Days like today is why I enjoy refereeing. The most bizarre red card I’ll ever produce in my life, but credit to both
@BurnhamRamFC
and
@ClaptonCFC
for the fantastic spirit in which you played the game. Both teams made the game enjoyable and I hope to see you guys soon
Not everyone has high standards for themselves. Refereeing is a lonely job, but I will always have high aspirations. Love me or hate me, your energy is my fuel to be better. Thank you 🙏🏾
Just to clarify, yes I am black, Jamaican born, raised in London. My skin colour plays a massive role in my life, and am proud to be black. NO ONE can take that away from me. Proud of who I am!
@TheRefStop
I am so grateful for your kind words and message. Thank you for to Jamie, Dale and the rest of the team for this. I feel the love! We are one family, and whilst it was an awful thing, we will be better together 💪🏾
Another fitness test for
@AmateurFA
officials! Congratulations to those who passed! For those that didn’t or have their test booked in be sure to keep up the training!
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I’d come off a game injured! Tonight I have! Now I have to remain focused and train harder than I ever have! Reset the mind and focus!
Great having

I stand united with all those who have or are currently suffering from racial abuse. I migrated to the UK and I am proud to be black. As a referee, coach or player racism is not acceptable in society. Don’t stand by and watch racism

Red card for Burnham’s keeper in bizarre fashion - messed up the goal kick by tapping it 2 yards in front of him, as the Clapton CFC was about to get to the loose ball, keeper picks up.
Last week I walked off the pitch disappointed with myself, not getting the key decision right, completely felt I was not on it, today, I feel good, kmi was spot on and feel good for the rest off the day. Who’d wanna be a referee
With so many matches that have been called off by referees after pitch inspections, surprised so many clubs are blaming referees. Didn’t know we control the weather? 🧐🤔
Why the hell does this misogynistic, racist, sexist, ex footballer keep popping up on my TL. I won’t even name his as he does not deserve airtime. An absolute disgrace of a man. Football is for all, not just one gender!
Credit where credit’s due and a big well done to Referee
@Dwayne_Uylett
and his team for keeping the game flowing on a bumpy surface which at times led to some heavy tackles which were well and fairly dealt with by the officials👏👍
What a wonderful guy Jack was. So many conversations I’ve had with him over the years and would always make time for everybody. Jack will be missed. A true
@StMargaretsbury
legend. My condolences to his family and friends and all at the club.
The Club is saddened to announce the passing of one of their longest serving members, Jack Smith.
Jack was an ever-present positive influence and a confidant who always had the best interests of the club at heart, even when ill-health restricted him.
He will be sorely missed.
The most powerful thing I’ve seen on

@WhenTheySeeUs
don’t look at race, just look at the injustice of 5 young people who’s lives were ruined by not incompetence but by pure laziness. Yet these detectives have never been held accountable
@R_o_M
@GNev2
To see what they continue to do to our club hurts! The infrastructure throughout the club isn’t working and our fans demand to see our club playing good football, producing good players, but most importantly competing!

In law where does it say winning the ball first in a challenge is not a yellow card? Is this challenge reckless? Yes. Is this a yellow? Yes! Also, I may have kicked ball earlier in my career! 🙃

Today, my cousin came out to me, and the way my family has disowned them is disgusting. No matter your sexuality, we are all human. Do not hide behind religion

@RoyalMail
why do you always lose my parcels. You email and tell me my items out for delivery and guess what, post man’s been and gone and said there nothing for me. Why so incompetent? People pay for a service and expect it
Don’t sit back and watch, ask the question, be there for people. If you can take one thing away from today, be the person who checks in on a friend, or family member. Have an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Be the change. Let’s look after each other 😔🌎

Powerful! I know this isn’t in our country but black people face the same injustice here. Our lives do matter. Why should we face injustice and racism in our daily lives?

The law doesn’t say the likelihood of him scoring, it’s the denial of the clear opportunity. The attacker has only the keeper to beat, distance is 8 yards out and it directly in front of goal with no covering defender.
Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil has organised free lunches for children at a school in Barnet.
70 kids, who usually get free meals, will now be fed this week during half-term.
Ozil has been working with charities and plans to deliver to more schools soon. 🙏
Saw a tweet today where someone claimed that people are two faced. Happy in there face and want to tarnish there name behind there back. I would like to ask that person, pot, kettle, black? My momma still didn’t raise no fool
