Let me preface by saying this: TikTok is not my preferred form of social media. That being said, I appreciate an entertaining video regardless of the source.
The gem I bring to you today comes from Rossett Park in the Merseyside suburb of Crosby, as Marine FC faced off against Warrington Rylands in the Northern Premier League Division One West — the eighth tier of English football.
As the second and third-place sides in the division faced off this past Saturday, one young lad named Sean Lunt was along with his camera to film a vlog that would quickly become a classic.
This three-minute video had all the elements of an Academy Award-winning film: multiple plot points, unforeseen developments, eccentric characters, great accents, and a devilish villain.

Here were the highlights for me:
- Just the way he says "Warrington Rylands" at the beginning
- "The flat-capped guy who strangles kids, it's not on, absolutely not on"
- Rylands goalkeeper Graeme Mccall taking the piss out of the Marine fans after the second goal
- "He's trying to take the piss"
Great all-around theater that really encapsulates what non-league football is all about. You can also see the full vlog on YouTube, but that is about as good as it gets in three minutes.
