As @FallRiverFC returns to the Adelino Gonsalves Field tomorrow, after the last @BayStateSoccer match @FRPS_Durfee, here's a thread on the player for whom the pitch is named.

May 4th, 1145AM
@FallRiverFC
v @BostonSiege
Loc.: Britland Park, @FallRiver_MA

Credit:@EliteSynthetics
Adelino "Billy" Gonçalves holds the all-time record for @OpenCup Final goals.
14-in 1931, 32, 34, 35, 37, 39, 43 & 44.
Only in 3 Finals did he draw a blank.

To compare, no MLS-era player has >2!
To detract, that era's Finals included multi-legs & replays.
thecup.us/2011/09/29/us-…
Adelino was strike-partner with Bert Patenaude for both Club & Country.

Bert achieved a 1st in world Foot-Ball by becoming scoring a Hat-Trick at the inaugural @FIFAWorldCup, in the 1930 Uruguayan tournament.

Gonçalves gained 6 Caps & 1 Goal for @USMNT between 1930 & 1934.
His name later being Anglicised to Gonsalves, "Billy" was Inducted into @SoccerHOF nearly 70 years ago in 1950.

He was still playing @USAdultSoccer even then, despite his last @USMNT Cap coming 16 years prior, last @USOpenCup Final Goal 6 years prior.

The @FallRiver_MA pitch in Britland Park, which now bears the illustrious name of a 1st-generation US-born son of Immigrant descent, that would go on to represent @USMNT at élite @FIFAWorldCup level, was proudly lain by @SprinTurf back in 2013.

When the pitch was re-opened, @GregSullivanHN wrote a brief piece for @HNNow about the $875k facelift which @SoccerHOF-Inductee "Billy's" living memorial had received.

So, that's part of the story behind the venue for @FallRiverFC .v. @BostonSiege.

A dull little thread, to show the hierarchy of Companies making up Anderson's failed #BWFC Group.

@BWFCFans are probably familiar with it & many will be #Burnden Shareholders.

At the top sits :
1. Inner Circle Investments
which owns 94.5% of:
2. Burnden Leisure
Minority Shareholders are owed a Fiduciary Duty.
That Duty is a legal obligation on the Co. & its Dirs.

Sufficient % exists to Call a GM for Burnden Leisure Ltd
That Right's threshold for exercise is 5%

But obvious practical problems, herding 6,267 cats

legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/…
Ken Anderson owns 100% of Inner Circle.

Both its 2 Issued Shares are in hock to Moonshift Investments, controlled by the Trustees of the Estate of Eddie Davies (so Probate &c. is likely also a factor)

The shares secure a £5m Davies-Anderson loan given before the former's death

A third thread taking a retrospective look at the management career of my old Gaffa, Ryan Hindley (RH, aka 'Massive'), following his third resignation in 2 years from @NCEL clubs @HallamFC, @WorksopTownFC & @RMFC1919.

The last ended here :
HFC led from the get-go, winning against some soon-to-be-struggling sides.

Results were later expunged, @LMoorlands resigned @NCEL membership (with just 5 games left), at the very end of the season.

Little remains to record the exertions of hundreds.

1/
16 Aug. 2015 :
LMR 1-4 HFC

Clucas consoled @LMoorlands on 40' with the opener.

Steve Brammer scored on 47' & 79', converting a Penalty in the 90th for a Hat Trick.

Attwell's OG on 66' was for HFC's 2nd.

Far less attended than the 40 told to @NCEL.

2nd thread about my old Gaffa, Ryan Hindley [RH], covering his time in charge @HallamFC1860, @WorksopTownFC & @RMFC1919 after recently standing down from the last.

Following on from here :
(if you missed him kicking it, rather than shouting at it)

12 May 2013 :

HRH 'Massive' with @RoyalEarlFC, made King.
(appointed as Manager)

1/
By Oct.2014 :

HFC were @NCEL-D1's foot.
Rugged-rock-stuck.

No wins in the League.
Worst run of form since the disastrous 1932/33 Season.

Only two wins had been had at all, so far.
One in the Rules Derby in pre-season, against SFC.
t'other in @SHCFA Sheffield Challenge Cup.

Dear parents , when you send your kids ABROAD to study , please check up on them and find out EXACTLY what they are doing , who they are relating with , demand to see transcripts , fee receipts e.t.c and be in constant contact with the institution / teachers . Here is why #Thread
Today , a mother to one of my Ugandan friends who studies around here called me . She was in so much pain , she cried on the phone for hours , she told me she hasn't eaten for days because she has not been in contact with her son.
Her son came here to do Political Science 3 years ago and is supposed to graduate this month . She almost fainted when I revealed to her that her son hasn't been seen anywhere near class for the last 2 years . He ONLY did 1st year of campus . She cried so bitterly , she wept .

1. With the AEC finally confirming registration of Fraser Anning’s Conservative National Party, here’s a #thread on far-right parties in Australia ahead of the federal election #auspol.
2. First, a definition. The most common (but not only) interpretation of ‘far right’ comes from @CasMudde, who distinguishes the far right on the basis of an ideological core of nativism in what is still my favourite book (pictured) on the far right.
3. Mudde describes nativism as: “An ideology, which holds that states should be inhabited exclusively by members of the native group (‘the nation’) and that non-native elements (persons and ideas) are fundamentally threatening to the homogenous nation-state” (2007: 19).

Sam Harris launched a personal attack on me, cynically trying to smear me based on ancient, edited remarks I long ago disowned & have repeatedly regretted/apologized for.

So here's a #thread of 15 years of his own bigoted/offensive remarks that's he's never apologized for:
1/
"It is time we admitted that we are not at war with "terrorism". We are at war with Islam." - Sam Harris, 2004
washingtontimes.com/news/2004/dec/…
2/
"Muslim immigrants often show little inclination to acquire the secular and civil values of their host countries...demanding tolerance for their backwardness, their misogyny, their anti-Semitism..." - Sam Harris, 2004

Here is a #thread on what PMO needs us to believe with their - and Wernick’s - statements about the Dec 19 Wernick-JWR call, about which PMO says it was never briefed (cough):
That the Clerk failed to brief out the one item on his call with JWR (SNC), something the PM was in a mood about, something the PM had spoken to Wernick about that very day. Because holidays.
(This, let’s remember, is the SNC call the PM *asked* the Clerk to make the *day after* PMO (Butts-Telford) hauled in JWR’s chief of staff to tell her to get in line (ie DPA) on SNC)

1st #Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what barriers/challenges have you faced/overcome in your career path?'

Overwhelmingly, discrimination, issues related to being the only woman in their place of work, and childcare were cited most #WomeninSTEM
1. "In several of my positions, I have been the first woman hired. There have been challenges proving that I am as intelligent and capable as my male colleagues. I have faced bias, as well as discrimination in pay and acknowledgment of my capabilities."
2. "I have not had any barrier for being a woman but I think sometime I have created my own barriers: low ambition, being too prudent and now I realize I had to think bigger to achieve bigger things. My main challenge has being to juggle my work and my role as mum of 3 children."

Here’s a #thread about #judges and #judges’ opinions. I don’t want to name names. I’m hoping Twitterland will get the word out. It’s important, to that small audience at least. It’s about a lack of awareness and humility 1/
So there’s this emerging cadre of judges who write opinions that seem clever and erudite and get some adoring attention. But here’s the thing. At a conference of pretty bright academics of various persuasions and we have two things we seem to all think about those opinions 2/
The first is a little catty; the second is deadly serious. They both matter. (And I’m not naming names of judges or academics but you know who you are.) 3/
