'VAR was supposed to give on-field referees an extra pair of eyes to sense-check their calls. Instead, we seem to have doubled up on errors and time-wasting.'

🛑 We've had enough - VAR has failed the Premier League, writes @kvlmason.

Oh this is lovely! Thanks so much @SportSJA and all the wonderful folk in the industry who give their time to be judges x

[Kate Mason @kvlmason]

Working in sport is an absolute thrill that should be open to anyone with aptitude and passion. But news that 88% of women surveyed in the industry have been targets of sexual misconduct tells us we must do better - or lose their talents. Column: https://t.co/Y4aLfAUgkb

In which I give myself PTSD remembering Conte’s 22/23 champions league campaign. (pic from that very night, trying not to storm pitch.) Column: https://t.co/xCGMYwrmlH

First wrote for Metro a decade ago, on board as a columnist for four years, dealt with endless body blows as a Spurs fan and still delivering the goods (despite writing about Spurs)… here’s ⁦@kvlmason⁩’s latest https://t.co/Rf7Guif72y

Today marks the 30th anniversary of my first day in newspapers at the @haverhill Echo… safe to say the industry’s changed a tad (and so have I!)

[Dave Filmer @DaveFilmerMetro]

@greateranglia Thank you. I’m keeping a close eye and will keep my fingers crossed.

[Dave Filmer @DaveFilmerMetro]

@greateranglia Hi. Appreciate there’s a lot going on but if I’m on the 23:30 out of Liverpool Street, will I be able to get to Ipswich if the rail replacement will only go as far as Colchester?

[Dave Filmer @DaveFilmerMetro]

Looking forward to Madness tonight but got to say @Squeezeofficial were superb… what a band!

[Dave Filmer @DaveFilmerMetro]

@Nick_Metcalfe Cheers Nick. Always loved Squeeze and somehow never caught them live, so looking forward enormously to seeing them.

[Ben Fleming @ben__fleming]

A strange, and desperately sad, piece to write.

Some reflections on the conversation I had with Ricky Hatton just seven days before his tragic passing.

Woakes' bravery in vain as India down England in Oval thriller. It's Tuesday's back page.

Victorious Lionesses have taken the game to another level. It's Tuesday's back page.

And breathe.

“Spain are a different prospect but who better to give an inside track on them than @Lionesses Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh?”
