Would really appreciate it if people could give this a read! More and more people suffer from mental health issues and the majority feel like they can’t talk to anyone about it. If this tweet even helps 1 person seek help then I’d consider that a success!❤️

@DaleVince No one questioned her ability at the time. It was your integrity as a person, which was proved right within a couple of weeks and is also proved right with this tweet. It gave you publicity at the time and gives you publicity every time a female gets a job in the men’s game.

A trend started at Forest Green, when we appointed Hannah Dingley to head our men’s Academy and then lead our men’s first team. We recruit regardless of gender, race, religion etc etc - the only thing that matters is who looks best suited for the job. Women leading top flight European men’s teams is a very big thing, though really it shouldn’t be. When we appointed Hannah we were accused of a publicity stunt by some - which is classic (sexist attitude), the assumption being Hannah couldn’t possibly have got the job on merit. That’s the attitude we need to end. fourfourtwo.com/person/coaches…

@Mlabus5 Were we watching the same game?

Is this team going to show so fight....#CTFC No more bullshit that we played well but still got hammered.

This is more of miracle than Jesus turning water in to wine

@BRFCJohn @sidwell_katie @hutchisaac Do you really think he’d let his misses tweet this and tag him if he cared about you guys? 😂If all goes well for him, he comes here’s enjoys his football and finds the same form again, he won’t be playing for either of us next season

@sidwell_katie @hutchisaac You’ll delete this again in the summer 😂😂 Let your husband to be do his job, rather than you and his dad making it all about you guys.

Happy Deadline day🥰❤️ So excited to be back 🫶🏽 #CTFC 📸 One of Isaac Hutchinson’s most loyal fans🐾😉 @hutchisaac

@Joe_UTG @JWxttsy Yes, that’s why we’ve signed him on loan?

@Ben_Coldrick @JWxttsy Yeah for you boys you probably need him

Oh my

@Joe_UTG @JWxttsy He’s obviously going to play😂

@JWxttsy I’ll drive him there if you want 😭😭 once he doesn’t play his dad will pipe up aswell

@B_CTFC @Joshua_Brfc Enjoy losing ur best player 😁

Cheltenham fans thinking they were genuinely going to keep hold of him😂😂😂

Oh my😍

Wonder if we are in for him based on how we helped develop Colwill? #ctfc

@JonPalmerSport @mattyadders Is that yes to Saturday or Oldham?

@mattyadders Yes

Bristol Rovers return for Cheltenham Town loanee Isaac Hutchinson confirmed gloucestershirelive.co.uk/sport/football… #ctfc

@WillCtfc @mayhem357_mark 100% get where you are coming from, as I say, I used to think the same way. Pricing will be a big thing that puts people off too.

@Ben_Coldrick @mayhem357_mark I get you mate, just a shame that I’m a uni student who’s doing 4 hour round trips at least to watch us play clubs who wouldn’t seem out of place in the NLS or NLN when we both know there are many people within a mile who probably haven’t been in a long time and are fully able

Any chance the extra 3-3.5k ‘fans’ can turn up to our actual league games? Obviously good for the club for extra revenue etc but god how annoying is it that they only show up for the big games.

@WillCtfc @mayhem357_mark I used to have the same opinion as you when I was one of the younger supporters. Used to go up and down the country every week. Life takes over unfortunately mate and you have to pick and choose your games. FA Cup 3rd round is always going to attract more than a league game too.

@mayhem357_mark Yeah but one was Boxing Day and the other was against a local rival who are flying in the league. Just under 4k against Harrogate, Buxton in round 2 there was around 3,050 home fans. Bradford in r1 we had give or take 2500 home fans. If that’s not glory hunting then what is it?

@Jon_Foulkes_ Surely it’s not up to you guys to decide on a clean slate?😂 it’s whether he’s willing to wipe the slate clean after the abuse🤷‍♂️

I’ve been one of his biggest critics (in a non personal way, just in case someone wants to accuse me of something again!), as he has been poor, but I’d give him a go again. Clean slate & see how it goes. Not sure he’d want to return though with personal abuse he & his fiancé got.

@RNorman7 @cleevecomment @CheltenhamT0wn @JonPalmerSport This is correct, he can’t play for anyone else. It’s either we buy him or he plays for rovers. Until next season obviously but no one is going to buy and let him sit still for half a season. Not sure if someone can buy him and loan back to rovers though🤷‍♂️

@cleevecomment @CheltenhamT0wn @Ben_Coldrick @JonPalmerSport I believe you’re only allowed to play for two teams in one season which is the reason he can only play for Rovers or Cheltenham for the rest of this season.

Understand attacking midfielder Isaac Hutchinson has been recalled by parent club Bristol Rovers after just over four months on loan at Cheltenham Town #ctfc

First game where I feel we could be critical of the tactics last night. The game was crying out for change of formation and players, felt like Cotts left it too late. One of those, move on to the next. #ctfc

Miles off the pace so far but better in the last 5 minutes. Hoping Steve fires some hard truths in to them at half time🤞 #ctfc

We know from previous years (Maidstone🫣) that we can’t take Buxton for granted but you can’t help but be happy with that draw. A real chance for the lads to be sensible and get us in to the 3rd round. Not dreaming of that big tie just yet but hoping it continues our resurgence🤞

Suicide. I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis. You take a rope. You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away. You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck. Then you drop. Some are decapitated. Some aren't. All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them. A son. A daughter. A brother. A sister. A mother. A father. I know 2 men who hung themselves. One was found by his Mom. One was found by his brother. Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on. A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something. So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"? A segway for a moment. I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group. After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is.. "Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue". Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling. "Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom. After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle". Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard". And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying. Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag. If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention. They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up". They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them. If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine. Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out. So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are. You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked. For those who struggle, you're not alone.
