The most heartening conversation of the week was the one between Blackpool team-mates Jake Daniels and Marvin Ekpiteta.
After Daniels revealed himself as the country's first openly gay men's professional footballer, someone with too much time and not enough brains went digging in Ekpiteta's social media history and discovered some homophobic content from when he was 17.
From here the story could have headed south quickly. A day to savour could have turned in to something else altogether.
But, instead, the two men sorted it out between them. Ekpiteta apologised sincerely and Daniels was happy enough with that.
