When you're not doing so well, vote for a better life for yourself. If you are doing quite nicely, vote for a better life for others.

[Scotland National Team @ScotlandNT]

Scotland Men’s Head Coach Steve Clarke has stepped down from his role.

Our most successful National Team Head Coach has called time on his seven years in charge following our participation at the FIFA World Cup 2026.

@henrywinter Main reason is we’ve not faired economically well under the union, thus not attractive for immigrants. Population roughly the same since WW2.

An Eng team without the augmentation of aspirational African-Caribbean and Irish immigrants would look pretty much like the current Sco.

This is the year when the game of two halves became the game of four quarters. And the greatest sport and event was damaged for fistfuls of dollars. Hydration breaks ruin the game’s flow and frustrates fans and viewers. If hydration breaks were solely about player welfare then they would be linked to the temperature in the stadia. It’s a nonsense having a three-minute break in an air-conditioned arena.

Fifa should long ago have established a working party of coaches, sports scientists, national team doctors and Fifpro to agree a set temperature at kickoff, say 25C, which triggers the breaks. That would prove the breaks were for player welfare. At the moment, and to nobody’s surprise, it is widely accepted that these breaks are for US TV to accommodate commercials. Big bucks for the small screen.

Fifa should have thought more about the effect on games and to fan (and viewer) experience when negotiating. Coaches’ desire for a mid-half tactical time-out masquerading as a drinks stop should be resisted anyway. Games have been played for 150 years without needing such intervention. Coaches can shout instructions. And who says that 22 mins and 67 mins is when a coach needs to intervene anyway. It’s nonsense. It’s about money.

Respected and sane footballing voices from Virgil van Dijk to Mauricio Pochettino have spoken out against the breaks. Fifa should listen to them not appear only to listen to the rustle of dollar bills. It’s important that there is resistance to this from all over. Because if we tolerate this, our TV games could be next. BBC can’t do ads, ITV says it won’t follow its US counterparts. But it has been discussed by TV people. It’ll come one day. #FIFAWorldCup.

[Mark Harrison @MarkHarrison23]

It seems the main reason why David Sullivan was allow to keep owning West Ham right now despite being banned from women and kids teams is because the FA never actually bothered to tell the Premier League he was banned

This is a complete abject failure from the FA.

[Hammers United @HammersUnited2]

We don’t give a flying fuck about Martin Samuel’s thoughts on West Ham, but I am sure some will.

The same Martin Samuel who shills for our ex CEO, Karren Brady.

[Sacha Wall @sachaistreem]

There’s so much more I want to say and so much more to come out, this is just the tip of the iceberg as many of you know. David Sullivan has used classic abuser fear and litigation tactics to keep everyone silent from even mentioning his name, and his denial that any of it even happened is blatantly him just continuing to think he can gaslight the nation…

I commend all the women that have come forward, the worst the ‘interview’ was for them, the harder it is to even think about it, let alone talk about it

I know there are so many more out there, and I appeal to all to reach out to me with no fear of his power anymore

For now I just want to wholeheartedly thank EVERYONE for all the support, thanks to all the journalists who have fought with us, as when the police let all the victims down, without the press help and putting serious time and millions of pounds resources into it, we women would have had no chance to speak about this man 🙏

To the real West Ham fans I salute you, with your help and support we can together make a difference for our daughters futures, stop them being groomed into sex work, and stop this pattern of the predator ever happening again

To each and everyone of you thank you, those that know me know that I believe in people power and freedom of expression, peace, love,unity and respect, we are one ☝️

There’s much more of this story on what happened when I tried to talk about it on my YouTube and Substack, more to follow (link in bio)

Thank you for listening 🙏🙏💪
