1
00:00:01,346 --> 00:00:04,418
[commentator 1] The change
from something, it'’s been
a highly charged atmosphere.
2
00:00:04,418 --> 00:00:08,077
[supporters chant]
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
3
00:00:09,906 --> 00:00:11,528
- [commentator 2] Oh.
- [commentator 1] Offside.
4
00:00:11,528 --> 00:00:13,875
I think James McClean
could be in trouble there.
5
00:00:13,875 --> 00:00:16,050
I think he could be
in real trouble.
6
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:19,571
Of course we encourage
all our boys to be nice,
well-behaved, polite fellows.
7
00:00:19,571 --> 00:00:22,332
[commentator 1]
I think it may end up being
a booking for both of them.
8
00:00:22,332 --> 00:00:24,576
But, you know, sometimes
you pick up a yellow card.
9
00:00:24,576 --> 00:00:27,924
- [whistle blows]
- [Ker] A yellow card is
a warning for a minor infraction
10
00:00:27,924 --> 00:00:31,341
like, um, a reckless tackle,
or-or time wasting,
11
00:00:31,341 --> 00:00:32,963
or unsportsmanlike behavior.
12
00:00:32,963 --> 00:00:34,551
[commentator 3]
It was a daft lunge, I thought.
13
00:00:34,551 --> 00:00:37,037
[commentator 4] Boyle is
gonna get booked for dissent,
14
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:38,900
complaining on
McClean'’s behalf.
15
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:41,938
[commentator 5]
I'’m not surprised to see
the yellow card there.
16
00:00:41,938 --> 00:00:44,251
[Ker] A red card is given
for more serious infractions
17
00:00:44,251 --> 00:00:47,047
like dangerous play
or foul and abusive language.
18
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,463
[commentator 6]
Oh, but O'’Connor and Cannon
get in each other'’s way,
19
00:00:49,463 --> 00:00:51,741
and then Cannon
takes Armstrong out.
20
00:00:51,741 --> 00:00:53,812
That'’s got to be a card.
21
00:00:53,812 --> 00:00:55,434
Yeah. It'’s a red.
22
00:00:55,434 --> 00:00:56,918
[Ker] If a player
is shown a red,
23
00:00:56,918 --> 00:00:58,265
they are immediately
dismissed from the game
24
00:00:58,265 --> 00:01:00,543
and banned for
at least the next game.
25
00:01:00,543 --> 00:01:02,579
[commentator 7] Again,
Cardiff back-- Playing
dangerously at the back.
26
00:01:02,579 --> 00:01:04,133
Hughes catches a player.
27
00:01:04,133 --> 00:01:05,720
If a player
receives a yellow card,
28
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,619
they merely receive
a nominal fine.
29
00:01:07,619 --> 00:01:09,897
But you have to be careful,
because if you get
two yellow cards,
30
00:01:09,897 --> 00:01:13,245
that becomes a red,
and you are then dismissed
and miss the next game.
31
00:01:13,245 --> 00:01:15,730
Last year,
our disciplinary record
was exemplary.
32
00:01:15,730 --> 00:01:19,286
We actually received
a Fair Play Award
in the National League.
33
00:01:19,286 --> 00:01:21,495
This season, not so much.
34
00:01:21,495 --> 00:01:23,945
[commentator 8]
Oh, yeah. It'’s a red.
35
00:01:23,945 --> 00:01:25,602
Barnett'’s sent off.
36
00:01:25,602 --> 00:01:27,639
[Ker] Even Phil has received
his fair share of yellow cards.
37
00:01:27,639 --> 00:01:30,124
What? It'’s an absolute joke.
It'’s too late.
38
00:01:30,124 --> 00:01:31,436
[referee] Appreciate that one.
39
00:01:31,436 --> 00:01:32,954
[referee]
You need to leave him alone.
40
00:01:32,954 --> 00:01:34,232
Can I just say something, ref?
41
00:01:34,232 --> 00:01:36,441
- You know--
- Yeah, you need to.
42
00:01:36,441 --> 00:01:39,306
But no one has done it
with quite as much panache
43
00:01:39,306 --> 00:01:41,618
as one of our new players:
Jimmy McClean.
44
00:01:41,618 --> 00:01:45,415
[commentator 9]
Oh-- Robs McClean,
who rugby tackles him.
45
00:01:45,415 --> 00:01:47,348
[Ker] James plays, uh,
with his whole heart.
46
00:01:47,348 --> 00:01:50,144
He'’s a fantastic player
and a wonderful person,
47
00:01:50,144 --> 00:01:53,354
but he is a trifle forthright,
shall we say.
48
00:01:53,354 --> 00:01:55,356
[commentator 10] A yellow card
for McClean. He'’s been booked.
49
00:01:55,356 --> 00:01:57,151
[commentator 11]
Getting a yellow card,
I suspect.
50
00:01:57,151 --> 00:01:58,877
[commentator 12]
I thought he played the ball.
51
00:01:58,877 --> 00:02:00,534
[commentator 13]
It'’s a yellow for both.
52
00:02:00,534 --> 00:02:02,122
[commentator 14]
O'’Connor's booked as well.
53
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:03,157
[commentator 15]
McClean ends up
54
00:02:03,157 --> 00:02:04,434
shoving his man to the ground.
55
00:02:04,434 --> 00:02:05,780
[Ker] There'’s one more
yellow card rule
56
00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:07,161
you should probably know about.
57
00:02:07,161 --> 00:02:09,198
[commentator 16]
Should he book him?
58
00:02:09,198 --> 00:02:10,958
He is gonna book him,
because he'’s continued
to argue,
59
00:02:10,958 --> 00:02:12,373
- and that'’s--
- That'’s stupid.
60
00:02:13,029 --> 00:02:14,375
[Ker] If a player accrues
61
00:02:14,375 --> 00:02:17,275
ten yellow cards
over the course of 32 fixtures,
62
00:02:17,275 --> 00:02:19,691
they then get an additional
two-game suspension,
63
00:02:19,691 --> 00:02:22,349
which is coming at
a pretty crucial time
in our season.
64
00:02:22,349 --> 00:02:24,385
[commentator 17] And that'’s
a suspension, isn'’t it?
65
00:02:24,385 --> 00:02:26,836
- Jimmy, you silly cunt.
- Stupid fucking idiot!
66
00:02:26,836 --> 00:02:28,286
[Ker] If you wanna secure
automatic promotion,
67
00:02:28,286 --> 00:02:30,495
you'’ve gotta hold on
to third place or above.
68
00:02:30,495 --> 00:02:33,739
And, uh, we'’ve got
a very important game coming up.
69
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,743
[commentator]
McClean will pick up
a two-game suspension.
70
00:02:37,743 --> 00:02:39,538
He'’ll miss the Tranmere derby.
71
00:02:39,538 --> 00:02:40,850

Wrexham versus Tranmere Rovers.

But not quite yet.
88
00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:47,917
First, we'’re going to explain
what a derby is.
89
00:03:47,917 --> 00:03:52,128
So the definition of a derby
is a long-standing rivalry
between two teams.
90
00:03:52,128 --> 00:03:53,440
And it is derby day.
91
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,270
It is Newcastle

It was a proper derby.

Newport fought like hell.

or a game like this
with Tranmere.
101
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:21,157
Now, this is, uh--
This is a real derby.
102
00:04:21,157 --> 00:04:24,505
Um, because they live near us,
we live near them.

