Decided to give watching live football a miss after being subjected to dreadful matches and incompetent officiating with interminable delays. Never happier 🤔... doubtful I will waste my time with it any further. Each to their own and respect to those persevering... just no longer for me. 😀

The Manchester derby, neutered by corporate incompetence and nation state cynicism, is what happens when football is secondary to the big sell. The PL, VAR and all, has lost its soul.

Well said. Worth watching and sharing.

Bankrobber by The Clash, released by CBS in 1980.

@earacherecords.bsky.social Great album and fantastic gig in Glasgow last Monday. Well worth a purchase 🎸👍

Thanks once again to the amazing Glasgow Barrowland audience. I'm always moved every year. Your blood is worth bottling!

@chelseafancast.bsky.social Agree with @grocerjack.bsky.social Mr Maresca is our worst manager in modern memory. Dreadful football, gaslit condescending interviews and negative, fear fuelled tactics.

White Riot, the debut 45 from The Clash, was released by CBS 48 years ago today.

At no 8 in the UK album chart currently....can heartily recommend buying a copy! Once again, cheers for a great show in Glasgow this evening 🎸

Hanx to @stifflittlefingers.bsky.social @jakeburnsslf.bsky.social & Ricky Warwick & The Fighting Hearts for a great nights entertainment #SLF 🎸🔥👍

Charles Rogers has been whitewashed off the DOD website because of abhorrent incels who fear their own insignificance. Please, share his face & his Medal of Honour citation far & wide. My substack tomorrow will be on minorities and women who have won it because I’m furious achurchill.substack.com

Quick spin in the washing machine and we're good to go! 🔥 (When you're into your 60's and still loving live music 🎵🎸🎤) @stifflittlefingers.bsky.social @jakeburnsslf.bsky.social

No player has committed more errors leading to an opposition shot than Robert Sanchez (8) in the Premier League this season. 🥴 #ARSCHE

Good morning Glasgow 🎵 time for @stifflittlefingers.bsky.social and @jakeburnsslf.bsky.social plus Ricky Warwick to enjoy our hospitality this evening! 🔥🎸

More joy free than care free these days. Increasingly difficult to bond with a player trading commodity business. I have better things to do with my spare time.

Absolutely dire fare.

If Sanchez is the answer wtf was the question? 😱⚽

4am formula 1 🏎️ Sunday football most of the day ⚽ followed by @stifflittlefingers.bsky.social tomorrow for the annual St Patrick's day shenanigans 🔥 plus the wonderful bonus of Ricky Warwick on stage too. Happy days.

Ferrari gamble backfired 🏎️ but the race was compelling enough for a 4am watch. Onto first half of the Glasgow derby before watching the Chels from behind the couch ⚽🫣

Anthony Hamilton consoling the unfortunate Hadjar...top class. #F1

Congratulations Chelsea women's team, League Cup winners 2025! ⚽🏆 (Pass some of that Champions mentality to the men please 🤞)

Goalless and clueless. #cfc

Connor Gallagher just confirming what most of us knew with this performance at the top European table. ⚽💪

Postman just dropped this off 👍🎵... looking forward to hearing the whole thing.

All the best to @stifflittlefingers.bsky.social @jakeburnsslf.bsky.social kicking off the tour tonight 🔥

Many happy returns to Chelsea Football Club ⚽ #KTBFFH #UTC

Sanchez? 🫣

The Maresca derby on Sunday. One set of supporters not fussed about losing him, the other ambivalent (being generous) with his appointment. Common ground regarding his playing style being suffocating and boring. Let's hope for an uncharacteristic firecracker of a game shall we? ⚽🤔 #cfc #ktbffh

Chelsea win but do not pass the eye test. ⚽👀 #cfc #utc

I am yet to see what the hype over Colwill is about.

Reece buys a ticket for the raffle and.....wey hey! ⚽

Copenhagen playing the classic sit deep lads and wait for the error... it's Chelsea.

In the wonderful TV programme "Yes Minister" The Chelsea team selection would be commented upon thus. "That's a very brave choice Minister." Let's see how it all pans out. #ktbffh #utc

Big Bob Sanchez in line to start versus Copenhagen 😱 me being old school I prefer a clear first choice between the sticks. However given our current options I'd say that the Smiths had it right. "What difference does it make"🎵🎵 #utc #cfc

After a stress free weekend Chelsea wise ⚽ it's back to hoping for a return to form this week. As always for the Chels, ensuring a run of victories before facing the Arsenal feels vital. Fingers crossed 🤞🙏⚽ #utc #cfc

Almost that time again Glasgow! From being a kid at the Apollo to still burning now, can't wait 🔥🔥🔥 🍀 #slf #strummer

PREMIERE!! A new series (and my favourite thumbnail ever). Everyone has a 😈 nemesis. But how can you adjust without losing your tactical identity? First episode is from my current save. Thereafter...I want 🫵 your submissions! RTs appreciated. Link in the thread below 👇

A win, four goals and a clean sheet with the caveat that opposition was very poor. Important to build upon the positives. Here's hoping. #cfc #utc

Chelsea Pravda placing team bonding stories in the media. Eye test recent games and the evidence is clear that team spirit is poor. Palmer and Nkunku is the most obvious disconnect. Body language and behaviour when under pressure from too many is lacking. No senior players to lead. #cfc #utc

Both Strasbourg and Bournemouth have goalkeepers with basic competence. Chelsea are constructed by over promoted SD's who are out of their depth. A complete disgrace.

These manager press conferences are now a complete waste of time. Journalists fail to ask any questions bordering on the insightful or probing. Supporters are being treated with arrogant contempt by club and press alike. Fan media sources provide better opinion and honest praise/criticism. #cfc

Veiga now playing like prime Beckenbauer as the bianconeri go 1-0 up. 🥴... what do I know 🫣

Renato Veiga has Juventus fans asking wtf?! Who signed this guy? with a rather uncomfortable first 45 minutes. Not a centre half on this showing.

Cesc has Como 2-0 up away at Fiorentina... just saying 🤔⚽

David Moyes 👏👏👏...proper manager ⚽ Following Sir Alex at Man Utd could have finished many a career.

The Pravda match report on the club website is ludicrous gas lighting. Mitoma took the goal well but "goal of the season contender" is just absolute bollocks. The harsh reality is that this squad is nowhere near Premier league standard. Go now. #clearlakeout

Enzo Maresca vs Thomas Tuchel talking about trophies and the Champions League. #CFC

Clearlake claim Chelsea was not well run under the previous regime. Furthermore, European football, according to Clearlake, is around 20 years behind data driven US sport. Tuchel was dispensed with, Poch had clearly had enough and now look. Fraudulent imposters, enough is enough. 🤡

Enough is enough - time to go 😎

How Colwill keeps getting selected this season is beyond me.
