The Premier League entered the world of VAR at the beginning of this season, and it is not too unfair or “off message” to describe the reaction of fans and players as mixed.

FARSLEY CELTIC 0 Southport 3 The Citadel 13 August ACTION

Southport continued their unbeaten start to the season as three first-half goals secured victory against Farsley Celtic at the Citadel. On the back of a 3-0 victory over Guiseley at the weekend, Liam Watson’s side continued where they left off. Southport took the lead after only seven minutes of play, as David Morgan chipped the ball over the head of Elliot Wynne in the Farsley goal to open the scoring. After providing the assist for the first goal, Green added his own name to the scoresheet just before the half hour mark, as he steered the ball into net from a rebound after the keeper initially made a save from a shot from Morgan. There was no stopping Watson’s side in attack, as Correia grabbed his side’s third goal, a superb team effort, just before the break. A Brad Bauress cross into the box was nicely taken by the striker on the half volley, to round off a solid opening 45 minutes. Jack Sampson nearly got a Port fourth, as the keeper saved with his fingertips after the striker had cut inside.

Unable to fully establish himself, Cowan spent time on loan at various clubs before settling at Nuneaton Borough following his release from the club. He signed for AFC Telford United in 2008, where he made close to 100 appearances. Moving on to Fleetwood Town in 2010, he then spent time with Gainsborough Trinity, Nuneaton Town and Solihull Moors before moving into coaching. He returned to the New Buck’s Head in 2016, before taking on the management position following the resignation of Rob Edwards in May 2018.

Racism In Football By Southport Fan John Hardisty Sponsor Of Morgan Homson-Smith

The rise in reports of racist abuse in football can be linked to Brexit, Kick It Out chief Roisin Wood has claimed.

ON THE ROAD

It was a lovely midweek trip to Farsley for what on paper is our only evening midweek away game of the season. I’m sure the weather and cup involvement will soon ensure we have a few more in the season.

A journey that we would expect to complete in an hour and three quarters tops so not too bad. Making the most of a decent day we decided to set off early and take in Skipton and a visit to the castle which was not too bad as castles go. Expecting delays because of rush hour traffic we set off from Skipton in plenty of time but it was clear and we ended up in the club car park at 5.40. Radio 5 Live was covering the ongoing saga at Bury as we made the journey and it was a fascinating listen with the different parties involved putting across their views. Steve Dale, the man at the centre of the problems, gave, what sounded on paper, a very credible account of what had gone on. The fans and the Bury MP gave a very month award. It also put paid to my plans to have different version. What a mess it is and as I type I a full season goals compilation. have just heard that Bury’s fifth game of the The match was all over in the first half with season has been suspended.

DAVID FRODSHAM FROM THE ARCHIVES Our drawn game against Torquay United here on May 6th 1969 had sent supporters away for the summer in good spirits. The final sixteen games of the season had resulted in a mere two defeats and one of those had been at Vicarage Road against the Champions Watford by the narrow margin of 1-0.
