VAR just has a way of outdoing itself, year in and year out. The standard of refs across the board needs serious overhaul or incentive to get people who understand football to get involved.

Strong winds couldn't derail The Train this afternoon as we overcame Mortimer FC in difficult game conditions in Thames Valley PL Division One. A good game by the entire squad to secure our 3rd win of the season! ⚽️ Leon Mannion (2) ⚽️ Kaao Ka #HypeTrainFC #GrassrootsFootball

91 points in my Wildcard this week for #FPL #GW7. Arguably, my only good Gameweek besides #GW1. Currently just inside the top million (with 34 odd points separating me and the top 100k).

This is actually a half decent article, and Taylor comes across well on video (particularly highlighting the issue of abuse with parents at grassroots level). The problem remains about consistency of officiating. VAR is only as good as its users, and our ref standards are poor.

Haaland has as many bonus points (23) as Cunha has points. #FPL

Replace 'hydration' with 'advert' and that is really what is happening. 3 minutes is the perfect time for US broadcasters to air ads. This World Cup is going to be an all time stinker, already is.

Winning a ticket or two at the World Cup ballot is basically a quick route to bankruptcy. Astonishingly high prices, but being in America and the state of tickets (for example, WWE prices in the States are abysmal), no one is surprised by this clear cash grab attempt.

The Train ended 2025 with a good win on the road, with a 3-0 win against Caversham United FC seeing us move up to 2nd place in Thames Valley PL Division One! Luke Follington scored a hat-trick, including a lovely lobbed effort, and a penalty with the final kick. #HypeTrainFC

Game 200 is in the bag, with our final game of 2025 seeing the club reach another milestone. Here are some stats about the club since our formation in 2019! #HypeTrainFC #GrassrootsFootball

Liverpool has such a thread bare team. Barely any CB's in the squad, about to sell Robbo, and look so far off the pace. Their defending today, too, for the goals and game management was poor. Deserved win for Bournemouth. They looked more threatening to get the winner.

To accommodate a move for Saliba in #FPL for the Double Gameweek, I did the following: Transferred out both Thiaw and VVD (both whose returns have recently been poor), who have both scored, for Nunez (MCI), who was subbed off in the 59th minute with an assist. Fml
