Overheard in the toilets at the AGW dinner at Birkdale…

Really? Why on earth would a football match be allowed to determine a matter of sovereignty and democracy? It’s just football (not even a proper sport like cricket or rugby). If we win Wednesday but lose to Spain Sunday are the Falklands safe but we have to surrender Gibraltar?

On the play that led to England's equalizer, the ball hit the FIFA sky cam before the goal.

@DPJHodges Unless he hasn't actually resigned - it's not in his gift. There has to be a by election or Clacton will have no MP

Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup

John Lennon met Paul McCartney for the first time today in 1957. The world changed with that one meeting. Incredible how small moments can have such a huge impact.

[Alan Fisher @AlanFisher]

England deserve that. Brave, battling performance full of heart. They were well worth the win.

@JoshACarpenter What strikes me is how much better Peter Alliss was in this moment at capturing it all

If Harry Kane was Scottish, Steve Clarke would still have picked Lyndon Dykes ahead of him.

@MotherwellFC Rare misstep. Boggin.

Nothing to do with it being "perceived as American". Everything to do with it disrupting the flow of the game.

British foreign correspondents could be at risk of prosecution if they use sources within state-backed groups in countries such as Iran under national security legislation being rushed through parliament this week.

David Anderson, a former UK independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has warned that unless the bill is amended it could accidentally pull journalists working in danger-zone countries into prosecutions for terrorism.
