A difficult decision to make but one that we have had to make due to the ever increasing amount of abuse and misconduct our members face.

Referees will make mistakes but never deserve abuse.

We hope that we won’t need to take any further action in the future.

Wonderful job @RCTCouncil and @WelshLabour are doing here in Rhondda Cynon Taff. Some of the most deprived areas in Wales within this County and they continue to take, take, take! Appalling! If only people will open their eyes during the next local elections🙏🏼 #labourout

Fantastic result for @NelsonBelles U14's up in mid Wales today I'm the Cup 👌. Let's hope neutral appointed refs are used in the Semi Final to avoid the issues encountered today. Belles are very strong, but play fair 😉. @WRU_Community @WRUWomenSupport #WontStopThem #Belles

A few days ago, the @WelshRugbyUnion took the shameful decision to move the final of Girls U16 "ROAD TO PRINCIPALITY" Cup final, from @principalitysta to Ystrad COE as part of their penny pinching scheme.Please sign and share this petition https://t.co/R5L5WNzbsZ @WRU_Community

Another great performance by @NelsonBelles, demolishing a spirited @MinersHub, under Friday Night lights. Belles were dominant in all areas of the pitch, score some 👌 tries. Well done girls, onto the next we go 💪💪. @AllWalesSport @DragonsHUBs @WRUWomenSupport @WRU_Community

Another good result for @NelsonBelles in a local derby against @RFCMerthyr tonight. Game called just into 2nd half after girls hit 50 point gap 😉. #HerStory #NelsonBelles @DragonsHUBs @dragonsrfc @WRUWomenSupport @WRU_Community

@WRU_Community @AshleighJones12 pls can you advise who within @wru can help sort out the farcical situation with trying to get a junior player (female) registered for this upcoming season on Game Locker? My daughters club from 2 years ago is showing, & nobody can clear it?

[Nick Thorne @NickT1984]

@CeriCart4 @tfwrail After years of using @transport_wales 💩💩💩 service @CeriCart4, the only thing they are reliable for is letting you and other passengers down. Use public transport they say... for as long as we have got this 💩 show, nothing will change. Same old excuses, nothing changes.

Achraf Hakimi's wife filed for divorce from the PSG player after 3 years of marriage and demanded half of all the footballer's properties.

Unfortunately for her and much to her great surprise, she found out that there is no fortune, because the court informed her that her multi-millionaire husband owns nothing, as all his properties are registered in HIS MOTHER’S name.

Achraf Hakimi earns €1 million a month with PSG and deposits all the money in his mother’s account. Houses, land, cars, jewelry, clothes, and everything Hakimi buys in his mother's name.

Well played. 👏👏👏

[Nick Thorne @NickT1984]

@JdBowns91 @jshapleyjones It's the same in Football too, easy target goalies/keepers to blame. Let's not forget there is a team infront of them to get past first.

[Nick Thorne @NickT1984]

@NoelMooney13, imagine having a community club @FC_Cwmaman, who have spent thousands developing their ground to meet a preset criteria, Win a league and not be allowed to be promoted because of an "admin error". What kind of 🦕 would run an organisation like that? @FAWales #Joke

[Nick Thorne @NickT1984]

Well done boys, had to dig deep on times, but got the job done 👏👏👏

@NoelMooney13 @realpetetwm @Cymru @NoelMooney13 not withstanding this incident alone, when are the @FAWales going to start giving out MEANINGFUL bans to individuals that fit their offence? FAW are years behind @WRU_Community disciplinary department for size and severity of bans they hand out to offenders!

[Nick Thorne @NickT1984]

My daughters @NelsonBelles U14's are trying to raise funds for a new team kit. They are running a 'Spot the ball' style competition, with the winner receiving 20% of all monies collected.

@scanthered @channel5_tv Absolutely, she is an absolutely vile women. Richard was so strong re-telling his story. Just another reminder that nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors....... and the person people see in public, aren't always the person they are in private.......

[Nick Thorne @NickT1984]

#mywifemyabuser was a very hard watch 😥. The stories you see on social media/TV, it is always male on female. Well done @channel5_tv on highlighting that it's just as likely to be female on male too!! Richard is one very tough man & I hope he finds happiness & love in his life.

Warning: Some viewers may find the following video distressing.

Desperate to keep his family together, Richard Spencer tried everything before reluctantly starting to keep evidence of his abusive wife’s behaviour.

All abuse deniers should check this out...Men are abused every day....Johnny Depp has opened the door for men....Abuse has no gender, no age, no status. Abuse doesn't stop at children, men or women. Physical strength doesn't always mean you're superior. Abuse can break anyone
