The people amused/shocked/appalled that the BBC would hire a boxing reporter with no arms are going to fall off their sofas when they hear I also do golf, tennis, snooker etc. PS I also have a prosthetic leg and report on football š±. (Thanks @tphollingsworth for the pic)

Iāll leave you with this:.My first suggestion would be to change the name ābenefitsā. What people refer to as ābenefitsā should actually be called ācompensationsā. Eg making up for something lacking. Theyāre not extras or perks. #DisabilityCuts #PIP.

One of the most remarkable matches Iāve witnessed. Iām glad the Will Lancaster netbuster for 3-3 is as good as I thought it was from the touchline. Bobby Charlton, Steven Gerrard, Ronnie Radford-esque!.

So sad/frustrating. Gainsborough Trinity come back from 3-nil down to 3-3 in added time and some fans from both sides came onto the pitch to square up. The referee had to take both teams off. Waiting for them to re-emerge.
