1st heavyweight clash and not disappointing

[Andrew Liddle @Dalsafc73]

Brazil playing the World Cup starts now. 1982 Brazilian team is my favourite team and I was there when they beat Argentina and a certain Maradona was sent off.

Thinking VAR has dropped a clanger in this match hence why we have not seen the offside line picture to prove it was onside

@SAFCsource Elvis tribute act concert?

Potentially an extra £50m revenue earned today, this could well be the difference in having to sell a player this summer. Interesting times ahead. Might actually be buying from Harrods this summer.

[Andrew Liddle @Dalsafc73]

Be very interesting how we invest the extra money earned today and the lure of Europa league football

[Andrew Liddle @Dalsafc73]

UEFA’s total Europa League distribution pot for 2025/26 is around €565m, with clubs earning from:

participation fees,
match results,
final league position,
knockout progression,
and TV/value-share pay

@mixedknuts What to have a look at Goalkeeper Xg data specific for goalies

[Andrew Liddle @Dalsafc73]

@Capt_Fishpaste For a genuine £60m bid can see the club taking it to allow them to go big again next season. It’s what the likes of Brentford Brighton Bournemouth did to have the depth of squad needed.

Should have had a bet on Spurs going down back in December

Can someone please explain to me how Alderete, mukilie and Roefs have been able to be bought by a newly promoted team to the Premier league

[Andrew Liddle @Dalsafc73]

@MsiDouglas @premierleague I am led to believe we have not played anyone good yet. Simply quoting the visitors

[Andrew Liddle @Dalsafc73]

1st time in my life time I worry about our manager being a target for a big club.

Xhaka making sure the mascot was warm brilliant

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I sit in Parliament listening to these ministers, and it’s all just so depressing - the vast majority of them have never run a business, and it SHOWS. You would not believe how bad it is.

They think ‘work’ means turning up to an office between 9 and 5, answering a few emails, and going home at the end of the day. Nice lunch break, few coffees away from the desk, probably a smoking break or several. It doesn’t - not for the millions of men and women who actually create the wealth that funds the state.

Running a small business isn’t a job. It’s a way of life. It is life. It’s 24/7/365. It’s relentless. You are the accountant, HR department, compliance officer, cleaner, marketer, and customer service team - all in one. There’s no sick pay, no safety net, and no taxpayer-funded pension waiting for you.

Holiday? Good luck. If you do manage to get away, it’s checking the phone all day, every day. Wife/husband obviously getting pissed off. We’ve all been there...

It’s all on you. Every invoice chased, every tax deadline met, every bit of red tape navigated is on you. And if you make one mistake, one error, one small slip-up, the state comes after you - in a relentlessly efficient manner that is never afforded to us when we ask questions of it.

Most MPs have no idea what that feels like. They just don’t. We’re going to see more of this in the budget I’m sure. More hurt. More pain. More tax. They don’t get it.

They don’t understand that when a small business owner gets hit with another tax, it’s not absorbed by a ‘budget’ - it’s taken straight out of their family’s pocket.

There is no ‘deficit’ in the business world - that’s called going bust.

And they certainly don’t understand what real risk looks like. Politicians can vote through a policy on Monday and forget it by Tuesday - a small business owner lives with the consequences of that policy for years, decades. The MP monthly salary is safe. It always has been. In the public sector before, and in the public sector after - if not that, some charity/NGO funded entirely by the public sector.

GET A REAL JOB.

If MPs actually spent a week running a small firm - paying suppliers, tackling VAT, navigating health and safety law, sorting out HR issues, chasing clients for payment, trying to expand while staying compliant with everything from GDPR to local planning regulations - they’d legislate very differently. I can promise you that.

They’d realise that most of Britain’s problems could be solved by the state doing less, not more.

Cutting tax. Simplifying regulation. Slashing back the HRification of the country. Trusting people who actually produce things to get on with it.

Instead, we have a political class that talks endlessly about ‘growth’ while brutally punishing the only people capable of delivering it - especially going after the family businesses/farms, which is a particularly spiteful policy decision.

Small business owners are people who work harder than almost anyone in Parliament could imagine - and who are treated worse for it.

Britain’s small businesses don’t succeed because of politicians, they survive in spite of them.
