@martynziegler A foul and a yellow, clearly. Red card is an insane decision.

@Mexico86HQ I was only four in 1986 but I know this tournament better than any other thanks to a £3 Woolworth bargain bin video purchase of 'Hero'. The slow-mos, the Michael Caine voiceover, the soundtrack. Absolute perfection.

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@SouthernRailUK Great. I left the station and am now on a bus to Brighton because the ticket office lady told me it wouldn't run.

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@SouthernRailUK 1322 LWS BTN is showing as on time. Will it run past Lewes? You're saying the lines are blocked...

@sidlowe SeVILLA, VILLAreal, Aston VILLA

@SouthernRailUK Just now. It beeped several times, the light went red. I used the one on the other platform and it worked fine

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@SouthernRailUK I reported the Key card reader at Moulsecoomb as faulty a week ago, still not working. It's the one on the main stairs serving Brighton side. Please sort.

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@SouthernRailUK Still not working...

@SouthernRailUK 423222. So hot 🥵. OBS has just locked the door open so people can move down

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@SouthernRailUK 1013 BTN to Southampton Central is miserable. Heating on full, interconnecting doors broken, WiFi not working

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@SouthernRailUK This has happened again on my journey to/from work yesterday. Can you please just log a fault with the card reader on the main stairs so I don't have to keep manually updating my journey info each time I travel.

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@SouthernRailUK I keep getting 'incomplete journey' KeyGo notifications after tapping in/out when travelling to/from Moulsecoomb - there is clearly an issue with the reader. Please confirm this will be looked into

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@SouthernRailUK DMs not working on the app...

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@SouthernRailUK I only ever use the reader on the main stairs heading up to the Brighton-bound platform. I travel to/from Lewes and never have issues with the readers there. Thanks

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@EastSussexCC @LewesDC @SouthernWater @JamesMacCleary blocked drains cause flooding by Lewes station every time it rains - just got soaked by a passing car as I tried to get my train. Same happens to Priory school kids. Whose responsibility is this to sort, please?

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@brightonargus Coastal? It's a 20-minute drive to the sea

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@brightonargus I think you need to check your local geography knowledge. Pretty sure your catchment area doesn't extend all the way to Ipswich...

This would be funny if it weren't such a sad reflection of how local journalism operates today 😞

Dear @ZelenskyyUa, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

[Russell Spink @Saint_Russ]

@lewis_goodall would love your take re: what comes next and whether the fact that this happened on a Friday rather than, say, a Monday in any way affects how things play out