00:08:08,695 --> 00:08:09,696
It is a thrill.
165
00:08:09,696 --> 00:08:11,525
I like to think that
I am a die-hard fan,
166
00:08:11,525 --> 00:08:13,147
because this club, it is--
167
00:08:13,147 --> 00:08:16,081
It does mean something to me.
A lot. Really, it does.
168
00:08:16,081 --> 00:08:20,016
We try to make the atmosphere
as tense as possible.
169
00:08:20,016 --> 00:08:23,330
We try to make the other team
fear what Wrexham is
170
00:08:23,330 --> 00:08:25,608
as a town and in that stadium.
171
00:08:28,024 --> 00:08:30,544
[commentator] Welcome to
an intriguing derby match.
172
00:08:30,544 --> 00:08:34,030
Wrexham going for the title
against Tranmere Rovers,
173
00:08:34,030 --> 00:08:36,446
who just did Wrexham
a favor on Tuesday,
174
00:08:36,446 --> 00:08:38,690
beating Mansfield Town,
the league leaders.
175
00:08:38,690 --> 00:08:41,141
But that shows
how dangerous they are.
176
00:08:42,038 --> 00:08:44,558
[chanting]
177
00:08:45,248 --> 00:08:46,560
[Ker] Although Tranmere
178
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,182
are not in the running
for top three,
179
00:08:48,182 --> 00:08:50,460
they would like nothing more
than to spoil that for us.
180
00:08:50,460 --> 00:08:54,637
Every three points
could be the difference
between promotion and playoffs.
181
00:08:56,328 --> 00:08:58,227
Go on, Wrexham!
182
00:09:00,332 --> 00:09:03,715
- [Parkinson] Fuckin'’ hell!
- [commentator] Good
defensive work on the cover.
183
00:09:03,715 --> 00:09:05,475
Long ball forwards.
Fletcher can'’t reach it.
184
00:09:05,475 --> 00:09:07,132
Ball intercepted
by Young as well.
185
00:09:07,132 --> 00:09:08,548
Wins it back. Finds Fletcher,
edge of the area.
186
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:10,239
Cute back heel to Mullin.
187
00:09:10,239 --> 00:09:11,896
Helps it on. Mendy in
plenty of space on the left.
188
00:09:11,896 --> 00:09:15,037
Cuts on his right foot.
Dinks to the far post.
189
00:09:15,037 --> 00:09:17,626
Will it be kept in?
Barnett keeps it alive,
and Young heads it.
190
00:09:17,626 --> 00:09:19,420
Good block. Six yards out.
191
00:09:19,420 --> 00:09:21,422
It was a good contact, that.
Good stuff.
192
00:09:21,422 --> 00:09:24,080
And Jennings goes
for what looks to be
a beautiful pass.
193
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,911
Cannon'’s got to be solid here.
And he isn'’t!
194
00:09:26,911 --> 00:09:28,153
Shot comes in!
195
00:09:30,259 --> 00:09:31,605
And Tranmere lead!
196
00:09:31,605 --> 00:09:34,608
- What the hell was that?
- What was that?
197
00:09:36,127 --> 00:09:40,269
Error by Cannon.
The bench are up, going crazy.
198
00:09:40,269 --> 00:09:43,444
So Wrexham fall behind early on
at the Racecourse.
199
00:09:43,444 --> 00:09:46,724
[chanting] Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
200
00:09:46,724 --> 00:09:48,311
[commentator]
Three-man wall now
for Wrexham.
201
00:09:48,311 --> 00:09:49,623
It'’s wide to the goal,
202
00:09:49,623 --> 00:09:51,625
but it'’s
a shooting position perhaps.
203
00:09:51,625 --> 00:09:53,593
It'’s crossed in instead,
and headed on towards goal.
204
00:09:54,766 --> 00:09:57,769
Off the line brilliantly
by Cannon.
205
00:09:57,769 --> 00:09:58,839
Wow!
206
00:09:58,839 --> 00:10:01,911
So, Young corner,
left-hand side.
207
00:10:01,911 --> 00:10:04,811
Blatant shove on Lee
by the keeper, who then--
208
00:10:04,811 --> 00:10:08,331
Lee pushes his man over.
Is it Yarney?
209
00:10:08,331 --> 00:10:11,507
Oh, there'’s
a bit of afters there.
Fletcher gets pushed away.
210
00:10:11,507 --> 00:10:12,784
It'’s a proper derby.
211
00:10:12,784 --> 00:10:14,683
It'’s a real scrap, isn't it?
212
00:10:16,685 --> 00:10:18,652
Finds Barnett on the goal line.
213
00:10:18,652 --> 00:10:20,481
Crosses to the far post.
214
00:10:20,481 --> 00:10:22,656
Fletcher'’s blocked off and
is complaining about a foul.
215
00:10:22,656 --> 00:10:25,141
[Parkin] How can you
not fucking see that?
216
00:10:25,141 --> 00:10:29,007
Fletcher'’s looking to head it
in the net. It'’s a fucking joke.
217
00:10:29,594 --> 00:10:31,561
Ref, you know on crosses,
218
00:10:31,561 --> 00:10:34,668
are you allowed
to just grab somebody
to stop them heading the ball?
219
00:10:34,668 --> 00:10:36,705
- I just need to know the rules.
- [referee] You know...
220
00:10:36,705 --> 00:10:38,672
[Parkinson] What?
Not even looking
at the fucking ball.
221
00:10:38,672 --> 00:10:40,398
[Parkin] For fuck'’s sake.
222
00:10:40,398 --> 00:10:42,020
- [referee] I'’m not shouting...
- No, I'’m calm.
223
00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:44,471
...so if you wanna have
a conversation,
we can have one...
224
00:10:44,471 --> 00:10:46,818
[Parkinson]
I thought you'’ve been fucking--
Played some unbelievable stuff.
225
00:10:46,818 --> 00:10:48,406
Keep doing what you'’re doing.
226
00:10:48,406 --> 00:10:51,754
All we need to do
is play with intensity
227
00:10:52,513 --> 00:10:54,239
but turn down the franticness
228
00:10:54,239 --> 00:10:55,551
a little bit.
229
00:10:56,172 --> 00:10:57,657
Maintain the speed in your play,
230
00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:59,693
but let'’s have
a little bit more composure.
231
00:10:59,693 --> 00:11:02,144
For the moment, we'’re just
a little bit too wired up.
232
00:11:02,144 --> 00:11:05,147
I understand it.
Ignore the ref.
Just keep playing.
233
00:11:05,147 --> 00:11:09,703
[commentator] The teams
are out for the second half.
234
00:11:09,703 --> 00:11:11,187
[chanting] Wrexham! Wrexham!
235
00:11:11,187 --> 00:11:13,258
Wrexham!
236
00:11:13,258 --> 00:11:14,501
[commentator]
Now three-on-three.
237
00:11:14,501 --> 00:11:15,709
Mullin running at the defense,
238
00:11:15,709 --> 00:11:17,262
the two strikers split.
239
00:11:17,262 --> 00:11:19,023
He finds Dalby on the left.
240
00:11:19,023 --> 00:11:20,852
Mullin nudges Walker out
the way and runs in the box.
241
00:11:20,852 --> 00:11:23,372
Dalby rips a cross
to the far post.
242
00:11:25,754 --> 00:11:29,861
And Wrexham continue
to knock at the door
without creating the chances.
243
00:11:29,861 --> 00:11:32,208
- Come on!
- [commentator]
Midfield, Bolton.
244
00:11:32,208 --> 00:11:36,350
Good positive first touch.
Good ball to Lee, in space,
25 yards out on his right foot.
245
00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:37,973
Takes a deflection!
246
00:11:41,114 --> 00:11:42,943
No! No, no, no, no!
247
00:11:45,049 --> 00:11:50,192
Wrexham will need
an absolute miracle as they'’ve
given it away oddly here.
248
00:11:50,192 --> 00:11:51,711
- Puts it out...
- [whistle blows]
249
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:53,057
...trying to knock it off
a defender.
250
00:11:53,057 --> 00:11:54,230
There'’s the final whistle
anyway.
251
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:56,854
Tranmere win at Wrexham.
252
00:11:56,854 --> 00:12:01,962
And, well, Wrexham fans--
Some of them booing.
253
00:12:04,275 --> 00:12:05,966
It'’s got to be said,
254
00:12:05,966 --> 00:12:08,900
we just didn'’t, uh,
have enough quality up front.
255
00:12:10,971 --> 00:12:13,249
[commentator 2]
It'’s kicking off
down there at the moment.
256
00:12:13,249 --> 00:12:17,081
[commentator 1]
Right. Real trouble
on the edge of the box.
257
00:12:17,081 --> 00:12:19,324
[Parkin]
Hey, fuck off! Fuck off!
258
00:12:19,324 --> 00:12:22,051
- [Parkin] Hey, fuck off!
Get him away!
- Fight.
259
00:12:22,051 --> 00:12:24,916
[commentator] Palmer seems
to be in the heart of that.
260
00:12:24,916 --> 00:12:26,780
[Parkinson] Hey. Hey!
Get him away. Get him away.
261
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:28,678
[Mullin] I think after the game,
262
00:12:28,678 --> 00:12:30,128
they decided to celebrate
like they'’d won the league,
263
00:12:30,128 --> 00:12:31,992
when I think they were in
about 17th in the league,
264
00:12:31,992 --> 00:12:33,683
which is quite mental.
265
00:12:33,683 --> 00:12:35,755
They had a little discussion,
and it was all done,
266
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:39,482
but it also shows what it means
to teams like that to be--
to beat us.
267
00:12:40,483 --> 00:12:41,830
[reporter]
There was a bit of a brawl
268
00:12:41,830 --> 00:12:43,797
on the pitch in the end
after the final whistle.
269
00:12:43,797 --> 00:12:45,903
Are you able to shed any light
on what happened?
270
00:12:45,903 --> 00:12:48,284
No, I'’d gone down the tunnel,
so I don'’t know.
271
00:12:48,284 --> 00:12:50,908
Obviously, with a local derby,
it'’s something you
don'’t wanna happen,
272
00:12:50,908 --> 00:12:52,772
but emotions were running high.
273
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:54,566
- Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
- Come on.
274
00:13:11,894 --> 00:13:14,310
[podcast host]
Okay. So we somehow lost
to Tranmere Rovers,
275
00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:16,312
but at least we'’re still
hanging on to third place
276
00:13:16,312 --> 00:13:18,832
because MK Dons
beat Crewe Alexandra.
277
00:13:18,832 --> 00:13:22,871
[Edwards] I'’ve been quite calm
recently about defeats
and stuff like that,
278
00:13:22,871 --> 00:13:25,149
but there was just something
about the one yesterday
279
00:13:25,149 --> 00:13:27,151
which just left
a bad taste in the mouth.
280
00:13:27,151 --> 00:13:28,877
[host] Tim, do you think
we missed McClean?
281
00:13:28,877 --> 00:13:31,707
Do you think we missed
that sort of drive?
282
00:13:31,707 --> 00:13:33,502
[Edwards] Yeah. Um...
283
00:13:33,502 --> 00:13:38,024
I just think
he brings an element
of cunningness and guile
284
00:13:38,024 --> 00:13:40,854
and shithousery
