That moment when you start hitting a few iron shots, look up and see Jordan Spieth and Michael… https://t.co/i6aJfcYe1v

@SJohnsonSport Delap, closely followed by Garnacho, then Fofana, Badiashile, Jorgensen, Gusto, Neto, Cucurella (because this is the last chance to really cash in) and Enzo Fernandez (because defensively him and Cole are a liability so one needs to go).

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

There’s the difference. Sunderland ecstatic about getting Europa League football, Chelsea players and majority of fans didn’t want it. Apparently they’re too good for it. League position would suggest otherwise.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

Why not add to the red card tally to complete a wretched season. The Chelsea way.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

Tuchel made the right decision leaving out Foden and Palmer. However, picking Spence over Hall, Shaw and Lewis-Skelly is outrageous.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

Please don’t let me sit through another Liam Delap performance in a Chelsea shirt ever again. It’s like watching a goalkeeper who’s been asked to play outfield. All limbs and no quality.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

These Chelsea players are so negative. Constantly turn back to keep possession for the sake of keeping possession 😴

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

@TheSecretScout_ He was looking slow in the FA Cup final. His legs may have gone.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

Yet another ridiculous decision. Any other team and that’s a red card.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

Just ordered two black gloves, 14 new headcovers, a pack of castle tees and a coaching plan from @Meandmygolf.

The Aaron Rai effect!

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

One question I'm often asked is, “Who's the nicest golfer you've interviewed?”

Well, he's just won the @PGAChampionship! He's easily the most polite, well-mannered and incredibly thoughtful sportsman I've ever had the privilege to interview.

He has a wonderful story, too.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

AARON RAI!!!!! This is an absolute clinic 👏

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

That is one of the worst refereeing decisions I’ve seen… and there have been some shockers this season. Wow.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

That’s one way to get the fans back onside after an atrocious campaign (and the loss today). Change the strategy now, clear out the deadwood (of which there’s a lot), bring some experience in & please replace Garnacho with a competent left winger. I’ll drive Delap to his new club

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Agreement complete for Xabi Alonso to become Chelsea manager. 44yo Spaniard visited London early last week & accepted opportunity; 4yr contract now finalised - announcement imminent. Primary target throughout + wanted #CFC move @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/4022hQsMXA

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

Same old story. Another shocking officiating display in an FA Cup final. Khusanov got away with a lot.

Cracking goal to win it, though.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

Yet further evidence that Colwill makes such a difference in this Chelsea team. Refreshing to see a centre half play forward and through the lines, rather than going sideways or backwards every time.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

So glad I transferred VVD out of my FPL team and benched Rogers. Throwing points and money away!

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

It's happening, people! Spieth is going to win the career grand slam this week.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

Thank you 😄

[Chris @Nomadicscotsman]

I understand the emotion around a huge penalty decision in a massive game. Football does that to people.

But at some point emotion has to give way to evidence. When freeze frames, angles and clear contact are sitting right in front of us, denying it because it doesn’t suit your team or narrative just kills any honest debate.

What’s even worse is when professionals and pundits, who know the game inside out, deliberately drive a narrative to suit an agenda rather than analyse what’s actually in front of them. That only fuels tribalism and misinformation.

You can debate consistency. You can debate interpretation. But you can’t just ignore unrefutable evidence because it’s inconvenient. Football discussion is far better when honesty matters more than point scoring.

[Michael Catling @Michael_Catling]

Am I in the minority thinking this was a penalty? His hand is sandwiched between his head and ball at the point of contact. No matter how minimal the contact is, it’s a penalty. And by jumping up with his hand that high, he is giving the officials a decision to make.

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

This might be the worst VAR decision I’ve seen (and there’s a lot of competition). Extraordinary given the significance.
