This kind of message from a player I used to coach at a previous club is worth more than any points or trophies to me. People and their overall development has always been the heart of everything we do. So grateful to have the opportunity to have an impact ๐๐พ #football#people
Lorraine and Francesca Catchpole became the first mother-daughter duo to officiate together in a professional match when Blackburn Rovers faced Birmingham City in the #BarclaysWC. ๐โฝ
While many are celebrating today with a Sunday roast, theyโre โ where else? โ out on the pitch, doing what they love! ๐
They spoke to The Times about their journey, sharing how refereeing has built their confidence, leadership, and resilience โ both on and off the pitch.
Hereโs to all the football mums making an impact in the game. Happy Motherโs Day! ๐โฝ
@nomadpossum @dr_feta_cheese @Wardsandra4Ward No smoke or fire on this side of the mountain, I can see the aircrafts are working on the far side now. Credit where it's due, these firefighters have been incredible
@Wardsandra4Ward@nomadpossum @dr_feta_cheese Honestly, we've called the embassy for advice and got nothing, nothing from the holiday package suppliers yet either but I'm sure we'll be ok
@nomadpossum @dr_feta_cheese @Wardsandra4Ward I last saw it at 5 and thought...oh jeez that's close but was reassured by a local I ended up feeding a cat with that it was further away than it looked. I can hear aircraft this morning so will go see ๐
@nomadpossum @dr_feta_cheese @Wardsandra4Ward Good morning all, no we stayed out after speaking to a lot of locals. I considered a hotel in Athens at one point but was told that the wind is actually blowing all the fire and smoke there. I set my alarm to wake up every 2 hours to assess how much closer the fire was getting
@nomadpossum@Wardsandra4Ward @dr_feta_cheese We're in nea makri by the sea and everyone seems to be telling us it's safe here so trying to decide when to evaluate. We can see the fire from our hotel
So after having a season off Saturday football to get my head back on track in life, I have decided to start playing again and try and win some trophies at any level before I retire. So anyone wanting a centre back/midfielder who wins nearly every header for next season.