that maybe the others--
285
00:13:40,854 --> 00:13:45,031
not lack, but he'’s
just an expert at it.
He'’s just next-level.
286
00:13:50,381 --> 00:13:52,728
- Who are you?
- James McClean.
287
00:13:54,557 --> 00:13:56,525
James McClean is
an iconic figure.
288
00:13:56,525 --> 00:13:59,079
[commentator] Sweeps it
into the near post. Headed in!
289
00:13:59,079 --> 00:14:02,703
Wrexham take a deserved lead!
And it'’s James McClean.
290
00:14:02,703 --> 00:14:05,361
When his name
was first mentioned to me,
my eyebrows shot up.
291
00:14:05,361 --> 00:14:08,364
That a player like that would
be interested in coming to us--
292
00:14:08,364 --> 00:14:10,780
Had an unbelievable career
in the Premier League
293
00:14:10,780 --> 00:14:13,369
with Stoke
and Sunderland and Wigan.
294
00:14:13,369 --> 00:14:16,165
And he was Wigan'’s
Player of the Season
last season.
295
00:14:16,165 --> 00:14:18,098
[Parkinson] James McClean.
296
00:14:18,098 --> 00:14:20,204
He'’s stayed at
the top of his game
and he'’s been phenomenal for us.
297
00:14:26,451 --> 00:14:29,869
[supporters booing]
298
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:32,181
The first thing the club
needed to do was know
299
00:14:32,181 --> 00:14:35,391
what we were getting into
when we signed James.
300
00:14:35,391 --> 00:14:38,601
His signing
will be controversial
in some people'’s mind.
301
00:14:38,601 --> 00:14:43,917
[chanting]
Wanker. Wanker. Wanker.
302
00:14:43,917 --> 00:14:46,920
[reporter]
Footballer James McClean
has received death threats
303
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,130
for his decision not to wear
a poppy on his shirt.
304
00:14:50,130 --> 00:14:54,928
The automatic indicator
of a person'’s political view
305
00:14:54,928 --> 00:14:57,724
was whether they wore a poppy
or whether they didn'’t.
306
00:14:57,724 --> 00:14:59,381
And the poppy identified you
307
00:14:59,381 --> 00:15:02,971
as somebody who believed
in supporting the British Army.
308
00:15:02,971 --> 00:15:05,974
It is a way of
supporting veterans
309
00:15:05,974 --> 00:15:08,838
in many working-class
communities in England.
310
00:15:08,838 --> 00:15:11,876
There would be the memories
of soldiers who were killed.
311
00:15:12,670 --> 00:15:15,224
But it has
a completely different meaning
312
00:15:15,224 --> 00:15:16,329
in Northern Ireland.
313
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:47,118
[Gorman] In Derry,
wearing the poppy identified you
314
00:15:47,118 --> 00:15:50,052
as someone who supported
the actions of the British Army.
315
00:16:02,237 --> 00:16:05,447
[reporter] He refused
to acknowledge the English
national anthem before a game.
316
00:16:05,447 --> 00:16:08,968
If he doesn'’t like
what England stands for,
why go to play in England?
317
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:12,557
If he has principles,
stand by your principles
by all means.
318
00:16:28,090 --> 00:16:29,816
You'’ve moved to a few clubs.
319
00:16:29,816 --> 00:16:32,163
- You'’re still getting the abuse.
- [McClean] Yep.
320
00:16:32,163 --> 00:16:34,338
[Kielty] Where'’s your head
in all of that?
321
00:17:06,301 --> 00:17:07,923
[Erin McClean]
He'’s two different people.
322
00:17:07,923 --> 00:17:10,201
He'’s what the people
think of him
323
00:17:10,201 --> 00:17:12,376
and what he actually is.
324
00:17:12,376 --> 00:17:14,102
At home, he'’s so--
325
00:17:14,102 --> 00:17:15,896
Literally, doesn'’t go anywhere.
326
00:17:15,896 --> 00:17:18,037
He goes between here
and the gym out in the garage,
327
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:19,728
and back in here,
watches football.
328
00:17:19,728 --> 00:17:21,212
He'’s very boring, isn't he?
329
00:17:21,212 --> 00:17:22,386
- Daddy?
- Mmm.
330
00:17:22,386 --> 00:17:24,560
Mmm. Yeah. [laughs]
331
00:17:42,130 --> 00:17:44,339
[commentator] James Mc-- Yeah!
332
00:17:45,616 --> 00:17:46,789
McClean!
333
00:18:00,803 --> 00:18:05,291
[Clair] When you get
to that line, open up.
334
00:18:05,291 --> 00:18:08,501
We'’re just about to
go into phase two.
335
00:18:08,501 --> 00:18:10,951
We'’ve got a semifinal first
before that, though.
336
00:18:10,951 --> 00:18:13,678
So it'’s really important
that the girls are here.
337
00:18:13,678 --> 00:18:15,715
They'’re training hard.
They'’re working hard.
338
00:18:17,889 --> 00:18:21,790
The way Genero Adran
Premier League works
is there'’s eight teams.
339
00:18:21,790 --> 00:18:25,828
We'’ll all play each other,
home and away, for the
first half of the season.
340
00:18:25,828 --> 00:18:28,245
Then the league splits.
341
00:18:28,245 --> 00:18:31,627
Top four then obviously play
to try and win the league.
342
00:18:31,627 --> 00:18:36,011
Bottom four, obviously,
trying to stay up
and avoid relegation.
343
00:18:36,011 --> 00:18:40,843
We knew that we were gonna be in
for a tough battle this season.
344
00:18:40,843 --> 00:18:44,433
This particular league
is much more physical.
345
00:18:44,433 --> 00:18:48,679
The game is much quicker,
so we'’ve had to really
adapt to that.
346
00:18:48,679 --> 00:18:51,026
[commentator]
...to just get around the side.
That'’s brilliant work.
347
00:18:51,026 --> 00:18:54,512
We did need to recruit,
and we needed to make the team
a little bit stronger.
348
00:18:54,512 --> 00:18:56,721
[commentator]
...gives ball to Carra Jones.
Great chance, left foot!
349
00:18:56,721 --> 00:18:58,999
1-nil to Wrexham!
350
00:18:58,999 --> 00:19:02,382
[Owen] Carra Jones,
a very tricky winger that'’s
gonna contribute lots of goals
351
00:19:02,382 --> 00:19:04,971
alongside Rosie,
who'’s a real goal threat.
352
00:19:04,971 --> 00:19:06,386
[commentator]
Delivers to Suckley!
353
00:19:07,594 --> 00:19:09,907
Ah, yes. 3-nil. Wow.
354
00:19:10,563 --> 00:19:11,840
Ava Suckley.
355
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,462
She'’s 21 years old,
356
00:19:13,462 --> 00:19:15,878
plays at a very high level
at such a young age already.
357
00:19:15,878 --> 00:19:19,054
[commentator]
That'’s a great first touch
by Allen to open things up.
358
00:19:19,951 --> 00:19:21,401
[Owen] Keren Allen.
359
00:19:21,401 --> 00:19:23,507
She is very, very ferocious
out on the pitch.
360
00:19:23,507 --> 00:19:26,786
She is our new captain.
Very, very pleased
to have her with us.
361
00:19:28,236 --> 00:19:31,031
She'’s brought a whole
new dynamic to the squad.
362
00:19:31,618 --> 00:19:33,068
[Allen] I'’m very physical.
363
00:19:33,068 --> 00:19:35,035
Always like a good battle.
364
00:19:36,623 --> 00:19:38,901
Whatever you need me to do, um,
I'’ll do it.
365
00:19:38,901 --> 00:19:41,421
[commentator] Sight on goal.
One-on-one. Can she finish?
366
00:19:41,421 --> 00:19:43,216
Oh, yes, she can!
367
00:19:43,216 --> 00:19:45,425
[Allen]
Coming into the Welsh Prem,
everyone was like,
368
00:19:45,425 --> 00:19:47,910
"Oh, they'’ll probably
get relegated. They'’ll be
sitting near the bottom."
369
00:19:47,910 --> 00:19:50,361
[commentator 1]
Jones wins it back. Hughes,
that'’s a nice-- Great idea!
370
00:19:50,361 --> 00:19:53,502
- [commentator 2] What a goal.
- [Allen] But now I'’m thinking,
like, top four.
371
00:19:53,502 --> 00:19:55,055
I think we can do it.
372
00:19:55,055 --> 00:19:56,781
- Yes! Yes!
- Yeah!
373
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,577
- Yes!
- Yes!
374
00:19:59,577 --> 00:20:01,717
[Owen] This weekend,
it'’s a huge match
against Aberystwyth.
375
00:20:01,717 --> 00:20:05,238
Competing with them to get into
that top four position.
376
00:20:05,238 --> 00:20:08,828
So, yeah, it'’s key for us
to come out on top
against Aberystwyth.
377
00:20:10,933 --> 00:20:12,901
[commentator]
Welcome to the Rock,
378
00:20:12,901 --> 00:20:16,284
the women'’s team here at home
to Aberystwyth Town.
379
00:20:19,287 --> 00:20:21,875
If we do draw
or win this match,
380
00:20:21,875 --> 00:20:27,260
Wrexham will have guaranteed
their place in the top four
end-of-season playoff.
381
00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:29,400
[Dale]
We cannot start flat today.
382
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,265
Let'’s make sure that
when we get chances,
let'’s be ruthless.
383
00:20:32,265 --> 00:20:35,958
At first, I wouldn'’t have said
that there was pressure when we
first started in the league,
384
00:20:35,958 --> 00:20:38,306
because I don'’t think people
expected us to be where we are.
385
00:20:38,306 --> 00:20:39,928
I guess there'’s pressure now.
386
00:20:39,928 --> 00:20:41,447
Making the top four
387
00:20:41,447 --> 00:20:44,243
is vitally important
to our entire season.
388
00:20:45,589 --> 00:20:46,969
Come on, Wrexham!
389
00:20:46,969 --> 00:20:48,281
- [whistle blows]
- [commentator] And away we go.
390
00:20:48,281 --> 00:20:50,076
Immediately Scourfield stands it up.
391
00:20:50,076 --> 00:20:51,940
Carra Jones on the right.
Lightfoot on the left.
392
00:20:51,940 --> 00:20:53,321
That'’s a good flick on.
393
00:20:53,321 --> 00:20:55,150
Sharp won'’t get there. Ooh!
394
00:20:55,150 --> 00:20:57,152
That was a chance.
A big chance.
395
00:20:57,152 --> 00:20:59,327
[Dale] We knew that
it would be a physical game.
396
00:20:59,327 --> 00:21:02,261
[commentator]
Ah, typical tackle by Davies.
That'’s brilliant.
397
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:04,987
Probably not going to be
the most prettiest games
to watch.
398
00:21:04,987 --> 00:21:08,301
- Come on, come on!
- Rosie Hughes
will chase after this.
399
00:21:08,301 --> 00:21:10,303
Shove in the back by Hughes.
400
00:21:10,303 --> 00:21:13,651
Allen loves to drive forwards
in these positions and does so,
401
00:21:13,651 --> 00:21:15,135
and goes past Duggan easily.
402
00:21:15,135 --> 00:21:17,414
