Macclesfield are still a bunch of cheats then.
For context, they were a goal and a man down at HT, so didn't do anything to their pitch in an attempt to get it postponed. Hereford's coaches and subs found where Macc had stored the equipment and did it themselves, then won 2-1 👏
Farcical scenes. An area of the pitch that Macclesfield were using a super sopper on before kick-off, but ignored during half-time, unsurprisingly became a concern for the referee when he reappeared.
Harry Pell ends up using the super sopper himself!
🔵 MAC 0-1 HER 🟡

Absolutely scandalous decision if this is a sacking as it appears!
Alex Revell is now the 15th longest-serving manager in the EFL.

So one of those away please 🤞

The guy's as bad as Man City.
Neil Warnock says that during his Burton Albion days, he hit a proper crisis just before kick-off: his star striker, Stewart Mell, was nowhere to be seen and the teamsheet was already in.
His fix? Send one of the lads into a toilet cubicle with his shorts down and orders to sound like he was on his way out. “Heave like you’ve never heaved in your life,” Warnock told him, “and no matter what anybody says, don’t open the door whatever you do.”
Off he went to the referee looking heartbroken, explaining that Mell had “come down with food poisoning” and was “puking in the toilet,” so probably couldn't start.
“I’m sure their lot won’t mind,” Warnock said, “because he’s my best player.”
A linesman was sent along to check. Warnock coughed on the way in, and from behind the door came: “Euggggggegh… euggggesssh…”
It was so convincing Warnock reckoned the kid sounded like he was genuinely dying. He looked at the linesman: “That’s how bad he is.”
The linesman walked off impressed, and the ref allowed a late reshuffle with Mell on the bench “if he recovered sufficiently.”
Five minutes before kick-off, mid team talk, in runs Stewart Mell. Still dressed in his fireman's uniform.
“Gaffer, I’m terribly sorry,” he said, “there were two accidents, I ran over a dog…”
Warnock's response: “Just get changed.”
Then it was back to the ref's door, this time playing the honest man.
“Listen, ref,” he said, “I’ve decided it’s just not fair. It’s not fair on Wootton. I put Stewart Mell on my teamsheet in the first place so I’d rather start him.”
The ref even thanked him for it. “It’s very good of you.”
And Warnock, straight-faced: “Think nothing of it.”
And we have now officially qualified for the next stage.
If we avoid defeat to Fulham U21 in a month, we will top the group and have a home tie in the next round.
Lolz.

- Terence Vancooten moves into fifth place for most EFL starts for the club, one ahead of Jamie Reid.
- Carl Piergianni & Dan Kemp have played in every match this season, in all competitions.
It's going to feel like the first game of the season again after that damn international break - I can't wait to be back in my seat at the back of the Norf Stand!
Just finished prepping all my bits and pieces that may happen tomorrow too, so am fully set to go. Up it!
A great interview with two great men and great players, who are definitely in club legend territory.
Some alright stats sprinkled in there too 😉 (most impressive Pidge knew his exact number of appearances and Luther either knew, or guessed ludicrously closely!).
Captains' Catch-up. 🗣️
We caught up with Captain Carl Piergianni & Vice-Captain Luther James-Wildin during the international break, talking all things Boro'! 🤩

We are forever slated by other clubs for having a small fanbase, but our club, with its small fanbase, is blessed to have so many people so dedicated to it, be it 'just' as fans, or who put other content out, and none moreso than the GOAT that is Boroguide. Check out the below 👇
