Nah respect some non league players. A lot of CMs play this ball knowing their winger is running in behind already. Just has a different perception because it’s Trent. It’s a great ball whatever the level. I’m just saying let’s have the same energy when it’s done in non league
Morsy challenge is a red?
Evans challenge is a red?
Mumba challenge isn’t even talked about being a yellow card? Because he isn’t that type of player? Give it a rest.
#itfc
I actually hate pre season. Like I fully hate it. Nothing to do with the fitness. It’s the new players . Every year just no decorum, no morales, no respect. It doesn’t take much to message a manager with an update on circumstances if they change. It doesn’t take much to reply 😒
Finally received certification for my UEFA B! Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me on my coaching journey and although a certificate doesn’t define you as a coach, it’s nice to be able to push myself further towards my goals and what I want to achieve in coaching
Winds me up when football teams that advertise for coaches to join their team put ‘MUST BE a LEVEL 2 coach or above’ 🙄🙄🙄
It’s a bit of paper and it doesn’t necessarily make you a good coach. I know people with no certificate who are better than some Level 2 coaches. Banter.
@FaLicenced
Question for you - what age is it acceptable to not bring a player on as a sub?? When a player gets to 16 they can play men’s football and might spend games sitting on the bench not getting on. Isn’t it better to expose it to them earlier so they have experience dealing with it?
Hey everyone! On Wednesday 17.02.21 my daughter Freya Jane Hunwicks was born at 15.59 weighing 7lb7oz. Mum (absolute soldier) and baby both doing well and are home now! 💕
Good luck to all the decent young coaches out there applying for a first team managers job in non-league this week. They won’t give it to you anyway, but good luck. It will go to the same people that get all the other managerial roles 🤣
@late4ausername
There are some very good technical players in non-league that do this week in week out. That defending is diabolical. If Saka doesn’t score are you still talking about the pass? Probably not.
As a coach, I can’t promise you money, sponsorship deals or the exposure you may get at other clubs. But what I can offer you is 100% commitment on my end to make you a better player and the best version of yourself that you can be. I couldn’t be anymore committed to my team.
It amazes me when you see a Step 4 or Step 5 teams team sheet and they only have 3 or 4 subs named. Perfect time to call up an U18 or reserve player to the squad and give them some experience around first team squads and better players!
Non-league football is finished. Can’t believe my eyes with some of the things I see. People tweeting they scored when their team lost, dancing around in dressing rooms, people jumping teams for an extra tenner a week. People playing for all the wrong reasons. It’s embarrassing.
A player that I got rid of is now sending DMs to other managers and telling them about my teams tactics?
Is there anything more embarrassing and pathetic as that?
One of the worst things I’ve ever heard
Just to confirm I take Saturday football very seriously. If you don’t take it almost as seriously as me then you are wasting both of our time. If you want to get fit go to the gym or hit the roads. My training sessions are not a free facility for you to get fit. Thanks.
Yesterday, a player on the opposite team told me ‘I’m s**t’ when they were 2-0 up against us. I got an assist and scored in the game and we ended up winning 4-2. I wonder if he still thinks I’m s**t 😂😂
I’d rather a player who doesn’t wanna play for my team give an actual real reason why they don’t want to play, instead of giving me some BS about not wanting to play football anymore and then signing for another team 🥴
Not sure how anyone can prefer to watch
@BBCMOTD
like that last night. Was awful. No commentary, no talking points, no analysis. 🤮🤮
Bring back Gary and the team ASAP!
@Mernski14
For real some players can’t. But people will see that in non-league and shout hoof. They see Trent do it and it’s 🤤 gotta have the same energy in my opinion!
UEFA B - Block 2 complete ✅
Just another step forward on the coaching journey as I continue to try to learn and make myself the best coach I can possibly be for my players!
Today was one of the proudest moments of my teaching career. My year 6 boys team had an Essex cup semi final in Southend. We were 2-0 down and came back to win 3-2 with the last kick of the game! Absolute scenes! Seeing their faces was a moment I’ll never forget!
#WhoAreWe
It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to step down as manager of
@ChelmsfordEJA16
after 2 and a half seasons. This group of boys mean so much to me and I have learned so much from them! They are so talented and will go on to do great things! Thanks for the memories ⚽️
I just want to warn everyone in advance that from now until the end of pre season I will constantly be moaning about players not turning up to sessions, pulling out of trial games, not committing to sign & all other poor player etiquette during this time
Yours regretfully,
Hunz
I’m not sure why teams are organising fixtures for their reserve teams and then sending their first team squads and trialists to fulfil the fixture. The whole point of playing reserves against reserves is that it’s a suitable and competitive level for both teams.
‘No game for our first team today so we are going to put as many first team players in our reserve team to smash a team in their league’
Everything that I hate and everything that is wrong about football 🤯🤦🏻♂️
I’m thinking of retiring as a football manager. Take up something like Table Tennis or Darts and then I only have to worry about relying on myself and not other people 🙄🙄

Whatever your thoughts are on the Queen she was still someone’s Nan, Mum, Sister etc. She was born into royalty and became Queen from such a young age and dedicated her life to the monarchy. She has done a lot for the country and now may she rest in peace!