Nicely played.
Now, space here.
403
00:21:17,414 --> 00:21:18,484
Jones...
404
00:21:23,247 --> 00:21:24,938
Oh, it hit the post.
405
00:21:24,938 --> 00:21:26,354
Hughes unmarked
on the edge of the area
406
00:21:26,354 --> 00:21:28,287
if Lightfoot can pull it back,
and she can.
407
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:29,667
Hughes, right-footed.
408
00:21:29,667 --> 00:21:30,979
Another chance!
409
00:21:32,221 --> 00:21:33,499
Oh! Puts it wide!
410
00:21:33,499 --> 00:21:35,984
Wrexham have had
more of the game,
411
00:21:35,984 --> 00:21:38,331
but there'’s no question
Aberystwyth have asked
a lot of questions.
412
00:21:38,331 --> 00:21:40,816
[Dale] Yeah. Listen,
I don'’t think we're playing bad.
413
00:21:40,816 --> 00:21:42,335
We'’ve created some good chances.
414
00:21:42,335 --> 00:21:44,441
We'’ve just gotta be a little bit
more ruthless now.
415
00:21:44,441 --> 00:21:47,098
A little bit more creative
in the final third.
416
00:21:49,169 --> 00:21:52,345
[commentator] Here we go.
Wrexham kicking off
the second half.
417
00:21:52,345 --> 00:21:54,209
Rosie Hughes on the ball.
418
00:21:55,244 --> 00:21:57,350
[Dale] Come on, then! Next one!
419
00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:59,559
[commentator]
Isaac delivers a great ball in!
420
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:01,527
Big save, that!
421
00:22:01,527 --> 00:22:04,392
Don'’t matter,
doesn'’t come forward!
Come on. Press, press.
422
00:22:04,392 --> 00:22:07,360
[Dale]
Aberystwyth will eventually
wear you down and break you down
423
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,500
because of the way
that they play.
424
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:12,123
[commentator]
Pritchard fighting away
with Moralee-Hughes.
425
00:22:13,055 --> 00:22:14,263
- Are you fucking joking?
- Ref, how?
426
00:22:14,263 --> 00:22:15,817
- How?
- Hey!
427
00:22:15,817 --> 00:22:17,197
[commentator]
Is that a foul? Ref says not.
428
00:22:17,197 --> 00:22:18,647
He'’s gonna cause an injury, him.
429
00:22:18,647 --> 00:22:20,994
The Aberystwyth game
was really intense.
430
00:22:20,994 --> 00:22:23,825
[commentator]
Scourfield-- there we are--
wins the ball back.
431
00:22:23,825 --> 00:22:25,067
Had her shirt pulled too.
432
00:22:25,067 --> 00:22:26,759
Quite a scrappy
game of football.
433
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:29,486
I feel like it was a bit of
a game of ping-pong at times,
434
00:22:29,486 --> 00:22:30,556
going end to end.
435
00:22:30,556 --> 00:22:32,281
Be aggressive,
be aggressive. Good.
436
00:22:32,281 --> 00:22:33,869
[commentator]
Pritchard'’s in support.
437
00:22:33,869 --> 00:22:36,838
Suckley does well
to hold off Scourfield.
438
00:22:36,838 --> 00:22:38,391
Looking for Pritchard!
439
00:22:38,391 --> 00:22:40,220
Couldn'’t quite get there.
Unlucky.
440
00:22:40,220 --> 00:22:43,569
Set it-- Lil, Lil, Lil. Lil.
441
00:22:44,328 --> 00:22:46,399
Lili Jones will deliver.
442
00:22:47,607 --> 00:22:50,092
It'’s a decent shot
towards goal.
443
00:22:52,819 --> 00:22:53,889
It'’s in!
444
00:22:53,889 --> 00:22:55,719
[cheering]
445
00:22:55,719 --> 00:22:57,065
Carra Jones scores!
446
00:22:57,065 --> 00:22:59,308
Wrexham strike
from a set piece.
447
00:23:00,586 --> 00:23:04,106
And Wrexham take the lead.
Carra Jones.
448
00:23:07,316 --> 00:23:09,767
Wrexham,
with two games to spare,
449
00:23:09,767 --> 00:23:14,289
have got through
to the second phase
of the season in the top half.
450
00:23:16,325 --> 00:23:18,638
[Dale] Their character
was tested that day.
451
00:23:18,638 --> 00:23:20,985
To be fair to the girls,
they stood up to it.
452
00:23:20,985 --> 00:23:23,436
[commentator]
A big win for Wrexham.
An historic win for Wrexham.
453
00:23:23,436 --> 00:23:27,095
[Owen] It'’s hugely significant.
It'’s making a statement
to the league.
454
00:23:27,095 --> 00:23:30,339
It'’s making a statement
to the supporters
and to other clubs
455
00:23:30,339 --> 00:23:32,341
that we'’re not here
to mess around.
456
00:23:33,273 --> 00:23:35,448
Initially, the expectation
was top four.
457
00:23:35,448 --> 00:23:37,416
But now I'’m thinking,
like, top two.
458
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:39,452
Like, I do--
I wanna get top two.
459
00:23:39,452 --> 00:23:41,834
[Dale] Winning today
is a massive step. Yeah.
460
00:23:41,834 --> 00:23:43,974
We'’re minimum third now, okay?
461
00:23:43,974 --> 00:23:46,977
Really important now
that we don'’t take
our foot off the gas.
462
00:23:46,977 --> 00:23:48,599
But what a fucking start
we'’ve made.
463
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:50,774
- Fantastic. Well done, everyone.
- Well done, girls.
464
00:23:50,774 --> 00:23:52,292
Well done, all of ya.
465
00:24:05,996 --> 00:24:08,550
Fantastic. Lovely. Thank you.
466
00:24:08,964 --> 00:24:10,172
Thank you.
467
00:24:11,173 --> 00:24:12,865
What'’s our team, Dad?
468
00:24:12,865 --> 00:24:16,765
We'’ve got James McClean back
from suspension,
469
00:24:16,765 --> 00:24:20,148
which is handy '’cause,
uh, Jacob Mendy got
a slight injury last week.
470
00:24:20,148 --> 00:24:23,462
And the rest is the same,
and we'’ve just gotta
pick the bench
471
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:27,776
because George Evans is back
from a long injury,
which is great for us.
472
00:24:27,776 --> 00:24:29,606
He can cover
a lot of positions, can'’t he?
473
00:24:29,606 --> 00:24:32,160
Yeah, he can play at the back,
he can play across the midfield,
474
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,025
so he'’s a great player
to have him back in the squad.
475
00:24:35,025 --> 00:24:38,028
It'’s always a big game,
but it'’s lovely that
we'’ve got everyone together.
476
00:24:38,028 --> 00:24:40,720
It'’s not very often
we'’re all here, to be honest.
477
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,827
Is it? [chuckles]
I can'’t remember last time.
Was it Christmas?
478
00:24:43,827 --> 00:24:45,725
Yeah. A while ago.
479
00:24:45,725 --> 00:24:47,486
- Yeah.
- [Abby] Yeah,
I saw you at Christmas.
480
00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:49,557
- Yeah.
- Did you watch
the Tranmere game?
481
00:24:49,557 --> 00:24:52,732
- [Abby] I was flying,
but I watched the first half.
- You were flying? Yeah.
482
00:24:52,732 --> 00:24:54,527
- I was there. I was there.
- You were there.
483
00:24:54,527 --> 00:24:56,702
- Loyal supporter, always there.
- I was there.
484
00:24:57,392 --> 00:24:59,187
Mansfield are kind of
485
00:24:59,187 --> 00:25:00,740
an attack-minded team,
486
00:25:00,740 --> 00:25:03,053
but they'’ll leave space
for us as well.
487
00:25:03,053 --> 00:25:06,401
Where other teams
we'’ve played recently have gone,
right, just sit off the ball,
488
00:25:06,401 --> 00:25:08,645
let us have the ball,
and try and soak up pressure.
489
00:25:08,645 --> 00:25:10,854
- These won'’t do that.
- [George]
But the problem we'’ve had
490
00:25:10,854 --> 00:25:13,270
against teams that sit back,
they'’ve had against Colchester.
491
00:25:13,270 --> 00:25:15,514
So they'’ll be saying
exactly the same thing,
492
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:17,343
'’cause they've scored
the most goals.
493
00:25:17,343 --> 00:25:18,827
- [Parkinson]
Yeah, that'’s it.
- So--
494
00:25:18,827 --> 00:25:20,760
It'’ll be two teams
going full out to win,
495
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,419
um, which is
what it'’s all about, so...
496
00:25:25,420 --> 00:25:27,249
Looking forward to
a good day today, aren'’t we?
497
00:25:27,249 --> 00:25:29,079
- We are.
- Yeah.
498
00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:32,289
The result
determines the weekend,
as everyone knows well.
499
00:25:34,878 --> 00:25:37,018
- Go, Red!
- Whoo!
500
00:25:37,018 --> 00:25:38,433
- Go Wrexham!
- Yeah, baby!
501
00:25:38,433 --> 00:25:40,228
So at this point of the season,
it appears
502
00:25:40,228 --> 00:25:44,612
that there are four teams vying
for the three promotion spots.
503
00:25:44,612 --> 00:25:48,236
Barring a late surge
by any other spoilers.
504
00:25:48,236 --> 00:25:51,204
Mansfield, who are currently
in first place.
505
00:25:51,204 --> 00:25:52,447
MK Dons,
506
00:25:53,275 --> 00:25:54,794
who, as you remember, were
507
00:25:54,794 --> 00:25:57,107
a real pain in the bottom
in the first game of the season.
508
00:25:57,970 --> 00:26:00,075
Stockport continue to impress.
509
00:26:00,075 --> 00:26:03,458
[commentator]
Oh, what a goal that is!
Callum Camps!
510
00:26:03,458 --> 00:26:06,461
Twelve in a row
for Stockport County.
511
00:26:06,461 --> 00:26:09,084
[Ker] In fact,
earlier this season, they tied
for the longest winning streak
512
00:26:09,084 --> 00:26:12,260
in League Two history,
winning 12 games in a row.
513
00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:15,746
Thinking about and talking about
Stockport being the last game
of the season,
514
00:26:15,746 --> 00:26:22,615
I can feel two sties
making their way up
and into my eyelids.
515
00:26:22,615 --> 00:26:23,478
Yeah.
516
00:26:23,478 --> 00:26:25,411
I think I can skip the sty
517
00:26:25,411 --> 00:26:28,241
and just go right for
good old-fashioned
1950s sort of stress.
518
00:26:28,241 --> 00:26:31,624
- Just straight
to the chest. Yeah.
- Not a bad way to go.
519
00:26:31,624 --> 00:26:34,075
[Ker] Today, it'’s Mansfield
who come to the Racecourse
520
00:26:34,075 --> 00:26:36,284
desperate to take home
three points for themselves.
521
00:26:36,284 --> 00:26:38,148
If we lose this game,
there'’s a real danger
522
00:26:38,148 --> 00:26:41,461
we'’ll fall into fourth place
behind MK Dons.

