@samuelluckhurst So are Baleba and Ugarte, pretty sure neither of them will be playing either. Your point is?

[Andrew Brown-Allan @ABA130426]

@GuyCharnock You’ll love it, Guy. Genuinely one of the most enjoyable courses I’ve ever played. World-class fish & chips 20mins up the road, too.

Well done @AerLingus and @manairport for losing my golf clubs (and more) that I saw being loaded onto my plane in Dublin this morning, but then have disappeared on arrival in Manchester. Reinforcing its reputation for being one of the worst international airports globally.

@FabrizioRomano @lauriewhitwell Every single match on TV you see close-ups of players saying this or worse straight to the referee, so why don’t they face the same punishment? Doesn’t make it OK for players to dish it out, but once again there’s no consistency in applying the rules of the game, or consequence.

Why today’s FA Cup result means so much more…

[Macclesfield FC @thesilkmen]

At this precise moment, our team should be walking out onto the pitch to the deafening noise of the Silkmen supporters before hearing the Referee’s first whistle.

There will instead, be a pause.

No game. No scoreline. Just reflection.

Ethan McLeod was not just our teammate, he was a wonderful human being and someone who inspired us all, with the weight of his indescribable loss remaining surreal in the extreme. 

Football teaches us how to move tactically, how to react, and how to keep going when faced with adversity for the benefit of everyone associated with the team. 

But today, it teaches us something infinitely more important: how to stand still together.

Ethan passionately wore our badge with pride. He trained with purpose, played with heart, and carried himself with a quiet strength that didn’t need to be loud to be felt. 

Whether it was in the dressing room, on the training pitch, or under the floodlights, Ethan effortlessly gave every ounce of his being for the game he loved and the devoted people around him.

At this poignant time, we remember Ethan not only for his undeniable talent, but for the memories he created - so many of which didn’t make the highlights, yet will live in the hearts and minds of all those who loved him so unconditionally forevermore.

We remember all the laughter, Ethan’s infectious smile, and the unspoken understanding that binds our entire Club together.

Our beloved Club is built on that togetherness and the devastating sense of loss that we all are feeling reminds us just how deep those bonds run.

Today, there is no opposition, no points to play for. 

What there is an abundance of however, is a deeply held gratitude for having known Ethan, and for having been able to share a short part of his journey with him. 

There is heartbreak, and there is love - from teammates, staff, supporters, and everyone whose life Ethan touched so evocatively.

Ethan’s story doesn’t end here though.

It lives on in the values he embodied, in the wonderful memories he did so much to create, and in the way he made all those around him strive to be the best version of themselves. 

In the fullness of time, Ethan’s legacy will help shape who we are and who we become. It will make us stronger and more determined to honour him not just with words, but in everything we do.

Because no matter how our journey evolves, Ethan will be right there beside us - guiding us every step of the way.

Ethan - we know you’re watching over us now, and will truly never leave us.

We will be devoted to you for all eternity.

You will forever be a Silkman.

@DPWTQSchool @MrAndrewCotter @iaincartergolf @PepperellEddie - get in Eddie!!! Can’t wait for the next Chipping Forecast pod. Deserves an emergency Chipolata, surely??!

🗣️Manchester United require last-minute penalty to beat newly-promoted Burnley.

🗣️Liverpool dig deep to earn deserved last-minute victory against dogged Burnley outfit.

@MMcEwanGolf I’ll be honest, as someone brought up in Scarborough I was sceptical. But, having eaten there tonight, @MMcEwanGolf you’re absolutely right. World-class.

@footballontnt When is the open top bus parade?

[Andrew Brown-Allan @ABA130426]

@MMcEwanGolf My Sky box keeps crashing during the golf, too 🤔

2024 was a great year for me, personally. But for all of you that see out the year with fireworks at 6.30pm as your key to celebration, I hope your 2025 is filled with misery, or at least enough creativity to have fun without loud bangs and flashing lights. #thinkoftheanimals

[Andrew Brown-Allan @ABA130426]

@stephenhunter21 Squeeze are ace. Everton, well not so much! Hope all is good with you Steve, enjoy.

@GolfMagic Glad to be of assistance 😉

[Andrew Brown-Allan @ABA130426]

@GolfMagic Er, isn’t it two weeks? I know it’s easy to get giddy about it, but have a quiet moment and take a deep breath!

I mean, really?

The fact Klopp is running out of energy after a decade is understandable but also goes to show the magnitude of Fergie’s tenure. To remain at the top of any sport for quarter of a century is absolutely incredible.
