@ProfThomasDixon Hi @ProfThomasDixon, Apologies for writing here, we have tried email addresses. My dad was watching PBS where you gave a commentary on '1939, The Lead up to War' and thinks we have a family connection and he has some old family photos. Is there an email for you? Thanks Matt

Made my day

A historic failure

[Matt Stone @mattst1]

@martynziegler If the 5 secs starts from the moment thrower gets it, there's value in that team delaying getting the ball to the thrower.

[Matt Stone @mattst1]

@martynziegler This would definitely be an issue. I remember a Vauxhall Conference trial where no offsides from free kicks in own half. Massive pile ups on top of keepers. Also what happens if you can't get ball back within 5 secs?

[Matt Stone @mattst1]

@achrislatham Dress up as the keeper?

[Matt Stone @mattst1]

@achrislatham @HenryStaelens Struggling with this logic. Put PPE, care homes etc aside, if he'd got the calls wrong, Tories would say he should resign? How many right calls gets you off? How are these two connected? Ukraine: we aren't actually at war are we? France seems to be coping with an actual election

@FGRVlogs Swindon national team call ups

@Adam_Levene @AlexStone7 I think possibly @Urban_Country and @dougcheese's 1996 "Virtual Terrace" for the Euros could lay claim to that. For some reason Microsoft passed on that idea.

[Matt Stone @mattst1]

@AlexStone7 ah happy times. Always thought it had legs. I've seen #Joinin used a few times too. I think the idea might have been @Adam_Levene though!

@alexbellos @benlyt HI Alex, Matt Stone here, we met in Brazil when I worked for FIFA. Love the football school - my lad sent a message to Ben on why ref cards weren't stripy or spotty, he read out on the video, made his day! He's 7, at school in Stroud, if you're near. Cheers, Matt

@AlexStone7 @tariqpanja Good to see Alan Biley in the background there. Top shirt. As was my first, Spurs 1981 satin number…

[Matt Stone @mattst1]

Genius at work.

I’ve never seen anything like this on film before. Paul really has nothing at the 30 second mark—but 45 seconds later he’s got the makings of a hit single. https://t.co/kvGOp1yuZs

@SamuraiSpurs @WSC_magazine @DanishMFA At start of Group stage my brother and I put bets on at 100/1 for Yugoslavia to win the tournament. While I realise there were some other geo-political events at the time, it's not something I've got over.
