Thanks very much indeed, Michael!

Thanks!

Great suggestion! 🏅
We do want to diversify our team. I’m all ears!

Ha! At my next appraisal, my professional development plan should include a ninja course, I think.

Either that or a helmet.

Failing that, send me a consent form!

Thanks a lot, John! Much appreciated. At least it’s mainly a multi-colored eye this time. Concussion was definitely worse!

Thanks a lot, Aidan - I really appreciate your kind words. None of us should have to put up with this at work.

Thanks a lot, Stewart

Always .
Last shift I sat down with an upset colleague and counselled them .
The previous shift I broke very bad news to a patient and family .
Later on in that shift an aggressive man triggered my latent PTSD and the team looked after me .
We must take time to be compassionate .

Agreed 💯% - right answer!

Rather than focusing on this, surely the FA should focus on *much* more important equality issues for women’s football, e.g., inequities in:
- Pay
- Media coverage
- Playing surfaces, with - e.g. high rates of ACL injury
- Access to top stadia
- Stereotyping, culture, even assault
