While it was speculated upon all week, it's now done! Congratulations to "The Man from Mayobridge" (to paraphrase @AlexJacquesF1!), @csmyth2601 on signing to the @Saints 53 with a new 3-year deal! LET'S GO! #ProStarFamily @NFLUKIRE @McQuaidNFL @TadhgLeader

@FACupFactfile ... and if the FA insists on leaving Solihull Moors as the team recorded in history in place of Moor Green then Ito be consistent they need to award Wimbledon's FA Cup Final triumph to MK Dons.

[Michael Preston @PRMikePreston]

Hi @FACupFactfile
All FA Cup results for Moor Green FC (1901-2007) on the official FA website archive have been replaced by 'Solihull Moors' who did not exist back then. Are your results correct? And do you know who at the FA could change these errors? Thanks!

[Michael Preston @PRMikePreston]

@FACupFactfile Yes. The FA's own website. Every year prior to 2007. For example, Moor Green's historic 4 qualifying rounds wins in 1979 and first ever First Round Proper match are listed as Solihull Moors. Airbrushed from history. https://t.co/y7UbBvfq2t (search by year)

[Michael Preston @PRMikePreston]

@Covboy1987pusb @FACupFactfile Moor Green's results are listed as 'Solihull Moors' while the Solihull Borough results remain the same. I'd because SMFC took the place of MGFC in the pyramid.

@danroan "Sheffield Wednesday is one of the great brands for English football..."
No, they're a club for their fans, not a brand for the game.

@SwearingSport No left foot.

Awesome @British_Airways customer service experience with Kumar who was very patient as I asked for multiple flight changes on an existing booking multiple times. We got it done after 30 minutes and a little more cost that I wanted, but a chat with some laughs and right result.

@NBCSports Bob Coy, Moor Green FC, mid 80s.

The #cowboyseagles weather delay reminds me of VAR in the Premier League. Some boffin with a computer saw something they didn't like and made a rash call that nobody else thought was necessary.

[Michael Preston @PRMikePreston]

At the post match press conference will someone please ask Brendan Rodgers if when he said recently that #CelticFC would compete and be a top 6 team in the Premier League, he meant the Kazakstan Premier League because they just might.

@HighgateUnited You'll have at least half a dozen old Moor Green supporters cheering for our once rivals Highgate. I'm over from New Orleans, another from Cardiff. Haven't been to Tythe Barn Lane since the 1982/83 season!

[Michael Preston @PRMikePreston]

@neilreynoldsnfl Is this at St Andrews? Sorry, Knighthead Park.

[Michael Preston @PRMikePreston]

@TonyIncenzo 1. Moor Green
2. Moor Green
3. New Orleans Jesters!
4. Birmingham City
5. Aston Villa (now that there's no Moor Green)

@retrofootballnw The entire Bournemouth and Hereford teams in 1980. It was at Dean Court in Bournemouth. I was there on holiday. They were in the middle of a preseason friendly at the time.

@BBCSport @ShamoonHafez '...Monday nights are more synonymous with live wrestling shows on television in the USA...'
Really? I've lived here for 23 years, never knew that. Monday Night Football (NFL) perhaps!

[Michael Preston @PRMikePreston]

@BBCMOTD I remember a @BostonCityFC away, @NPSLSoccer playoff match. We'd flown to DC, driven to deepest Virginia. 0-0 after 90 when lightning caused a 3hr delay. ET started at midnight, no score. 3-1 up in the penalty shootout, lost 4-3! Hotel by 2am, up at 3am to drive to airport!
