Shots from yesterday's sunny @heatonstan.bsky.social victory over @garforthtown.bsky.social thanks to a Dale Pearson goal and some resolute goalkeeping from both keepers.

Shots from @heatonstan.bsky.social v Redcar Athletic, who have a paid media manager but not a BlueSky account. Anyway, despite the result, there was a lot to be positive about, especially given the gulf between the clubs' respective budgets. We start with the @stanarmy.bsky.social getting ready

No Stan game yesterday, so I headed off to Hebburn to enjoy some sun and watch @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social visit the north east

YIUUURRRRSSSSS!

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!

Proper football

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.
