Carl Pearson

We actually did it!! The Rural have got ourselves into a final. And today, fully deserved. We’ve gone and beaten a side that a few weeks ago put 9 past us. Massively proud of the lads. You deserved that today. Into a final… let’s enjoy it. #UpTheRural

Majestic 🤌

Big Shout out to Senegal’s reserve goal keeper Yehvan Diouf who was active all through out the game handing Edouard Mendy his towel and fighting off ball boys and Moroccan players. A Real Soldier.💪🇸🇳

@_AFCBARCABROM Nah, too much quality in the squad these days to say that. Hopefully we’ll have everyone fit soon and can start showing it on the pitch 💪🏽👊🏽

@C_pearson89 Ooo Carl is a one man team 👀

Just gonn leave this here @BDSFL1

@_AFCBARCABROM @BedsFootballPod @IvelFC @KempstonRural @BDSFL1 @Bedford_SSupp Just try to keep the scoreline down when you play my team 😅.. the 7-1 loss we walked away with in pre season is looking better and better every week 😂

@C_pearson89 @BedsFootballPod @IvelFC @KempstonRural @BDSFL1 @Bedford_SSupp Can’t help the team we played today had no subs or a keeper always going to go one way 👀

Ivel 0 - 9 (we think) @_AFCBARCABROM A very much depleted Ivel team and it shows in the score line but credit to @_AFCBARCABROM as they kept pushing for more. @KempstonRural Definitely a Div 1 team…..

@BedsFootballPod @IvelFC @_AFCBARCABROM @KempstonRural @BDSFL1 Yes there is always better teams… but not normally with so much historical evidence showing a team is ready for the league above but the decision not being made to avoid such a clear gulf in class. @Bedford_SSupp called it before league season started..9 goals per match so far👀

@IvelFC @_AFCBARCABROM @KempstonRural @BDSFL1 you still have time to save both Div 1 and 2 by resolving this. Failure to do so is on you. Don't lose another season.

@IvelFC @_AFCBARCABROM @KempstonRural @BDSFL1 👀👀😅

Our recurrent miscarriage story. Seven babies we never met. Miscarriage is still a taboo subject and I feel like now is the time to use my platform on X to tell our story - we suffered in silence for so long. At times my wife and I never told a single person about our loss but with time, I have realised how common an experience we have suffered. In the age bracket of 35-39 miscarriage occurs in around 1 in every 5 pregnancies. After several miscarriages we realised something wasn’t right and later found out my wife was a carrier of a balanced translocation: a chromosome rearrangement which can be passed on to an unborn child which can lead to medical problems. We didn’t think having a biological child was therefore possible and on the same day we had an appointment booked with an adoption agency we had a call from the NHS offering a possible solution: IVF. By using a new version of IVF which tested the genetics of our embryos our miracle baby Gaia was born in our first attempt. We feel so blessed to have Gaia after so much heart ache. Whilst going through IVF we produced two heathy embryos that survived the process and we felt like it was only right, after Gaia to use the second embryo. Women who go through IVF are heroes and my wife again went through the gruelling schedule of medication second time round. But it wasn’t to be and 18 months ago we miscarried again and decided to draw a line under the idea of a second. 8 months ago, completely out of the blue we fell pregnant naturally and we’re now expecting a healthy baby boy in a matter of weeks. We’re truly blessed but fielding so many questions in the last decade has at times been difficult so I wanted to address this in hope many will think twice before asking such personal questions around having children. So please… before you ask your friends and family: “When are you having kids?” or “Are you having a second?” Consider that maybe they have tried and failed or are having difficulties. We were constantly asked these questions by people close to us and my wife especially really struggled having to answer them. She wasn’t ready to explain what had happened and she felt bad for avoiding the truth but was constantly but in these awkward situations. Please consider that the person you’re asking might be on a difficult journey and that miscarriage is way more common than many think.

@_AFCBARCABROM @BDSFL1 Div 1.

A tight competitive game this morning, where both teams were on it from the off, 1-0 for majority of the game and we just stepped it up a gear in the second half. Final score 4-0. #UpTheBrom🖤🤍

@Coplesportsfc Great result 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

FULL TIME RESULT ⚽⚽ Meltis Rangers FC 1-2 Cople Sports FC Injuries depleted us to a thread bare squad of 12 players but the lads dug deep to get all three points. Two wins from two to start the season 💪 ⚽ Luke Gurney ⚽ Michael Rushden

@BDSFL1 @Bedford_SSupp * Toddington

@BDSFL1 @Bedford_SSupp Yes, unfortunately I was in the same division as them back in my second year in the beds Sunday league 😅🙈👴🏽

Div1 @BDSFL1 Starting off with last years champions @_CKFC_ 🏆 They have to be the favourites and will be going for the league again this year Cousins to run the show and Wilson to bag whenever he plays ⚽️ Two cup runs have to be the target for a club that have a big squad

@Bedford_SSupp @BDSFL1 👀👀

@BDSFL1 @C_pearson89

@_AFCBARCABROM @BDSFL1 @Bedford_SSupp Me?!? Maybe in my younger years 😅🤣 It is what it is, and nothing personal and not your teams decision to not be put up (regardless off whether you should really have) . I’ll hopefully be back fit by the time our two clubs clash. Hope it ends up being a good season 🤝🏽

@C_pearson89 @BDSFL1 @Bedford_SSupp Also you don’t want to be in div2 because you want to play on div3 what I’m hearing from your gaffa? Stop focusing on other teams fella, your a div 1 player anyway Carl

@_AFCBARCABROM @BDSFL1 @Bedford_SSupp So no response to the facts I raised? 👀👀 @BDSFL1 appreciate you guys are volunteers but please introduce extra due diligence into registered players in future seasons and allow greater flexibility in league constitutions 🙏🏽

@C_pearson89 @BDSFL1 @Bedford_SSupp Maybe you should focus on your own teams development

@_AFCBARCABROM @BDSFL1 @Bedford_SSupp you’ve signed half Kempston hammers side from last year and have Saturday players from Kempston rovers reserves. Plus the league split happened with teams having played odd number of games, could easily have ended up staying div 1 if your fixture list was different

@BDSFL1 @C_pearson89 @Bedford_SSupp Don’t worry, we haven’t signed players from division1 sides, we are just truly trying to improve our team from getting relegated from divsion1 last season as we battled and struggled all year, we won a cup yes, but league form and cup form is two completely different things.
