CLUB STATEMENT

The club would like to address rumours circulating on social media regarding unacceptable behaviour following today’s game away to Seaham Red Star.

After a brief investigation, we can confirm that Billingham Town supporter Phil Smith has received a lifetime ban from the club and has been reported to the Northern League, The FA and Cleveland Police.

Although we are delighted to see Town win, and appreciate that celebrations can occasionally go a little too far, ordering a strawberry daiquiri in a pub, with the lads, on a matchday cannot—and will not—be tolerated.

Furthermore, to ensure the club does not encourage similar behaviour in future, lager tops will no longer be served in the clubhouse.

The club considers the matter closed.

Good move not to have played Saka for a single minute of the semi-final to keep him fresh for the prestigious bronze medal match.

@talkSPORT Failure

[Sam Dumitriu @Sam_Dumitriu]

It was smart of Tuchel to rest Saka against Argentina so he could be fully fit for the third place playoff.

@DPJHodges @AshleyWills It's only ridiculous if you're happy with losing

Hard to disagree

@England Sack him immediately. Shat the bed with half hour to go. Pathetic.

[Rob Burley @RobBurl]

Seriously, fire Tuchel for that.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Wrong. It’s the Falkland Islands and they are British. 🇬🇧

[Tim @GetItForward]

@FabrizioRomano We knew it better during the defeat

Do you want to see Thomas Tuchel manage England at Euro 2028? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

Thomas Tuchel's coaching has cost England a chance at winning the World Cup. What a cowardly coaching performance. Can't complain about corruption or favouritism when the reality is it was pathetic, negative choices that invited all this pressure. Parked the bus & paid the price.

[Rob Burley @RobBurl]

Tuchel met the players down. He should be fired.

[Adam Crafton @AdamCrafton_]

I genuinely can’t recall a game of this magnitude where a coach has cost his team in this way. Extraordinary and damaging for Tuchel.

[David Baddiel @Baddiel]

Successive managers at some level do not have the confidence that England can win from attack, from sustained attacking play. And we can. We fucking can.
