Great news tonight - the 1-1 draw between Gateshead and Stockport has secured Southport another season of Conference football.
It's been painful watching Southport's form crash over the last couple of months, culminating in a run of seven defeats in eight matches, but their recent resurgence meant that Stockport's failing to win tonight guaranteed the Sandgrounders safety.

Congratulations. Nice club with decent fans. Look forward to visiting Haig Road again next season.
I see Suarez is back in the headlines for the all the wrong reasons again.
What will the apologists come up with this time, I wonder?

That's all ok then. As long as you say sorry afterwards, take a bite out of an opponent.
And should he even been on the pitch for the equaliser?
Is this an occasion where the referee has decided not to see the incident , therefore the FA can decide on the punishment , if the referee had decided he saw it would of just got the standard punishment for violent conduct 3 maybe 4 match ban .
The way that Ian Ayre has decided to cancel his holiday makes you think that this time the management in the US is very unhappy and he may be lucky to survive with Liverpool into the 2013/4 season , its a game of wait and see .

What are you implying by the comment 'where the referee has decided not to see the incident', that he chose to ignore it?
Its obvious from the film clips of the incident that the referee didn't see the bite by Saurez (who I didn't know had form for this disgusting behavior until I read this morning's newspapers) and neither did the liner.
Its all such a shame, as Saurez's football has been superb this season, but his behavior means he will almost certainly be playing elsewhere in September. A player LFC will really miss if he is sold.
Can I take the chance to congratulate Chester FC for promotion into The Blue Square Conference Premier, the trophy was handed to them on Saturday, the team also won the Cheshire Senior Cup last week. Be rolling into the Premier League soon!

I will rephrase it then , if the Referee had seen it , he would have hamstrung the FA .
The FA are always saying that can not deal once the Referee says he saw the offence , in this case he didnt see the offence and the FA can deal as they see fit .

Fair enough. A ridiculous policy by the FA as results in widely varying punishments. Suspect Suarez will be looking at a ban of 10+ games.
In rugby union a club can ban a player pending an official punishment and this is taken into account when calculating the length of the ban.
