Infantino has managed to make Blatter seem like a moral centre of integrity. That is how ludicrious the #FIFAcorruption is.

[Joseph S Blatter @SeppBlatter]

Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?

Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump

@VanCityMariner Still think this is the best riposte to anyone who thinks Kane is not phenomenal.

Late to this bit this is quite shocking and why I will fight Reform. It is an outragrous misrepresentation ans Jenrick defends it!

[Peston @itvpeston]

.@Peston: That is a travesty of Kemi Badenoch’s position!

@RobertJenrick: No it isn’t.

Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick is shown @KemiBadenoch’s GMB interview and denies ‘manipulating’ a tragedy to score ‘petty political points’

@HertsGTFC It does mate. My Mum passed away suddenly and unexpectedly nearly a full year ago now and yet at random points the emotion floods all over. Normally triggered by the most obscure and odd things. Hope as time passes there are fewer hard days and more happy memory days.

@scratch45 We have been promoted twice since we last won a home playoff game. It's harder now but not over.

Oh I so love this. So pleased we are dishing this out to Runaway! #gtfc

[Doug Jefferson 🇺🇦 @doug_jeff]

@HertsGTFC @officialgtfc Am so sorry to hear that. Though so nice to have a cherished moment. Thoughts with him you and your family!

@trussliz @realDonaldTrump Including when he disparaged our troops by saying they stood back right? Thank goodness you are no longer my MP!

[Doug Jefferson 🇺🇦 @doug_jeff]

@GoodwinMJ @labourpress @UKLabour You also clearly said developing? I mean this honestly reads like you are advocating for those policies.

[Doug Jefferson 🇺🇦 @doug_jeff]

@MikeyMcMahon Very sorry to hear that. Totally get it. Thinking of you and your family.

@The_Fenners @keizel1985 Studied at Colchester and Layer Road was ace. Proper odd little ground. Describe the new place as a service station. Such a shame as Colchester could be a great place for an away day.

We are witnessing what happens when an unhinged idiot becomes President of the most powerful country in the world. What is alarming is how many people still think they can use his idiocy to advance their own interests rather than calling out that Trump is an unhinged idiot.

@TheBritishIntel @Keir_Starmer Is really interesting that in a message about Christmas you respond suggesting that Christian values are not reflected in letting people in from other countries.

Have Sky for a month and as someone who rarely watches Premier League football I am stunned how awful the atmosphere is these days. Everton v Arsenal, Spurs v Liverpool and tonight Fulham v Forest and on each occassion sound has been as if it was being played in a library.

[Doug Jefferson 🇺🇦 @doug_jeff]

@Baz_GTFC @EmiratesFACup No idea what made it special or how they can keep it special. Instead rather flog it for every penny of TV money in spite of the fact that will still lead to diminishing returns as TV companies juat want big clashes they can gey elsewhere.

[Doug Jefferson 🇺🇦 @doug_jeff]

So if I follow Trump's proposal for Ukraine, it is to give Russia what they want? He really is an atrocious fool and tool. Feel for those directly impacted. Also worry for the future of us all as the fact many American's support the idiot really is an issue.

[Doug Jefferson 🇺🇦 @doug_jeff]

I have mo words. This is literally the most ludicrous thing I have witnessed. To all those "Utd fans" at school who mocked me being a Town fan...enjoy this!!

[Doug Jefferson 🇺🇦 @doug_jeff]

@itvfootball I know you don't do much research but "Sing when we're fishing" is a Grimsby anthem, not a United taunt! Please do some proper research on lower league clubs.

[Doug Jefferson 🇺🇦 @doug_jeff]

@officialgtfc I mean I am avoiding twitter.......but this is too awesome!!

[Doug Jefferson 🇺🇦 @doug_jeff]

@DN35GTFC @TheVanaramaNL In this world little can be said to be certain, but death, taxes and the NL being just generally useless.
