Nice few weeks break from each other, great catch up this afternoon and ready to be a married couple again in 8 days time

were fantastic hosts today.
Wife is on one at the moment so not talking to me. So today in peace I’ve watched
Luton Vs Tottenham ⚽️

on the 3 points - see you in the return fixture⚽️
Didn’t get the time I wanted but loved every minute of the event / experience today
@OfficialBigHalf
, lost a stone in the build up and still want to shift some more so will sign up to another event soon. wow it was hot today.
Well, that was eventful. I’ve always looked like I’ve had an up hill paper round with flat tyres but tonight may have done more damage, poor first half but the pride from the second half is a big buzz, disappointing to not walk away with the 3 points. We Go Again 🟡⚫️
Well that was eventful , game should have been done and dusted at half time, typical season opener. Loved every minute 🥴 3 pts on the board, roll on Wednesday
@BurnhamRamFC
Glad to finally stop the rot
@BurnhamRamFC
. Had plenty of chances to win the game but also had to ride the storm on just as many occasions.
@Benfleet_FC
played some great football at times. Looking forward to the return fixture.

Penelope’s first time watching the hammers. Compromised with the wife as she’s spurs and I’ve got a soft spot for arsenal….. to some it’s a football crime , i call it married life

Nice to see Southend with some decent technical footballers now but I’m sorry
@Cavaghnmiley
is a proper player for the fans, so many great interceptions / little steals , VITAL ⚽️
Never felt so rough after just recovering from the cold / flu going round. Fair play to the boys for digging deep and coming back from 4 down at half time to 4v4. After all the nonsense and emotions that happen during the game good luck to

last night, really improved from a few weeks back, always up against in when 3 starters let us down over the space of 2 hours before kick off. Another starter late from work so arrived at 8 (done his best). Sums it up I had to play after 9 years.
Very gentle 4.2 mile run tonight after a stressful/worrying day up the hospital, wife and baby all ok. Great opportunity to get some thinking time ahead of the season opener tomorrow for

After spending 4 months as Co-Chairman at the club we have decided to resign with immediate effect.

Crowd were fantastic tonight, ref was
Horrific. Should have put the game out of sight before the 60th min but that’s football, Hutton were ruthless towards the end. Looking forward to the return leg. Good luck until then

FULL TIME!
A second defeat for Ramblers.
Ramblers looked emphatic in the first half, however Hutton grew into the game and took their chances
A massive thank you for all the support from the fans you were brilliant👏

Great event, over the moon with 52.52 considering I played 60+ mins yesterday and had a tight groin. Gutted I didn’t push a little harder as I still had energy in the tank when I crossed the line.
October is off to a good start
Thank you to all for coming out yesterday to support the team. We hope to see some of you Wednesday night in Witham, if not we are looking forward to seeing another great attendance on Saturday 👏👏
A great 4-3 win for our 1st team’s start to the season with a hat trick from Karl Swanborough. Amazing attendance from the local community including the Burnham mayor Duncan and a big thank you to BRFC U12’s who were today’s mascots ⚽️⚫️🔵

Tried to run at sub 2 hour pace but just got it so wrong and started off to slow that i had to bolt the last mile to catch the time up. The plus side was the legs had lots of energy despite the late burst . Will try again Sunday
Shows how far we’ve come to be disappointed to not walk away with anything. Not a fan of saying well done when losing but couldn’t stop myself from saying it tonight as the boys really did give their all and had chances…

Love being back at Roots hall, proper old school stadium. 7,200 at a 5th tier game of football…. Incredible, ref killed the blues first half not giving the red but overall it’s head and shoulders above last season considering the horrendous circumstances
@SUFCRootsHall
Blokes taken a lot of stick over the years, people are quick to forget the good jobs he’s done. Always comes across as one of the good guys. Well deserved with his 87 year old dad watching on 👏👏👏

First run in 10 days, spent 5/6 of those unwell. Body still wasn’t right but stubbornness kicked in and I wanted 9 miles. First 6 was great, the last three was hell. It very quickly went from race pace to just anything inside 1:30. Back on it this week.

15th Sept 13.11 stone 87.8kg
Taken a while to lose over a stone. Done it my own way, not being to restrictive with treats and alcohol has been key otherwise it would have been game over by week 2 😂
Under 13.10 before the baby comes would be great

Just came up short in the end, sloppy opening 25-30 put us on the back foot. Ever so proud of the last 60 minutes the boys were fantastic and showed the fight that’s needed from minute 1 moving forward. Fair play to Redbridge , great hosts ⚽️
A really enjoyable 3 miles, plodded/comfortable for 1.5 and then upped the tempo 1.5 for a time of 26 mins. Lots of thinking time and now really looking forward to tonight’s game
@Benfleet_FC
@BurnhamRamFC
Tough one to take. Great defensive display for 75 mins , had a few decent counter attacks that on another day gives us a different outcome. 2 quick goals burst the bubble. Some good football played by

Not the result we wanted today but first 90 mins in probably 8-9 years, will be contrnuing to get fit and be available for selection as much as I can as I’ve wasted to many years not playing and won’t be able to keep up with the 20 year olds in a couple of years 😂

@johntaylor19791
Evening John, not quite true as another manager came in after Alex before Kudus then got the job, the boys still talk to each other. Thank you for the positive comment on the win. Enjoy your weekend 👍
4.27 miles Tuesday and 7aside last night. Upping the gears today for 3 miles. 2 days rest before attempting 9.5 miles at race pace on Sunday. Starting to feel paper thin hamstrings could be a thing of the past
Just over 3 miles this morning. Nice and easy in this heat. 2 runs back to back. Not sure what’s changed but have always suffered with aches and pains after running no matter what the running distance / intensity is which can take days to recover, not feeling that right now.
@SUFCRootsHall
Crazy to think that despite everything going on off the field, the starting 11 available today is still more then good enough to compete in the national league. Once the takeover is complete and embargo is lifted, being able to add to this group will be exciting to see.
Dillon Danis showing he’s an absolute disgrace to MMA, 2 failed takedowns in a boxing match 😂😂 shame really as a few years ago he was one of the future stars.
Tommy fury….. I’m done with this crossover shit I’m onto the next challenger …… so Tommy no more YouTube fighting ??….. no I’m done with this shit, if any of the Paul’s want it they can get it
Blokes proper thick
Chesterfield the better side, one to many blues players not quite fit for me being rushed back under desperate times. Few days rest needed for sure for a depleted squad. Will say it again, still a million miles ahead of when Kev took over.
@EssexPR
£2.35 billion going to Ukraine (terribly sad situation but this just can’t happen) also providing help / money to the submarine rescue whilst rates continue to rise and people continue to starve …. Bizarre
