Yesterday we lost my son Adam, who passed away after playing football, the sport he loved. We love him so much and the loss is devastating. He will always be with us and never forgotten.

@ShaunLintern Dangers of chronic N2O exposure known for decades. Ventilation Standards for new and old hospital facilities laid out in Hospital Technical Memorandum 03-01 and 03-02. Hospitals MUST have a Ventilatory Safety Group which reports to board. These cases shouldn’t be happening.

@GasmanCOTN Call it out for what it is. Wycombe ( and other small clubs ) not welcome in championship as don’t generate cash or big sky audiences. Decisions constantly against them. Big clubs with big followings find difficult to be promoted as cash cows for rest of championship

@HHWHITE1980 Doesn’t matter how I’d do it. I’m not the manager. I don’t pick the team. Don’t run the training or the patterns of play. What I can say is there doesn’t look like there’s a strategy to deal with a team who sits deep and doubles up on wingers and can deal with crosses
