@RuaTrindade Pebbles, bless her.
A year later I was working in the same office as Sue Montgomery who gave dad the prize.

@Dylan10UTO @swfc We can't cope with a high press at any level. Put us under pressure and we fold. It is that simple.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@Finuto7 @swfc Accrington were playing their kids. Both sides gave 100% but it ended 0-4. Could easily gave been 1-7.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@TCJHWAWAW @swfc Accrington kids came to S6 and had twice as many shots, twice as many on target, and 50 per cent more touches in the box.

Only kids playing each other but honestly. Our players gave it 100% but were totally outclassed.

@hirsty9

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@FrankCastl44273 @swfc The kids gave 100% but that was not enough to be competitive against Accrington's kids.
Worrying for the coaches.
Where can you go from here?

@lidlmix There is a thing among certain upper mids that you don't prepare/present a main course twice to the same guests. Like wives being careful not to be seen twice in the same dress at important functions. R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@stash49 Well it's not an upset if either of them win.
I expect Emma's to go off favourite.

12.41 Market Rasen

Eastern Rock 7-4 or Ivor Bear 5-6?

Eastern Rock is napped by RP Ratings, Topspeed, Lambourn.

No-one has napped Ivor Bear 🐻.

ER Topspeed 109 RPR 116
IB Topspeed 79 RPR 114.

Surely Eastern Rock will start fav?

@jason1969segul @Harry05Derham If I was an owner with a horse in the yard (if) I would be disappointed.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

What @Harry05Derham should have said but didn't ...

It was that easy.

@radymskis @DubaiAce @nickluck @BHAHorseracing It has been brought to my attention that you've been giving info away for £€. The BHA doesn't permit that.
You are a valued member of staff.
If you do it again, I will have to move you on. I hope you understand the gravity of the situation. OK? Fine.

@cgullman @AlexO_ So many love a wrong un. Absolutely love a wrong un.
Listen to what Andrew Neil said today about his studio audience reaction when he gave Jimmy Savill a hard time in an interview. 100 per cent with Savill. 💯

@FOBRacing To stop the horse 🐎

@quevega @SimonHaigh1 Thatto Heath is where exactly?

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@VictoriaDarragh @murderballad44 @RacingKieren Jonathan Ross will have him on soonest. Exclusive.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@HoopyLoopyNaka @VictoriaDarragh @RacingKieren Our survey said: 0.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@RacingKieren If trying.

They may think a share of £12,000 isn't worth the effort.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@Trigger1410 Well, we are playing our kids v Accrington's kids and it isn't an easy watch at all.
Weaver, Fusire & Co have been outclassed for 70 mins and simply can't compete.
Slow, unfit but giving everything.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@JakeAlex92 Enjoy. Is cooking in your skill set 🍳?

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@SeanWilson13 @swfc A dire watch.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@PizzaJeff69 @swfc It is the fact that they care and their 100% on the pitch doesn't come close to what the Accrington kids are capable of.
They are light years behind Accrington. We might not care but Weaver, Fusire, Brown cannot put two passes together. Nearly 60mins & I think 0 on target.

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@tony_calvin I was on a press trip to Chantilly with Desmond S next to me at dinner.
Top trainers, jockeys and press all there. Maybe you, too?
He asked me to help pick wines 🍷.
I went for €50 a bottle. He said: Ascot are paying not you. He ordered 12 bottles @ €80+. 😳

[Patrick Weaver @WeaverRacing]

@NoJezza You would think Supreme Force will be placed...if he wins that's a bonus to an e.w. punter.
