I did a preview with the fine chaps from the DNSYE Watford podcast about the upcoming boycott - why, what it means (especially for away fans) & the potential helplessness of the modern football fan. youtu.be/A1I8QWY4tVI?...

…or lunch as I call it…

VAR needs to be binned now. Disgraceful decision.

I’m now in favour of a “They Shoot Horses Don’t They” style ending to this game… #Rovers

Whenever & wherever people talk about crime & punishment, one of the punishments to be considered should be making criminals watch this on a loop… #Rovers

Everyone involved in this cup tie should locked in a room & made to think about what they’ve done…when they are prepared to apologise. We let them out… #Rovers

Stockley Park - the VAR period drama coming to ITV 1

Party lines. An eavesdropper’s wet dream…😆

If a new app was produced which had, as its core features, the generation of sexual deep fake images of children and calls for a violent global far-right revolution, then not only would it be swiftly banned, but you wouldn't have a single mainstream politician willing to associate themselves with it

Cannot imagine anyone vaguely normal, professionally, or even just as a fan, going to the US for The World Cup

Always great fun to record these pods…

Happy 50th birthday, Ripping Yarns! The comedy anthology created by Michael Palin and Terry Jones began #OTD in 1976 with the pilot episode. A few years ago I sought the views of Sir Michael and superfan @johnofarrell.bsky.social: www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/si... @radiotimes.bsky.social

The last 10 minutes of Leeds v Man U has been gloriously bonkers…

One of things my bank has always made clear - they will *never* call me If they need to speak to me, they text to say 'please call us on the fraud number' - they don't provide a link or a phone number, so you are the one in control So I know anyone calling claiming to be my bank is a scam

what’s my Favourite Far Side gag you say? why this… ( it was a challenge writing the alt text for this 😂)

Gary Larson's groundbreaking, utterly inimitable “The Far Side" first appeared 45 years ago, on January 1, 1980. Everyone has a favorite—what’s yours?

One year since I posted this. One year since everybody treated it like a joke. One year of watching my back. Tell me: have you seen much of Harry Styles this past year? Tim Davie's gone a bit quiet too, hasn't he?

The last team to win the top flight English title (Football League & Premier League), without a badge on their shirt, was Everton in 1970.

Congratulations Yorkshire, every last one of you.

Chris Kamara once held the lift door open for me to get in at the Paphos Amathus Hotel in Cyprus. Unbelievable Jeff etc & so on.

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

@ianherbert95.bsky.social Merry Christmas 🎅
