There are plenty of us who have seen us lose games to Hayes & Yeading, Whitehawk, Carshalton, Tamworth and North Ferriby. In the last decade, we’ve defied all odds to win 3 promotions, the EFL Trophy and become the first Non-League side in over a century to reach the FA Cup QFs

After being at the GIS to watch Gateshead vs Brackley I didn’t think I would see a worse ref performance than that today but have been proved wrong Kavanagh and his officials have had an absolute shocker

They don't realise the standard. So many academy lads don't realise how tough National League North & South is these days.

5 Tottenham goal kicks in the opening 4 mins played short to Vicario and they’ve played short once and floated the rest into the middle of the pitch and lost possession. Surely after the 3rd, you just push everyone up and try and relieve some pressure 🤦‍♂️🤣

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.

Hannah Hampton has no depth perception. She had multiple operations on her eyes before she was 5 years old. She was told she’d never play professional sport. What she’s just done defies description, medical science, anything else you can name. A phenomenal human being. 🥲

Such sad news. A fantastic photographer but an even better human. Loved his honesty and straight talking. Will be a massive miss across the North-East Football scene.
