An addition to my postcard collection featuring #referees. From the 1910s, it does a good job showing the kit refs wore and that postcards had a hand in normalising the notion of the referee as the butt end of abuse, rightly or wrongly.

We stopped by this afternoon to see how Shawn Sharpe is getting on with his latest creation - Our Edith.
He is hoping to get it finished during Friday and the
latest section of the mural incorporates people of
Preston who stopped by to see Shawn during Thursday as he sprayed. 🎨

Just awaiting the rest of the bridge structure before it is hoisted into position later on this Autumn. The new bridge is due to be finished by Spring 2026.

My first academic publication on soccer and politics is out! It lays out the basics of my theoretical framework of “soccer as civil society” and argues that this is threatened by “modern football” through the tandem of “illiberalism” and “neoliberalism”.
