@virginmedia For the last 72 hours the internet goes down around 930 and comes back up in the evening. What is going on? I have sent a DM and not getting a response

[Ferdi Rezvan @ferdi_rezvan]

@virginmedia Are there known issues in the se3 post code? Your service status page is also not working

[Ferdi Rezvan @ferdi_rezvan]

@virginmedia This is what I get when I use your status page

[Ferdi Rezvan @ferdi_rezvan]

@virginmedia Multiple random outages over 24 hours, and your virgin status page does not work properly. Should have stayed with BT in 2 years and had no outages. Regret joining virgin media , poor internet and poor technical support.

[Ferdi Rezvan @ferdi_rezvan]

@virginmedia If you had read my message you would have seen that I said it was not working. So please can you read and try again with your response.

Message from an Unknown Coach

Today I heard a comment made about me behind my back, I started to turn around and look but decided better of it, I know I make mistakes..

[Ferdi Rezvan @ferdi_rezvan]

@iD_Mobile_UK Once again your network lets its customers down.

Your track record is awful, cannot wait for my contact to finish.

A personal message written by a young player about their coach, who is also their Dad.

My Dad is a coach, not just a coach but MY coach, People say "bet it's great having your dad as the coach?" In some ways yes .. but most of the time no. So Let me explain.....

When you have your family on the sidelines cheering you on, supporting you.. I have too share the support I have from my Dad with all of you. .. infact sometimes what I do is missed.

When I hear comments from People on the sidelines criticising the coach or complaining about his decisions .. well that's my Dad .. he may be a coach but that's my Dad you're pulling a part and that takes the enjoyment out of my own game.

I see how those comments affect him at home away from the pitch, how he takes things to heart, how it can change a full days mood ( that's my time with my family your affecting .. your game has finished )

When you're all rolling out of bed and relaxing before a game.. I am up and out putting goals up or getting kit ready. When you rush off after the game I'm still there, Tired, Hungry and sometimes cold .. but things need putting away and clearing before I can get home.

Depending on the match is dependent on the mood of my Dad for the rest of the day .. You don't hear or see how much time he puts in at home, you don't hear or see how self critical he can be of his own skills, you don't see the worry he carries on his shoulders .. just by trying to do the right thing ( which will always be wrong to someone).

You don't see how tired he is from work but masks it just to make sure that your training session is fun.

Sometimes being the coaches son / daughter you feel under pressure to make sure you perform right ( after all you're the coaches son / daughter so it's expected from others that you do everything right). ( well that's how it feels to me)

My grassroots journey is one that I share with many others .. when sometimes I wonder what it must feel like to have someone there supporting you and only you.. watching you and only you... praising you and only you.. no stress, no worry just pure enjoyment of the game then go home.

I am proud of my Dad and wouldn't change what he does.

He is a role model to me and he gives it his everything and all. I Just want others to stop a moment and think, it's not all that it's cut out to be.. being the coaches Son / Daughter .. you only see the training and the game .. I see it and live it every single day.

My Dad is a volunteer ( a very good one )and so much is sacrificed for him to be able to do this.

Please don't judge the coaches Son/Daughter .

We don't "Get Everything" we "Give Everything"

Happy Father's Day Dad ❤️

@dizzy_thinks @NHSuk I am not sure if I am saddened that this happened to you or saddened that I don't know about the funeral arrangements

[Grassroots @Teamgrassroots_]

Before you send a negative text/email to your coach, take a pause and consider the following - They're volunteers not employees, they don't have to do what they're doing and for most of them they do it because it's fun. Do you know what is going on in their life? their work, their family? They already know they could improve on their coaching and their admin but struggle with time due to work and family commitments.

They are basically the ones that stepped forward when the team needed help. Sometimes a well intentioned message can be received as the last straw, remember they don't have to do what they're doing and if they leave after this message is there anyone else that will do what they do? Maybe, or maybe not.

Your coach is unlikely to have the knowledge of Ferguson, the tactical competence of Pep. They're also doing everything they do to keep things running around their already hectic life, their kids, their job and sometimes can forget things or make honest mistakes.

Now back to that text, how about you start it with Hey Coach, thanks for what you do, is there anything I can help with.....