The best thing about football is no matter what worries or troubles you have in life, once you step out onto that pitch you forget about everything for just that 90 minutes!!

@CH_SpartansFC
we are proud to give young players the platform to make the transition into senior football by giving them opportunities!
So proud of both Lewis & Oliver who have both been fantastic this season!
As a coach, players will come and go. Some will stay and remain loyal and fight for every minute they play, others won’t and will leave.
But never forget HOW and WHY you got given the opportunities to be where you are and WHO gave those opportunities to you!
Nothing worse than spending time planning a training session based on the numbers you have for training for people to drop out last minute and completely fuck your whole session 🤦🏻♂️
If I had to play a pre season friendly with 10 players and my Dad in goal I’d do it before I cancelled on another team. Especially not last minute either.
Once my team makes the agreement and commitment to a friendly I’m never pulling out.
You’ve done a superb job Dad. You are a credit to Hullbridge and non-league football. What you have done for Hullbridge is truly remarkable. All the voluntary hours put in and all the times you’ve gone above and beyond. You should be proud! I am proud of you 💙
Goodbye to
@HullbridgeFC
It’s difficult to say you have loved every minute, as like most people I don’t like losing, but this club is special, with special people.
The club has gone a long way in my 6 years and now it’s time for somebody to take them to the next media level.
So everyone is now a 1-1 coach, a business owner, bike rider, runner, politician, cake maker, gardener, Bundesliga expert and a content creator!
Let’s see what you lot are saying once everything goes back to normal 😂😂
Credit to Concord but how can Dagenham and Redbridge not have a proper system to bring youth players through? Concord obviously take their youth structure a lot more seriously 👏👏👏
2 years ago I was manager of Chelmsford EJA U15s ... I signed a young lad called Reg Gregory. He was the first signing that I made as manager of
@OfficialClarets
U15s and today he made his first team debut! I’m super proud of him and he thoroughly deserves it.
@reggiegregory9
👏
Teams pulling out of games now before Christmas all of a sudden because of COVID. Absolute bollocks. This basically means some of our decent players are missing so we’ll use COVID as an excuse so we can’t be penalised.
The best thing about playing football is that no matter what is going on in your life all your troubles always seem to go away for the length of time you are playing on the pitch!
#TheBeautifulGame
⚽️
The same clubs, giving the same managers, the same jobs … and then they wonder why young up and coming managers don’t get the experience they need and why they are the same place they are now in 6 months time!
#shambles
When I left Barkingside (Step 5) and went to Frenford (Step 6) I was put in the reserves. Went from paying nothing to paying £10 a game. I could of sacked it off or stay and prove myself to get into the first team. I’ll let you work out which one I did ..
I am always critical of referees but today the referee we had (Will O’Neill) was top draw! Had full control of the game and made the correct decisions. Best ref we’ve had since being in the
@EssexAllianceFL
said he didn’t want to make the game about him and he certainly did not!
DTFC really are the SALTIEST team when they lose aren’t they!
It’s funny how when they lose they ALWAYS dominated the game and should of won and when they win it’s because they thoroughly deserved it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why do people get so excited and happy about calling games off? I’ll never understand. We work hard all week and look forward to Saturday games so naturally we are disappointed when the games get called off yet seems some people are so eager to get them postponed.
Just a small club trying to do big things. The goals remain the same, just a new home. Thank you to Frenford FC for making it happen and thanks to everyone at the club for making this possible! A lot of hard work has gone behind the scenes.

My eldest brother is 43. He has been an Ipswich fan his whole life and was a season ticket holder for years. He managed to get 2 tickets for yesterdays game but gave them up for his Dad (60th birthday) and lifelong fan and his 12 year old son go instead. Legendary.

For the last 3 days I’ve been on Block 1 of my UEFA B. The course has made me reflect a lot on myself as a coach, how far I have come so far and how much I still have to learn. The hard work really starts now on the next stage of my coaching journey
Happy birthday to the man behind the lens (also my Dad)
@ABridgeTooFar16
who has worked tirelessly and voluntarily over the years to produce some outstanding non-league media coverage and photographs!! Hope you have a good day! The best Dad a guy could ask for 💙
Absolutely embarrassing that teams are forfeiting fixtures at this stage of the season when promotions and relegations are still at stake! It’s a complete disgrace. They should be made to start next season on minus however many points they have given away through forfeiting! 😡
I can’t tell you how frustrating it is as a manager when you can’t pick the same starting XI two weeks in a row because players are always getting injured or are unavailable! 🤯🤯😡😡
I was the biggest Southgate critic but have to give him credit. First England manager to get us to a final in my life time! Can’t believe it! Absolutely buzzing!!! 🏴🏴🏴
