New podcast format with Shabira C and @douglaschats called 1% Inspiration. First episode challenge: each of us had to come up with a new restaurant concept and my Mum decided which one was best 👑

@Unthinkable_Now @rickedwards1 @rachelburden @5liveSport what do you think of this idea?

[Peter Cassidy @petercassidy_]

A tweak to make penalty shoot-outs a tiny bit fairer - use (the now standard) xG from the match to decide who goes first

[Unthinkable @Unthinkable_Now]

Penalty shoot-outs are fun but feel like a lottery with zero relation to the 120 minutes of football that went before. Here's a small tweak to make them fairer #EUROS2024 #penalties https://t.co/Hs4b21kVP4

Why European football is broken....and how to fix it

[Unthinkable @Unthinkable_Now]

Forget the Super League. To save European football, we need Supra Leagues (article by @petercassidy_ )https://t.co/P7RhMQOxfY

@Unthinkable_Now @RestIsFootball worth a debate lads?

[Unthinkable @Unthinkable_Now]

National head coach too big and too important for one person. Elite managers less likely to be interested. Coaching staff likely sub-standard and time with players too short. Solution: 3 Wise Minds committee 1/3

@NickyAACampbell this is the only answer for Scotland (and to everyone’s benefit) https://t.co/Lwk39SjzFZ

@Malachians Hey Phil- rugby shows that there’s no substitute for strong local teams. I published this earlier this week - it would be huge change but for the benefit of all (including national teams I think)

@RMcGreevy1301 Maybe UEFA would be tempted by equalising the relative power of the leagues and creating a more balanced federal structure :) Good idea re the tournament - only travel/distances a potential issue…

Hv 2 x EasyJet flights booked from Glasgow to Berlin that fly on Monday.

I can't go 🙄 am very happy to sell them to anyone who can cover the transfer costs ( like, i don't want to make a profit, you'd just have to reimburse cost & pay to put them in your own name)

European football has become too predictable - its time to think the #unthinkable and scrap national leagues
