Manx Footy

Totally an independent not affiliated to any organisation but has a keen interest in Manx Football both on the Island and anytime a team competes off Island.

What’s going on with Manx Footie when clubs can’t field a team to play in the FA Cup?

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

Agree Hughie, smell of freshly cut grass, on a summers evening with a 🍺 in hand 🌞 ⚽️ https://t.co/BApoTwuV7D

[Shug @hsharkey63]

@FootyManx Would be all for summer football

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

Just prefer footy on a Saturday either change the league season or AT doesn’t seem to be any other choices apart from a water polo league. https://t.co/1wyNGyXWdr

[Shug @hsharkey63]

@Shay_Sharkey @FootyManx @TheSportPackage Would you prefer a good grass pitch to artificial

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

You should know and have experienced both. Good luck for the season have enjoyed following you in 🇮🇪 https://t.co/I8uj9qj7zl

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

“Terrible record for injuries and long term damage to joints knees and hips” I think for anybody playing sport regularly on AT would be pretty horrific. https://t.co/HuQXYrF2Ux

[Shug @hsharkey63]

@FootyManx Horror picture 🤣

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

Some more light reading which again highlights that original AT was a problem but not the newer ones used today https://t.co/bF4GAfXtIZ https://t.co/pK6f5YeQH2

[Shug @hsharkey63]

@FootyManx @frankharrison2 That document from 2013 proves nothing have you read it ?

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

Yes and basically it is stating in many instances the injury risk is less on AT certainly not the horror picture you painted. https://t.co/pK6f5YeQH2

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

@hsharkey63 @frankharrison2 lot safer to play on Artificial than Natural Grass https://t.co/JX4feNGDS6

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

Not according to the facts Hughie. Maybe so initially but not with the newer surfaces https://t.co/JX4feNGDS6 https://t.co/P3kgDRWClj

[Shug @hsharkey63]

@FootyManx @TheSportPackage Astro pitches are not the answer, terrible record for injuries and long term damage to joints knees and hips

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

This is obviously not just an IOM problem @TheSportPackage https://t.co/eNDw6pjffo

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

Well done to the @TheSportPackage for putting the spotlight on this serious issue https://t.co/RDobTY8iep

Looks like Astro pitches are the way forward to beat the winter weather as has happened in the Faroes but done with UEFA funding. @TheSportPackage https://t.co/TOJK6cOxar

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

This is what was said in 🇮🇪 when they changed to a summer league. Wouldn’t it be great if those in charge of Manx Footy went and got some facts rather than just decided on what they think @TheSportPackage https://t.co/4AS9F0OIdL

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

Will never happen whilst decisions are made on opinions rather than facts. It’s too difficult to pick up the phone and ask the FAI how it’s gone for them since they changed to or a summer league or even better speak to manx lad @Shay_Sharkey who plays there #IOM #changeisnotgood https://t.co/3HrpvIqEux

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

Got down to see the U18s last night and just defrosted but well worth it. How to take free kicks. Could certainly teach some of the Seniors. Well done lads.

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

This is so spot on surely with Social Media some form of Social Responsibility comes with it. Such a shame that there are those that don't see it. #FakeNews https://t.co/I7u3mB3zYt

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

Worth going down to the Bowl last night certainly got my money's worth with the lads winning in extra time. Took a few hours to thaw out.

[Manx Footy @FootyManx]

I would go with that Hughie. Liverpool is the centre of the universe according to the Scousers. https://t.co/x3cbiRWnEb

[Shug @hsharkey63]

@FootyManx @ManxRadio Liverpool are a country maybe
