@pnm1979 We couldn't win a raffle.

@gazbod First game I took my son to. He was in the programme, on the big screen and I feel it gave him a real taste of what it was to be a palace fan at the time 😂 Last week, I gave up my ticket for him to go to Wembley. Felt I owed him for this game 😁

@DebbieYeates1 @palacepod I need one to strut around Eastbourne!

@PaghamFCNews @TheSCFL @BogObserver @V2RadioSussex That's a beautifully ironic post, you know. The words 'Waterlogged pitch', followed by tagging BogObserver. Comedic genius, admin. Bravo!

[Ben Smith @benjdsmith]

Very happy with that! Dust off the flags!

[Ben Smith @benjdsmith]

It's a 2nd yellow. Stupid place to make that tackle.

Is Mateta just a Temu Benteke?

@richmarsh1975 @AllStarsSussex @H_Hawks_FC Thanks! They never let their heads drop either and carried on to the end. Kudos to them.

[Ben Smith @benjdsmith]

It was a pleasure to referee at @AllStarsSussex today in the County Cup vs @H_Hawks_FC. Both sets of players, coaches and parents were immensely respectful. I didn't hear one 'reeefff' from anywhere. Got on and played to the whistle. Well done to all of you!

@HighwaysSEAST Is that not J5 (Sevenoaks) and J6 (Godstone). I wish the M25 went to Eastbourne....

[Ben Smith @benjdsmith]

Must still be tired. Nearly squeezed Shockwaves on my toothbrush. At least my teeth would have been firmly held.

Great cup game this morning between @UGrasshoppers81 U11 Girls and @wuyfc Under 12's. Probably the most enjoyable game I've reffed in two seasons. Nothing but respect from both sets of coaches, players and parents. A credit to your leagues and @SussexCountyFA.

[Ben Smith @benjdsmith]

So the eldest, at 14, did his fifth qualifying game this morning and has joined the old man in the @SussexCountyFA match officials club. Nervous for him? Yep. Proud of him? Sure as hell I am! #lovethewhistle #retirementfund

@refsupportuk Odd. Must've missed the goal blame or you even mentioning the decision itself, let alone defending it. I think it was a very poor decision personally. I also thought this was a tweet highlighting a poor goal design. Just me?

Fantastic weekend at the @hujfc Football Tournament. Fantastically well behaved teams, didnt have one bit of grief. Great teams, great weekend, and rocking the lobster referee look. My body isn't thanking me though! Well done to all the organisers, volunteers and players!
