🏟 Act wisely and choose well. I no longer overanalyze every decision; instead, I trust that, with the clarity and strength I possess at this moment, I am doing my utmost.
📟Cleaning the wardrobe Gave away old clothes“I’m scared, but I have to go—he said if I don’t, something terrible will happen to Daddy. I’ll come back, I promise. Please, if I don’t, tell Daddy I love him more than the stars.”
I’ve been a Pompey fan, my whole life so it gives me no pleasure in saying this
You are only now reacting because people were unhappy with how you dealt with it and it’s gone viral online
If you actually cared about safeguarding your Stewards, who were clearly informed by many people around them including the victim, of the assault, wouldn’t have ejected the child and his entire family!
It also wouldn’t have taken long for officials at the game, including Pompey officials to watch the replays that were being broadcast around the world live of the incident
It was clear as day that the player assaulted the child, there is no speculation he touched the boy which is assault. There is no excuse.
I’m glad to hear the police are involved hopefully this means the parents reported it and want action!
And if the boy or parents are reading this, R v Beckford is case law for Self defence.
The club‘s number one Duty should be the safety and welfare of all fans and staff inside the stadium the knee-jerk reaction to eject victims is a disgrace
The #Pompey family were left devastated by the news that club legend Alan Knight had passed away earlier this week.
Saturday's match at Fratton Park gives us all a chance to pay tribute to someone who served the club with distinction for more than 50 years.
At the request of Alan’s family, a minute’s silence will be observed just prior to kick-off and we would respectfully ask that all supporters are in their seats by 2.55pm.

Portsmouth Football Club are devastated to announce the passing of Alan Knight at the age of 65, surrounded by his close family.
The Pompey legend – who served the club as a goalkeeper, coach and ambassador – passed away this morning following a battle with prostate cancer.
He will be sadly missed by the Fratton faithful, teammates and all of us at the club who knew and loved him.
Rest in peace, Knightsie. 💙

To the London black cab driver who found me bloodied in the chaos of central London and drove me all the way to Reading: thank you.
Thank you for cleaning my face. For the sugary tea at the BP garage. For delivering me safely to my friend's front door and refusing to charge me a single penny.
In the trauma of that day, I never asked your name. I don’t think I even thanked you properly, and I am so sorry for that. But I hope you know that I remember you every single year.
You were a hero when London needed one most.

Something that might have slipped under your radar. Sir Gareth Southgate turned down any sort of media work and punditry during the World Cup to ensure that there were no distractions or ‘media troublemaking’ for Thomas Tuchel and the England team throughout the tournament. He put the team’s interests above his own, which is what we’ve all come to expect from this thoroughly decent human being.
However far we now go in the USA, never forget who laid the foundations - someone who even after his exit is doing all that he can to help.
Just going to leave this here.
Before Southgate:
1984: Did not qualify
1986: Quarter-finals
1988: Group stage, lost every game
1990: Semi-final
1992: Group stage
1994: Did not qualify
1996: Semi-final
1998: Last 16
2000: Group stage
2002: Quarter-finals
2004: Quarter-finals
2006: Quarter-finals
2008: Did not qualify
2010: Last 16
2012: Quarter-finals
2014: Group stage
2016: Last 16
Under Southgate:
2018: Semi-final
2020: Final
2022: Quarter-finals
2024: Final
Whatever people thought of the football, the record speaks for itself.
