So my soon to be 16 year old boy just walked in claiming he's just had the best day ever playing out. When I asked what he's been up to he replied "I just played football with my mates for 6 hours in the sun and just took turns going to the shop for drinks"
If only he knew
Not a real football team is always the shout๐
We had 45k watching our live stream of the game today ๐คฏ
@SpencerOwen
you've created a monster#๏ธโฃ
I've said it before, this geezer is technically up there with anything I ever played with. With an ounce of discipline and self motivation he could of gone right to the top.
#Higgo
It's currently 2 o clock in the morning here and we're sitting sharing pizza with the Como team and fans that just knocked us out of the

tournament. Up there with anything I've experienced in football. What a trip.
@hashtagutd
is some football club
He brought the good times back to our club after some desperate years and put smiles on thousands of faces this season and for that I thank him. Absolutely heartbreaking ๐. My thoughts are with his family.
#RipJustin
And still people want to have a pop at us. I just don't understand it๐ Thanks to anyone that watched and believe it or not that match might not make the top 3 for drama on this season alone.

CONSIDER THIS A VERIFIED BITE was an overweight poor footballer who I released a year ago.Since then you've been released by 5 clubs lower than Tilbury ๐In 2 hours of being sacked I've been offered 2 coaching roles in the conference south ๐

@samrajgill16
I know you pocketed ยฃ25k but I'll never get those first 2 attempts of that last game out of my head๐๐Well done in the end though ๐๐ป
This man is now and will always be my my heroโค๏ธ Played with him, coached him and managed him(badly) Also, just so happens to be the best man ever๐๐ป
Season voided and if I'm honest I think it's probably the fairest thing to do but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. 2 possible cup finals and a certain promotion lost๐ข Very proud of the way our players conducted themselves under enormous pressure. #๏ธโฃ
Can't tell you how proud this makes me. One of his ambitions ticked off and hopefully this will give him a platform to get to his major ambition. This kid is right up there with the best I've seen in non league lives for football so deserves everything he gets.
Always negotiate to be paid all season long because so many managers/chairman will be praying for more rain/snow tonight so they don't have to pay you if the game gets called off whilst still demanding unwavering commitment.
Wages/budget should be for the whole season.
Lost 3 full backs in 9 days and both starting CF's in the last few days so started with a 17 yr old at RB and a 17 yr old alongside an AM up front. 2-0 down after 30 mins against a real experienced physical side and to come back and win is unbelievable achievement.
Why is diving only a problem when attacking players do it? See so many defenders dive to get themselves out of a tricky situation and nothing ever gets mentioned.
Absolutely knackered, had a good morning coaching followed by a really enjoyable afternoon turning out for
@EppingFC_
Can't put any weight on either foot at the moment but somehow it all seems worth it๐. I've been reminded that football is a young man's game though
Lived at my mother in law's for the last 10 months while my my house was being done. My boys are all in their own beds tonight and I'm just about to go to sleep in my own bed in my own house for the 1st time in what seems a lifetime.

Where do you start with this one? Firstly he was appointed manager and wasn't an interim which means you sacked a manager that took over a team on 4 points after 9 games and went on to pick up 13 from the next 8 whilst bringing in lots of talented youngsters, all for experience?
Playing on with a suspected broken foot a couple of weeks ago and playing through the pain with it yesterday to then breaking his arm and playing on for 5 minutes tells you all you need to know about the man and why he's a hero to many. He will be sorely missed around the club๐๐ป
Unfortunately my playing time at
@hashtagutd
is over. The plan was always for me to leave at the end of feb for work commitments but breaking my arm yesterday cut that short. Iโll still be over as a fan for a few weeks and will say goodbyes then.
Perhaps
@leytonorientfc
fans will realise the value of having Martin Ling at the club. As a player he helped guide us 2 the 99 play offs,as a youth team boss he guided the team 2 a cup final win,as a manager he won promotion & as DOF has reached a cup final &.. watch this space!
and gets the success it deserves. I'd like to thank everyone who has messaged me with support over the last 24 hours. I want to thank all the players that turned out for me over the last year and my biggest thanks goes to my best mate
@LEEHODGEES
for all he done for meโค๏ธ 3/3
Anyone who knows me will know how much I loved playing for the club and to go on and get the chance to manage it was an honour and I'm devastated that I couldn't deliver the success that the good people at the club deserve. I genuinely hope the club go on to great things 2/3
Had a go at doing the family a Spanish๐ช๐ฆ breakfast. Didn't quite go to plan and I feel I let a few down. Family were great as always and never stopped encouraging ๐๐ป Gave it my all and a positive is I ate it and I'm full. We go again tomorrow
#UpTheKeiths
SUPER FRANKIE LAMPARD!!
There's not a man in football who deserves all his success more. The hardest working man I have ever seen and a top man to go with it. ๐๐ป
Herrera is a managers dream. Played as a 2nd RB everytime Chelsea (Hazard) get the ball and then goes and gets on the end of a cross in the 6 yard box. A very underrated player in my opinion.
Made my
@AFCHornchurch
debut in a season opener alongside Jimmy Mac 3 1/2 WEEKS after he broke his leg. The determination of the man is frightening. Wishing him the speediest of recoveries.
There's a lot of people frustrated they can't tweet loads of negative stuff about England tonight. I've never understood wanting your country to do bad just to back your opinion. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Had a very good night saying goodbye to
@Reiss_Gilbey19
as he moves to Dubai(for the 2nd time). If injury didn't rob him, he would have been the best all round midfielder of the last 10 years in Essex and to top it he's one of the best people I've ever met. โค๏ธ
Don't think there's a better name in football than "El Chavico" for the Tilbury Vs Gray's game.
Today's the day when Tilbury finally get it done. ๐๐ป

@KiersHM
was brought to the club for but I've just seen a clip of his finish(from a better angle than I saw it live) tonight and its ridiculous. ๐๐ป#๏ธโฃ
My 8 year old saved loads of his pocket money from the year to go out with my mum and pick his own presents for his family. Just opened this from himโค๏ธ I do feel a bit guilty for only getting him an orange now.

No better place to win a league than at the spotted dog. The fact I won a cup final there for the school 30 years ago makes me feel really old though x

Not one person involved with the club will be pleased to see this man leave, whether it's players,coaches,manager, supporters,owners or anyone else involved, which tells you all you need to know about the man.

@tilburyfc

To go up in this way was one of the most amazing things ever. What a day and what a night to cap off a fantastic season with the most amazing group of men.

So I had to walk my wheelie bin a km there and back to empty it as our bin men have been on strike for a month and will be for another month and on the way back I nodded and smiled at a blind man๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ. That's where I'm at on this Monday morning
An absolute pleasure to play for and an honour to work alongside(for).Got so many great football memories thanks to this man and what he achieved with what he had was simply amazing and never changed his principals.Also got to know a side of him that others never see

Shane Long must be horrible to play against with his non stop running and work rate but you'll always be safe in the knowledge that he can't score a goal to save his life.
MARK WRIGHT at Crawley is clearly a publicity stunt but something I don't get why everyone is so angry about. He's not taking any game time away from a U-23 and clearly bringing the publicity that Crawley wanted. Some of the pros might have a problem though.
3g pitches should be banned for vets football. I think my body could be in shock for a good few days๐ฉ. 7-1 win in a semi final of the county cup ain't bad though.
Unbelievable work from all at the club to secure a deal like this and takes me back to my first ever pair of football boots which were Hummel. Lots to look forward to with this club#๏ธโฃ
