A footballing blue, but politically red. Grumpy old man with good cause. A like or RT doesn't mean I agree with everything you say or think.

@ged0407 I'm pretty sure he said on the Mexico pen that the ref obviously hadn't seen the contact, so VAR shouldn't get
involved? Erm...Al...

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@scousericey Important part of this is they want to be able to have Aug gigs, and that'll be fine because they'll just "get early fixtures away". They're admitting EPL will roll over and sort so they will then always be home last day of the season.
The last 3 fixture lists were not a fluke.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@reece_dinsdale Easiest solution. Players must keep their hands by their sides until ball in play. That will make that 1st contact subject to sanction.

There's no legitimate reason to wrap your arms around opponents.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@Footballtweet Every time a player drags the 2nd foot down straight towards keeper, you always give ref a decision to make on who instigated contact. If you look like you're trying to progress then it's a clearer foul by gk. Pet hate that straight leg tbh.

American Football would be so much better if they got rid of the offsides rule and let everyone just stand wherever they want at the snap.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@abosalaharena Let everyone compete against each other in a penalty shoot out, 10 pens each. Top 16 by " goal difference" seeded against 2nd 16 for actual matches. If drawn, the head to head pens apply. If that was a draw, sudden death.
Much quicker, and loads of ad breaks. 😉

@alexheard Whut? I don't recall hearing Madden saying "The Bears is in the playoffs." The team is a collective.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@arabin_patson @whmeyer0 @TonyBenge70 @Stornoway_Cove There does need to be a falsehood though. You can't libel someone with the truth. Hence the comms disclosure to show the inference possibly drawn by the edit was probably reasonable.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@TonyBenge70 @Stornoway_Cove Equally, he's claiming the defs acted wrongly in the perception created. So now they are saying prove you are innocent as you claim.( because there was lots of anecdotal stuff at the time which obvs you can disprove from your records) Remember, he started the litigation.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@TonyBenge70 @Stornoway_Cove The burden is on the claimant. He claims he has suffered financial and reputational harm. Defendant says prove it. That's how it works.
I say so, so it is so, may work on X but not in litigation.

@BillyDeansBoots @paulhtfp @henrywinter I would love to think your right and you mean 'fans". But as long as they get the TV money the show goes on, coving proved that. And sadly there's a whole world of potential audience members who want to be atmosphere providers.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@paulhtfp @henrywinter Mate, just look at the growing number of US owners in the UK. Once they have the majority all sorts of such nonsense will follow.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@blades_sufc_1 I would look more carefully at the cb's and their line / response before digging out JP. He was not good on those through runs, but should never have had to make them there. Either defend higher and he sweeps or lower and he can hold the box. No man's land is down to defence.

@supertanskiii @SangitaMyska If it was a " hot podium girl" would we be allowed to go all Benny Hill?
Asking for a friend obvs.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@typeclonghouse Same way you guys do a 4 wk tour of Europe. Save for 4 years, accrue toil etc and use all their paid leave. It's a generational trip for many, a 4 yearly pilgrimage for others.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@frankieboyledad @PeterStefanovi2 But he subsequently resigned. Read the statement again. It's badly worded, because it also includes Major by that definition. Should read 1st came to office. But yes, there has been no pm voted into office and voted out of office at a G E this century.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@FootballInT80s Can't argue with any of that.
The hydration breaks ( which are sometimes necess for player safety), should be 60s at the corner flags opposite tech area with personnel limited to water carriers.
But we know this wc it's all about fox selling their ads.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@ianmSC You do realise its the visitors that are providing that " moment", not the venue.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@andrewcarleton7 Nah, if he wants to say bad words he should be man enough to own those words.
Not hide them from everyone except the target.

Rules change, you can't stand on I've always done it. Just look how all keepers gave had to adapt.

[Rob Millard @Robmillard1]

@EFCdaily_ "We'll have to make do with what we've got, and it's not my fault if I use what we've got poorly."

He thinks we're still in the Bill era, or at least he's wishing we were back there .
