Savage came out for an interview and made very little sense. [6/99]

@william27504693 @derrygandhi7 I want to play 442 against Haiti but don't want to be outnumbered in midfield. In a 4231 for sure I agree with your whole selection.

@passport_soccer @Thesumsh_ Just friendlies and he wasn’t picked. He’ll come back to Scotland, I’m counting on it 😅

[Florian Ederer @florianederer]

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

@kevmc2016 @scotball_ I’ve got my eye on that speedboat, Jim, I’m going to gamble

@20MinuteTims Come on, everyone knows that a Director of Football uses magic powers to levitate over training pitches and stadia, emitting a glowing aura, shedding sparks of ancient wisdom sourced from the non-corporeal soul of a football club with which over time he has become one. Obviously.

@SPFLWatch Feels like it’s been edited badly by a work experience kid, speaking as a former work experience kid who edited badly

[Jonathan Savage @JSavageTweets]

@SPFL_Fitba_Fan The centre circle had YES BOYS either side of the central display so I think it was an EE tie-in

[Jonathan Savage @JSavageTweets]

My 5-year-old calls Scott McTominay Scotland Tominade. It’s got 2000s non-licensed video game written all over it.

AI swallowing voiceover work:

[Maxwell Schaeffer @IARadioMan]

Yes. I’ve lost the lion’s share of my corporate online training voiceover work for several companies. They are feeding their scripts into ElevenLabs to generate the voiceovers. I have no way of knowing if they have cloned my voice for that, by the way. I DO know, however, that my authentic voiceover interpretation of a script or commercial copy is always far better, more human, and more effective at storytelling than an AI generated voice. Fortunately, I still have clients who recognize this and are happy to pay for it.

[Jonathan Savage @JSavageTweets]

@SPFL_Fitba_Fan Yes I'd say he's fairly likely to play a bit, especially as Tierney also played a lot of the game on Saturday. Didn't McGinn only come on as a sub for Villa? Might play at some point too.

[Jonathan Savage @JSavageTweets]

@nocontextfm1 @TartanArmyGroup Got to the final with Scotland first try. It’s not even that the players are overpowered individually, very strange happenings!

[Jonathan Savage @JSavageTweets]

Extraordinary circumstances amid an extraordinary crime. There must surely be a thorough examination now P Murrell has admitted his guilt

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

The real victims of Murrell’s crimes are the ordinary Independence Supporters who gave their hard earned cash to the SNP with the express purpose of furthering the cause of independence. They will want to know how their donations could have been embezzled for so long without 1/6