Mansfield are the toughest side
I'’ve seen us play this season.
527
00:26:53,266 --> 00:26:55,303
I think the Friday game
528
00:26:55,303 --> 00:26:59,790
is almost this season'’s
Notts County blockbuster
from last year.
529
00:26:59,790 --> 00:27:02,310
I think it'’s got
that feel about it.
530
00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:06,314
So, it'’s Mansfield
versus Wrexham.
It'’s at Wrexham.
531
00:27:06,314 --> 00:27:07,695
It'’s a big game for both clubs.
532
00:27:07,695 --> 00:27:09,697
We need to keep winning
to stay top.
533
00:27:09,697 --> 00:27:12,354
Wrexham need to win to stay
in top three, like we do.
534
00:27:12,354 --> 00:27:17,497
So it'’s both sides,
and it'’s gonna be last man
standing out there today.
535
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:21,709
- Come on!

are going up? No.
- No.
538
00:27:26,506 --> 00:27:28,888
[commentator 1] Who else
is excited for this one?
539
00:27:28,888 --> 00:27:30,649
Time to shine, Red Army.
540
00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:32,409
- Cae Ras will be deafening.
- [commentator 2] Yeah.
541

It doesn'’t get much bigger
than this, does it now?
542
00:27:34,687 --> 00:27:38,518

