As a sports writer, I’ve found lots of the reaction to / coverage of Just Stop Oil really alarming. I think it says a lot about a lot of things, incl attitudes to the climate crisis and the role sport plays in it (thread)

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

@TheJackDearden Disagree on it not affecting other teams - Man Utd could have gone to a replay had CL's goal been allowed. Now they have less fixture congestion which could impact how they treat upcoming Prem games. Meanwhile NUFC go incorrectly 1-0 down without VAR. I get the logic but oh well.

@nocontextfm1 AIK

@LifeofBrian92 @belfastEmpire Not this time

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

@Mmmbiscotti At which point this would be you

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

@Mmmbiscotti Yeah. Just because of the double Ds. So to speak. I can only imagine the many versions you get

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

@Mmmbiscotti I wouldn't pronunce it that way personally. Far be it for me to question their researchers though!

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

@Mmmbiscotti Me scowling at your fancy Spotify Discover

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

@Mmmbiscotti Yes, but I'm also partial to the fake fade-out, where they fade back in and then fade back out...

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

Public figures trending with incorrectly spelled names never fails to make me giggle. I am easily amused, yes.

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

@imshanereaction Perfect

@Mmmbiscotti This press conference is over

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

@Mmmbiscotti I get this now!

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

I'll never not support the players on the field. But to throw all nuance out the window in the tribal sense of "Yay, my club is rich" is not something I am on board with. It's not a good day for football.

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

Very conflicted emotions on what is likely to be Takeover Day. On one hand, there's been no joy supporting Newcastle for many years. On the other, any on-field joy from this point will be tainted. Is that better than no joy? I don't know. 1/

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

..the game has become nowadays? Do we write it all off as the price to pay for success? If we excuse murder to feel a little pleasure at our football team, we've fallen a long way. And yes, government arms sales/trade deals is wrong too. 3/

[Gerry Walton @Ger_Toon]

The EU 27. This shit just writes itself nowadays

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Oh.

Tonight’s incident at Red Bee Media in White City which has disrupted several TV channels reminds me there’s an obscure conspiracy theory that claims Red Bee owns the BBC through Swedish bankers and onwards into the Deep State. Yeah, not true.
