Ketch ⚽️

He’s from Blyth.

@robmwrites A stressful time at both clubs for different reasons! Good luck mate

@ketchell Just saw your piece on the Whitecaps. Vancouver Whitecaps ST holder and lifelong Hearts fan here who travelled in the opposite direction on Tuesday for the final week. The squeakiest of squeaky bum times

Feel sick with nerves, and I have ZERO affiliation with Hearts

🏔️ Amazing week in Vancouver. Would like to thank Thomas Muller (and @MyVancouver) for showing me around 👨‍💻 Now working on a feature about #SaveTheCaps, for me the biggest story in MLS right now 🔜 For @FourFourTwo magazine

🎰 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗿: Community and capitalism go head-to-head in MLS as winner keeps the Whitecaps 🏔️ Vancouver Whitecaps has a winning team with over 50 years of history, Thomas Müller is the current captain, and they play in an incredible city hosting seven World Cup matches this summer. 🤔 So why could they be relocated to Las Vegas? 🏟️ They are one of the only MLS clubs that still rent their stadium, meaning match-day revenue is low and annual losses are high 🚫 Current owners have had the club listed for sale for 18 months, with no viable offer emerging 🃏 A formal bid to relocate the Whitecaps to Vegas landed with the league office on 30 April ✊ Fans have launched a movement #SaveTheCaps in a bid to keep the club in Vancouver 🔗 FFT spent four days in the city speaking to players, fans, media and the club CEO fourfourtwo.com/team/fear-and-…

This might be the worst VAR decision I’ve seen (and there’s a lot of competition). Extraordinary given the significance.

Price is an absolute tea-spitter

Eddie Howe’s Gattuso army

Tynecastle is rocking for this one! 🔥 #BBCFootball

Been to Millwall once (Playoff semi v Bradford 2016) only time I’ve seen horses on the pitch. Fans gagging to get on the grass as soon as it hit 80 mins. Someone got launched down the stairs five mins into the game for being in the wrong seat. I was in the players family section

“If you can study the inner workings of somebody like Marcelo Bielsa, why wouldn't I take that opportunity?! I spent months at Leeds reading Marcelo's work on tactics, culture. Team meetings, training - all videoed. Unbelievable work!" Michael Skubala interview @FourFourTwo 1/4

@jarmstrongbc @GlobalBC @CUrquhartGlobal Started from the bottom now we’re here bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Sources: FIFA wanted level 4 motorcade escort for its president while in Vancouver (ability to go through traffic lights). That’s 1 level below the pope - but on par with 🇺🇸 president - and higher than 🇨🇦 PM. The request was denied. #bcpoli @GlobalBC @CUrquhartGlobal

This Saturday’s game brings an end to one of the most thrilling, exciting and unpredictable title races in football history. Both ourselves and Rochdale have the chance to write our names in National League history. The National League is no longer a non-league competition. It is effectively a League 3, with fully professional clubs operating at a level equal to or higher than many of those in League 2. We both understand how important this game is to both clubs and supporters. We both pledge now that whatever happens tomorrow, we will both continue to fight for 3UP. Both clubs sit on over 100 points. One of us will have to fight once more in the National League Play-Offs. However, we both strongly believe that this shouldn’t have to be the case. We call on the National League, Football Regulator, EFL and Premier League to come together immediately and resolve this issue, so that we do not have to highlight this injustice year after year. For both sets of supporters attending the Crown Oil Arena this weekend, we say thank you for being with us all season. The passion you’ve shown for both clubs has been felt across the world. This game will be seen far and wide. We want to showcase this league for all its potential. Keep your support in the stands, not on the pitch, and let’s all protect the game we love. Thank you! Rochdale AFC & York City FC #YCFC🔴🔵

You Ask The Questions: Leave a question for Jonjo Shelvey in the comments, and we'll put it to the man himself!

@nufcrichys Keep it light, mate. Dan Barden did sign for Norwich, but as far as I can see, he is still alive and playing non-league

@ketchell Dan Barden at the bottom of the page, is he not the young lad who was at Norwich who died of cancer dead young?

⏪ My stepdad does some scouting. Ten years ago to the day I joined him at the Academy of Light for Sunderland vs Arsenal. Dan Ballard was playing full back (for Arsenal). A couple of other recognisable names there too…