James McClean is back

00:27:41,418 --> 00:27:43,558
after a two-game suspension.
546
00:27:43,558 --> 00:27:46,803
It'’s good to have
his experience
and physicality on the pitch
547
00:27:46,803 --> 00:27:49,944
for this high-stakes,
top-of-the-table battle.
548
00:27:51,290 --> 00:27:52,705
Fasten your seat belts.
549
00:27:52,705 --> 00:27:54,707
This is going
to be interesting.
550
00:27:56,226 --> 00:27:57,261
So here we go.
551
00:27:57,261 --> 00:27:58,780
Come on, Wrexham!
552
00:28:00,748 --> 00:28:03,889
Feeds it wide to Bowery.
There'’s a chance
to take on Bolton.
553
00:28:03,889 --> 00:28:07,444
Instead he works it wide.
Back to Bowery.
554
00:28:07,444 --> 00:28:10,585
He'’s got options in the middle
if he wants to use them.
555
00:28:10,585 --> 00:28:13,622
Instead, Keillor-Dunn loves
to just string things together,
556
00:28:13,622 --> 00:28:17,523
but he'’s forced
to play it back to his own half
by the energy of Cannon.
557
00:28:17,523 --> 00:28:20,077
And McClean
with a hard tackle on Hewitt.
558
00:28:20,077 --> 00:28:22,183
Now, then,
what does the ref do there?
559
00:28:22,183 --> 00:28:27,188
Both stay down, but Hewitt
really took a heavy whack there
from McClean.
560
00:28:27,188 --> 00:28:29,224
And what'’s the referee's view
of this gonna be?
561
00:28:29,224 --> 00:28:31,226
Flint is right in his face.
562
00:28:31,226 --> 00:28:33,608
- What was your view
of it, guys?
- I don'’t know.
563
00:28:33,608 --> 00:28:36,024
I thought he was going
for the ball fairly.
564
00:28:36,024 --> 00:28:38,371
And it is a yellow.
565
00:28:38,371 --> 00:28:43,618
[Ker] And with that,
the yellow card tally starts
once again for Mr. McClean.
566
00:28:43,618 --> 00:28:45,413
Are you booking him as well?
567
00:28:45,413 --> 00:28:47,415
[commentator 2] But McClean'’s
gotta be careful now.
568
00:28:47,415 --> 00:28:49,866
He'’s got to play a full game
with a yellow card.
569
00:28:49,866 --> 00:28:51,971
[commentator 1]
And Lee continues his good run.
570
00:28:51,971 --> 00:28:54,974
Taking on Flint and Bowery,
and he'’s pushed in the back.
571
00:28:54,974 --> 00:28:57,770
Flint'’s in the box.
Flint is barged by Mullin.
572
00:28:57,770 --> 00:28:59,668
Ref gives a foul against him.
573
00:28:59,668 --> 00:29:02,464
Fuckin'’ hell.
This is a free-for-all here.
574
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,570
Akins has a poor touch.
575
00:29:04,570 --> 00:29:06,261
And he'’s taken Bolton out late.
576
00:29:06,261 --> 00:29:08,505
What about that?
What about that?
577
00:29:08,505 --> 00:29:11,094
- [whistle blows]
- And the referee blows--
578
00:29:11,094 --> 00:29:13,613
Flint punches the ball
out of Palmer'’s hands.
579
00:29:13,613 --> 00:29:17,928
And Mansfield are taking
the game to us and putting
plenty of pressure on.
580
00:29:17,928 --> 00:29:20,137
- He'’s fouled
on a shooting possession.
- [whistle blows]
581
00:29:20,137 --> 00:29:22,139
- [commentator 2]
Has to be a yellow card.
- It will be yellow.
582
00:29:22,139 --> 00:29:23,451
That'’s silly from Clarke.
583
00:29:23,451 --> 00:29:26,661
Hey! Fucking hallelujah.
584
00:29:26,661 --> 00:29:28,836
- [commentator 1]
It'’s a bit feisty, innit?
- [commentator 2] Yeah, it is.
585
00:29:28,836 --> 00:29:31,321
It'’s exactly what you want
at a big game like this.
586
00:29:31,321 --> 00:29:33,633
[commentator 1] Cannon--
But nobody is ahead of him,
so he pokes it wide.
587
00:29:33,633 --> 00:29:35,428
Look at the pace of Bolton.
588
00:29:35,428 --> 00:29:38,328
Bowery blocks him off,
but that'’s poor play by him.
589
00:29:39,122 --> 00:29:40,295
Bolton shrugs him off,
590
00:29:40,295 --> 00:29:42,297
and now he can play a cross in.
591
00:29:42,297 --> 00:29:45,300
At the far post,
Lee'’s unmarked!
It jumps behind him!
592
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:46,785
Overhead kick...
593
00:29:49,373 --> 00:29:51,134
It'’s on target but lacks power.
594
00:29:51,134 --> 00:29:53,205
Come on, team!
Let'’s go! Come on!
595
00:29:53,205 --> 00:29:56,656
Now, here'’s Max Cleworth
coming forwards,
596
00:29:56,656 --> 00:29:59,349
sliding it beautifully
around the back of the defense.
597
00:29:59,349 --> 00:30:01,661
Cannon has four players
attacking the box.
598
00:30:01,661 --> 00:30:02,870
He finds Mullin...
599
00:30:05,389 --> 00:30:07,806
Yes! Yes!
600
00:30:09,186 --> 00:30:10,325
Yeah! Get in there!
601
00:30:10,325 --> 00:30:12,672
Paul Mullin strikes!
602
00:30:12,672 --> 00:30:14,847
Brilliant play from Wrexham!
603
00:30:14,847 --> 00:30:17,850
A glorious
defense-splitting pass.
604
00:30:17,850 --> 00:30:20,370
Cannon with
an outstanding pull back.
605
00:30:20,370 --> 00:30:24,823
Defender missed it
at the near post,
and Mullin slots it home.
606
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:26,755
Ninety-eight and counting.
607
00:30:26,755 --> 00:30:29,034
As we restart
for the second half
of this blockbuster,
608
00:30:29,034 --> 00:30:32,347
Wrexham leading at the break,
he'’s gonna put pressure on.
609
00:30:32,347 --> 00:30:34,660
Akins, who'’s dropped
into the back it looks like.
610
00:30:34,660 --> 00:30:38,871
Brilliant work by Mullin
who tackles, and Wrexham
come forwards again.
611
00:30:38,871 --> 00:30:42,357
Ball ricochets loose.
Brilliant touch by Lee.
Cannon running at his man.
612
00:30:42,357 --> 00:30:45,395
McLaughlin slips,
and Cannon manages
to force it on to Bolton.
613
00:30:45,395 --> 00:30:48,191
And he'’s taken out!
Is that a penalty?
614
00:30:48,191 --> 00:30:49,399
Referee blows his whistle.
615
00:30:49,399 --> 00:30:51,539
- And points!
- [cheering]
616
00:30:51,539 --> 00:30:53,713
Flint took out Bolton.
617
00:30:53,713 --> 00:30:55,508
[commentator 2] That was
very clumsy, wasn'’t it?
618
00:30:55,508 --> 00:30:57,856
[commentator 1] Nonetheless,
Wrexham have got a penalty,
619
00:30:57,856 --> 00:30:59,547
and Mullin will take it.
620
00:31:01,238 --> 00:31:05,208
Mullin makes his way back
to the edge of the area.
621
00:31:05,208 --> 00:31:06,795
Pym on his toes.
622
00:31:08,763 --> 00:31:11,973
Mullin waits for quiet.
623
00:31:16,322 --> 00:31:17,910
Steps up...
624
00:31:17,910 --> 00:31:19,636
scores!
625
00:31:21,741 --> 00:31:24,917
Ninety-nine Red goals
for Mullin!
626
00:31:24,917 --> 00:31:27,195
Drilled it
into the roof of the net!
627
00:31:27,195 --> 00:31:28,438
Pym!
628
00:31:30,958 --> 00:31:35,479
Mullin'’s completely shaken off
that rough spell
he was going through.
629
00:31:41,106 --> 00:31:42,797
[chanting] Wrexham!
630
00:31:42,797 --> 00:31:45,110
And that is how you turn up
for a big game.
631
00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:48,216
[Ker] That was
a massive victory for Wrexham,
632
00:31:48,216 --> 00:31:49,977
but we'’ve still got
six games to go.
633
00:31:49,977 --> 00:31:51,771
Yeah, Mullin!
634
00:31:51,771 --> 00:31:53,428
- Come on!
- Up the town!
635
00:31:53,428 --> 00:31:55,465
Come on, the town!
636
00:31:55,465 --> 00:31:56,949
It'’s a hard-earned victory.
637
00:31:56,949 --> 00:31:59,296
We didn'’t get too down
when we lost to Tranmere.
638
00:31:59,296 --> 00:32:02,403
- Wankers.

get too high after today.

