Keeper of the faith

The thoughts, worries and general ramblings of the dad (and coach) of a grassroots football goalkeeper.

  • Home
  • 1 – Moving on up
  • 2 – An evening to forget
  • 3 – More of the same?
  • 4 – Double header
  • 5 – From lad to dad to coach
  • 6 – Confidence is everything
  • 7 – How much is too much? (or too little)
  • 8 – Playing the long game (not literally)
  • 9 – Times have changed
  • 10 – Getting kitted out
  • 11 – Make a ‘things to do’ list
  • 12 – History repeating itself, or just improving itself?
  • 13 – The other side
  • 14 – Friends reunited
  • 15 – See all, hear all, say nowt…unless it’s positive
  • 16 – No win situation?
  • 17 – It’s nice to hear
  • 18 – Highs and lows
  • 19 – Grassroots, Development, Academy…
  • 20 – Can we play you every week?
  • 21 – From hero to… well, you know the rest.
  • 22 – At a crossroads
  • 23 – It’s all academic
  • 24 – Trials and paper trails
  • 25 – Tears and tears
  • 26 – As one door closes…
  • 27 – Smart clothes, smart saves
  • 28 – Finding his feet
  • 29 – Different teams, same worries
  • 30 – In the firing line
  • 31 – Give us a break. (But not too long)
  • 32 – All keepers are equal. But some are more equal than others.
  • 33 – Lockdown downtime
  • 34 – New season, very different preparations
  • 35 – Enjoy the game. Or not.
  • 36 – All good things…
  • 37 – Isolated on the pitch, isolated at home
  • 38 – The end is in sight (touch wood, fingers crossed)
  • 39 – A familiar face
  • 40 – Clean sheets, captaincy and compliments
  • 41 – Out of the blue (& orange)
  • 42 – Men on the pitch. Kids in the stand.
  • 43 – A break in play
  • 44 – The one constant
  • 45 – The Clegg Shield
  • 46 – Just a little bit off the top
  • 47 – South Yorkshire to South Africa
  • 48 – Senior moments
