This is regressive Türkiye twice lost 8-0 to England in qualifiers in the 80s & now qualify regularly In 1969 Cyprus conceded 20 goals in consecutive qualifiers to Sco & Ger but are competitive these days www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Thought Buendía and Ben-Gvir was same person this whole time. Guess Villa will have the final solution completed in the next forty minutes. 😂 #avfc

New: DR Congo cancel pre-WC camp in Kinshasa due to Ebola outbreak & now meet in Belgium. Spokesperson tells The Athletic no players have returned to nation. U.S says no access if been to DRC in last 21 days. FIFA monitoring. Free read ⬇️ @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/729...

"...Players selected to take part in Friday’s opening press conference at Roland Garros will walk out after 15 minutes, symbolising that the slams allocate an average of 15% of their revenues to prize money. The rest of the draw will refuse to conduct additional interviews."

Dynamic 9 who can make a lot of breaks around the ruck? Fuck it, I'm in.

This was Paul Farmer's last book before his untimely death. It paints the picture of how neglect, violence, and greed set the stage for the most devastating #Ebola outbreak in history. It deeply moved me and made more committed to making justice central to my work. Now is a great time to read it.

Ebola Unlikely To Cause Anyone Any Harm, Say White People

Families in Mongbwalu grieve as Ebola returns, exposing serious gaps in healthcare and outbreak preparedness.

40 Ebola outbreaks since 1976 with 17 of them being in DRC Congo with the Bundibugyo strain being known of since 2007 with another outbreak in 2012 and we still don't have a vaccine. The apathy and normalisation of ill health and deaths of African people in the West will never fail to astound me.

Liverpool tops a War on Want ranking of Premier League clubs for their links to Israel's role in the Palestinian genocide. With Arsenal & Spurs in second, Man United & Man City in third, with Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Everton & Fulham in fourth, the list exposes deeply concerning conplicity. #lfc

It will be 10 years, next year. Swift justice.

A three-month investigation by The Weekend Australian has uncovered an alarming number of former Newcastle Knights champions suffering early-onset dementia as well as serious concerns from their families & a top neurologist about the research protocols of the NRL-funded study.

FA claims ‘no proof’ that heading causes long-term brain damage | Governing body accused of acting like ‘Big Tobacco’ in denying link, despite leading authority on #CTE saying evidence is ‘overwhelming’ @telegraph.co.uk www.telegraph.co.uk/football/202...

Had a really up and down time with Cardiff City over the years but what a season to go out on as all the awards show. Just as we get a good enough chant going for him as well. Won't be a shortage of clubs snapping him for sure. Deserves every success.

The protest comes after Israeli forces intercepted the last remaining vessel sailing towards the besieged Gaza Strip.

Someone suggested, and I like, the idea of a NRL MND round, as long as the profits go to Fight MND and the Carl Webb Foundation. Probably best that it's Vegas too, since that's the one that gets most eyes on it too.

On the Southampton charges: is it possible that Hull can automatically go up and Southampton just pays all the money that EFL's lost as a fine considering a final won't take place? Don't know the laws well enough but that seems the most fair outcome to me.

“This scoping review highlights a plausible association between repeated physical trauma in sport and MND/ALS, particularly in professional sports with high exposure to repeated head impacts.” bjsm.bmj.com/content/earl...

30 fucking years of age. Fucking hell, mun. #mnd

Thanks Pep. Now I got Declan Rice's face projected onto our bedroom wall for an entire season now. Prick. 😂 #afc

"For years, rugby authorities have tried to delay this case, not caring about the distress this is causing to those who have already suffered because of their failures. [...] they are resorting to these tactics to delay the claimants their route to justice."

Bet Haaland would score more if he put his hair up properly too.

What disgusts me most about this whole Southampton thing mind is the fact that he was put in that position most certainly by Eckhert or someone higher. Being an intern means doing whatever it takes to get a foot in the door & they fully took advantage of their power there, proper exploited him.

You know what actually, four points is wild and all. Relegate Southampton on principle for ever spying on Oxford. Embarrassing, mun. Even less dignity than we all they have now. Should be beating them with eyes closed.

Seriously though, just scrap it, let Hull go up, they've been preparing for Saints, don't see why they should be punished. At least move it again, give them more time to train for different team.

EFL is so messy. It’s beautiful.

