@GFTSLtd Great to see the Government considering guaranteed apprenticeships for all ages 16 - 25. Whilst there is a significant fall in apprenticeship starts due to the pandemic. I cannot understand the logic for removing all frameworks by the 31st July.

Now ready for a beer or two and then onward travel to inverness to enjoy the experience of the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness

@jasonbrian90 Not this weekend could with something next week though

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

No pre-season game today so a nice 4km run then 7 km row finished off with a 10km bike all completed in 66mins not quite the same as being in the middle picking up some match practice.#rugbyseason

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

Nice quiet start to the weekend 3km run 7km row and 20km cycle a little more weight off I readiness for the rugby season #fitness

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

Well a win is win no matter how it comes. We are certainly not world beaters. We have to create more chances and put teams under pressure

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

Have actually created a scoring opportunity in 105 mins I don't believe we have forced a save from the Columbian goalkeeper

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

Play to the whistle no point stopping in expectation

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

The referee is engaging in far too much conversation from the penalty. Time for another yellow card #takecontrolref

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

Really not sure how a head butt under the chin is a yellow card inside the penalty area. Surely a VAR review and penalty.#poordecision

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

England too happy to give away penalties another week of too many penalties. We need to learn and accept the fact that we can't keep giving away penalties. Another disappointing afternoon's viewing.
Jones needs a very quick fix.#poorchoices

A hero in our midst! Yesterday, a GFTS staff member identified and notified authorities resulting in the safe return of a missing person, well done! https://t.co/hc07WyZ88a

Honesty for what it's worth always ends up been thrown back at you. Maybe some people should look at themselves and question their own morals and integrity before finding something to criticise. #wrongdecision

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

Not much visible road left. A challenging drive more like Rally Sweden. However, we are in the offices and working #snowdays

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

No point travelling to the office today looks like a day of working from home.#quietday

An interesting evening drive home an unwelcome return of winter #snow

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

Great end to my day. Locked in the car park minus a padlock key. Looks like more work to be done until the key arrives #waiting

[Laurence Pearson @LozPearson]

Another major hurdle overcome on the road to recovery first pre season game refereed without issue still things to work on #positivity
