Ryan Reynolds has made his stance on English Football League rules clear following Wrexham‘s nail-biting win over promotion rivals Notts County. The Deadpool star, who co-owns the Welsh club alongside Rob McElhenney, was present at the Racecourse Ground when goalkeeper Ben Foster made a stunning penalty save to secure a 3-2 victory in the 97th minute of the game. Now, Wrexham stand on the brink of automatic promotion to League Two, while Notts County must go through the play-offs despite accumulating over 100 points this season. Reynolds’ comments on the league’s regulations prove that this Hollywood superstar is more than just a pretty face, and he’s not afraid to voice his concerns.
Actor and Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds has labelled the promotion system in the National League as “insane”. The league currently only promotes the top team, while the rest face playoff battles for the remaining promotion spot. Reynolds expressed his frustration in a recent interview, suggesting that both Wrexham and Notts County should be celebrating their accomplishments together. Despite his criticism, he also highlighted the positive impact this season has had on raising the profile of the National League. Reynolds is confident that the drama created by these two clubs will be talked about for ages, proving the devoted efforts of both teams have paid off.
Wrexham’s title hopes hung in the balance after falling behind to John Bostock’s stunning free-kick just before half-time. But the Welsh side wasn’t ready to give up on their aspirations just yet. With a remarkable comeback, Paul Mullin and Jacob Mendy turned the game on its head, putting Wrexham in a 2-1 lead with just 20 minutes left on the clock. However, it wasn’t an easy ride as Kyle Cameron headed County level. But Elliot Lee, a hero for the home team, put Wrexham back in the lead. It was a dramatic ending, with Wrexham ultimately winning 3-2. Yet, the stand-out moment was the save from 40-year-old Ben Foster, ensuring Wrexham held onto their victorious title push.
Tennis is not just a game, it’s a way of life for many. John Reynolds, a professional tennis player, recently experienced the intensity and pressure of this sport at an entirely different level. He admitted that he had used up all the beats that were left in his heart during one of his matches. This statement speaks volumes about the dedication and love that tennis players have for their sport. The passion that drives them to give their all, even when their heart is ready to give up, is what sets them apart. And this passion is not just limited to the players, but also to the lifers – the fans who have watched and participated in this beautiful, torturous game for years. It’s no wonder that Reynolds, despite feeling overwhelmed, is hooked and grateful all at once.
The sense of pride I feel for these guys is indescribable. They exhibited an inner strength I have never seen before in such a mental game. But what truly sets them apart is the power and uniqueness of Notts County. This team has a real story, one that is both moving and inspiring. It is hard to believe what they have accomplished this season, especially given the tragedy they faced with the loss of their CEO Jason Turner. I have enormous respect for everything they have built and all they have done. The pressure cooker they were in made the victory all the sweeter for both teams. Their achievement is nothing short of historic and I can confidently say I have never witnessed anything quite like it.
