If you’re a #Snooker fan, my take on the 2026 China Open is now live. Discussing the deliberate foul controversy and also looking at that match changing decision in the 7th frame of the final

RT’s appreciated

Anything like this available for Ireland?

[Buffering Britain @BufferingBrit]

When we launched our app last month, Ofcom said we were wrong about their data, and doubled down on their claim that 96% of Brits have 4G good coverage.

Since then, thousands of you have downloaded the app, running over 25,000 signal tests. These tests show that real world connectivity is much worse than Ofcom suggests, with 1-in-5 struggling to make calls, and 2-in-5 struggle to stream content.

That data features in today’s Mail on Sunday, with a useful interactive map. You can see that map in more detail in our app or on our website.

Keep submitting tests in the app - we’re building an evidence base the government can’t ignore!

I’ve never missed transfer news sitting on the sofa eating crisps. Just saying 😁

Transfer news drops

But of course

@GazWaldoTweets @squadnos Raymond van der Gouw should’ve put a stop to that

Outfield player wearing 13? Just doesn’t sit well with me 😏. Any thoughts @squadnos ? Surely 13 should be for GKs?

Wexford to Waterford the very same. Absolute madness.

“Sorry, but there’s no direct train from Derry to Sligo, you have to go to Belfast Central first”
“Oh, okay…So I get the train from Grand Central to Sligo then?”
“No, then you have to go to Dublin”
“…”
“And then to Sligo”

@Magician147 Are we looking at the balls or the slippers? 😄😄

Good morning @wexfordcoco , can you send someone out to fix this? L3052 from Killinick village towards Ballymore.

Rear of the signs both say 50, so not just a case of spinning one around.

Thanks to @ShaneMarron19 for bringing Aston Villa’s starting 11 against Burnley to our attention

Only numbers 1, 9 and 10 missing - but left-back and left of the attacking three are the high numbers to be corrected in order to -#1to11ify

[Shane Marron 🇮🇪 @ShaneMarron19]

@squadnos A left back with 9? You’re crazy!!! 😂😂

[Shane Marron 🇮🇪 @ShaneMarron19]

I’m more excited to see consecutive numbers 2-8 all in the starting line up 😂 @squadnos

[Aston Villa Statto @AVFCStatto]

Ok I officially have no idea with what the hell this is in terms of shape 😂

My predictions for the tie:

Forest 3-1 Villa
Villa 2-2 Forest

Forest progress to the final

Can’t see Villa having enough to come through the two matches.

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

I'd like to think I can disassociate more than most because of playing and punditry, so with the latter's head on and only the latter, Forest's tempo and aggression and City Ground atmosphere could see 2 or 3 goals in their favour very quickly indeed, compounded by Villa's inability ( choice and form) to "raise the temperature" of their own game.

Villa only win tonight by matching Forest intensity and aggression and finish as they did mid season.

My pundit only prediction is 2-0 to Forest if it runs to very recent form with 1-1 or 1-2 if the Villa of mid season turn up.

As a Villan, I'll be really fucked off of we turn up pretending this is an exercise in slow, pedestrian posession. It's a fucking derby, and it needs to be respected as such. The hosts will for sure.
