Betting shops are licensed, regulated, taxed, and employ tens of thousands of people.

Grouping them with “dodgy businesses” isn’t a serious description of a regulated sector.

It’s also aimed at the wrong target. Betting shops: 8,822 → 5,872 over the decade. Adult gaming: 1,610 → 1,502. Barbers: 2,953 → 18,078. Takeaways: 2,882 → 13,478.

Whatever has reshaped the high street, it isn’t gambling premises. And with each new announcement, more jobs are lost.

(2/2) It’s given to the goalkeeper who has had the greatest impact and often to one who wins the World Cup.

Additionally, if you like Ecuador defensively, chances are Galindez will be well-shielded and may not have a chance to stake a claim anyway!

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

(1/2) Seen a lot of love for Ecuador’s Hernan Galindez 🇪🇨 in the Golden Glove betting…

… just a reminder that this market is typically settled based on who FIFA award it to - and that does not have to be the player with the most clean sheets….

Astonishing England are through to the semi-finals. Knockout football requires grit and resolve but the lack of ingenuity is embarrassing. Turkey, Georgia and Austria brought far more to the tournament than England, who have been one of the worst-coached teams at #Euro2024

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

@_chrisquinn Thank you! Good couple of winners!

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

@CRivers5 Easy!

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

@JustEatUK Still waiting on a response from my query which I sent a DM about yesterday / tweeted about. Not impressed at all

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

@JustEatUK I have a gift card to redeem but the code on it is completely ineligible? I have tried to contact via direct message but got no reply and you don’t seem to have a contact phone number? Could I please have some help

Such a brilliant journalist. Not seen anyone sum up the Gary Lineker situation better than this 👍🏻

[Kaveh Solhekol @SkyKaveh]

Gary Lineker suspended by the BBC for upsetting the Conservatives because he stood up for some of the most vulnerable people in the world. The same BBC whose chairman gave the Conservatives £400,000 before helping to arrange an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

Dear oh dear 😅

[BBC Breaking News @BBCBreaking]

Gary Lineker to step back from presenting Match of the Day until agreement reached on social media use - BBC statement https://t.co/WMsgqRzWrw

Banter and wind-ups between fans and players is part and parcel of the game. Kicking one another is not. Richard Keys adopting a bizarre and misguided take as usual - and once again showing Arteta lives rent free in his head 😂

[beIN SPORTS @beINSPORTS_EN]

🗣️ "The guy in the middle there [Arteta] is most to blame for the inflammatory behaviour touchline that winds people up!"

@richardajkeys has his say on the post-match scenes following the North London derby.

Best first-half performance from us this season. Got Ramsdale to thank too but very strong performance nonetheless. Wouldn’t quite have us odds-on for the title with two games against Man City to come but must admit I’m starting to believe. #COYG

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

@Alex_Kerr9 @RobertIger Well worth a read, especially if interested in the ways big companies operate at the very top!

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

Just finished reading this by @RobertIger - so insightful. Loved reading about the acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm and it’s full to the brim with business advice and how to simply treat people better. I’m a big Disney fan but this is a great read for anyone 👍🏻

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

Earlier this year we went on the holiday of a lifetime to Florida and vlogged the trip. Now, for those who don’t fancy sitting through a series of multiple vlogs, I’ve made one big highlights video showing our trip from start to finish 😊 Check it out: https://t.co/GilSeSX8TA

If you haven’t already, go and see Avatar: The Way of Water. Didn’t feel like a sequel and built so well on the first film. Great effects, underlying message and incredibly immersive.

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

Best World Cup final I have watched and few true football fans can be unhappy with its conclusion. So pleased for Lionel Messi, the GOAT regardless of how that game unfolded 🏆

[Jonny Sharples @JonnyGabriel]

There are people that won't believe Lionel Messi is the best player of all time until he's played in a league that even Dave Kitson and Cameron Jerome have managed to hit double figures in.

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

@3boodhfc21 But what role did South Africa play in that? The nation of Qatar in no way influenced the performance of Morocco against Portugal.

[Liam Flin @flin_liam]

Struggle to understand those praising Qatar for hosting the ‘best World Cup ever’. The host nation has absolutely no control over the quality of football on the pitch? Bizarre viewpoint.
