At 1.30am this morning my Dad passed away in his sleep, thankfully I was there with him at the time.
We are relieved that he is no longer suffering, he had a great life of 91 years. Massive thanks to my Mum, nurses & carers who looked after him, amazing care by all
RIP Dad ❤️
Big respect to
@FulhamFC
from the moment we arrived, stewards, other groundstaff right up to Mr Ranieri & his coaching staff were great with us & very respectful after the game as well and one of their players who popped head in changing room wishing us well

Day 1 as Head of Academy Goalkeeping at Coventry City was straight into it with a great away win at Portman Road against Ipswich Town with the 23's in the first PDL game. ✅

Absolute pleasure to be part of the backroom staff last night supporting the new manager in his first game in the technical area as a manager! 👍🏻 Lads put in a great performance to cap off a good night for him & the club along with great support from the fans 👏🏻
Superb from the lads, deserved it!
On a personal level unbelievable to have reached as a coach the League One, League Two and National League play off finals at Wembley!
I dont miss many of my goalkeeping school sessions, but after losing my Dad recently and today being my 50th birthday, I decided to have a proper day and evening off with my lovely wife. Just received this from my coaching staff and young GKs! Absolutely love it!!! ❤️👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
After a good couple of weeks up North and 4 games completed, pleased to have agreed a deal until the end of the season to join
@OfficialOAFC
and looking forward to the rest of the season ahead. Mind you it’s cold up North 😂❄️🌨
#SouthernSoftie
Really enjoyed my time
@crawleytown
with a great group of players, backroom staff, and a small group of office staff who work tirelessly. The fans who followed us round the country on long away trips and the vocal home support made it a really good time and I wish all well 👏🏻👌🏼
Great win that! Every
@Official_STFC
member of staff in the offices, backroom staff, coaching staff, players and especially fan should enjoy that! 👏🏻👏🏻
He’s taken a small amount of fair criticism but a large amount of unfair. In the 17 months working together with
@caddai1
we’ve kept quiet, worked hard, had fun & I’ve loved seeing him develop. There is more to come from him but he deserves the credit he is now getting 👏🏻❤️
Been a chaotic few days from Wednesday morning to having taken two sessions and now in the hotel ready for my first game tomorrow with
@MKDonsFC
and looking forward to it! Couple more games to complete 400 as well! ⚽️🧤
Thanks once again to
@Official_STFC
Rob Angus, Scott Lindsey, Lewis Ward, Jojo Wollacott, Mildy, & Kev Metcalfe for making the day of one of my young GKs who was sadly bullied recently, just received the pics of him enjoying his day & souvenirs, thanks for sorting for me 👏🏻👊🏻👍🏻🧤