The media line that “there’s no treatment for this species of Ebola” is very unhelpful for general audiences because it naturalises African deaths. There is no specific treatment, yes, but with supportive treatment available in all rich countries, case fatality is near 0%. This was preventable.

An investment by UEFA’s ethics body into Petr Vlachovsky - the former Czech Republic coach convicted of secretly filming 14 players - has banned him for life from any football-related activities. They have requested FIFA extend the ban to worldwide & to revoke his licence. @emsandersbbc.bsky.social

'Rats are eating our food': Palestinians describe harrowing conditions in Gaza camp - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/rats-are-eating-our-food-palestinians-describe-harrowing-conditions-gaza

Vital report from War on Want today exposes nine Premier League clubs - Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Man United, Liverpool & Spurs and others - for their own complicity in Israel's genocide on Palestine by taking sponsorships, sacking and banning pro-Palestine staff & fans & owner's direct ties.

Enhanced Games: Boxing Edition.

Met Police will ask the CPS to consider charging up to 57 people & 20 companies over the Grenfell Tower fire Alleged offences include corporate & gross negligence manslaughter, misconduct in public office & fraud 72 people were killed in the disaster

Cutting tracking programmes and aid and allowing COVID, a virus that can weaken people's immunological defences & shares some of the effects of Ebola itself to spread globally is looking like a brilliant idea now, ain't it? #idsky

Gaza aid flotilla organisers say 41 boats intercepted, 10 still sailing https://aje.news/l5q517

Back to backs and no Welsh derbies after January 2nd? Joke league we're in, aye.

As the self appointed chairperson of the Declan Rice Hate Club who needs Arsenal to bottle the league more than anything, that Kai Havertz tackle was a yellow. Maybe a yellow and a half or sin bin if that were possible but never a red.

Medical staff on the front lines of Ebola outbreak have run out or are running out of PPE. Meanwhile, in Canada, Dr Bonnie Henry has been having tantrums about the inconvenience of having to wear PPE while sitting on a national stockpile. Absolutely fucking sickening to me, honestly.

Seeing lot people saying how they're freezing tits off like it's Decdmber when it's June soon. Literally not though, sat here with two fans & dehumidifier between two of us. What do we reckon, temperature dysregulation for a big bit of population now? Seeing people out with big coats on still too.

Everyone saying Pep leaving cos charges are just being disingenuous. Football cost him his marriage, did it not occur to you that he's spent this time since the divorce reflecting on his behaviour & maybe it's enough for him now? Maybe he's tired? Dunno, man. Don't like the cynicism at all. #mcfc

Always on the right side of history. #mcfc

Nowt lazier than journalists who use AI. Literally shouldn't be allowed to be published If you do. If you're gonna use it, at least reword a few things, edit it a bit and not just fully copy and paste whatever it is but nobody can even be assed to do that. Disgraceful, proper stealing a living.

Player voice is important, of course but there is a difference between listening to players & running a sort of underperforming sporting democracy in which everyone gets a say despite the recurring evidence that almost nobody involved is currently operating at elite international standard. Spot on.

Put it through Archive PH. Mark Bonnick's words deserve to be read. "I brought up how Professor David Miller at Bristol University was sacked for expressing similar beliefs & one of those at the hearing said “Well, he’s an academic”. As if I was just a thick kitman & couldn’t have an opinion." #afc

Flagged as an automated AI bot by Twitter cos I keep running into their new limits somehow. To be fair though, everyone always does say that I'm just a shit imitation of a functioning human. Guess the internet's just now starting to catch on. 😂

Massive. That Irish charm working wonders. Really not used to Cardiff being this organised and proactive, fairplay.

Dr Margaret Connolly, the sister of President Catherine Connolly, is among a number of Irish citizens detained by Israeli forces after a Gaza-bound aid flotilla was intercepted in the Mediterranean this morning, organisers have said. jrnl.ie/7043338

A Welsh government, carrying out its affairs in the Welsh language for the first time since the 15th century. Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth.

If this were labourers moaning about hard hats & steel cap boots, roofers harnesses, radiologists lead based aprons and thyroid shields, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Workplace safety equipment ain't optional. Illnesses don't care, nor do I. Put it on or lose your job. #medsky #idsky

Actually needs to be so much more of this and much more taking it higher and suing workplaces for not giving people safe working environments, if need be.

Anyone moaning about Ponga v Walsh, ain't watched enough Knights games. Absolutely deserved, Walsh ain't been at the levels he was last year neither.
