Yes maybe but she was so old and frail I just didn't feel right to do so. She died a few weeks later and her daughter brought round a bag of books and toys she had bought for my son ready for Christmas.

One of my old neighbours, who was 97 at the time asked me if I was the little coloured boys Mum, before I could answer she followed it up with what a delightful, happy and polite little boy he was! He was about 2. Never corrected her or took offence.
Have to admit I’m not overly bothered by that defeat. Luton giving everything to give themselves a chance to stay up were never going to be a pushover. I hope they do stay up. Nice club, nice fans and a superb coach.
@UEFA
No Champions League or Europa League spot for them. No participation in domestic cups. No income from domestic FAs. When they realise they are not as special as they think & want to return to their domestic leagues make them start at the bottom & work their way back up.

She was a sweet old lady, Lilian. After that day she always used his name. They adored each other. She'd watch for him to come out & play in the garden & potter down on her frame to say hello, I think it as the highlight of her day!!
@MXDELINE_
My response to my lad coming out was "yes I know son, it changes nothing, now where is my coffee?" He just grinned and said kettles on & that was it! I was pleased he had finally told me because I could then support him & he was relieved that Mum still loved him!

Turned out she was buying him a small gift every week out of her pension money, a book, a toy car, little bags of sweets & putting them all away. Really made me tear up to be honest. She completely ignored all the other kids who she said were tearaways & raggamuffins!
So much more needs to be done to address mental health issues, especially in young men. We need to teach our young that it's ok to not be ok & they are not being a burden if they seek our help & we have to learn to really be there when asked to be...

Perspective time. Today we lost at home. I’d usually share my disgust with the lad and his mum, who have sat behind me for the last 5 seasons. Today he wasn’t there. Only his shirt. On Wednesday, Greg took his own life. 😢

Bless that little boy. Heartbreaking to watch. He will never fully heal. Respect to the man at the front carrying his father who was also trying to comfort him, that was no easy task.

Personally I feel this decision is showing zero support to the LGBTQ+ community in Russia. Why should they lose out? I don't see this is making a stand for the LBGTQ+ community, quite the opposite actually because you are deliberately excluding part of that community.

- what a great game of football that was. 2 teams going all out to play the game, no bad behaviour but 100% effort to just play. Well done to both teams for the entertainment. Blackpool fans were absolutely superb - non stop noise. 👏👏
@jimfrevola
Lots being said about today but one thing I've not seen mentioned yet is that after Tom Lockyer had been stretchered off someone went around & checked on all the ballboys/girls asking if they were ok. That was fantastic to see. Well done to whoever made that call.
@SimplyHao
Thank you for the clarity - this was my initial reaction to the letter from EA. I do not agree with their decision and your thread has backed up that for me personally.

Knock on my door earlier. I go to answer, no-one there but there is a bag hanging on the handle with some basic groceries from the Imam of the local mosque who knows I am disabled & a note to call him if I need anything. I'm not muslim. Not the 1st time he's done this.

Wow! This poor little lad. This will be more traumatic than getting covid-19. This is the reality - this is why we must stay home for now and do our part to not spread this virus. Get well soon little man.
In Ukraine, this is how a child was loaded up in the ambulance and taken to the hospital after he was confirmed to have COVID-19 💔
This is not a scene out of a horror movie, this is real life.
And people here are taking it as a joke?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

This seems to have become so much more prevalent recently. Along with the Kosovo is Serbia banners I seem to have seen a hundred times or more in the last couple of months. Makes me sick every time I hear or see it.

Exactly. Kids can sit in a classroom all day with 29 of their peers, mill around the playground with 100's of others at break times but can't then have them round for tea after school - there's a logic there somewhere I'm sure! 🙄

That is why it is such an excellent build! None of us could understand how one of the devs had come up with it & now we know they didn't! At least we can all stop worrying there is a rogue dev hidden away somewhere!

As an ex defence brief I think you've summed it up well. Had times of being thrown (literally) into an interview room & locked in for my safety although Catford Custody would throw me into the tea room and expect a tray of tea & coffee when they let me out! They'd get one always!

1/2 As a mere member of the public I couldn't care less if he looked like a sieve by the time the police stop shooting - they neutralised a threat to safety. Their bravery in getting that close to a man in a suicide vest they had no way of knowing was fake is humbling, knowing..
We're 12th, game in hand, 9 points better off than this time last year, Iraola ball is way more exciting & entertaining than what we had this time last year. Just imagine where we could be if we also get 9 more points than last year in the 2nd half of the season! Happy New Year🍒
Just a different perspective on the first 3:
- Bournemouth had never won at Old Trafford, until Andoni Iraola
- Bournemouth had never scored 3 goals at Old Trafford, until Andoni Iraola
- Bournemouth had never kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford, until Andoni Iraola

Records broken so far this season -
- Bournemouth had never won at Old Trafford, Until Erik Ten Hag
- Bournemouth had never scored 3 goals at Old Trafford, until Erik Ten Hag
- Bournemouth had never kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford, until Erik Ten Hag

Happy 21st birthday to this not so little legend! Couldn't be more proud of the amazing young man that he has grown into. Polite & respectful, well so my neighbours tell me, gentle, caring but his room is a pit! Happy birthday son, love you so much 🥰🥰🥰

Haha!! Nearly wet myself laughing when the cop calmly stepped back & opened the back door of his car then boom! Hope someone took the cute pup to the vets for a check over though...
There will always be a home in Bournemouth for you

Good Luck to you, Laura & your girls for your future. Club legend but also and even more importantly one of the most wonderful people you could meet. Big hugs from me and Lewis xx
@FABSITEUK
There are no consequences. My son commented recently on me still being quite strict with him even at 19 - I showed him the news and said that's why son. Told hi he was awesome & made me proud because of his manners/respectfulness, good morals etc

As a responsible parent it terrifies me that people like you are in a position to mentor children/teens. No wonder knife crime/disrespect for society in general is on the increase with 'mentors' like you about.

I think the mental health issues started when all of the big pysch hospitals were shut down, mid 90's, I think it was. They weren't the nicest of places granted but they also provided a good emergency MH service. The services they provided was never replaced.
Had the pleasure of briefly working with this beautiful man in 1996. Such a lovely and genuine person. Thoughts with his family and loved ones. RIP Terry Venables

@UEFA
Additionally if
@UEFA
refuse to recognise it as an official league then no UEFA referees to officiate the games. They can pay to train their own referees & for their match day expenses/wages etc as well.
@CharIieBennett
Longer than 22 years - that's just as an adult. He was in the academy from age 10, worked his way up through the youth and then reserves so nearer to 30 years in total in some capacity!
@FirmedFeminist
@UEFA
Might take away the excitement for some but not everyone worships these 12 clubs. More will enjoy watching other clubs emerging and becoming the new big clubs and more competitiveness.
@refsupportuk
@SussexCountyFA
The coaches should face legal action from the police, along with a ban from ever working again in youth football. They have failed abysmally in their duty of care in safeguarding a minor. Hope the young referee is receiving the support he needs.
Fans calling referee István Kovács over for a photo & autographs as he came out for the 2nd half of Mioveni v FCB. Very sweet moment & clearly appreciated by István. Lovely to see such a big smile on his face as well!