Adding to "should never get beat at near post" and "if a cross is inside 6 yard box it should be keepers ball" another funny from
@talkSPORT
just now "if a keeper gets a hand to the ball he should keep it out" lovely sweeping statement there for all situations 😆🤣🤷♂️🙌🤪🙈🙈
Wow just wow unbelievable feeling and scenes at the end and we got it right on the pen and the Great Dane saved it before we got the winner! Amazing to see all the blue of Oldham fans singing all game, its why we are in football that feeling! 👏🏻👍🏻
#BlueandTangerine
Many thanks for the kind comments from
#OAFC
fans, really appreciated. Ive done 20k miles & given my all for the cause. Ive been so impressed by the support, the noise made at maidstone, Hampton, Fulham, Exeter away really stood out for me & the Blue & Tangerine song i love!
If you have 7 subs I’ll never understand why you wouldn’t have a GK option on the bench, surely 6 outfield subs is enough options to cover the outfield positions 🤷🏼♂️🤔 some still don’t understand the importance of the position
@swindonadver
rather than write stories on a rich swindon person buying a lambo for his wife or a house in devon, could you speak to
@DeanMcMackin
& do an article raising awareness of the homeless people in Swindon & how we as Swindon people can do our bit to help them please?
The young lad beaten up by bullies thats gone viral is sickening
Now i get a text from one of my young GK school goalies parents to say he cant come tonight as he has been beaten up by older boys and is in pain and too upset to come, absolutely sickens and saddens me 😡😔😡😔
Three 2-0 wins in 7 days, three clean sheets! Outstanding defending today from the team and good vocal support on the terraces caps off a great week
#BlueandTangerine
Seen a number of fans of clubs being critical when their club announces the signing of a young 3rd choice goalkeeper. Full time football isn’t just about a matchday where you may only use 1. Full time training will require 3 or 4 goalkeepers for training needs plus injury backup!
Gutted we couldnt keep the dream alive today especially for the
@OfficialOAFC
fans who were truly immense today, numbers & noise all game! 👏🏻👏🏻
Chuffed for Big Zeus coming into a tough pressurised game in mad windy conditions & did really well 🙌🏻 2 games to go still want to win
Another good football league season done, loved working under Paul Scholes, Frankie Bunn & Pete Wild, FA Cup win at Fulham the highlight.
Now seeking my next challenge with all the passion, enthusiasm, hard work ethic and dedication to goalkeeping and football I’ve always had!
Instead of analysing England/Pickford perhaps we should be analysing
@ITV
pundit selection? Should be Manager, Goalkeeper, Defender, Midfielder, Striker then ask the relevant pundit when discussing specific situations that occur
@talkSPORT
@Mrjamieohara1
Free shot 12 yards centre of goal, GK not allowed off line, taker can stutter, do whatever he likes these days but GK has to have foot on line but GK not allowed homework on taker, doesn’t player have enough advantage to score? May as well just give a goal then🤬🤷🏼♂️
Proud to have completed my 350th 1st team game last night covering games in League Two, League One, Championship, National League & WSL, lots of highs & lows in the journey so far, hopefully a few more memories still to make! Still love working with the goalies 🧤⚽️
Tip for released scholar GKs sending out clips packages to clubs looking for pro deals or to N/L clubs.
Show that you can pass/kick over distance consistently as well as passing triangles with CBs & clipped balls to WBs 👍🏻

who dominated his area and made some excellent saves 👏🏻👏🏻
All the best to

At tonight’s session, conversation with 9 year old GK
GK: Hello Steve, have you had a good day?
Me: Yes thank you, did you have a good day?
GK: Reasonable
Me: Oh right, so some good bits some not so good?
GK: Coming here cheers me up! 😁👏🏻👍🏻
Left 6.40am Friday, likely to be back midnight tonight, 700 mile round trip but 3 points makes it worthwhile 👏🏻 respect to the Grecians who made that journey as well! 👏🏻
Fair to say im gutted to lose the bigman
@caddai1
been a pleasure last 18 months seeing him grow (not physically!) He will go on to play Champ football.
Glad that he has gone on to a friend and top coach in
@NickColganGK
who will look after him on next phase of his journey 👊🏻
It’s not that an outfield coach can’t talk about a goalkeeper, the problem comes when they make stupid statements about a goalkeeper or goalkeeping which are so daft they clearly don’t understand Goalkeeping. If they make valid points, that’s fine but often they don’t 🤷🏼♂️
👎 'I don't think Lloris is very good...
🏆 ...if Spurs want to go to the next level then they need to replace Lloris!'
🗣️ Tony Cascarino believes
#THFC
cannot win silverware with Hugo Lloris in goal!
Is Cas right? 🤔
@AdverSport
Instead of investing in academies in other countries, putting that investment into a U21 programme would give a greater chance of young players developing further and making a breakthrough from the academy, Exeter is the prime example of how this can work well.
Really enjoyed my time with Dan and Zeus, great pair to work with along with all the backroom staff and not forgetting Frankie, Max, Lawrence, Paul and Mick 🙌🏻👍🏻
#BlueandTangerine
Happy Heavenly Fathers Day.
Someone said to me the hardest days are the “Firsts”….. his first birthday, your first birthday, Christmas, Fathers Day without him. Hopefully he’s having a pint of his homemade beer and chomping on his peanuts sat in his armchair ❤️
Finances mean Exeter City left without full-time goalkeeper coach
Still available, have gloves/boots will travel if anyone needs a Goalkeeping Coach 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hopefully things on the up for
@Official_STFC
🤞🏻patience still required as lots to do but hopefully can get going in the right direction.
One things for sure, pleased for
@ScottLindseyCT
the club have acquired the best coach I have worked with who will help develop players 👍🏻
