Things in the UK are opening up. My amateur football league restarted at the weekend. Pubs and restaurants can open outdoor areas from next Monday. My kids favourite soft play place opens next Monday.

Progress may be slower than many would like, and the UK government has made a hash of the whole situation, with only the vaccine rollout being done well, but it is a cast iron fact that things are on their way back to normal.

The latest lockdown worked out quite well for me football wise. I suffered a bad knee injury in October, which has only really finished healing in the last month or so. So the season being postponed from December to now means I get to play all the football I would have missed.

See @FlatErik , it's not all bad!

In fact, I played 3 matches at the weekend and have one tonight, which will be the most football I've played in a week for decades.

I had to pull out of 5 aside last night, ahead of playing tonight. Saturday's games were a double header, 2 fixtures against one oppo, each match reduced to an hour. Very competitive against the league leaders and a real battle for me at 46 against some very handy 20 somethings.

Sunday was a Vets game, against poor opposition, so was a bit of a stroll

Used to always get mad results in a double header. 0-0 the first game , 2-6 in the second 😆

I'm secretary of my football club and the admin for the current situation is a nightmare. I had 4 double headers and one single game on Saturday and 1 vets game on Sunday, so had 10 squads to enter into the FA system, along with marks for referees, oppos, facilities etc for all ten fixtures
