Saved penalties for a living and was a referee for a while. Now coaching youths and talk sport/refs. Support

@UKLabour @andyburnham Outrageous! You should have to be an MP for at least a year before being able to become leader! Any change of leadership for a party in power should automatically trigger a general election. It doesn't matter as he's not as popular with the electorate as labour think!

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@SpursOfficial Why? We should be keeping players like this

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@4thUtilityUK I cancelled my service with you back in May and you confirmed that was the case. I now have a different provider but you keep telling me to pay or my service will be suspended. I have phoned you twice already regarding this issue and thought it was sorted

@chris_kammy Apart from maybe 2 games the referees at this tournament have been lackluster at best, bordering on incompetent. VAR even worse. This has been the worst World Cup I've seen for the standard of refereeing.

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@FIFAWorldCup So FIFA are now allowing players to kick another player in the head without any consequences. Germany's goal should not have stood, no debate. That is endangering an opponent. UNBELIEVABLE! It just adds to the other umpteen poor refereeing performances in this WC

@BBCMOTD I don't like Madueke on the right. He is too predictable. Goes inside ALL the time. He needs to take the full back on down the outside

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@BBC Why are you cancelling every program on BBC1 to repeat things over and over? You have a 24 hours news channel to broadcast this continuously

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@UKLabour Be very careful! Andy Burnham is not as popular with a lot of the electorate as he is within the Labour party.

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@FIFAWorldCup With the exception of probably 2 games the referees at this tournament have been lackluster to say the least, and some of them have been downright awful

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@chris_kammy Remember this Kammy??

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@HACKETTREF This is a law I'd like to see changed. If a player is offside when the ball is played to a team mate then that team mate or the ball cannot then play that player onside. This is something that has annoyed me for years. He's gaining an advantage from being offside at the start.

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@Heidi_Labour Changing the leader of the party is not going to be enough in itself. Unless there is a fundamental change in attitude and policy Labour will keep failing. A word of caution Andy Burnham isn't seen as favourably outside of the Labour party as he is within!

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@wwfc_rj @FA_PGMOL This is why we should have 30 minute halves with the clock stopping every time the ball goes out of play. It would instantly stop 90% of time wasting

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@HACKETTREF As I have said for years, games should be two 30 minute halves and the clock should stop every time the ball goes out of play. This would instantly negate 90% of time wasting. VAR should also be used to determine contested corners as a lot of goals now come from corners.

@NFL What the?!! Your last 4 SuprlerBowl halftime shows have been less than inspiring. Is this really the best you can do??

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@sinktohell @HACKETTREF This falls under 'excessive force' in the laws and is a foul

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@BurgerKingUK Why do I have to pay for mayonnaise when ketchup is free? Surely you should offer one of a choice of condiments for free, not just ketchup!

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@NFL Offensive pass interference isn't called enough! I know you do r to take TDs away but sometimes it's so blatant and spoils enjoyment of the game. Also change the kick off back to how it was. Players so far down the field and can't move until the ball is caught is nonsense

[Darren Lear @dazoctaron]

@Channel5Sport It's good to see NFL on channel 5 but can you stop all the nonsense of the studio games please. They are just annoying.
