    6 game ban? What a world we live in.
    I agree. I can’t imagine anyone being that offended. I’m shit at parking.
    I doubt you’re as bad as me 
    I really am bad. Even at my own house I’ve scraped the van down our wall, reversed up and scraped it even more. I did that at our old house too. If the car park has a bollard I can guarantee I’ll have a good go at it. Had to have a new number plate done recently as I’d crunched the front on something. 
    I’d be delighted if someone helped me park.

    Another case of people being offended on behalf of others. Six game ban is laughable

    I thought you would be the expert at reversing up the back.

    So women post on here and consider it harsh, then up steps Trev who finds it all a bit offensive.
    What a wet wipe

    So suggesting sexism = bad makes you a wet wipe? Am I getting that right?

    I completely get why some might be upset at that joke. I think what was lost on the FA is that he says stuff like that because he's not supposed to say it, and therefore it's funny, not because he believes it or is misogynistic. 

    That said, we expected a bigger and wider-ranging ban, so when we got the call that it was the minimum, it's safe to say there were some celebrations round these parts.

    I think this was the best point he made in his defence - he asked the FA guy which women were offended, and as it transpired, the bloke hadn't asked a single woman how she felt. So this bloke was speaking on behalf of 50% of the population without making any effort to even gauge a sample audience's take on it. Whatever you think of the joke - and I am making it clear to him I want him to shut the fuck up on this stuff - to me that's worse, or certainly more arrogant, than MW's transgression.

    Hello everyone, I have just launched a publication on Substack called Groundhopper Weekly. It’s going to mainly be about Groundhopping with a few opinion pieces and maybe, if it gets big enough, some interviews with people from the world of football. If you think this may interest you, then please check it out and consider subscribing.

    Before you ask, yes I did get the idea from Richard Cawley.

    So if I posted something on here, taking the piss out of gay people, or Christian’s or black people but none of them people actually saw it to be offended, then that is ok?

    I didn’t say anything about the people in question not seeing it. That is not the point I made at all. I said it was ludicrous for a man to speak on behalf of all women. No women who have seen it have complained to the FA, no women who work with Marc have complained or raised a concern. 

    Likewise I think it’d be mad for me, as a middle aged white man, to explain how a minority might feel. If you did make such a joke and I thought it was out of order, and the target of the joke said it was funny, who am I to say otherwise?

    English football club resigns from league just weeks after ex-Premier League star becomes owner

    The Board of Directors of Morecambe Football Club wish to share the following update regarding today’s statements.

    Following further discussions with Jason Whittingham this afternoon and evening, it is apparent to the Board of Directors that he is, for some reason, stalling for time and attempting to drag out what is a truly horrible situation and decision for as long as possible.

    We must emphasise that this is without providing the Board with any substantive or convincing reasons for us to responsibly delay triggering the administration process.

    The Board of Directors have, this evening, informed Jason that administrators will be called, at the earliest opportunity, tomorrow morning.

    Jason still has the chance to do the right thing, agree to sell his shares tomorrow morning, but that opportunity expires once and for all after that.

    This whole thing is such a sad story. The EFL should have done more as soon as Goldring was disqualified as a director and the whole Worcester Warriors debacle happened with Whittingham. 

    The prospective buyers have put £6m roughly into the club already just to keep it going and now they've had the rug pulled from underneath them

    Dartford with some useful looking signings. See how it plays out on the pitch I guess.

    Latest from Morecambe

    Bond Group remains fully committed to completing a sale of the Club at the earliest possible opportunity. All actions being taken are an effort to protect the club while its sale is completed to avoid the need for administration.

    Work is continuing and we still have reasonable prospects on the sale completing.

    Working Capital, to pay staff and suppliers, remains on top of our agenda to ensure we maintain operations whilst we conclude a sale. We do ask Creditors to continue the incredible forbearance they have shown to date to the club.

    We are doing everything possible to resolve the situation and ask fans, sponsors and the community to continue show as much support as they can for the Club and staff during this incredibly difficult period.

    Any funds at the Club or coming into the club are for the Club and no one else.
     
    Work continues to complete the sale process and give Morecambe FC the fresh start the club and it’s community deserve.
     
    The National League have been consulted and updated on the sale process and, as they require more information and engagement with the Buyer, we would expect them to be in dialogue with them imminently regarding next season.

    Bond Group has not been a part of the Board since the end of 2022 and, due to us having to source external funding, we made it clear that any budget reliant on Bond Group would need to be minimal unless others funds were sourced. A significant amount of that funding was from Panjab and also this season's budgets were in line with confirmation of their continued support. 

    There are other buyers interested in the acquisition of the club however as it stands Panjab are the most advanced and so our focus remains on completion with them on the agreed deal. In an effort to achieve that we have organised a meeting for this evening and will update on that tomorrow.
     
    We are working to avoid Administration, get staff paid and continue into next season.

    Update from Morecambe

    The Board of Directors have unanimously agreed to rejoin Morecambe FC and facilitate the sale of Bond Group's shares to Panjab Warriors, which is intended to complete on Monday.

    All we can promise is that we will do everything in our powers to make it happen, get wages paid, and begin at last to look forwards.

    Welling played a behind closed doors friendly today against Rochester City. It was a tight clash that could have gone either way, but in the end Welling just about got the win, 14-0.

    It read that as Manchester City. 4-0 I would have believed.
