Today is the most special one Iโve ever had as a
@JamTarts
fan.
I had my
@The_FOH
plot ceremony.
What an absolutely surreal experience.
It was a privilege being on the pitch at
#Tynecastle
.
Thank you to everyone there, including the kind person who took this photo. ๐
Canโt sleep. Staying vigilant after some horrible Tweets to me (doesnโt include sensible criticism).
Nothing to be sorry for after my excitement for Garang Kuol arriving at
@JamTarts
from
@NUFC
. ๐ฑ๐ป๐ค๐ค
I think and hope Iโve made many people happy. โบ๏ธ Football is fun. โฝ๏ธ
Today = one of the most special
@NUFC
days ever. ๐ค๐ค
Itโs lush seeing the
#NUFC
familyโs joy with
@adidasfootball
โs return. ๐
Thank you so much to the very kind member of the clubโs staff for taking my ๐ธ
@StJamesParkNE1
. Itโs now a lifelong memory. It really means a lot. โฅ๏ธ
If
@sela
need any inspiration for a
@NUFC
fan zone next to
@StJamesParkNE1
, then look no further than
@EdmistonHouse
next to
@RangersFC
โs Ibrox.
Itโs classy, has plenty of useful facilities and is very conveniently located.
Something similar at
#NUFC
would be terrific. ๐ค๐ค๐
๐ฅ WATCH: I am looking forward to
@JamTarts
becoming the UKโs largest fan-owned football club this coming Monday.
Itโs a privilege to play my part through donating money to the
@The_FOH

BUZZING! ๐
My mental health has improved in recent months. ๐
While that doesnโt mean I wonโt have bad days (the start of this week wasnโt brilliant), I have come very far since the summer.

Thank you for your support. โฅ๏ธ

Even if we donโt sign

@JamTarts
deserve to be applauded for making a strong effort to do so.
But Iโm hopeful he will have gained a very positive impression of

Iโm optimistic heโll be wearing maroon soon. ๐ฑ๐ป๐โบ๏ธ

A very large group of Hearts fans are calling on Craig Levein to quit his current role as menโs first team manager after Motherwell won 3-2 at
#TynecastlePark
this afternoon. The fans are making their feelings known at the

This was 7.59am this morning: an absolutely wonderful moment at

@DEalesNUFC

@StJamesParkNE1
on a very special day for the club with the return of

๐ฅ WATCH: Wow! Thank you all so much for your kindness through your Tweets etc tonight. Absolutely incredible and totally unexpected. Humbled. โฅ๏ธ
I spontaneously went up a hill tonight to try and lift my spirits up, despite my low feelings. ๐
A few words from me at a height:
Full โฅ๏ธ and solidarity with
@BarrieMcKay
.
It was utterly disgraceful how many times he got objects thrown at him.
Where is the full condemnation and outrage?
Nobody, regardless of what their team is, deserves to be hit by any object.
Heโs a top professional for
@JamTarts
.
Stopping Tweeting tonight. Dealing with something distressing that happened tonight which has badly affected me. Family and I are ok, no worry about that, but need some peace until normality hopefully resumes for me. Please send help. I need it.
An abundance of praise must be deservedly given to
@Clare_Cowan
for all of her absolutely tenacious efforts to restore order during the chaotic scenes after the final whistle this afternoon. ๐
She definitely is
@JamTarts
at its best. ๐ฑ๐ป
Thank you, Clare, you
#Hearts
legend. โฅ๏ธ
๐ฅ WATCH: When my
#mentalhealth
crumbled earlier this year, I was overwhelmed with support on Twitter.
If you were one of those people, thank you so much for your compassion.
It really did make the difference and made me realise that I did matter:
Iโve been racially abused tonight.
Absolutely seething with rage and quite shaken. ๐ก
Thankfully such incidents directed at me are VERY rare, but my heart and soul is bruised.
Some people are f*****g scum.
Absolute scum.
Thrilled that

If it wasnโt for crowds being allowed back at football earlier this year, then I could have probably kissed this world goodbye.
But thankfully, I am in a much better place today.

For those of you who think Iโm obsessed with

Make no mistake about it, a
@JamTarts
win goes a long way to making my mental health better.
Thereโs nearly nothing worse than going into the new week not seeing my team win and it does have an effect.
But that win today has energised me like very few other things can! ๐
Good morning everyone ๐,
Honestly, I โฅ๏ธ you all.
While the fresh air helped last night, those of you who showed concern for me made the major difference and lifted my spirits. Life remains difficult, but you have made it more bearable for me. Thank you so much once again. โบ๏ธ

They need to be ambitious, passionate and someone who will unambiguously stamp their own authority on the squad.
I donโt know who that person is yet, but it needs to be someone who unites our fanbase.
