ON THE ROAD - ILFORD FC

[@Rzarecteh]

That league pyramid visual is really useful

[@smivadee]

Cheers Nick! Thought it would give people who aren't too familiar with the pyramid some context for the level we're visiting

[@jasperh1857]

@@smivadee any chance i can find it anywhere? Need to explain to my Premier-League-fan mates how my beloved non league works lol

[@Weirdone123]

Feel for that keeper, young lad playing the men’s game is a hard transition

[@theyeatusdad]

Especially in those wet conditions, not an easy first game to get thrown into.

[@derpmcderp5003]

Have to feel for him, I still wake up in cold sweats about getting nutmegged in goal when I was 13

[@Gyu-ky1xp]

I still wake up in cold sweats about whiffing on a pass back and having the ball roll into the net. I have never played a competitive game as a keeper

[@Chris-hm8py]

P@ssing down, no food and no atmosphere, you should of extended this and done a McDonalds drive through addition!

Love the fact you add the player voices in while ur filming. Little bit extra comedy always appreciated.

Cheers Sam! Glad you like!

On the RAW, yep, width restriction again. Love it, Smiv. Love it!

[@711shnitz]

Your iteration of the conversation just before 2nd half kick off was hilariously accurate it seems

[@smivadee]

Ha, I’d be interested to know how much was spot on

U deserve more recognition

[@smivadee]

Ah thanks!

Nice one Toby, I’m lucky to have a lot of viewers who really support me including yourself! Thank you!

I miss your vlogs Smiv but this plus a Palmers video every Monday is a very good consolation. Thanks for all that you do. Congrats to Charlie and his missus on the anniversary!

For the American viewers here, on the next video can you explain what a width restriction is for. We don't have those in the states

[@trustymccoolguy4229]

There’s no way Smiv can put “Bonsai Tree” in a video, LOVE OTR

[@DaveDoesStuff1]

I’ve gotta say Smiv, these are the best videos on YT for me. Genuinely funny, entertaining and a great shout out for non league football. Love it!

[@smivadee]

Love that Dave, thank you!

[@SilverfoxJB]

That keeper! I actually think the bin, could have kept out more balls.

[@MattHope13]

Really love the league pyramid visual to show us where you are visiting. As an American, once it gets past league 2, I really get lost and confused

[@TheFIFA16]

Poor keeper feel bad for the young lad :(

The voice over at 8:40 was brilliant

I played 5 games for Ilford in 1995 glad they still going remember the old days of trials being held where loads of people turned up and was whittled down over the weeks

[@smivadee]

Sounds like a good crack. What other clubs did you play for?

In 2007 Gloucester City lost their stadium to citywide floods and they've been bouncing round local clubs stadiums for 13 years. This year they've returned to their new home ground and are (as I comment) top of the league! You should definitely visit when the ground opens

Come to Wroxham FC at Trafford Park, top quality atmosphere.

[@joshyyom]

If you thought Bury being abandoned was unlucky, last season North Ferriby were 2-0 up with 7 minutes to go when it got called off and the next week were 3-1 up in the 92nd minutes when it got abandoned. A month later they were 4-0 up with about 10 to go when the floodlights went and that was stopped. Also, could you bring back the league tables and form please.

[@smivadee]

That’s mad! Very unlucky

[@TheFootballbantsTV]

Young lad in goal will learn from this obviously his stature makes it tougher for him physically. first goal he conceded should of used two hands, second one he should punch and the third two hands down. Ultimately needs to use both hands so he’s got more behind the ball. He will learn from this was obvious he was nervous before the game. I think communicating with his defence would of helped massively needed more verbal support from the leaders at the back in this game to talk to him.

[@LUFFZEE]

OTR...yes, back again. ‘Old man voice’ also back in the house...😃
