@Theleaguemag Loved that scoreboard

Statement from Omar Artan is far more graceful and reserved than FIFA deserves. It is a stain on this tournament that one of Africa's top officials can be blocked from the biggest month of his career.

@peter_w0730 Really? Why would a big European club want to play a League One side.

🚨🦉 Important Announcement🦉🚨

A new friend of Sheffield Wednesday and the Supporters Trust, who prefers to remain anonymous, has been incredibly impressed by the outpouring of support for the effort to raise money for this important cause and has made an incredibly generous pledge to match every gift, up to £35,000 raised by supporters towards this effort.

We’re currently on £27,910, meaning we need to raise the final £7,090 to unlock the full £35,000 contribution.

If we do, a £35,000 supporter-led campaign becomes a £70,000 investment in Sheffield Wednesday supporters and young people across our community.

That means more season tickets, more match tickets, more mascot experiences, more shirts, and the chance to reach even more children who dream of being part of Sheffield Wednesday but may never otherwise get the opportunity. It means creating memories with parents, grandparents and friends that will last a lifetime, helping young people feel connected to their club, their city and their community. The donor has recognised just how important family and community are in Sheffield, and wants to help open the door for the next generation of Wednesdayites.

The donor recognised something we’ve all seen: when Wednesdayites are given the chance to help one another, they step forward. In discussing the donation, they impressed upon us a simple message:

“We’re All Wednesday Aren’t We?”

That spirit is exactly what Sheffield Wednesday is about.

This fanbase has already achieved something remarkable.

Now we have the opportunity to turn £35,000 into £70,000.

@storchyowl @swfc I'd be very grateful if this didn't involve goal music, thanks. Irrationally, my no.1 fear.

The Only Dog Ever Officially Enlisted in the Royal Navy.

In 1939, a Great Dane named Nuisance had a problem. He loved riding the trains between Simon's Town and Cape Town, South Africa, escorting drunk sailors back to base. The state railway company didn't love him back, they threatened to have him put down unless someone paid his fares.

The Royal Navy's solution was breathtaking in its bureaucratic elegance: they enlisted him. On August 25, 1939, Able Seaman Just Nuisance, surname Nuisance, first name Just, trade listed as "Bonecrusher," religion as "Scrounger", became the only dog in history officially enrolled in the Royal Navy. As enlisted personnel, he was entitled to free rail travel. Problem solved.

His service record reads like a sitcom. He was charged with sleeping in the Petty Officers' dormitory and sentenced to "deprivation of bones for seven days." He went AWOL repeatedly, refused to leave pubs at closing time, lost his collar, and, in his most serious infractions, killed the mascots of two Royal Navy warships, HMS Shropshire and HMS Redoubt. He never once went to sea.

He died on April 1, 1944, his seventh birthday, after being put to sleep due to a paralytic condition called thrombosis. The Royal Navy buried him with full military honours, a firing party, a bugler sounding the Last Post, and a Union Jack draped over his grave on the slopes above Simon's Town. His bronze statue still watches over the harbour today.

They gave a dog a rank, a salary, and a disciplinary record just to get him a free train ticket. Peak military logic.

Motherwell midfielder Callum Slattery has been handed a four-game ban, two of which are suspended, for simulation which resulted in a red card for St Mirren defender Richard King.

For those of you who realise there was football before the Premier League, the youngest top-flight goalscorer is still Jason Dozzell aged 16y & 57 days
