Due to circumstances My time at Thorn Athletic 2007s has unfortunately came to an end, a club that brought me on board to learn and develop as not just a goalkeeping coach but a coach as a whole. Gutted to be leaving is an understatement such a well ran club from top to bottom.
These boys are absolutely phenomenal only went and done it winning 3-2 in a classic semi final. Thank you to St Ninians for a great game, enjoy every moment lads you guys deserve it and we will go again in the final on the 5th of May congratulations boys

Some effort from these boys today listened to our instructions well, worked hard for each other and deserved the result to match the work rate good luck to erskine🤝
Special mention to new signing Jay Dooley who bagged a goal and 2 assists on his debut welcome to Thorn wee man💙
A ruthless performance from the boys on a heavy pitch to take us to the next round. Even more impressive after coming off a plane just over 15 hours before
All the best to Erskine going forward
Erskine 0-5 Thorn
Controlled for the most part, started the game very well with an energetic first 45 scoring some real top quality goals, second half dipped a little however still scoring 2 goals. Best of luck to Erskine

Boys matched this seasons Scottish Cup Finalists well today really good work rate and battling all over the park for each other, unlucky not to come away with all 3 points.
We move on to Rossvale Barca on Tuesday night in the divisional cup💙
Strong start today from the boys then allowing the hosts to have a good spell going into the break at 2-2, the boys came out firing in the 2nd 45 making it 4-2 with 20 to go, 2 late goals from drumsagard see the points shared a great watch for a neutral💙

What a shambles of a last few days with this, teenagers preparing for this the whole summer and long pre seasons for a “IT system failure”
Shutting down an old system thinking a brand new one is going to be absolutely perfect 1st try also is ludicrous
Only in Scotland🤦♂️
Here is your first look at tomorrow's Daily Record front page, which leads on the SFA being accused of leaving thousands of young footballers sidelined because of a new IT system.

From Jason & Derrick who if wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have been at the club taken a punt on me and bringing me in forever grateful, working with guys like Gary, Ross, Robert, John, Craig, Tam & Iain all great guys who where such a joy to work with both on and off the park.

Working with Sam & Liam the past year at Thorn was a pleasure and made my time there so enjoyable great lads, taking Jack for the least amount of time but so eager to learn brilliant to see, & Kallan the longest time seen him came on leaps and bounds. Buzzing to sponsor all 4⚽️👌
