Some thoughts on the increasing embellishment I’m seeing on socials from people working in media…

We’ve got to the point where some football fans don’t understand that there is a minute’s silence once the last post has finished.

Cavendish x Rudravajhala 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏾💪 Two of sport’s biggest names (one an icon, the other with a 12 letter surname). A real pleasure to sitdown with Mark Cavendish today as he releases his new book, Believe, which I’ve really bloody enjoyed. Coming soon to Sky Sports.

Back on Football Weekly - on Celtic, Rodgers and an EFL Special! @footballweekly.bsky.social @maxrushden.bsky.social @benfisherj.bsky.social @georgeelek.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/aud... #efl

⚽ EFL Football Weekly ⚽ 😱 Brendan Rogers resigns and Martin O'Neill takes temporary charge of Celtic. 🦉 Sheffield Wednesday have been placed into administration. 🫡 The panel roundup the latest across the EFL. @maxrushden.bsky.social @benfisherj.bsky.social , @sannyr.com , @georgeelek.bsky.social

Celtic in crisis: Brendan Rodgers resigns. Celtic announced late last night that their manager, Brendan Rodgers, had resigned from his post. The club then released another statement, this time by the club’s main shareholder. What now? @maxrushden.bsky.social @sannyr.com @georgeelek.bsky.social

Bloody hell 🎂

'If you behave like Alexander Isak, you get what you want. Or if you don’t, and you’re the perfect professional, you don’t get what you want.' Is bad behaviour rewarded while professional behaviour is seemingly punished? @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @sannyr.com

‘He is the first Sikh to ever manage in professional football. He’s the highest ranked British Asian manager in the top five leagues.’ Ashvir Singh Johal becomes the first Sikh to manage a British professional football side. @maxrushden.bsky.social @sannyr.com

At Newcastle United, a lot of #nufc fans I’ve spoken to can see a way back for Alexander Isak… if he apologies. More on Sky Sports News this afternoon (no I’ve not just stayed on the car park roof for this!)

“I’d be homeless without Derek Adams.” One anonymous member of staff told me this after the now sacked Morecambe manager had paid their rent whilst they went without wages. Panjab Warriors can do as they wish now they own the club, but Adams’ contributions go beyond the pitch.

Football is incredible. Morecambe moments away from going bust and expulsion from the National League. They’re finally taken over by Panjab Warriors and have a match on Saturday with a handful of players, First act of the new owners? Sacking manager Derek Adams.

It is mental that if you’re a woman, you’ve got to hurdle harassment to go for a jog. 18 arrests in a month at rush hour for offences inc harassment, sexual assault and theft. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It’s more than 90 minutes. It’s more than banter and online memes. Doesn’t matter whether you’re Premier League or division 8. Morecambe - suspended from the National League. Today, Bury FC are letting every Shrimps fan in for free. One community coming together for another.

Why I’m backing Coventry, got an eye on Will Still, and an apology to Wrexham… The Championship kicks off this weekend. Here’s a big preview with hot takes to boot. 📰 @fotmob.com www.fotmob.com/topnews/2240...

Mad that Everton’s new stadium is served by a train station with the capacity of a minibus.

Morecambe FC run out of cash today. And even now, staff who aren’t even getting paid are making sure everyone is looked after. Reporting here for Sky Sports News - and by the way, the spread here is better than we get at loads of bigger clubs higher up the food chain.

Anyone know who sponsors the Tour de France Femmes? #tdff2025

I cannot believe the bunch didn’t sit up when Kim Le Court went down. I know it’s not a three week tour and there’s not enough stages to throw time away, and there was a break up the road… but that’s the yellow jersey on the floor! #tdff #tdff2025

Getting my teaching materials ready early! Match preview: Salford - Crewe - BBC 5 Live Sport. Will use this as one example at @salforduni.bsky.social when I start as a Teaching Fellow on our BA Sports Journalism course in September!

Sick to death of throwaway, landfill sports content. This rabid desire to chase views/clicks on the superficial, for what? Real storytelling cuts through - journalism connects. My Morecambe piece + posts has 2m views on Twitter. Our Guardian pod on them & SWFC is UK no2. We can do better.

Morecambe FC to shut down and cease all football ops at all levels by end of week. Joint statement from minority shareholders and Panjab Warriors:

What’s really sad is the kids in Cardiff and the rest of the UK won’t grow up watching the Tour any more. From now on, it’s behind a paywall, despite even starting in the UK in 2027.

My god. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This is the only way Visma can beat Pogacar - Vingegaard being brave and the rest of his team absolutely putting themselves into the ground. #TDF2025
