Red Bull Salzburg lose Austrian Cup semi final in a deserted Red Bull Arena to a disgraced village side.

Rapid Wien II 1-1 Austria Salzburg FT Cosgun’s early goal not quite enough for all three points in Vienna tonight. Rapid fans with the message “KEEP BOYCOTTING RED BULL” 👏 #svas

#LUFC 0-1 Manchester City: When the sun goes down There was a lot to like about Leeds United vs Manchester City, and enough to leave a sour taste. by @robconlon.bsky.social

Difficult when we're 10% owned by an organisation that actively pushes right wing propaganda. If they voice their racism at the ground then they should be banned. The problem is the normalisation of racist language in society over the last decade has empowered many to be more open in their racism

Yes, the club should investigate and address last night’s reaction as it did the Solomon chants last season, but it remains that Leeds United has intolerance within its ownership and on its shirts. #lufc

After being snowed off at Rapid last week, @austriasalzburg.bsky.social’s season finally resumes on home turf. Florisdorfer, FAC, Team für Wien; whatever you call them, the 5th-placed Viennese fell 2-1 to die Austria in August. Forza Viola! 💜🤍 Kick off 13:30 UK #svas #ligazwa

Some nice words on the book from a satisfied reader. You can be like him: 👇 thesquareball.net/shop/days-of...

Feels to me like someone ought to have written a book about what happened when football embraced crypto the first time round - the fraud, negligence, money laundering - and released it some time ago to avoid these problems happening again. news.sky.com/video/infant...

We made it! Winter break is over! @austriasalzburg.bsky.social are back! Ah fuck. Pitch inspection at Rapid Wien this am, tonight’s game is expected to go ahead 🤞 #svas

As many have said this week, these edgelords are nothing new 🧵 #lufc

5 seconds of shamelessness: This episode had more listeners in its 1st week than any other this season. If only 1/3 of them would rate/star/review The Assistant Professor of Football on Spotify, Apple etc., it would do A LOT to algorithms and reach - and quickly. Please consider! Thank you

I wonder if they, as back in the ‘80s, are trying to recruit from within football - and from lads who dont really know who they are but are desparate to be something. Call this shit out at ER if you see it.

Leeds fans rightly calling out Jim Ratcliffe’s comments may also want to know Leeds United’s co-owners actively enable conspiracy theory and far-right ideology #lufc

Leeds United fiction Available to buy from @thesquareball.net Some kind comments fed back to me about the book in recent weeks (in the interests of balance, there have been no bad comments, yet) : “The characters have stayed with me…” “Compelling authenticity…” (1/5)

Pep was deeply aware of these geopolitical realities years ago. It is great that he is saying this, and also: the lever that he is pulling now, given his unique status in the world's more powerful sport, would have shifted far, far more of the crucial discourse if he had pulled it back then.

Oppose Trump on how Europe is "unrecognisable" and "going to hell"? Then oppose Red Bull GmbH, whose Austrian channel ServusTV consistently pushes this narrative while being sponsors/co-owners of Leeds United. #lufc

Great conversation here for any Leeds fans interested in @austriasalzburg.bsky.social before, during and after Red Bull GmbH tried to destroy the club in 2005. 💜🤍 #svas #lufc

Back from skiing. Not in #Salzburg or #Austria - but you can travel there today. You'll just need to swap the skis for a ball, and trust our alpine guest professor, Stefan Wally. tinyurl.com/bdfhkprc

When you've written non-fiction all your life it is a huge leap to writing something that is 100% from your own head. Self-publishing a novel makes me feel vulnerable and exposed and I can't be 100% confident in what I've produced. So comments like these are lovely thesquareball.net/shop/days-of...

Thanks @btngnrtn.bsky.social and amazing work on the cover. This is a hugely personal project, but one I hope will resonate with Leeds fans of all stripes. Thanks for the support from all who have bought it so far ✊️#lufc
