Bonus pictures from ‘s @heatonstan.bsky.social game! Another footballer-with-a-ball-for-a-heed! What more could you want

Shots from the full-blooded @heatonstan.bsky.social v @ashingtonafc.bsky.social game from Tuesday. We started with a poignant minute's applause from everybody's friend Davey Faichen. We'll miss you Davey.

And here’s the full set from the weekend’s @heatonstan.bsky.social game heatonstan.co.uk/event/dunsto...

Finally, a month after my last game, I took in @heatonstan.bsky.social, at Dunston this time. The Stan came up against a ruthless opponent, and managed only a fine headed goal towards the end.

Took myself to the @britishcycling.org.uk National CycloCross championship today. It was a bit muddy as you can see…

No Stan tonight, so I thought I'd do a Moon

Gutted

Here’s this week’s cartoon for @sport.theguardian.com Thanks for reading them this year x www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

No surprises here

The Stan game was off, so I took in Benfield v Whitley Bay today, along with this guy and about 170 other folk

Not the best night for me at @heatonstan.bsky.social v Dunston, but managed to salvage a few that aren't awful!

The Stan go marching on. Another superb performance for @heatonstan.bsky.social at @bridtownafc.bsky.social

This should be a cracker

The Stan were utterly brilliant today. @heatonstan.bsky.social

It's Friday, work's over, so how about some snaps from @heatonstan.bsky.social v Grimsby Borough, where the lads carried on as they left off from the abandoned game? As you can see, Dean was happy

Another outstanding performance from the lads tonight… Dale Pearson took his tally for the season to 11 with a hat-trick, and Leighton Hopper’s early penalty takes him to 12!

😵 Outrageous from Konner!

Shots from yesterday's damp but enthralling @heatonstan.bsky.social v @brighousetownfc.bsky.social game, the first under the club captaincy of der Kaiser, Captain Dan Capewell

Proper football

YIUUURRRRSSSSS

Well, a slightly damp afternoon at @heatonstan.bsky.social today. The game lasted about five minutes long than I did before I retreated to shelter

❌MATCH ABANDONED❌ The referee has decided that the weather is bad enough for this match to be ABANDONED with 24 minutes on the clock.

YIUUURRRRSSSSS!

A bit late, but here are a few favourites from @heatonstan.bsky.social v Silsden over the weekend. We start with a few of the respective managers getting involved in the game

Prior to yesterday’s match, the club and the players joined with Newcastle United Foundation & Jesmond Park Academy to reaffirm the message that racism has no place in schools, on the pitch and in our community. #ShowRacismTheRedCard

Together with Newcastle United Foundation and Jesmond Park Academy, we are showing racism the red card 🟥 (1/2)

I couldn't make @heatonstan.bsky.social's epic trip to Matlock, but here are some shots from Friday's Stan A game at home to Cramlington

YIUUURRRRSSSSS! What a team

⚫️STAN A MATCHDAY⚪️ Friday night… under the lights… See you at The Willow Park tonight!

👏THANK YOU👏 Many thanks to our training sponsor Ironhaven Wealth Management for their support this season!

More photos from @heatonstan.bsky.social v @emleyafc.co.uk The sunlight was so bright at the start of the game that I couldn't get a decent shot, but the moon came out afterwards, which was nice.

After todays pelanty decision (the one for Emley), I know how Nic Ashford feels

#nonleague #properfootball #photography from @heatonstan.bsky.social v @bridtownafc.bsky.social this Wednesday. Despite one of the floodlights running on half its bulbs I think I got a couple of decent shots

Couldn't make the @heatonstan.bsky.social visit to Bradford, so I popped over to watch the A team play Gosforth Bohemians. It wasn't quite the bumper crowd, but we enjoyed the game