640
00:32:03,783 --> 00:32:05,785
And now it'’s about preparation

642
00:32:08,305 --> 00:32:11,067
Right. That today is

top-three deciding game.

and take the spirit.
645
00:32:17,625 --> 00:32:19,938
And, you know, the Wrexham Army
will be right behind us.
646
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:21,836

- Look at all this. There'’s
working going on in here.
- You know what?
649
00:32:42,201 --> 00:32:44,445
- Gotta pay the bills.
- Shall we have a seat?
650
00:32:44,445 --> 00:32:46,309
- Let'’s do it.
Let'’s do it.
- Sit down?
651
00:32:46,309 --> 00:32:51,314
So, tell me about why you'’re
interested in Wrexham AFC.
652
00:32:51,314 --> 00:32:54,041
You know, we'’ve been
really focused at Ally
653
00:32:54,041 --> 00:32:57,492
on, um, trying to create equity
654
00:32:57,492 --> 00:33:00,150
between the men'’s
and women'’s sports landscape.
655
00:33:00,150 --> 00:33:02,670
[McElhenney] We have been
so impressed by the way
656
00:33:02,670 --> 00:33:05,121
that the women'’s team
have performed in
the Adran Premier this season.
657
00:33:05,121 --> 00:33:07,537
And, apparently,
we'’re not the only ones.
658
00:33:07,537 --> 00:33:10,850
The kind folks at Ally Bank
have generously offered
to partner with us
659
00:33:10,850 --> 00:33:13,060
to give our women'’s team
a little boost.
660
00:33:13,060 --> 00:33:15,855
Well, I mean,
you look at what'’s happening
in women'’s sports right now.
661
00:33:15,855 --> 00:33:17,202
It'’s been incredible.
662
00:33:17,202 --> 00:33:20,377
This is the ratings monster.
Right here.
663
00:33:20,377 --> 00:33:22,759
[American analyst 1]
At least two of the games
were the most watched
664
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:25,003
women'’s basketball games ever.
665
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:28,144
More viewers even
than last year'’s
World Series or NBA finals.
666
00:33:28,144 --> 00:33:30,663
[American analyst 2]
It'’s a record setter
for women'’s sports.
667
00:33:30,663 --> 00:33:34,046
Ninety-two thousand-and-three
people there to see volleyball.
668
00:33:34,046 --> 00:33:36,669
[Vicky Gomersall] What does
that record crowd tell us
about the trajectory,
669
00:33:36,669 --> 00:33:38,361
do you think,
of the women'’s game
at the moment?
670
00:33:38,361 --> 00:33:41,709
Only going one way,
and that is up.
671
00:33:45,471 --> 00:33:47,542
A big surprise that we
might have for the women'’s team?
672
00:33:47,542 --> 00:33:49,786
Well, I can'’t tell you
because it'’s a surprise.
673
00:33:51,270 --> 00:33:52,340
[Dale] Good.
674
00:33:52,340 --> 00:33:53,997
[Owen] Now you can break.
675
00:33:54,653 --> 00:33:56,241
Sorry.
676
00:33:56,241 --> 00:33:58,208
[Owen] We'’ve got something
to tell the girls today.
677
00:33:58,208 --> 00:34:01,073
You know, it'’s something
very exciting for us.
678
00:34:01,073 --> 00:34:03,558
There you go. Not too far.
You'’re-- You're good there.
679
00:34:03,558 --> 00:34:05,319
Good. Good, good, good.
680
00:34:06,665 --> 00:34:07,735
Right. Okay.
681
00:34:07,735 --> 00:34:09,357
Um, the reason why
682
00:34:09,357 --> 00:34:11,566
we'’ve brought you here
after training
683
00:34:11,566 --> 00:34:16,744
is because we'’ve got
a massive, really exciting thing
to let you know.
684
00:34:16,744 --> 00:34:20,092
We are going to America
in the summer.
685
00:34:20,092 --> 00:34:22,405
- [whooping]
- [Owen] So...
686
00:34:22,405 --> 00:34:24,648
[laughter]
687
00:34:24,648 --> 00:34:27,306
- Oh, my gosh.
- You excited?
688
00:34:28,652 --> 00:34:31,103
Next question. Would you say
that your reckless spending
689
00:34:31,103 --> 00:34:33,726
has led us to the point of
needing an ally like Ally?
690
00:34:33,726 --> 00:34:37,765
- My reckless spending?
- Yes, Mr.
Let'’s-Send-Everyone-To-Vegas.
691
00:34:37,765 --> 00:34:42,735
No, I think it means
that with Ally'’s help,
we'’re able to make history
692
00:34:42,735 --> 00:34:46,118
by bringing
the Wrexham women'’s team
to the US this summer,
693
00:34:46,118 --> 00:34:49,949
which is both exciting
and economically responsible.
694
00:34:50,502 --> 00:34:51,744
Mr. Let'’s-Do-A-Show.
695
00:34:51,744 --> 00:34:53,263
"It won'’t cost you a thing.
696
00:34:53,263 --> 00:34:54,851
- Not a dime."
- Okay. Thank you to Ally.
697
00:34:54,851 --> 00:34:56,646
Thank you to Ally.
No further questions.
698
00:34:56,646 --> 00:35:00,132
[Reynolds]
Mr. No-Further-Questions
has no further questions.
699
00:35:00,132 --> 00:35:02,479
Yeah. How exciting? Right?
700
00:35:02,479 --> 00:35:04,274
United Airlines?
701
00:35:04,274 --> 00:35:05,344
Can you imagine?
702
00:35:05,344 --> 00:35:06,932
[laughing]
703
00:35:06,932 --> 00:35:08,485
Are we flying first class?
704
00:35:08,485 --> 00:35:11,454
[Owen] We'’ve never played
outside of Wales before.
705
00:35:11,454 --> 00:35:14,491
So yeah, it'’s a really, really,
really big thing for us.
706
00:35:14,491 --> 00:35:17,287
[Jones] It was mad.
I don'’t think anyone
really knew what to say.
707
00:35:17,287 --> 00:35:20,118
Going out to America to play
in a Wrexham shirt
708
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:22,327
is what dreams
are made of, really.
709
00:35:22,327 --> 00:35:25,019
- Get your flip-flops ready,
girls. We'’re going.
- [laughing]
710
00:35:25,019 --> 00:35:28,885
We are treating this,
and it is-- It is
our part of our preseason.
711
00:35:28,885 --> 00:35:32,544
So there'’ll be games out there
that will give us a real test.
712
00:35:32,544 --> 00:35:35,995
Playing against US teams,
I think it'’s going to be tough,
713
00:35:35,995 --> 00:35:38,791
but, you know,
you'’re not gonna get any better
714
00:35:38,791 --> 00:35:40,207
unless you play against
the good teams.
715
00:35:40,207 --> 00:35:42,174
So, yeah,
I'’m looking forward to it.
716
00:35:42,174 --> 00:35:43,969
You'’ve massively earned this.
717
00:35:43,969 --> 00:35:45,660
We'’ve still got
a long way to go, obviously,
718
00:35:45,660 --> 00:35:48,318
but let'’s go and make sure
that we go out to the States
719
00:35:48,318 --> 00:35:51,839
on the back of
our best ever finish
that we can possibly imagine.
720
00:35:51,839 --> 00:35:54,152
Hopefully,
that'’ll be top. Why not?
721
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:56,050
Really important
that we focus now.
722
00:35:56,050 --> 00:35:58,811
Stay driven, stay hungry
to the end of the season.
723
00:35:58,811 --> 00:36:01,228
And achieve what
we want to achieve,
724
00:36:01,228 --> 00:36:03,506
and then we'’ll enjoy it
when it comes round.
725
00:36:03,506 --> 00:36:04,852
[murmuring, laughing]
726
00:36:04,852 --> 00:36:06,094
Let'’s go.
727
00:36:09,236 --> 00:36:11,893
[podcast host]
So, it'’s been a bit up and down
for Wrexham of late.
728
00:36:11,893 --> 00:36:13,654
Yeah, we lost against Tranmere,
729
00:36:13,654 --> 00:36:15,828
but we had a really good win
against Mansfield,
730
00:36:15,828 --> 00:36:17,209
who are fighting for the title.
731
00:36:17,209 --> 00:36:19,004
Now we'’re on the road again.
732
00:36:19,004 --> 00:36:21,731
[podcast host 2] Yeah, in form,
Doncaster lying 15th place
733
00:36:21,731 --> 00:36:24,699
despite spending
most of the season
in relegation territory.
