So here we have an official at the World Cup in the US literally holding up the complete match with his arm in the air, not for injuries, not for football reasons,but because the TV network hasn’t finished selling their ads.
At this point, it’s not a match anymore, it’s a broadcast schedule with a ball occasionally rolling around.
A World Cup official stopping play mid-game so the broadcasters can finish their commercials.
Nothing says “beautiful game” like football taking orders from an ad break. It’s not a sport at that point,it’s a TV product with a pitch attached.
Imagine watching a World Cup match where the referee is told to wait because the commercials aren’t done yet.
That’s not football, that’s a glorified ad break pretending to be a sporting event.
Just some meaningless content between commercial slots.
A brilliant football career that included 61 caps and one goal for our #ThreeLions over a seven-year period – and a record 46 appearances for our U21 #YoungLions.
Wishing @JamesMilner a very happy retirement ❤️
It was great seeing you all today as our new home strip went on sale, with some familiar faces spotted at the Bradford City Store. 🤩

Credit to @officialbantams for that kit release! Front and centre at a national cup final 👏 👏 👏
I was hoping for another spin off of the pinstripes, though. The design grew on me last season, and felt fresh.
Hopefully this one does, too. Claret/amber socks please!

The dust needs time to settle but big questions ahead for #BCAFC
If we're serious about getting out of the division we need to turn over another half of the squad. Maximizing the loan market will also be key, and that needs to start immediately.
All loans/loanees go IMO
A large portion of the Valley Parade crowd stay behind to thank and acknowledge Bradford City’s season, which ends in defeat to Bolton at the play-off semi-final stage. A clear illustration of what’s been a remarkable season. #bcafc
Well this is it, one last dance at home this season under the lights. An opportunity for this fantastic team of players to top off a great season with a trip to wembley. We are all with you from the first minute tonight lads, the old girl will be rocking. #bcafc
Here it is. Do or die. GA has to bring on ball players and go for it, but when does he pull the trigger?
Also, more FWDs?
Bring on Humps and Swan for me. Maybe take off a DF and flood the midfield (Lapslie). Power and Metcalfe must be knackered.

“I see a lot of times, when it comes down to this, a manager pleads to the support. I don’t think I have to. I think they know the role they’ll play.” 👊
Graham Alexander on the ‘unwavering’ support he’s expecting at Valley Parade for their second-leg with Bolton.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night.
The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power.
