NEW PAPER: much has been made of the grassroot backgrounds of the recent @England #EURO2020 squad. With New Labour's modernisation agenda in mind, this research explores the experiences of the volunteers that football (and all sport) depend on. tandfonline.com/eprint/DS7ZR4D…

And congratulations to Chloe and Emily who were judged as the winners of the challenge. Not only did Chole Emordy and Emily Murray raise just under £150, but they did so in a creative way delivering athletics sessions as well as making and selling bracelets. 2/2

@UWS_Sport Sport Management & Enterprise students have spent this term applying taught content into practice with the Tenner to Tons challenge run by @SSF_Futures. Groups were given £10 and tasked with turning this into as much money as possible. Over £500 was raised for SSF. 1/2

Students will be running the event until 1230 in the street at Lanarkshire campus. A raffle draw will conclude the event. Come and go as you wish.

@UWS_Sport second year Sport Development students hosting their Christmas Comes to Campus sports day. Badminton, table tennis, table football, beat the goalie, and Just Dance. Raising money for @SSF_Futures. Staff, students, and visitors welcome to join in with prizes to be won

Great to be able to present research about the evolving role of the football development practitioner and the implications this has on micro-political interests and emotions. Thank you @FB_Collective for having me. What a well organised conference @UWS_Sport

Looking forward to supporting this event in Newcastle next week. Alongside supporting the event I will be presenting research developed during my time at @SAFCFoL titled- "The evolving role of the football development practitioner- football coach to social worker"

It was great to see the students embrace this opportunity for applying principles learned in the classroom into practice and raise money in the process. Looking forward to seeing what entrepreneurial ideas this year’s students come up with.

@AlexBurt_96 Really useful reflections Alex. Thanks for sharing.

Key questions: - is it better to be naturally a red/yellow and develop blue/green attitudes and bevahiours or vice versa? - if you are naturally a red/yellow is the best co-coach someone who is blue/green? - do you know anyone who is naturally a red but has developed blue traits?

It's 6:00 and I am 10,000 metres high on route to Cagliari - my yearly pilgrimage back home to Sardinia. Most passengers are asleep but I have struck gold in the choice of book - Surrounded by Idiots; I am locked in. I learn how it's possible to categories people into 4 types:

@AJWTheology Chris Mason too- “we over use the word historic occasionally”.

Clive Myrie with an excellent #AccidentalPartridge: “You say you don’t want to count your chickens. What kind of chickens might they be?”

@Karl_McDermott question- what have the grounds team been doing to the right of the pitch (looking from pavilion) at lunch the last couple of days? Looks like hard work with the contraption but not sure what is happening?

Well done to @UWS_Sport Sport Management & Enterprise students who have been raising money for @SSF_Futures. Students were given an initial £10 with the challenge of raising as much money as possible. Current total raised is £1568.28. Thank you to @Preeti_SSF and @Scott_SSF

@haw_stuart This thread continues to pay dividends- thank you Stuart for creating a thread with such a helpful legacy (10 weeks to go for me). Those at any stage of a PhD should like and save this thread for when the time comes.

.@Winn_on_Health the chapter is coming! #KnowledgeExchange

Congratulations @kevyharris and Andrew Adams for compiling this important book. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to contribute to the book with the chapter- "Knowledge Exchange in Evaluation: Moving the Field Forward". Well done to all the other contributors too.

@SophiaWorringer @HouseofCommons @group_realist @NRealists

Looking forward to chairing our third and final #KnowledgeExchange webinar of the year as we welcome @SophiaWorringer (@HouseofCommons) to provide insight on how we can get Parliament to listen to and engage with our research findings. DM @group_realist for webinar link.

@AmazonHelp Well I may end up buying the book from an alternative supplier and cancelling my order with @AmazonUK. Not even an email apologising for the delay or any effort to put things right in a timely manner.

@acgbailey Thanks for letting us know. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the delay. We always strive for all items to be received by the date provided at checkout. However, unforeseen circumstances may occur. Please keep us posted if it doesn't arrive by Sunday. -Brandon

@AmazonHelp The delivery date was meant to be today. The order status is now suggesting the book may not arrive until Sunday! One of the reasons why I ordered from @AmazonUK was the promise that it would be delivered on day of release (today)- sadly this has not proven to be the case.

@acgbailey Hello to you too. Have you been provided with an updated delivery date for this order? -Brandon

@AmazonHelp Hi Brandon, the order is meant to be fulfilled by Amazon.

@acgbailey We're sorry to hear your order didn't arrive as expected. Was this order fulfilled by us at Amazon, or by a third-party seller: amzn.to/UKYourOrders? -Brandon
