With all due respect, Marcelo Bielsa is past his sell by date. One common myth in today’s game is that he still has it. Burns through players/programs and leaves them in rubble.
When was the last time he’s won anything in the first division? #Uruguay
Beirut right now!
People and motorcycle groups have occupied the roads in Beirut in protest of the Lebanese authorities signing and agreement with Israeli enemy that "legalized " their occupation of South Lebanon and gave legal immunity to Netanyahu regarding his warcrimes.
"A high court judge has just greenlit criminal proceedings against Rajiv Menon KC, one of the UK's most prominent human rights barristers...this unprecedented move has sent shockwaves through the legal profession and is actively terrifying junior defence lawyers."
Courts aren't just gagging defendants – now they're threatening independent lawyers with prison for reminding jurors that, when deciding on a case, they can use their conscience.
Justice Jeremy Johnson has continued with his attempt to have Rajiv Menon KC, the human rights barrister who represented one of the recently sentenced Filton 4, convicted of contempt of court.

Not a single COBRA meeting. No dedicated officers to protect the community. Just a few tweets.
An explosion happened today morning in the outskirts of my village Doweir. Investigation lead to the discovery of many unexploded ordanances and munitions disguised as colorful kids footballs.
Israelis never fail to open a new low for human standards, and to be remembered as the Ghouls of our era.
A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.
Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.
Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.
In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.
These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.
Kids shouldn't be on social media, they should be in an underfunded classroom with 40 other kids watched over by a corrupt cop while a government-approved AI chatbot patiently teaches them that Palestinians aren't human and reports them to CSIS if they ask too many questions
@leighbeadon@Nnwwzz124 Don't forget force infecting them on repeat with SARS-COV-2 and other preventable airborne pathogens, while giving them heatstroke & lead in their water.
No, they didn’t.
One of them, Sam Corner, was found to have injured Sgt Evans without intent.
There was no such accusation against any of the others.
Kemi Badenoch committed contempt of court on live television during their trial.
The judge who just sentenced Palestine activists as terrorists was previously paid to represent the interests of MI6 and the Ministry of Defence.

After being sentenced to a total of 25 years between them for damaging 40 Israeli military assets, the prison van carrying 4 of the Filton 25 has been blockaded by supporters outside the court for over half an hour.
🚨BREAKING -- The Palestine Action defendants have been sentenced for a combined total of more than 25 years.
Charlotte Head - 6 years
Leona Kamio - 6 years
Fatema Zainab - 5 years and 8 months
Samuel Corner - 8 years and 8 months
Very sad. Israelis ran a fake charity purportedly to help children in Gaza that served as “a honeypot: a decoy built to attract people who wanted to help – in this case, by aiding Palestinians – and to take donors' money, their personal data or both.”
Boycott the World Cup.
Have some shame and don't go to matches.
Your instant gratification is not more important than respecting the loss of life. You're contributing to killing people.
Just be humane and boycott it.
FIFA botched the investigation into the sexual abuse of minors in Haiti 🇭🇹 at the FIFA-Goal centre in Croix-des-Bouquets, where some young girls were even forced to have abortions
It has NEVER wanted to shed light on everything that happened and has protected several paedophiles (including the former national technical director, despite the direct testimony of one of the victims corroborated by several internal sources ; don't tell me it didn't happened, I bring all these people personally to the FIFA Ethics committee and I was there when some of them gave statement because they asked me too)
FIFA is also allowing Carlo Marcelin, then secretary general of the Federation and fully aware of the acts, to carry on undisturbed; I imagine he will be present at the World Cup
FIFA abandoned the Haitian girls and also the boys, since in that same FIFA-GOAL centre, the former Minister for Sport, Evans Lescouflair, was also involved in the abuse that led to the suicide of a boy (Charlin Bernardin)
Whilst Lescouflair was arrested by Interpol following complaints, notably from the Haitian ambassador to UNESCO, Claude-Alix Bertrand, and my investigations, FIFA has never taken any action on this matter either
On the other hand, for nearly six years now, it has allowed a Normalisation Committee to remain in Haiti that resolves nothing and does very little, with no elections or progress, and which was even headed by a ... Cuban (it has never happened before that a foreigner has headed a national federation), Luis Hernandez, who did not even speak French, let alone Creole
When girls received death threats due to leaks from FIFA, world football’s governing body did nothing and I had to sort this out personally through contacts on the ground, with the help of certain people at FIFPro
So let me never hear again that FIFA has done anything for Haiti, other than causing the blood of young girls and boys to be shed
Haven't seen this World Cup visa denial story circulating yet. Moroccan player Zakaria El Ouahdi, who plays in Belgium's top division, was initially denied a US visa on the basis that his father has what authorities deemed a suspicious beard
