Credit to @TFHipster for the excellent footage. It was the best angle for the Titanic music edit for Josh Barrett’s goal and someone had to do it. Enjoy! #atfc #FATrophy

@elonmusk But you’ve just actively supported a candidate who wants to do the exact opposite? 🤷

[Scott Simpkin @ScottSimpkin]

@FootballCliches The death of the “buccaneering run” requires focus, guys.

An archetype of 90s football, I haven’t seen one in years! Have we:

decided rangy wingers capable of uncouth forward motion have no place in the modern game

OR

shackled potential buccaneers (Docouré, Rice)

Thoughts?

[Scott Simpkin @ScottSimpkin]

Huge kudos to @WatfordFC for recognising the importance of fan ownership and offering the chance to make it happen.

Adding to @AFCWimbledon @DorkingWDRS @altrinchamfc and @SouthShieldsFC to also do this.

Here’s to hoping @OfficialShots will join them and raise on @Seedrs 🤞

@wearepalmreader @AlreadyHeardUK I hadn’t heard of you guys until the Thrice gig last Monday. Loved it! Thought you were super talented. Loved your performance. Have been listening since.

Priorities change, but just wanted you guys to know you were getting new fans right up to the end! Wishing you all the best

@LanterneRougeYT INEOS will be thinking Wiggins regen? Selfishly I hope they pin their future GT hopes on Pidcock and let Tarling be Cancellara 2.0

@lewisblainsport “What’s the time Mr Wolf”. Not heard that one to describe a defensive tactic before, but like it very much 😂

[Scott Simpkin @ScottSimpkin]

@joinrepublic @GergelyOrosz Angel investing at scale is the way forward.

That way you actually see the asset class, on average, tends to make you money (eg: Seedrs portfolio of 1000+ businesses over 10 years generates 18.34% IRR)

@republicnote gets you into 623 and counting - just saying… 😉

[Scott Simpkin @ScottSimpkin]

@adsinuk Aarish, I’m curious… what specific things do you think are best to spend a small loan on for a profitable business? Obviously knowing you have to pay it back…

Aldershot Town:

Massive in Myanmar 🇲🇲
Huge in Honduras 🇭🇳
Famous in Finland 🇫🇮

@danarchitects The tongue in cheek trolling of your own fanbase is excellent.

Glad to see it only took 20 seconds for you to dust off the blast beats for this song 😂

Keep at it, guys. I liked Here and Now, I liked CSOABS. Just keep coming home to the stuff you do better than anyone else ❤️

@republicnote @joinrepublic A coin with utility and tangible value.... 👀👀👀👀👀

@BenjiNaesen Jonas improves to Froome level of villainy after winning the Tour by 5 minutes. He’ll also cross a couple of finish lines covered in wee like peak Froome

[Republic Note @republicnote]

We’re excited to announce that Republic Note will be launching on @avax.

This is a major milestone that marks the final leap before the Note’s market listing.

Details ↓

If you’re new:
Republic’s flagship investment product — the Republic Note — is a novel, dividend-paying digital security that offers investors exposure to our 750-asset (and growing) private equity portfolio.

Avalanche is the perfect partner for Note.

November was huge for their ecosystem:
· @Citi is now developing an FX solution on Avalanche
· @JPMorgan announced Onyx
· Hosted Avalanche House in Istanbul

Result:
60% growth in 7 days (!) — beating every other chain in the top-50 — and reaching #14 in the world by market capitalization.

Building on Avalanche means smoother, faster, and safer transactions for Note investors.

With @avax, we get:
→ scale, speed
→ flexibility
→ a dedicated subnet for Note (in 2024)
→ perfect alignment with our vision
→ eco-friendliness

Fired up for this partnership✊

With Ava Labs by our side, Republic is moving at full speed to trailblaze digital finance for retail investors—every day closer and closer to a future where private equity markets are accessible to all.

@BenjiNaesen This is Vingegaard’s last chance saloon as leader. He has to destroy everyone on Tourmalet or he becomes a domestique.

Jumbo management should use that as incentive to go all in to unleish and ultra-attacking Jonas with Kuss and Roglic following in the wheels.

[Scott Simpkin @ScottSimpkin]

@UTM_Mariners @Vanarama @DorkingWDRS @NonLeagueCrowd @nonleagueshow @NonLeagueGuys @Love_non_league @bunch_amateurs @TalkingWdrs Administration of thousands of fans is unrealistic, though admirable. Getting 1000 fans to make any board decision will just slow things down. Better to have a nominee (as South Shields and Dorking have done) to represent the economic interests of the fans. More realistic.

[Scott Simpkin @ScottSimpkin]

I’ve now helped Altrincham and now Dorking make fan ownership a reality through @Seedrs - so great to see it getting the coverage this courageous step deserves too!

If only we could make it 3 National League teams with @OfficialShots…. 👀

[Scott Simpkin @ScottSimpkin]

@BrynLucas I thought this too! Let’s say he was willing (we don’t know that, but let’s say he was…)

I reckon his PR team would have advised against. It’s a pretty sad reflection of society, but cancel culture is so rife now that staying quiet and letting it drift away is his best option..

[Scott Simpkin @ScottSimpkin]

@taogeoghegan @LidlTrek Guess I’m a @LidlTrek fan then! 🙌

[Scott Simpkin @ScottSimpkin]

@OfficialShots Wow well done @ScottyLorimer10 and co. East Bank looks absolutely 🔥
