    Looks like a late start for Bedford Boys if they were just kicking off 20 minutes ago. 

    Still, guess it's not a school night...

    GOALpublished at 20:23 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2017

    Great to see Bradford's Alpha Juniors in action in the People's Cup.

    Last year they won an FA award, presented by Sir Geoff Hurst at Wembley, for their efforts towards community cohesion in the city.

    Could they make it back to Wembley as cup winners? With netbusters like this, why not?

    Willimott FC have sailed through their Under-16 group in Leicester with a perfect record:

    P4 W4 D0 L0 GF11 GA3 GD+8 Pts12

    Good work, lads!

  7. Postpublished at 20:18 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2017

    It's busy, busy, busy out there!

    Goals are flying in across the country.

    Plenty of celebration but it also seems to be a lot of fun.

    Forget Wembley! That's the most important thing for now.

  8. Ref cam in actionpublished at 20:15 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2017

    Here's that ref cam footage. We'd love to see this in the Premier League.

  9. Future football... with ref cam!published at 20:11 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2017

    Cutting-edge stuff from Northumbria University in the Higher Education category earlier this week (see 18:16 for explanation) . Stand by for the footage...

  10. PENALTY drama in Suttonpublished at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2017

    It's a clear penalty in this Under-16s match - quickly taken to seal a win with the last kick of the game.

    Gutted for the keeper!

    Late action from the under-16s teams in Sutton

  11. Who'd be a ref?published at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2017

    It would be a bit of a squeeze on the tournament budget to provide goal-line technology at 178 FA People's Cup venues, so there's bound to be the odd disputed effort.

    Check out this disallowed 'goal' from the U16 final in 2015. More Frank Lampard or more Geoff Hurst?

    Remember, the ref's decision and result are final, but if you've got any footage worthy of a second look, tweet with #PeoplesCup
