To all of those wannabes that moan and complain about referees, go and do the coarse, get a whistle and get in touch with us. Let’s see how you deal with people like you. No refs, no game. Think!!!

Do us a favour @seftoncouncil leave it to us to decide when games should be played on our pitches or not. You totally got it wrong again. The pitches were impeccable this Sunday as was the weather. Your Carte Blanche dismissal of games this weekend was pathetic. #pitchinspections

It’s with a heavy heart that we have to report the passing of our CEO Chris Nelson today who served junior football at Buckley Hill for over 35 years. He was a season ticket holder at Anfield and always had a good eye for the game. RIP Chris, you will be dearly missed.

Our young refs will be wearing yellow armbands tomorrow indicating that they are Junior Referees and as such need to be respected. That said, ALL of our referees need to be respected. They do the job you refuse to do when called upon. #REFSPECT

The parents attitude and behaviour at our games lately has been less than acceptable at Buckley Hill. Managers /Coaches you need to rein them in. It’s your responsibility. Failure to do so will severely threaten your future on our league. @Liverpool_CFA

As much as we try to leave it to as late as possible to try and get games on, we believe the extreme weather warnings of heavy rain and strong winds on Sunday would be foolish to ignore. To that end we’re postponing Sunday’s fixtures at all of our three venues this weekend 9-2-20

It’s not about the parents planning their weekends ( or is that nights out) it’s about the kids chance to play. We give the games every opportunity to go ahead by conducting a pitch inspection nearer to the time of the games. Each venue is different and not all suffer as others.
