@RokerReport Agree with all of that except I thought Traore had shown enough pre Xmas that he was worth another year. Him getting the same injury again on his first game back probably scuppered it for him
In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry.
Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances".
Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.
This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.
@TheRestHistory Delighted to hear the name of South Shields native John Simpson-Kirkpatrick in this episode. His statue is still as splendid as ever in my hometown
Another @northernassist special today. 8:10 from Horsforth never arrived and vanished from the time table with no announcement. Much hilarity now ensuing on the next overcrowded service
Same government that said dualling the A1 wasn’t worth it. So rather than spend money that will massively improve people’s lives we’ll build roads to a theme park in the middle of nowhere
BREAKING: Europe's first Universal theme park is being built in the UK with £1.3bn in taxpayer support, it has been announced
Chancellor Rachel Reeves says that 'the £1.3bn is for infrastructure. It is for the roads and a new railway station.'

Scarborough is the premier "outground" for Yorkshire County Cricket Club. While Headingley in Leeds is Yorkshire's primary headquarters, the team travels to Scarborough's North Marine Road every summer to play a selection of their home County Championship matches.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of legendary coach and broadcaster John Kear!
As a club, the whole of Wakefield Trinity would like to pass on our thoughts and condolences to his wife, family and friends during this time and join the Rugby League family in saying he will be dearly missed.
I could never really be friends with or spend any personal time with someone who doesn't immediately know the answer to this question. Sorry, but there it is. Not negotiable.
