@chriswathan.bsky.social great to chat to you last night Chris Not much Christmas cheer but let’s hope for a miracle…

NEW: If you have *any* interest in the Nathan Gill story, you need to look at this. We’ve put all the dates into a timeline & it’s incredibly revealing. 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/nathan-gil...

Not letting Newport County spoil my weekend away

Back from a pretty miserable day in Shrewsbury following Newport County. Abject performance, the manager had to go but I can’t help feel sorry for him. This is arguably the worst squad in our history (and we’ve had some bad ones!). I can’t see anyone getting a tune of of them and this is on Jenkins

This is my latest novel. (It almost killed me.) One person who reposts this extract www.tom-cox.com/granny-kettl... will receive a signed hardback AND one of these fab original linocuts You might like it if you like: Folklore Old buildings Friendship Records The power & magic of landscape ..

Can’t help feel that this is a pivotal moment for Newport County. Failure to significantly strengthen the squad today and then get a result on Saturday might be terminal for the HJ project #UTC

Fabulous night in the Glantaff at Quakers Yard. Superb food and beer and it has to be in the top 5 pubs I’ve ever been too. Absolutely superb

A few huge shifts put in last night by some key County players. Townsend, Thomas, Mecca, Baker, CBR absolutely outstanding. Not pretty but hopefully those two wins will breed some confidence #UTC

Unbelievably frustrating result again for @newportcounty.bsky.social

This is unrivalled in world football @themartyrs.bsky.social

Back to @themartyrs.bsky.social today for my football fix. Tough game against Dorchester…another team with a great stadium for this level and a place I’ve been to many times to watch the County. Really enjoying this level of football this year

Frustrating night at Rodney Parade. County played so well first half and should have gone in 2 up at least. Mistakes in the 2nd half cost us and we lost all confidence. You do feel that the lack of experience in the squad is costing us

County well on top creating chance after chance but can’t score

Lush to be back home @newportcounty.bsky.social

Can’t help feeling that these next two fixtures are massive for Newport County A couple of good results and I think we’ll have a comfortable and enjoyable 2nd half of the season. 2 defeats and we’re looking over our shoulder nervously with our inexperienced squad. Fingers crossed for a win tonight

@themartyrs.bsky.social 2 Gloucester 2 Tight game, dramatic finish and big crowd. Fantastic afternoon out

Plenty of Newport County fans spotted on the terraces of @themartyrs.bsky.social today. Great to see, looking like it’s going to be a big crowd

Back to @themartyrs.bsky.social today for my New Year football fix. There was a time when I was a kid when Newport AFC v Merthyr felt bigger than El Classico but I’ve grown to absolutely love going to Merthyr and never miss an opportunity if Newport County are away or not playing

Cracking afternoon at penydarren park today. Very entertaining game and a great win for @themartyrs.bsky.social Impressive crowd too

Cracking crowd at Merthyr Town today, fair play

Really looking forward to going to watch Merthyr Town today. Great to see them flying and I’m sure it’ll be a big crowd

And we can score penalties @newportcountyafc.bsky.social Christmas has come early this year

Is this the day that we’ll look back on and say “That’s when Jardimball first really clicked”? #ncafc 🧡🖤

Can’t make the @newportcountyafc.bsky.social game today - what the hell is going on?!! #UTC

Shout out to @themartyrs.bsky.social for smashing Poole 6-1 after being 1 down at HT. Turning into one hell of a season

Another decent away point for @newportcountyafc.bsky.social yesterday. Just need to turn a few of these draws into wins and we’ll fly up the table. Been a tough run of games lately and plenty of home games to come in the 2nd half of the season

Brilliant result in the end for @newportcountyafc.bsky.social last night. Even found a penalty taker!
