Most of the time I love SA rugby Twitter. But there are three occasions on which we regularly embarrass ourselves:

1. Blaming a ref for a loss

2. Defending Rassie’s off-field actions regardless of what they are

3. Refusing to concede a non-Bok is the best in the world or GOAT

Great to see Andy Cole on The Overlap. What that show has been missing is discussion about Alex Ferguson’s Man United team and the current state of the club.

Ref Watch and Dermot Gallagher is absolutely pointless now. Unless it’s meant to be a parody of a fellow referee constantly defending even the most outrageous of refereeing errors, it’s just become a nonsense.

[Paul Higham @SportsPaulH]

Absolutely pathetic from Dermot Gallagher yet again - such a pointless segment as he yet again makes excuses for shambolic refereeing

We need a clearout of these ex-refs backing their pals as well as those clowns on the field too

[Luke Thorrold @LukeThorrold]

Liverpool will finish exactly where they deserve to this season. The league table doesn’t lie.

But my goodness the state of refereeing in the Premier League is beyond a shambles.

I swear this happens

[Kyle Porter @KylePorterNS]

This is incredible.

[Luke Thorrold @LukeThorrold]

🤦🏻‍���️ You can’t make this up. This is unbelievable. It would make for a really good Parks & Rec episode.

Only it’s not so funny when it’s real. And an incredibly significant waste of time and financial resources for years. 🥲

[Rob Forbes @RobForbesDJ]

Imagine building a thing, having that thing completely fail for decades, and then you're giving a football celebration when your failure has finally failed so spectacularly that you had to quit?

This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen.

Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has praised referee Michael Oliver for his decision to not award Liverpool a penalty during the 1-1 draw between the two sides at Anfield on Sunday.

[Luke Thorrold @LukeThorrold]

I’m sorry, what?! 😳

“Maybe the owners are…I’m not in those conversations until the last stage.”

Surely Arteta and his staff should have a significant say early on with transfer targets and even propose those to the owners for the team HE is managing and shaping? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🔴⚪️ Arteta on Arsenal to be in conversation for Kylian Mbappé: “Why not?”.

“If we want to be the best team, we are going to need the best talent & the best players”.

“I am not involved. Maybe Edu and the owners are, I’m not in those conversations until the last stage”.

[Luke Thorrold @LukeThorrold]

The inconsistency in refereeing and VAR this season is something else. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m all for carding dissent and stamping it out the game, but it needs to be consistent.

The case of least dissent shown here was punished. And a repeat offender unpunished on the other side.

[Luke Thorrold @LukeThorrold]

I can’t believe this is real! 😅🫣

[Tight Five Rugby @TightFive_Rugby]

What a stupid passage of play.

[Luke Thorrold @LukeThorrold]

Why does Sky seem to think that if you’re good in the studio you can obviously commentate? They are vastly different.

I actually quite enjoy Neville in studio, but neither him nor Carragher should commentate. I almost feel for Peter Drury more than for us viewers.

[Henry Jackson @HenryJackson87]

Really is time to take Neville off commentary in games, regardless of who's playing. He's become offensively bad.

Just keep him in the studio where he can be good.

This is one of the best videos on church I have seen.

I have genuinely experienced what he describes multiple times in my 20 years as a church leader.

Serving tea & coffee on a Sunday morning is awesome! (As is all other serving 😊)

[Luke Thorrold @LukeThorrold]

@YesWeCrann Unbelievable. I moved over on the spousal visa 4 years ago and my wife needed £18,600 to support me.

Would love to see the logic behind that £38,700 number (more than doubling in that time). 😑

What a ridiculous decision. Targeting skilled workers and spouses? 🤦🏻‍♂️
