This is absolutely disgraceful from the club owners, seeing Fran Kirby play for us before I ever decided to be a referee was what got me interested in the Womens game, to see them have to drop to Tier 5 is heartbreaking. I will remain a loyal royal until we are no more!!! Uurrzz!

Well we certainly didn’t deserve that, a win however is just that… a win!! Onto the qtrs 🎉🎉🎉⚽️⚽️⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Football delivering another beautiful moment for me… my son playing outfield for the first time and scoring twice to help his team win their home tournament. Very proud 🔥🔥⚽️⚽️

Cheers everyone…. ⚽️⚽️⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Come on England #ThreeLions #EnglandNetherlands

A night out with my wonderful wife to be at the Brewmaster High Halden FC presentation evening…. Her dad Barrie has helped run this club for 50 years now!!!!

It’s coming home. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Coming here has made me enjoy going to the gym again…. Light weights and swim before running the line tonight in pre season. Almost there with being ready for August fitness test.

I am disgusted by my country….disgusted by its politicians even more… enough is enough

Now this, this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done… and I’m goddamn proud of it. #progress #goals #hardworkpayingoff

Stupidly hot in the gym today… just urrrggghh

Not stopping just because I’m away for work… a nice and comfortable interval session along the River Tees. #training #goals #referee #FAWNL #referee

Nice hour long interval session, for 9.45km… left myself with 3.22km walk back to the hotel though 😂😂 Has to be done… #fawnl #referee #goals #betteryourself #changeofmindset

Feeling good about myself right now, match day one is next Wednesday. 💪⚽️ #referee #fawnl #training #progress

A really nice fixture for me tonight as It puts me in touch with my military past… 1 RSME Regt (Royal Engineers) v Rochester City

On Jan 1st I looked at myself and realised I needed to change, “I’m never going to get where I want if I don’t start working really hard towards it”. 8 months in and the progress has filled me with pride. I wouldnt have got here without the support of my friends and future wife.

My first competitive game back for season 24/25, absolutely buzzing to be back out there again after another injury. Today was Durham v Leicester City in the Women’s PGA. Two great assistants in Nathan and Rob…makes life so much easier. I’ve got the bug again 💪⚽️ #referee

Only went and passed the bloody fitness test….long comeback from injury completed!!! Steve Goldup Stuart Beadle Chandon Chapman Thankyou so much for the support!!!! Buzzing!!!!

17/09/22 4:48am, I have never been so honoured or privileged than to salute Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as she lay in state. I cried as I raised my hand and saluted, I am proud to have served in her name. This will remain as one of the greatest honours I’ve ever had.
