Michael Third

If it was easy, anybody could do it.......

What a game. A last-minute goal secures us a draw against the league leaders. #HearUsRoar

@SCLadiesFC All the best @sjo74 wherever your next challenge takes you. Hopefully we'll cross paths again, always very welcoming over the last few years and always enjoyed our quick chats. Top man!

Today we offer a heartfelt thank you to First Team Manager, Steve O’Hara, who has stepped down from his role after more than four fantastic years with the Club. During Steve’s time in charge, he led the team to outstanding success — two Cheshire County Cup victories and two Super Cup wins — achievements that reflect his dedication, leadership, and belief in the squad. Steve has taken the difficult decision to step aside, recognising that it’s the right time for him to move on. His honesty and integrity in this decision shows exactly why he has been such a respected figure at the Club. From everyone at the Club - Thank you, Steve. Your contribution has been immense, you will be greatly missed and you will always be part of Stockport County Ladies FC’s History. 💙

After watching this you will never look at stress the same again...

@chorleywomenfc @CarmeloRuggieri Best of luck to both of you, I'm sure you'll not be without offers. Always a pleasure to speak to you after games regardless of the result either way.

Club Statement - 9th Feb 2026 We can confirm both Carmelo Ruggieri & Nathan Soulby have left the Club; for more details see link 👇 Chorleywomenfc.co.uk/news/club-stat…

@coach_kevin_m 1 working, 1 watching, 1 waiting. Anymore than that in a queue is wasted

In my opinion, 1v1 work within a team environment needs multiple stations. Cos 16 players and one station equals 14 players queueing. I'd love to hear how you approach this. What's worked? What hasn't?

He chooses physical violence but She chooses to demolish him in the game!!

This will be the best video you watch today hands down

Not one to share stuff like this but always knew the ones to avoid!!!! #shitsideofgrassroots chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

N'Golo Kante was told he was too small. Too quiet. Not talented enough. While other kids trained at big academies, he trained alone on public fields in Paris. Early mornings. Cold nights. He was ignored by scouts. Ignored by coaches who wanted size and speed. Ignored because he did not look special. During the day, he worked a full time job collecting trash. Long shifts. Heavy work. Then straight to training. At night, he played semi pro football. Small clubs. Empty stands. Muddy boots. He improved by mastering the basics. Winning the ball back. Passing simple. Running longer than everyone else. He kept showing up. Even when no one cared. Even when no one believed. Then one scout finally noticed him. A small French club gave him a chance. No headlines. Almost no money. He played two seasons there. Ran more than anyone in the league. Then suddenly bigger clubs were watching. He moved. Leicester City took a risk on him. Cheap transfer. Little expectation. One season later, he won the Premier League. One of the greatest upsets ever. Chelsea signed him next. He won another Premier League. Then the FA Cup. Then the Europa League. Then the Champions League. With France, he won the World Cup. From ignored to world champion. From public fields to the biggest stages. Not because he was the most talented kid. But because he never stopped earning it. If you are a young player and feel behind right now, or are a coach and know a player who could do more: Remember the story is still being written. Hard work pays off.

St Martin today and a semi-naked beach! Half of the people definitely should have kept their clothes on.....

Brief stop in Martinique and of course the local pitch. Lots of lost balls during warmups I imagine

He’s doing this with a tennis ball. Young players take note. Individual practice is so important for development.

Barbados again - watched the racehorses get washed off, jet ski and cocktails in Lobster Alive. Not a bad place to be stranded. Ship still has engine failure!

@LawG3333 No, we weren't due back to Barbados for another week, the passengers due to disembark at St Lucia may be stuck though as we missed that port

@Ticky1977 Is Barbados a scheduled stop today? If so, anyone disembarking to fly back to the UK may find their flight isn't happening as a number of Barbados bound flights have turned back mid-atlantic due to the US invasion of Venezuela. All flights from the US to Barbados are also off.

Day 8 on floating hotel Brittania. I'd love to say we've cruised the Carribean & seen some amazing places but we're going round in circles & heading back to Barbados due to engine issues. It could be worse, we could be crammed in with an ever decreasing drinks menu. Oh hang on...