734
00:36:24,699 --> 00:36:27,219
- Hi, folks.
- Some will say it'’s an easy
three points for the Reds,
735
00:36:27,219 --> 00:36:30,222
but they have to
tread with caution
before turning their sights
736
00:36:30,222 --> 00:36:33,191
on the last real threat
of the season,
Stockport County.
737
00:36:33,191 --> 00:36:36,849
[commentator] Good evening
from the Eco-Power Stadium
in Doncaster.
738
00:36:36,849 --> 00:36:40,232
As Wrexham look to bolster
their promotion hopes.
739
00:36:40,232 --> 00:36:42,545
So much to play for
for both teams this evening.
740
00:36:42,545 --> 00:36:45,375
And that'’s what makes
the old cliché of,
741
00:36:45,375 --> 00:36:48,378
"Every game'’s a cup tie
towards the end of the season."
742
00:36:49,793 --> 00:36:52,071
Long ball into the channel.
It'’s gonna run beyond Palmer.
743
00:36:52,071 --> 00:36:54,729
Paul Mullin'’s carried on
into the penalty area.
Here'’s Mullin.
744
00:36:54,729 --> 00:36:57,629
Hooks it back.
Had little support. It'’s
forced behind Cannon to Lee.
745
00:36:57,629 --> 00:37:01,080
Bolton outside the area.
Paul Mullin trying to get
outside on the right-hand side.
746
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,290
Does so, but it'’s not
the best pass by Bolton.
747
00:37:03,911 --> 00:37:05,499
[Parkin] Fucking hell.
748
00:37:06,776 --> 00:37:07,880
[commentator] Lee goes deep
749
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,261
to the back post instead.
750
00:37:09,261 --> 00:37:11,298
Will Boyle
heads it back across.
751
00:37:11,298 --> 00:37:13,921
Can Palmer get there? He can'’t.
It'’s just dropped wide.
752
00:37:13,921 --> 00:37:15,267
- Got to score.
- Wrexham! Wrexham!
753
00:37:15,267 --> 00:37:16,820
We'’ve got to fucking score.
754
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:18,753
[chanting]
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
755
00:37:18,753 --> 00:37:21,135
Allowing play to continue.
Mullin to Lee.
756
00:37:21,963 --> 00:37:23,171
James McClean.
757
00:37:24,311 --> 00:37:26,623
It'’s behind Paul Mullin.
Intercepted again.
758
00:37:26,623 --> 00:37:28,246
Fucking hell.
759
00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:30,178
[Parkinson]
What are we fucking doing here?
760
00:37:31,456 --> 00:37:33,941
[commentator]
Now Cannon over the top,
but Palmer'’s stopped his run.
761
00:37:33,941 --> 00:37:36,046
Go all the way. Go all the way!
762
00:37:36,806 --> 00:37:38,428
Just don'’t give it up.
763
00:37:38,428 --> 00:37:41,086
Adelakun.
Up against Bolton again.
764
00:37:41,086 --> 00:37:43,951
Onto his right foot. Low cross.
Nice. Good play.
765
00:37:44,986 --> 00:37:46,333
Maxwell.
766
00:37:46,333 --> 00:37:47,920
Left-footed cross.
Deep this time.
767
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,163
Over Will Boyle.
768
00:37:51,545 --> 00:37:53,823
- [cheering]
- It'’s gone in off the post!
769
00:37:56,515 --> 00:37:57,551
Fucking hell!
770
00:37:58,931 --> 00:38:00,864
And he couldn'’t have placed
that header anymore perfectly.
771
00:38:00,864 --> 00:38:03,004
Arthur Okonkwo had no chance
772
00:38:03,004 --> 00:38:06,318
as it hits
the foot of the post, right on
the stroke of halftime.
773
00:38:08,803 --> 00:38:12,220
[Parkinson] Too many sloppy,
cheap fucking giveaways.
774
00:38:12,220 --> 00:38:16,846
Too many. If the whole team'’s
doing that, the whole mentality
is, "We'’re not at it."
775
00:38:16,846 --> 00:38:18,951
We'’re not fucking at it.
776
00:38:18,951 --> 00:38:21,954
We'’re fucking patting ourselves
on the back after a great win
on fucking Friday.
777
00:38:21,954 --> 00:38:23,508
We look loose.
778
00:38:23,508 --> 00:38:25,648
We look as though
we don'’t really fucking care,
779
00:38:25,648 --> 00:38:27,512
and I know we do.
780
00:38:27,512 --> 00:38:30,204
Every one of us
need to sharpen
our fucking game up. Come on.
781
00:38:31,205 --> 00:38:32,620
[commentator]
You can hear the atmosphere
782
00:38:32,620 --> 00:38:34,381
here inside
the Eco-Power Stadium.
783
00:38:36,210 --> 00:38:39,178
- [chanting] Wrexham!
- He'’s gonna cross this
first time on his left foot,
784
00:38:39,178 --> 00:38:40,973
deep to the back post.
785
00:38:40,973 --> 00:38:43,010
O'’Connor gets his head to it,
keeps that ball alive.
786
00:38:43,010 --> 00:38:44,632
Played only as far as Barnett.
787
00:38:44,632 --> 00:38:46,841
Barnett hits it low,
and it'’s just wide.
788
00:38:46,841 --> 00:38:49,085
Well played. Good! Come on!
789
00:38:49,085 --> 00:38:51,190
Looking for Mullin.
790
00:38:51,190 --> 00:38:54,711
Tries to get away from Olowu.
Did really well.
Not been given.
791
00:38:55,609 --> 00:38:58,370
He'’s won the corner,
but a foul given against him.
792
00:38:58,370 --> 00:39:01,891
And for his angry protest,
he'’s gonna earn
a yellow card as well.
793
00:39:01,891 --> 00:39:03,513
Mullin furious.
794
00:39:04,549 --> 00:39:06,171
[Mullin]
It was really disappointing.
795
00:39:06,171 --> 00:39:08,035
Obviously,
if you'’re getting closer
796
00:39:08,035 --> 00:39:09,588
and then you go into a game--
797
00:39:09,588 --> 00:39:12,280
Like every game, you want--
You want to try and win.
798
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,042
[commentator] Tom O'’Connor.
Left-footed corner.
It'’s low to the near post.
799
00:39:15,042 --> 00:39:17,665
Not dealt with comfortably.
It'’s back heeled.
And it'’s Paul Mullin!
800
00:39:17,665 --> 00:39:19,909
[cheering]
801
00:39:26,985 --> 00:39:30,402
The offside flag goes up,
and he didn'’t need to touch it.
802
00:39:30,402 --> 00:39:32,680
He didn'’t need to touch it.
803
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,443
If Mullin hadn'’t celebrated,
I don'’t think
the flag was going up.
804
00:39:36,443 --> 00:39:38,099
Tell me he'’s not touched it.
805
00:39:38,099 --> 00:39:40,274
Oh, Mulls, what are you doing?
806
00:39:40,274 --> 00:39:42,518
I kicked the ball in the goal.
Got given offside.
807
00:39:42,518 --> 00:39:45,417
I still don'’t believe
it was offside, but I
should'’ve just let it go in.
808
00:39:47,454 --> 00:39:50,077
[commentator] Ben Tozer.
Cross-field pass, looks for
Fletcher at the back post.
809
00:39:50,077 --> 00:39:51,492
Fletcher'’s gonna get there.
810
00:39:52,769 --> 00:39:54,599
Fletcher'’s header.
Brilliant save.
811
00:39:54,599 --> 00:39:56,980
[Mullin] Fletcher'’s had
a great header saved
812
00:39:56,980 --> 00:39:59,086
in the last moments
of the game,
which would'’ve got us a draw.
813
00:39:59,086 --> 00:40:01,571
- [whistle blows]
- There is
the full time whistle.
814
00:40:03,021 --> 00:40:04,885
A blow for Wrexham.
815
00:40:04,885 --> 00:40:06,473
Yeah, frustration'’s the word.
816
00:40:06,473 --> 00:40:09,959
[Ker] So, again, our away form
comes back to haunt us.
817
00:40:09,959 --> 00:40:11,650
And we'’ve got five games to go,
818
00:40:11,650 --> 00:40:14,446
and that really is
probably the last one
we can afford to lose.
819
00:40:14,446 --> 00:40:17,276
We'’ve gotta go away to Crewe.
We'’ve gotta welcome Stockport
to the Racecourse.
820
00:40:17,276 --> 00:40:21,626
So there'’s no doubt
we'’re gonna be fighting
right up until the end.
821
00:40:22,489 --> 00:40:23,524
Yeah.
