Manager of MK Irish FC! Father of three great sons and a beautiful daughter! & I like being me
Joined January 2021
Pitch is fine ATM. Takes a stud we’ve sheeted up the area that doesn’t get the sun & it’s soft underneath. My son Vincent has had a run on it. Amazing because he never run when he played

We might have a water issue but it’s no reason not to have a laugh. I’m so glad my son is calmer now he’s older

@OlooneyJohn Maybe because the average person doesn’t think they can do anything about it John. After all it’s the politicians that are supposed to look after our interests.

@GBNEWS Try being a roof tiler till your 68. I’m 63 & every day is harder than the last. Maybe I should retrain to be a politician.

I’ve had a full hip replacement today. I must say the treatment I’ve received in Milton Keynes hospital has been Top Draw. The anaesthetic hasn’t worn of yet but so far so good.

Got to be careful when you organise friendly’s. When the opposing manager tapps up your players after the game.

I can see why Old Bradwell fc have turned over so many teams at a higher level in the last few seasons. Their commitment & passion from the whole club is top draw. We will meet again in the near future.

If our game was on today it would turn our pitch into a field not fit for purpose. There’s 4 months of the season left to play.

@juneslater17 So true. When you’ve done manual work all your working life & you get into your 60s. You can’t do as much as you once could. It’s very hard to except.

@MKIrishUltras Maybe if he had sat down here for the last few days he could’ve caught all the rain in his mouth. Sounds like it’s big enough.

We are so lucky it kept raining this afternoon. The match day ref was adamant the pitch was playable 🤦♂️. Playing on this tonight would have killed it. Respect. You have to earn it

When your a manager & it goes well,you want it to be better. When it goes wrong,you feel everyone’s pain x10. But you blame yourself.There’s more to being in charge than picking the team.

Thought about packing in after Tuesday but I’d only be letting down the good people at our club & those that caused it wouldn’t care. Patrick Hanlon is the ref responsible for turning our pitch into a field.

Pitch has dried out & really bobbly. We need better equipment but this is what I’ve got. Is now the right time to vertidrain & sand ?

Don’t usually comment on our games but Great hospitality @biggleswadeutd last night. Perfect playing surface which surely should be the top priority for ground grading.

When I pick the team I’m not trying to make friends or tick boxes. Don’t matter if their tall, short, fat, thin, gay,strait, black, white. What matters is they improve the team.

I don’t know why people think 8or9 new signings will make a better team, when continuity is the key. 1or2 additions to the squad in the areas that needs to strengthen is what’s required. IMO.

In my experience. & I’m old now. Cunts don’t come with a label on. They can be,white,black,yellow,brown,tall,short,fat,thin,young,old. But when you meet them you will know what they are.

How is this right? Assistant manager gets a 140 day ban from all football for calling to the ref to check the player after the challenge! Foul or not surely the referee’s priority is player welfare? He doesn’t even look at the player down injured!

Done the divots & spiked & the roll of the ball ain’t bad on the worst parts of the pitch

@Ollie_Bayliss It’s very hard at step 5. Like it is at step 7. 6. 4. 3 and every other level. But success is relevant. It’s not all about winning leagues & cups it’s about competing & creating a football club that young lads want to aspire to play for.

@bradwellcommon @sportsshotsnews @OldBradwellUtd Amazing the local council’s can erect skate board parks & sell school playing fields & local golf clubs for housing but can’t help develop sports clubs in MK to move onto the next level. MK Football clubs should be at a higher level considering the population.
