MY NAMES ALEX AND IM A GAMBLING ADDICT - that's how I would start every one of my Gamblers anonymous meetings over the past 5 years.
But today I can celebrate with
@MynameisNadia__
as we have both for the first time reached ONE YEAR with no gambling.
#letsbebetterhumans
Parents signing upto 'grassroot academy's' because they go and play pro clubs and yet the kids haven't been taught how to pass a ball properly 🙈 - it's all about the showcase and the Instagram 🙏.
Somebody tell me anywhere more toxic than the marathon ground to play youth football matches - I bet you can't. Literally hell on earth never want to play their again 💯
My van was stolen this morning from St Mary Cray - please help me find it, it has everything in it I need to run my business. Scummy scummy place in England right now.
Seeing a few memories of the season popping up this was Barnsley away - with one of my best pals. A last minute equaliser and seeing

#CAFC
so glad we got to share it together ❤ - defending was outstanding. Guaranteed premier league club next round ⚽️
Can coaches also be free agents? Looking for an opportunity after Christmas to work within
@SCEFLeague
- know I have alot to offer and would love the opportunity to prove it ⚽️.
Laying my beautiful mum to rest today - doesn't feel real, life is truly not a rehearsal.
Taken from us way to soon, we will make you proud today.
Sweet dreams mum ❤.
Non league football is all about working together here is CEO and mate of mine

match today
#nodaysoff
4 months today since I had a bet - the second longest time since 23rd November and I feel amazing. I have gambled since I was 15 and been in and out of therapy for the last 3 years but feeling strong and better than ever to talk about it and what it done to
I reached a financial goal today, which would never have been possible if I was still gambling.
There really is a way out of addictions, and I would love to point people in the right direction of how to get help.
One step closer to paradise ❤️.
#RecoveryPosse
Non league football is a whole new experience but delivering sessions and developing a great group of lads is still my passion and I'm enjoying being out on the green stuff again ⚽️.
My mum would have been 70 tomorrow - having her favourite place to sit and reflect on the memories brings more joy then pain and a realisation of how quick life passes you by - take a leap of faith in life and enjoy the ride it may well just pay off 🙏. ❤ Mum ❤
Delighted to have been asked to come on board as first team coach - an opportunity I didn't see on the horizon and the work to ensure
@vcd_club
get back to where they belong starts now, excited for the challenge and players the phone is on full battery 💯
We're delighted to announce the appointment of Danny Joy & Ross Baker as the new joint first team managers of VCD Athletic. ✍️
Both have experience managing at Step 4 with Phoenix Sports & most recently SCT.
Welcome to Oakwood Danny & Ross!
Just want to thank you 2 every single person who shared my post regarding my van I have it back now granted not how it was taken - but blessed to have it back and to have met many wonderful people that reached out to help.
Thank you ❤
#Letsbebetter
Very excited to start
@WellingTownFC
today who knows might be the first day of a great new football adventure - looking forward to learning and developing as a coach. Must remember to not call the players farm yard animal names like I do the little ones 🙈.
#uptheboots
Happy 1st heavenly birthday to my beautiful mum and to my special dad also as they shared the same birthday for the 51 wonderful years they spent together - today we created special memories and mum was the forefront of all them ❤
People saying could be 25 million for a lad whose played a handful of league 1 games 🤣🤣 - we have hands down some of the craziest fans about, we are league 1 people let's remember that - get in the mirror and wobble that head

Do I wear boots for the half time crossbar challenge next Saturday at the Valley and risk it not coming off the floor and being a meme for the rest of my life or do it in trainers?

#CAFC
23 years of coaching and experience yet people still don't get that it's the basics which make you effective over and over again THE BASICS NEVER CHANGE - do the basics and watch the game become easier
#TrustTheProcess
A day of celebrating the life of my beautiful mum today - 2 years since a wonderful person and even better mum was taken from us way to soon - missed and loved every day ❤️.
Proud of the vision that was discussed many years ago and now happening - vice chairman of the junior section and so happy to be involved in the future ❤️⚽️
Looking forward to starting tomorrow evening
@SCThamesmeadFC
know what I'm going into this time prepared and working with a great team and looking forward to meeting the players ⚽️
The club is pleased to welcome back to the Acre dugout Ross Baker and Dan Joy.
The lads will be joint managers and will be ably assisted by coach Alex Warner.
We wish them all well.
UTA!
Very happy to make my first steps into senior football and work towards development within the men's game - ethos for me of player development while enjoying the game stays the same
#uptheboots
Massive day for myself personally outside of football I'm 6 months gambling free and never felt better - this is the longest I have gone without gambling in 19 years and I'm not ashamed to admit that, facing upto my problem and the embarrassment of what I was doing was why 1/2
Just saw my stepson put three bottles of water in his bag - he has started selling them at school ice sealed bottles of water £1 - buying 12 for £3 and moving them at £1 a piece - trying to make his own little business I LOVE IT 🎯
From the first ever session to signing his first academy contract - 90 kids now through the soccer school into professional environments - for the sake of your children

