Scots have reacted with anger as the country's public broadcaster revealed its presenter and punditry line-up for the 2026 Fifa World Cup – with no Scots

They should remember how good Sue Barker was and learn from her.

Laura Robson making quite a few errors as tournament director this year at Queens.

Broadcasting taking up too much of her time and led by others into poor choices?

What does it take to be a tournament director in the UK?

I hope Dan Evan too

Good choices from the LTA.

🚨Micheal Owen on Arsenal fans comparing Mikel Arteta to Jurgen Klopp after winning the Premier League.

🗣️“I think this has to be the dumbest take ever from them, honestly the most useless fan base on earth — comparing Arteta to Klopp is mind blowing and pathetic to say.

What Klopp has done over the years isn’t a joke to any football fan or a pundit, the number of points in the Premier league he pull every season consistently and in the European competition getting to the final many times just from scratch no one expected he could do anything with that level of effort.

I will say he’s a great manager and far better ahead of Arteta any day in his career and in the Premier league precisely.”

🚨 Le footballeur néerlandais Matthijs de Ligt surprend par sa vision de l’argent et du succès :

"En entraînement, je vois mes coéquipiers frimer avec des vêtements à un milliard, des montres de luxe. Un jour, je suis allé au club avec un vêtement très simple, sans marque, et ils m’ont ri au nez en disant : ‘Tu es millionnaire, pourquoi t’habilles-tu comme ça ?’. Je les plains. Parce qu’on ne mesure pas la valeur d’un homme à la taille du logo qu’il porte. Moi, je n’aime pas porter l’argent sur moi, j’investis mon argent dans mon avenir (…)

Ma femme Annekee et moi nous sommes mariés très jeunes parce que plutôt que de chercher des visages faux dans les boîtes de nuit, je préfère rester à la maison à boire un café avec quelqu’un qui m’aime pour ce que je suis".

Cette philosophie, qui tranche avec l’image souvent associée aux stars du football moderne, a été largement saluée sur les réseaux sociaux. 🙏⚽ (via So Foot)

This is Callum Peacock. He battered his girlfriend with a golf club, threw bleach and paint at her, and burned a memorial shirt of her deceased grandmother but has avoided an immediate prison sentence.

The 19-year-old defendant, from St Helens, subjected his partner to a cruel three-hour ordeal inside their home.

Police officers arrived at the flat to find the victim covered in white paint and curled up in a ball on the bathroom floor.

She was audibly sobbing and shrieking through a hole in the door, which was still smouldering and smoking.

During the assault, the teenager hit her with a broom handle and a golf club before putting her in a chokehold from behind.

When she tried to hide in the bathroom, he smashed the door with the golf club and used an aerosol and a lighter to set fire to it.

He then threw dumbbells and a bottle of bleach at her, causing the liquid to splash onto her body.

In what was described in court as an extremely selfish act, he took hold of a memorial t-shirt featuring a photograph of her deceased grandmother.

He set fire to the garment right in front of her while telling her that her nan would rot in hell.

The attack came just two days after another incident where he struck his girlfriend with a hammer following an argument.

Following his arrest, he openly threatened his victim in front of police officers, stating that he was going to smash her face in when he got out.

But he has now walked free from court after a judge handed him an 18-month imprisonment suspended for 18 months.

The court heard he had already spent nearly five months in custody on remand, which the judge noted was the equivalent of a nine-month sentence for a teenager with no previous convictions.

He was also given a five-year restraining order and a rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 20 days.

Another kick in the teeth, metaphorically speaking to the brave young woman who endured his cowardly attacks.

The justice in this country cares more about the accused than the victims.

Crystal Palace star Brennan Johnson has started dating OF actress Lily Phillips, who set a world record last December by sleeping with 101 men in 24 hours...

Imagine the shame of going home to your parents and having to tell them your partner used to play for Tottenham... 🤣

The full UK State Pension is now worth around £12,548 a year. That's less than half the earnings of someone working full-time on the National Minimum Wage, despite many pensioners paying taxes and National Insurance for 40, 50 or even 60 years.

Yet every time the Treasury needs money, the same voices appear demanding the Triple Lock be scrapped.

Why?

State pension spending is forecast at around £154 billion this year, but that supports over 13 million pensioners, many of whom rely on it as their primary income. Meanwhile, billions continue to disappear into failed projects, government waste, bureaucracy, consultants, quangos and policies that deliver little value to ordinary taxpayers.

The Triple Lock isn't some gold-plated luxury. It exists because politicians allowed the State Pension to fall behind for decades. Even today, a full State Pension is barely above the poverty line and is nowhere near a typical working wage.

If politicians want to save money, start with waste, inefficiency and failed spending programmes.

Leave pensioners alone.

They worked, they paid in, they built this country and they deserve dignity in retirement, not another raid on their income.
