Interesting how no one ever mentions Bronzes inability to get back to position now that she hasn’t got the legs anymore.
We know she’s a warrior but she is part of the problem. Greenwood saved us today.
The reality is, England’s defence has been patchy, leaky and inconsistent over the last 12 months and there has not been enough experimentation to address or figure it before the Euros. This is the result of the lack of trying LWB, Le-Tissier and even Morgan in the back.
Hi Alfie - lifting the lid on this is horrendous work and sifting through these experiences must be grim. Thanks for amplifying these brave voices. I want to highlight that the more stories get shared, the silver lining has been the collective voice of male colleagues and allys getting louder around this issue.
To the lads - your response is arguably most important in this discussion as it is ultimately you who will turn the tide.
Calling out the abuse as it unfolds it is not enough. It starts out hidden in plain sight, within inside jokes in the brew room and in the group chats we aren’t included in. Find the bottle to call out those repetitive red flag jokes or remarks because these creeps landing a laugh is the gateway to confidence building for further advance.
Females left to call things out are often pushed out of the click or sidelined by labels of ‘no fun’ or ‘sense of humour’. Keep having the backs of ALL colleagues in the rooms they aren’t in, and help stamp it out in spaces we aren’t there to do it ourselves. This is appreciated so much more than you know❤️
Ps - if this gets shared, shoutout to the reg WO2 based in North West who spent years not just gaslighting/grooming/pursuing young and vulnerable reserve soldiers under your care, but boldly bragging about it too… I hope you see this. I hope embarrassment and shame consumes you from the fact your friends and colleagues will see this too and picture your slimy face.
How did international superstar Eartha Kitt end up at a market stall in Batley, tasting tripe and being taught how to sing Yorkshire's unofficial 'national anthem'?
I’ll be thinking of Dave “Joey” Deacon this year, like every year. The kindest person I have ever met and worked with, absolutely larger than life. Sadly took his life whilst we were in BATUS 2018, I spoke with him only a day before and always think back if I missed something obvious. AeM.
@smokymozzarella Yeah listening to Iwan Thomas on Discovery say pretty much the same was frustrating. Buzzing that Kat has an Olympic medal to hang next to her worlds.
@discoveryplus listening to this commentating you would think that Katarina Johnson-Thompson had never won anything before. Only world champion twice 🙄
Buzzing she gets an olympic medal!! And finally over 14m #justdoneit 😂
@BBCSport there are 326 GB athletes competing in #ParisOlympics2024 can we stop with the Adam Peaty videos? I haven’t seen a single Kim Woods interview and she won Bronze today..?

@BBCiPlayer just clicked on ‘live Judo’ and you’re showing me a highlight about carbon emissions in paris. How do i watch the actual olympics?
Every channel is swimming?!@BBCSport
So after waiting a lifetime for the athletes to get to the Eiffel tower, the flame is now speeding BACK down the river.
Nadal, Serena and Carl lewis have been taken hostage.
France…guys.
#OpeningCeremony
Timing of this ceremony is terrible. And the vibe is depressing.
If the spice girls arnt clinging to the roof of a black cab whats the point?
#OlympicGames#Paris2024
ah yes the former world record holder, world champion, European champion and CW champion just ‘never gets it right’ 🙄 What a stupid thing to say.
A question she wasn't expecting lead to an absolute brain fart response.
A lot of ppl agreeing or suggesting I vote Reform. (thread)
1. As important as opposing self-id is, I am not a single issue voter. This country needs urgent reform to all public sector services, including criminal courts. This country needs to do something about child poverty.