with my boys and helping develop the future of the club for later years all the more special its my club! 19 years of work paying off ⚽❤️

Nearly 40 and still passionate about ensuring that young players are coached the right way at the earliest of ages - the foundation phase is such an important stage to build good habits and give children that love for football which hopefully stays with them forever ⚽️❤️.
Working full time in Football is 💯 one of the most stressful jobs anyone can undertake and the sad thing is the stress doesn't come from the coaching or kids - snake's all over the place and parents who just can't trust the process
#youworkinasda
Working with children with a variety of additional needs has always been a humbling experience and then to get noticed and appreciated over the small changes I have made to the kids lives makes me want more and more 🙏.
#myjob

One of the worse thing about football coaching is when you get players back enjoying the games parents say they are happy, playing better than ever but then leave the environment that created that happiness in the rush to chase the big time

THIS MADE A SKY NEWS APPEAL 🤯 - 10 crimes against me in 14 months including three stolen motors and on occasions evidence provided to support my case and EVERY CASE CLOSED.
What has happened to this country?
WHATS GOING ON
🚓 Police are appealing for help identifying woman who ripped a number plate off a police car.
CCTV footage taken at approximately 6.50am on 2 December, shows a woman throwing a plastic bottle at a parked police car in Warrington 🔗
Huge day on a personal level today - Evies first sports day, been looking at the dads since September to see who I think can beat me In the dads race and I really think it's my time to shine ✍
#rapidsback
The amount of people in football who treat other people in football like absolute wankers and then go back to people they treated like wankers and pretend like nothing ever happened or it wasn't a big deal is staggering

Great team bonding session and prep for Saturdays Vase game for the

#uptheboots
Off to my gamblers anonymous meeting this evening - 2 years bet free next month - if your struggling with gambling and would like to attend please reach out, loved being back out around like minded people helping each other last week 🙏
I'm looking for my first break into men's football and would really like to gain some experience with doing some pre season sessions when the time comes about scefl and above - I believe I have alot to offer and wish to test the waters RT much appreciated 🙂
People hating because coaches (have to have quality) running one on one or small sessions and stunned to find that your charging more than 55p an hour - get a grip, we all love football but you have to earn a living as well 💯
Since my mum passed away gym has been my release and taken my mind off things I will never be huge but can always try and be better than the session before - not bad for nearly 36, also looking for a training partner to push on with train at amigos Orpington EARLY 💥.
In a results driven industry, where impact and impressions mean everything to the fans I don't remember a caretaker manager having a better start with a club and after 13 games not being given the job

Worked my arse off as self employed for 10 years - built a business with my own hard saved cash and because in Jan I will have another 25 days of no work I'm meant to enjoy Xmas - we are a funny country but this whole thing has been one big mess.
Memories for a lifetime, worked his ass off to give his family everything, love being able to give something back and spending the most amazing day with him

I'm seeing people say let the players be they need to get fit they did well for 70 minutes 🤣🤣 it's a 90 minute game and they are on a few grand a week - we are 10 games in stop talking ridiculousness -if there not fit don't play them simple
#CAFC
First 4 sessions done
@WellingTownFC
and it's been so nice to work in an adult environment with some great players - looking forward to continuing to develop and work with the lads on what's shaping up to be a great season ⚽️
#Icoachfulltime
That was absolutely fantastic today - Dobson looked like a different player, pressed in great areas, played for the shirt and gave 100%. We looked like a top 6 side should have been 8 goals, Doncaster worse team I have seen this season 🙈.

Looking forward to my first involvement in the FA Cup today as a coach with

lads preparation at training was on point and looking forward to the end product on the pitch today ⚽️
#uptheboots
Give me a technical/game understanding sort of player every day of the week over a 1 vs 1 specialist - long term player development over a short lived advantage 👀👀
