Netball Nik

Just here to chat about Netball (mostly NSL & Prem).

Love me some South African Netball (Aloes & Crinums - Pain & Pleasure)

@AndrewHWestern @sadietrent_92 @ZiaYusufUK I could call myself the shadow home secretary for my house & I'd have about as much legal standing as him

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@Tijjani822 @saint_oreoluwa And what have you done to be successful in life? I see one person who has won the Premier League as a vital part of his club & who will be representing his country on the world stage, & I see one person calling the other names on X. I think people will agree who the loser is

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@Mbappewakhosi @saint_oreoluwa He's done well, for sure

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@saint_oreoluwa I actually wouldn't have recognised him with the glasses on, but they suit him, and she is an attractive girl. I hope they're super happy 😊

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@JessLMas @ukfantasynetbll So out of interest, who did you have in your team? 🤔 I know Sammy was GS. El GA? Who else?

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@Im_not_hickin Did no-one tell you all Black people look the same? [/sarcasm] You'd think they did the way this happens! I'd sooner they mistakenly posted a photo of Rolene or Helen or something as at least we could laugh at how ridiculous that was instead of having to say how offensive it is.

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@jordann87075568 @cazzrhughes I think particularly in the CWG where you don't have reserves. There's no doubt Liss is faster than Nat which makes her harder to mark sometimes, but Nat has more game experience & that can make her harder to mark at times too.

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@emiliesopinions @ChoadieA This is what makes it so much more shocking. If they regularly messed up White players up too or they'd accidentally posted a pic of Sasha & said it was Liv, it'd be like "lol - they've messed up again! They're so bad at this! 🤣" but this has a different feel to it.

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@TheNetballShow Yeah, I'm gonna opt against pushing a wheelchair quarter of a mile across busy roads, thanks! Nice of them to offer it free this weekend but for the GF, it'll be £25... 🤔

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@ChoadieA @kat2801 @deenetballchat They'd have a meltdown if they had to pronounce some TNL players names! Nozipho Ntshangase, Nomfundo Mngomezulu, Nosihle Mkhwanazi, ​Sli Ngcobo, Liyema Tshamlambo, Sibongakonke Mdletshe, ​Nonsikelelo Mazibuko, ​​Kelebogile Mochwali, ​Tshegofatso Mbangi, Sandanathi Lutshaba... 🤯

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@ChoadieA @kat2801 @deenetballchat Was that not an NSL-wide thing? Might not be, but I have some memory of KC doing it too. Maybe it was a RSA thing before the England series. Because we don't get exposed to foreign languages as such (we expect everyone to speak English we're shit at speaking other languages...

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@kat2801 @deenetballchat I was just about to say that!

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@nettyjane5 You're not because they are not interested in hearing from fans - they never have been.

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@unojen_wood Source?

[Neil Woldrew @TheRealWoldrew]

After 20 years in the British Army, I asked the @PoppyLegion for some assistance.

Last year they made £56.6 million from the poppy appeal and the best they could do was to reply with 'Ask Citizens Advice'

And to think I've helped raise money for this lot!!!

@UponTyneNews

@I_amMukhtar Whilst this may give the appearance of a racist being thick, it's actually far more likely to be someone who knows full well this man is not a Muslim & is trying to incite hatred.

[Prof Colin Talbot (rerum cognoscere causas) @colinrtalbot]

Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.

Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison

Huge coverage of both

Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.

Media coverage? You judge.

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@netball764 @sophieelg I'm 100% sure Nat is aware of that. She's not daft and if she's not been working on adapting, I'd be astonished.

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@sophieelg Yes, but Liv needs to play more with other players. That's why El is so good - she's played for Thunder, Stars, back to Thunder, TBirds, MMavs, Thunder again, she's played for England with umpteen different players. Liv, Funmi, & Hali need to leave Pulse to grow their games.

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

@EmilyGreenaway7 I didn't know who it was. Apparently it's Jamaican Shantal Slater

[Netball Nik @Netball_Nik]

Seems nothing has been learned from the incident with Raz the other year. How did they find this photo? I just searched Google & got 100s of photos of Liv plus 3 white girls who were mentioned in the same article as Liv. Truly bizarre & rather worrying.

[Bea @netballB34]

Good old NSL socials celebrating Liv Tchine’s 100 games by posting a photo of someone who isn’t Liv Tchine. It’s so embarrassing - does nobody fact check these posts??? #NSL2026
