Having a break from umpiring is doing me the world of good! Less stress, more time with Jude (and Zoe). Wasn't like I was that good anyway 😏! Might make it properly permanent 😊

Definitely an issue with Rainbow Six Siege servers at the moment. Since 2024 has began its been extremely difficult to connect to a game 🙈🙈 Ubisoft Support #RainbowSixSiege #frustrating

Shout out to all those players criticising umpires and officials in sport. You want better quality officiating but you are driving away those good ones with all the abuse and criticism. Respect the officials or watch the game rather than participate!

So one club welcomed me back from my break, were very polite and welcoming, didn't question decisions, had a laugh about mistakes made. The other team, abused and criticised every decision made. I gave it a second go but this umpiring really isn't for me anymore, peace out 👊

Why do officials up and down the country, majority without being paid. Volunteering their free time, away from family to help with the chosen sport they love but to be abused and heavily criticised. Should be a zero tolerance 🙄

Another night of insomnia 😑. 18 months and counting for the NHS to sort my nose out so I can actually sleep at night time. No wonder people have no sympathy for the NHS anymore! 😡😡

Isn't modern sport boring with Man City/Max Verstappen/Novak Djokavic winning time and time again 🙄

Since 1700 I've been having such a fun time with my family (just clicked to see the score 🤣), why bother putting yourself through awful England performances year after year. ENGLAND WILL NEVER WIN A MAJOR TOURNAMENT IN MY LIFETIME 👌

Great evening out with Mitchell Blakemore . He taught me how to umpire. I taught him how to have a laugh whilst umpiring. Plenty of shit umpire chat. What Summer League is meant to be in my opinion.

T-Rex arms strikes again 🙈

Hearing a fellow umpire have to complain about the conduct of teams during a summer league. Shocking. What hope does the sport of hockey have? Football is taking massive improvements in player discipline towards officials. Hockey is lagging behind. #respectofficialsordontplay

How much of spoilt brat is Max Verstappen 🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣 and now the Sky Sports red button isn't working. Guess it saved me watching that Blackpool FC shite! Doing my mental health a favour 👌🤣

My god Blackpool FC are awful. Struggling against 10 men. Going to be a long season. AGAIN 😡

Not sure what's more useful, tits on a fish, chocolate teapot, condom machine at the Vatican or Blackpool FC in the final third of a football pitch 🤔

I went for a wee and we scored a goal 🤣🤣

How Critchley has still got a job today ill not quite understand! Second bite of the cherry at the job, failed last season, started poorly so far this season! Sack early and start fresh while we can! Toxic in the stands yesterday! Blackpool FC #CritchleyOut

Critchley has finally gone 🙌

Does Jake Beesely turn up to training late every day or something? 🤣🤣

I'll weigh in, regardless of the fact. Trossard should have been sent off, Doku given a booking doesn't change the course of the game and Stones goal is legimate. (Its a minimum added on time). The score of the game doesn't change. Stop moaning!
