World Cup in the USA

[Alfie | HITC Sevens @HITCSevens]

When the U.K. Foreign Office considered denying North Koreans visas to play at the 1966 World Cup, FIFA told the FA that they would immediately relocate the tournament.

That was when FIFA still had something remotely resembling a spine.

don’t bid for the world cup if you don’t want the WORLD to be part of the world cup

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to referee at the World Cup, was denied entry to the United States.

He received a diplomatic passport from the Somali embassy but was turned away upon his arrival.

Omar Artan was elected Best African Referee in 2025.

I’m supposed to believe these people are upstanding, good citizens who want what’s best for this country? A bunch of thick, drunk, anti-social degenerates

[Craig. @bambibristol]

The fact that there’s more noise about Zack Polanski not paying some council tax on a narrow boat, than there is about Nigel Farage taking a £5m bribe to run as an MP….confirms that it’s pretty fucking impossible to have functioning democracy AND a billionaire owned ‘free’ press

FT Exclusive: NHS England has granted external staff from companies including Palantir “unlimited access” to identifiable patient data while working on a part of its flagship data platform. https://t.co/sxgWCuZua6

A £5m personal bribe to a UK politician should end that politician's career overnight.
No exceptions - any party, and position.
This is corruption.

If you're defending this because it came from the mouth of a Green MP you're part of the Problem.
Demand better from the people who are paid £100,000 a year, plus all their dodgy donations, to get pissed at a discount, then Vote on what affects yours & millions of peoples lives.

James Morrison took over West Brom, they were 22nd and three points off safety.

Fast forward 11 games, they're 10 unbeaten and safe despite a points deduction for breaching PSR.

What a job he's done 👏👏👏

[Daniel Hewitt @DanielHewittITV]

So Albion are deducted points:

-for making charitable donations to its community foundation

-based on a RETROSPECTIVE adjustment to its accounts AFTER the EFL changed the rules

-without being told how much they exceeded the limit

-with no published judgement

No words. #wba

MASSIVE:

🇺🇸 The BBC just validated everything we've been saying.

A clear pattern of trades right before major Trump announcements.
Iran war. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts.

We tracked a whale for weeks.
0 losses. 11 wins. 100% win rate.

You would go to prison for trading on a tip from your cousin.
They front-run war decisions with billion dollar bets.

Now the BBC has the receipts.
Nobody will be investigated.
Nobody will be charged.

The game is rigged. And now the world knows it.

The Premier League title race

[David Piesing @DavidPiesing63]

@RobDorsettSky @JPercyTelegraph @GoldbergRadio @BuzagloToBalis @AliJones9 Hang on - the club had to borrow money BECAUSE Lai had literally stolen (I use that term without hesitation) money from the club with the Wisdom Smart “loan” that was made unlawfully by his stooge (then sole director of the club), Ke Xu, in blatant breach of his fiduciary duty to only act in the best interests of the company (being the football club) which that “loan” made to Wisdom Smart very clearly was not!

I sent several emails to Ke Xu about this (I have copies), pointing out his blatant breach of fiduciary duty and demanding to know as a shareholder what he was doing to enforce repayment from Wisdom Smart. Every email was totally ignored. I also sent emails about it to the club’s auditors, Azets (I still have copies) who were obviously very interested. Crucially I sent an email to Rick Parry (Chairman) and Trevor Birch (Chief Executive Officer) of the EFL on 20th January 2023 about Lai’s “loan”, which led to two video calls with their “very interested” colleagues Mark Rowan (Chief Communications Officer) and Nick Craig (Chief Operating Officer) in May 2023 about all the shenanigans. I made them aware of facts regarding the Chinese ultimate beneficial ownership of the club which neither they nor the Premier League (who originally approved Lai as “fit and proper”) knew nothing about. Because of those illegal acts by Xu, as Lai’s puppet, money unlawfully disappeared from the club, leaving it days away from going into administration.

If the club may potentially now suffer a points deduction some 3 years later directly because of the club having no option but to pay interest on expensive MSD loans taken out by Lai to literally keep the club in existence because he was unable to repay his own unlawful Wisdom Smart “loan”, then this would be a disgraceful gross injustice by the EFL and must be fully exposed and challenged. No sane person would deem that to a breach worthy of a points deduction. The EFL was made fully aware of the situation regarding that Wisdom Smart loan and if they cannot now locate their emails to refer to, I do still have them all.

The EFL has had an absolute stinker here on multiple fronts (as did the Premier League before them) and they need to recognise that and immediately dismiss any charge against the club.
