Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup
Trump on Balogun: "I saw the play, and I'm a person that loves sports ... that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction ... this referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past. He made a call that nobody could believe ... he's our best player, or one of our best players. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant ... yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."

Just seen the video of baby Preston being startled awake by his adoptive father. That tired eyed look in toddlers is so familiar to anyone who has ever loved and cared for a child. He's so bewildered, then anxious. Then his attempt at a little smile towards one of the evil bastards who ended his life is utterly, utterly heartbreaking. How we have failed that little boy.

The greatest moment the Stadium of Light has ever seen.
The sea fret. The mist. The flares. The celebrations. The limbs.
It will never, ever be beaten.
You just had to be there.

This is EXCRUCIATING to watch. This interview should immediately end John Healey's political career.
Even Sly News can see he's completely out of his depth, and amazingly they don't give him an inch.
I've never seen anything like it.
This is terrifying.
We are totally screwed
The US/Israeli attack on Iran and the widening hostilities in the region are exposing the growing scandal that is Britain’s military capabilities, or lack thereof. We are still in the world’s top 5/6 on defence spending yet:
We don’t have a single warship in the whole of the Mediterranean, despite the eastern Mediterranean becoming part of the theatre of war.
We don’t have a single warship in the Gulf. We have a naval base in Bahrain. But a base with no ships.
We don’t have any subs to deploy. The one active Astute Class sub is in Oz.
We have a handful of fighter jets in Cyprus.
And a smaller handful in Qatar (attached to Qatari airforce).
That’s it. Most of what’s left of the Navy — not even in the top 30 in the world in terms of warships these days — seems to be in repair/maintenance/renovation. Brilliant MoD planning.
Labour/Tories/LibDems who all had a shot at government these past 16 years need to be held to account.
When Ed Davey says Brit expats in the Gulf should pay for UK protection, exactly what protection does he have in mind that would be worth paying for?
