@mattletiss7 Isn’t it strange how the TV licence is “only” £180 yet the £200 winter fuel allowance is loads?!

🚨🗣️New: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Vinicius Junior refusing the mandatory halftime interview with FIFA at the World Cup:

“People are shocked that Vinícius walked away from a halftime interview. I am shocked that anyone thinks he should have stopped in the first place.

Halftime is not a television studio. Halftime is not a podcast. Halftime is not a red carpet. Halftime is the heartbeat of a football match.

For 45 minutes, players are warriors in a storm. They run, they fight, they suffer, they bleed. Then they get 15 precious minutes to recover, to breathe, to listen, to think. And FIFA wants to spend part of that time chasing soundbites? That is like pulling a Formula 1 driver out of his car during a pit stop and asking him how the race is going.

And FIFA’s idea is to shove a microphone in the player’s face and ask, ‘How do you feel?’

How do you think he feels? He’s exhausted.

This is modern football’s biggest disease. Everything is content. Everything is sponsorship. Everything is television. The match hasn’t even finished and they’re already trying to manufacture headlines.

They tell us they care about player welfare. Really? Then why are players playing more games than ever? Why are tournaments expanding? Why are injuries increasing? And now they want halftime interviews too? The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Halftime is sacred. It belongs to the players and the coaches. That’s where games are won. That’s where tactics change. That’s where injuries get treated. That’s where leaders speak. It is not a media circus.

And don’t tell me this is for the fans. Fans want better football, not a tired player giving a robotic 20-second answer because somebody sold another broadcast package.

Vinícius understood that. He chose football over public relations.

The funniest part? They threaten him with a fine. A fine. As if that changes the principle. If I were there, I’d pay it too. Because some things are worth more than money.

If FIFA really had their way, they’d put microphones in the dressing room and call it innovation.

Football should come first. Not content. Not commercials. Not corporate greed.

For once, a player pushed back. And that’s exactly why so many people are angry.”

We're cooked.

@FabrizioRomano Just when you thought Leicester hadn’t suffered enough, along comes the PowerPoint Pep to take that suffering to another level. Unlucky lads!

[David Paton @davydisco80]

@ibroxrocks I think both will have to win the fans over after previous rejections of employment. Whoever is employed, whether it’s either of those two or someone else, will have to win the league cup at the very least to show they have what it takes.

@lewis_goodall Can I ask…are billionaires ok? Millionaires? Where does the threshold start and finish?

[David Paton @davydisco80]

@heraldscotland Cis women?? Seriously, we’re still forcing all women to now accept a pronoun that they never asked for?? Secondly, this clown says he’s had men saying who’ve been sexually assaulted by other men saying they shouldn’t be using men’s toilets - I call bullshit!!

@XtraLeicester He’s gonna say a lot of buzz phrases like “it’ll take some pain” “players will need to learn” and you’ll think aye it’s coming……and then it doesn’t. And you’re left thinking does this cunt actually know what he’s doing?! And then you realise, he is actually just a cunt!

[David Paton @davydisco80]

@MichaelCGM @met24met @CraigHouston_ @RestoreBritain I think your idea of society doing better is a tad different to a number of people - many of whom don’t feel represented by the “established” parties. Rather than denounce the turnout, it may be worth recognising there is a growing number of voters who want the party to do well.

[David Paton @davydisco80]

That’s just grand (in fact almost to the tune of 400 of the fuckers!) but I must add - is he still entitled to legal aid if he’s got his hands on that amount of money?

At what point were we consulted in our democratic right to the mass invasion of migrants? Just asking as if we weren’t - which I don’t think we were…then how is he interfering in our democracy??

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

BREAKING:

Sir Keir Starmer has accused JD Vance of trying to 'interfere in our democracy' and 'stir up division on our streets' after the vice president blamed Henry Nowak's murder on the 'mass invasion of migrants'

A Number 10 spokesperson said: “In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets.

“The Nowak family are grieving after Henry’s horrific murder. They have said they do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We should be respecting their wishes.

“Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country.”

It’s The Open Championship twice for me. The others I could happily do without. Not even sure why the USPGA is even a major!

[NUCLR GOLF @NUCLRGOLF]

🚨⛳️🏆 #DISCUSSION — If you could win any two (but only two) majors, which ones are you choosing to win?

[David Paton @davydisco80]

@LozzaFox Reading what Restore are physically doing regards the rape gang enquires as opposed to the tokenism from the rest, as well as posts about building Britain rather than appeasing others at the detriment of us, means there’s a growing support among the silent majority to elect!

[Laurence Fox @LozzaFox]

Best thing you can do is vote @RestoreBritain_

Fuck this uniparty bollocks.

They are the only ones who will admit there is a major problem.

@1872MB I’m sure when wee Willie Collum does his show where he says it was the wrong decision will totally vindicate the ref. Doesn’t matter that it’s all after the fact, nothing to see here, move along and we’ll learn from it 😉🤦🏻‍♂️
