Bannon and Chomsky snapped by Epstein well after Epstein’s conviction. Meanwhile, the jawbreaker gag is horribly metaphoric

Interesting, from the 2nd piece... "Bannon also revealed the Senate Intelligence Committee spent fifteen minutes quizzing him about Epstein. Whatever else was said behind those closed doors of the Senate Intelligence Committee, it is clear Epstein understood that his own legal exposure ...1/

Happy birthday football!🎂 201 years ago today, on 11 December 1824, the world's first football club was founded in Edinburgh. The players hired a field, bought a ball, set up goalposts and continued to play regularly for almost two decades. More: www.scottishsporthistory.com/sports-histo...

The full story of the world's first football club, founded #OTD in 1824 in Edinburgh, is told in this ground-breaking book. Price now just £10, post free, and available worldwide: www.amazon.co.uk/Worlds-First...

1 of 4 #scotsfoundedfootball Part 1 of 2 OTD 1886 Arsenal’s first fixture was played against Eastern Wanderers at Millwall. Arsenal won 6-0. David Danskin played and was captain. That is David Danskin from Fife. The #scotchprofessor was establishing another world-famous club.

2 of 4 Danskin worked at the Royal Ordnance Factory, Woolwich in the south-east of London. The history of southern English football is a story within a story. It is the tale of clubs being founded and then hobbled by the amateur dafties at headquarters. Arsenal were amateurs by compulsion.

3 of 4 They played Derby County in the English Cup 17 Jan 1891. About 8,000 watched. Arsenal lost 2-0. Derby County tried to sign three players from Arsenal after the game. One of them was the #scotchprofessor Peter Connolly from Kirkcaldy. Why wouldn’t you? Amateurs have no contracts.

4 of 4 So what? Arsenal went professional. They became a limited company in 1893. The London FA (the real one - founders Charles Alcock and Lord Kinnaird) took notice. Arsenal moved to the EFL Div 2 in 1894. A southern island in Midlands and Northern football. Others were to take the hint.

Who does she think she is.

1 of 4 #scotsfoundedfootball I have mentioned the IFAB in recent tweets. Now let us examine the disaster that was 1886. Scotland got their two handed throw-in, in any direction, but had to give up the 2 person offside. A mistake, of epic proportions. Throw-ins are for a technical infringement.

2 of 4 How was it a disaster? Who wants to die in the ditch for their particular type of throw-in? Of much greater importance was the 2 v 3 person offside argument. It produced two different types of football. Individualistic dribbling v Scientific Combination. The #scotchprofessor lost.

3 of 4 With two players for offside, there was a balance between defence and attack. The #scotchprofessor could attack the one outfield player and have a fair chance their Combination Game would result in a shot. With two outfield men, the task was harder. History showed 3 men to be a cul-de-sac.

4 of 4 So what? Solution? Punt the ball forward for the ‘big man’ to knock down. Wingers ran in front of play - pulling the ball back with a cross. Big unit football. The antithesis of the Scottish Game. Intelligent football packed its bags and emigrated to Central Europe and South America.

It is the latest success in a big game for Hearts and McInnes. Since the start of the season, they have beaten Aberdeen, Celtic, Hibs and Rangers. And Celtic again. ✍️ @sked21.bsky.social 🔹Big-game Hearts and why their bubble hasn't burst in title challenge 🔗 onlrl.co/mk1ks3
