Marcus Rashford Marcus Rashford is a footballer who plays for Manchester United. He is well known for his charity work and for speaking about issues that he feels strongly about. In June 2020, Marcus wrote a letter to UK MPs that asked them to rethink a decision that he thought would leave many children hungry. Early Life Marcus Rashford was born on the 31st October 1997. When he was seven years old, he joined the Manchester United academy system. At 11, Marcus’s mum asked if he could start a programme that meant that he would be able to live closer to where he was training. Usually, the programme is only available when children are 12 but Marcus was allowed in a year early. When talking about his childhood, Marcus mentions the difficult decisions that his mum had to make so that he could have the best chance at success. Football Career In February 2016, Marcus played his first match for Manchester United in the Premier League. During this match, Marcus scored two goals and his team won. In May 2016, Marcus played for England. During his first match for the national team, he scored a goal in the third minute of the game: this made him the youngest ever player to score a goal for England in their first match. Charity Work When the UK went into lockdown to help to slow the spread of COVID-19, Marcus wanted to do something to help. As a result, he started working with a charity called FareShare. They collect food that is no longer needed and take it to charities who turn it into meals for people who are in need.

  • A Comparative Study of After-Match Reports on 'Lost'and 'Won'football
    International Journal of Applied Linguistics & English Literature ISSN 2200-3592 (Print), ISSN 2200-3452 (Online) Vol. 4 No. 1; January 2015 Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia A Comparative Study Of After-match Reports On ‘Lost’ And ‘Won’ Football Games Within The Framework Of Critical Discourse Analysis Biook Behnam Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Hasan Jahanban Isfahlan (Corresponding Author) Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Received: 09-07-2014 Accepted: 02-09-2014 Published: 01-01-2015 doi:10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 Abstract In spite of the obvious differences in research styles, all critical discourse analysts aim at exploring the role of discourse in the production and reproduction of power relations within social structures. Nowadays, after-match written reports are prepared immediately after every football match and provide the readers with the apparently objective representations of important events and occurrences of the game. The authors of this paper analyzed four after-match reports (retrieved from Manchester United’s own website), two regarding their lost games and two on their won games. Hodge and Kress’s (1996) framework was followed in the analysis of the grammatical features of the texts at hand. Also, taking into consideration the pivotal role of lexicalization as one dimension of the textualization process (Fairclough, 2012), vocabulary and more specifically the choice of specific verbs, nouns, adverbs and noun or noun phrase modification were examined.

  • BMO Management Strategies of Football Clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie
    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.

  • Season 2014-2015
    Season 2014-2015 Season Review - Results – Tables - Statistics Compiled by Alan Allcock with editorial by Dave Watters The 2014 -15 EVO -STIK Northern Premier League campaign will be widely remembered as the season FC Unit ed of Manchester celebrated their tenth anniversary by avoiding the heartbreak of the play-offs to finally win promotion as top flight champions. Not many will forget the mark by Curzon Ashton either, the Tameside outfit winning successive promotions as the Premier Division’s play-off winners a year after coming up as runaway First Division North champions. In the NPL’s three title races, Mickleover Sports were the clearest winners, taking the title by nine points from runners-up Leek Town who lost out in the play-offs, Sutton Coldfield Town earning the second promotion slot. Salford City dominated the headlines on and off the pitch in First Division North and not just nationally but internationally after their takeover by Manchester United’s Class of 92. They went on to beat runners-up Darlington 1883 to the title. The Quakers did win their play-offs, going up with the Ammies to take another step towards fulfilling their dream of succeeding the old Darlington in the Football League one day. In the top flight, Belper Town, Trafford, Witton Albion and Marine went down but thanks to the demise of Salisbury City, the Mariners celebrated a Football Association reprieve as the relegated club at Step 3 with the best record. New Mills were also saved from dropping out of First Division North in the FA’s annual reshuffle of clubs at Steps 1-4, Padiham returning on their own to Step 5.
