    Behind The Whistle

    Welcome back to another episode of the Upfront and Unfiltered podcast! This week, we had the pleasure of chatting with Tommy Crow, a current referee and former referee development officer. Tommy takes us on a nostalgic journey through his football beginnings in Liverpool, his struggles and triumphs on the Isle of Man, and why he made the switch from player to ref. From the camaraderie of Saturday nights in the pub to the trials of ACL injuries, Tommy's story is an insightful one. He doesn't hold back with his thoughts on refereeing on the island, the Isle of Man FA's approach to it, how it should be  development and the changes he wishes to see on the field. If you've ever wondered what goes on in the mind of a referee, Tommy's honesty will keep you engaged. Whether you're a seasoned footballer, an aspiring referee, or just someone who loves the sport, there's a lot to take away from this chat with Tommy. It’s a blend of humor, honesty, and heartfelt advice from someone who's been in the game for decades. Grab a drink, relax, and enjoy the ride with us!

    This week, we’re diving into the colorful journey of Gary Waitman on the Upfront and Unfiltered podcast. Gary, is the man you've seen snapping away on the sidelines of Manx football games since 2008.

Pull up a seat and listen as Gary shares his earliest memories of football, his brief stints with local clubs, and his enduring love for photography that kept him connected to the game despite physical setbacks. You’ll also hear about the challenging yet rewarding behind-the-scenes efforts that brought FC Isle of Man to life, all while juggling roles bigger than just a photographer. It’s an honest look into how Gary balances his passion for both sports and creativity, encouraging us to appreciate the memories being made with each click of his camera. Trust me, you won't want to miss this conversation.
