Imagine requesting a meeting with Howard Webb to complain about the standard of officials, and then losing 8-0 in your next game. Perhaps that time with Howard would’ve been better spent with his team? 🤔🤯

Agree wholeheartedly with this. Mourinho & Roma were a disgrace last night, and clearly breed a culture where this behaviour is not just tolerated, but more worryingly, encouraged.

Can’t believe we’ve made it to 30 episodes! The penultimate episode of season 1 🤯🔈👌🏻
Brilliant to be able to present the Under 15 winners, Brixworth Juniors, with their trophies this evening!
Also lovely gesture from Kingsthorpe Jets to do a guard of honour for the girls on the way to collect their trophy.

As an admin on the @NorthantsFA account, I’ve literally spent all day, on the day of my daughters 3rd birthday party, deleting tweets from morons like this.
Why do we hate refs so much?
Players make mistakes too you know.
I’m sick to death of this.
Tough, but very rewarding, enjoying and unforgettable few weeks 🌼❤️👨👩👧
Special shout out to @luketscott for dragging me round the marathon & then under a week later completing an ultramarathon in under 24 hours 🤯
And then 48 hours after being dragged around Peppa Pig World for Lily’s 3rd birthday 🥳🐷🌍

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a referee at a World Cup? This episode was so good to record, and gave some great insight to refereeing at the top level!
Always a highlight of the season to plan and deliver this evening celebrating the success of those officials selected for County Cup finals by the County Cup Committee! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ahhhh Boris. My parents didn’t want to see their granddaughter this Christmas anyway. #Aylesbury #Tier4
Back to work tomorrow. New role, new challenges and exciting times. It’s been a tough 4 months off, but valuable time spent with little Lily. So lucky to have spent so much time with her, but equally happy to be back working in the world of football.

With the weather ruining our outdoor practical development session, an impromptu game of “Referee bingo” with the England game is being played to make the referees in the room focus on various different elements of refereeing in a live match environment. #ImproviseAdaptOvercome

Proud to present this award this evening to @nfacore_academy graduate, Dan Wood, who is a referee with great potential and demonstrates everything a young match official should do to succeed. He has a bright future ahead.

On Sunday, I will be running the #LondonLandmarks half marathon with #TeamDaisy to raise money for #Tommys, the #baby Charity. We are running in memory of Daisy, who lived for an hour and a half before passing away peacefully in her parents arms. bit.ly/2W5P85c #Charity
