Hey @TSN_Sports - if you’re going to insist on showing commercials during the hydration breaks at the World Cup, can you at least ensure the ads finish BEFORE play has restarted?

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

@TheHomelyBaby @JRoc23 Zoned out during the interview (I mean…) - didn’t realise they actually put oyster stats on the screen. That’s hilarious.

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

No offence Dylan Cease (you’re great!), but I want to watch the game - I don’t need to hear about your favourite art galleries or oyster restaurants right now. An entire @BlueJays inning missed because of an interview. And now we have “Coverage will resume shortly”. Laughable.

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

First time watching @MLB on @AppleTV and hoping it’s the last. Poor commentary, distracting stats popping up everywhere, interviews during play. Missed a double because the reporter was talking when she could’ve done that in the minute of “ambience” prior to it. Awful coverage.

@nicolaselhani @abonaserynwa @tdnightingale In Canada, Fubo has the PL rights and DAZN has UCL. What you’re paying for is essentially both services, but accessing them just through Fubo. You can just have one or the other - I just get PL because I couldn’t justify the price of both together.

Hi @TimHortons - was told today in store that the new Maple Butter Donut cannot be included in a box of six as it’s a limited edition donut and not a classic (despite the label saying otherwise). If true that kinda goes against your whole “forever” marketing campaign, doesn’t it?

@RobHodder101 @Electric_Av_ And, potentially, Portland.

@nocontextfm1 FC Saarbrücken, who competed in the first European Cup in 1955 as a representative of Saarland before it became part of West Germany. Now in the German third tier, the goal would have to be to return them to the European stage!

Hi @SportsInt, @FootballManager, @FM_Assist - I know you've had plenty of feedback already, but I urge you to watch this video by @grayhairgaming. Probably the fairest take I think you're going to find on FM26 so far. Proof that there's room for reasoned discussion these days!

Tried to have a balanced chat here. I'm sure that will work on the internet.

@nocontextfm1 Did a five-year spell at Seattle as part of a journeyman save. A steep learning curve but once you understand the rules it’s actually a lot of fun. Impossible to keep hold of your best players though, so you’re constantly rebuilding your squad.

@Lucas90926143 @premierleague I think something has gone wrong somewhere. I was able to go back and watch the pre-match of AVL-NEW - it was the usual presentation you’d expect, and then around the 85th minute of the game the feed dropped and it’s been this faceless coverage since. Opening day glitches?

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

@premierleague What the heck is this on “Premier League Live” for the overseas viewers? Where’s Goal Rush, where are the pundits?

I can only assume something has gone wrong, because if this is your idea of “coverage” it’s terrible.

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

@PooleTownFC All the best to Shaq, he’s been awesome for Dorch.

But “make the step up”? Behave.

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

@nocontextfm1 I once attempted to only sign Brazilians for Cowdenbeath (due to the club’s nickname of the Blue Brazil). The save swiftly ended when I discovered that no-one would sign for the club.

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

@RobHodder101 @DorchTownFC @shaquille10_ 40 goals in 119 appearances in all competitions. 39 in 106 games in the league.

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

@RobHodder101 @DorchTownFC Well that’s just sent me down a Harchester United rabbit hole - I’ve discovered that the lad who played the scouser Billy went on to direct Adolescence!

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

@Joshua_Cole04 Dorch fan here in Canada - was only able to listen to injury time and ET, which was perhaps the worst part I could’ve chosen. Personally hurt to listen to, but I couldn’t fault your passion for what was clearly a bonkers game of football. Good job - all the best for the final.

@SoVeryBritish People who add water to the last bit of soap in the dispenser in an attempt to “finish it up”, causing it to spray everywhere when the next poor soul uses it.

[James Tizzard @jatizzard]

@ScarredForLife2 Whenever I hear “Jackanory” I have always automatically thought of George’s Marvellous Medicine. Likewise, whenever I think of the book or talk about it to my kids, I immediately think about or bring up Rik Mayall. Synonymous.
