Garbage. They spend about 10 seconds having a quick glance and their mind is made up. Intent is nothing to do with it, but if it was the fact that he is only intending to foul Barry is a shit excuse. And they are not ‘involved in a duel’ www.skysports.com/football/vid...

If a Green candidate called for Jews to be melted down and used to fill pot holes, Keir Starmer would call a Cobra meeting and proscribe the Green Party, but a Reform candidate can say that about Nigerians and silence. This is what we mean when we say there is a racism hierarchy.

Abso-fucking-lutely true. The premier league is a scripted reality TV product, not a sporting event.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

@fccommunity.bsky.social lost their cup match against Maghull FC Ladies on Sunday 2-3. It was a tight match which could have gone either way. Here's some pictures, with another set in a reply. As you can see the weather was changeable - I found quite challenging to get good photos

A small section of a Pictish fort near the river Spey in the Scottish Highlands - yes it's not in great condition but considering it's probably about 1500 years old it's not too bad #AlphabetChallenge #WeekOforOld

The Allerton Oak for #ThickTrunkTuesday. Thick indeed, it's girth is 18ft. Fenced in and propped up for support, but so would you be if you were over a thousand years old. #WeekOforOld #AlphabetChallenge Said to produce over 100,000 acorns per year, I can't vouch for that I haven't counted them

🇸🇦 Officially, the Saudi league is called the Roshn Saudi Pro League. But what is Roshn? It's a construction company, obviously state-owned, that has a crucial role in Vision 2030. Learn more in the new issue of THE BEAUTIFUL SHAME: open.substack.com/pub/pallonat...

There's much faux outrage from certain public figures about Winston Churchill being replaced by a beaver, etc, but where were these 'patriots' when John McEnroe appeared on our £10 notes?

With the way Laura Kuenssberg, Chris Mason and Robert Peston play stenographer, it's as if Fabrizio Romano were Britain's most senior sports journalist.

I went to watch FC Community of Liverpool on Sunday at Admiral Park They started slowly and went 1 down but worked their way back into it in the 2nd half and ended up comfy 4-1 winners

I’m seeing this game differently to most toffees on here. I think deciding to play your best defenders and keep it tight away from home versus one of the slickest passing teams in the league is good tactics. And I can imagine us nicking the win.

Seems the injury to Havertz was worse than first reported. Fair play to the oft maligned #Arsenal medical team though, if they can get him on the pitch for the second half of the season that could be huge #resurrection
