Had a few late withdrawals from the golf day this Sunday, 17th May. If anyone is interested please get in touch with David McKee. His details are on the poster below. Everything else running smoothly. Looking forward to a great day on Sunday.
Thanks as always to @amcleanbookies for being my main sponsor. They’ve supported pretty much every fundraiser I’ve been involved in for the last 15 years. Can’t thank Paul and his team enough
Big shout to the guys at The Scotsman’s Lounge and The Ping Group for their major contributions
These days are made so much easier with all this help. We have 37 different sponsors and we’re approaching 150 golfers playing on the day

Michael Carrick’s tougher than some of the headlines suggest. Tough enough to leave home at 15 for West Ham, move into digs with a bunch of Aussies, go out on loan to Swindon and Birmingham, fight his way up the professional ladder, argue with Daniel Levy in protracted departure from Spurs to Manchester United....
....take Roy Keane’s old 16 shirt at United, convert his penalty in the 2008 CL final shootout, deal with many challengers to his position at United, win 18 trophies, play 34 times for England in the era of Gerrard, Lampard etc (and should have played more, especially at 2006)....
....work his way out of a depression in 2009 (only 4 people knew what he was going through), play again after a heart scare in 2017, take interim charge in 2021 man-managing characters like Ronaldo, Fernandes and Rashford and leading them to two wins and a draw in his three games in charge.
This doesn't guarantee success in his current assignment. It's a really tough job given the imbalanced squad, the mood, the tensions between fan and board, and challenging imminent fixtures against City and Arsenal. But just because he's a polite, respectful individual, slightly "reserved" by his own admission, doesn’t mean Michael Carrick lacks resilience. And many of the experiences he's been through could help in man-management of United's players. Good luck to him. He's a sensible short-term caretaker solution while United look for a long-term manager in the summer.
Atrocious use of VAR. Clear red card for denial of goal-scoring opportunity, no effort to play the ball by Collins, yet four minutes wasted only for officials to avoid making the decision. Then subs. Poor penalty Fernandes, who has shown he can be affected by delays. #MUFC
No penalty but a ripped shirt for Dessers 🤔
Somehow no penalty for the pull on Dessers, as he wears the proof on his shirt...❌
