Here’s my thoughts on why Scotland are shit at the World Cup. Based on personal experience and anecdote. But bear with me.🧵

[Jonny McFarlane @jonnyrmcfarlane]

Personally don’t think Scotland were as bad across 3 games as the reaction, some of it toxic, suggests.

You can’t miss that many have, some understandable, gripes with the manager over tactical outlook, team selection and personal demeanour in media interviews.

I sympathise with some of that, but there can be no mistaking this was a brutally tough group.

Brazil are Brazil. Morocco are ranked higher than the Dutch and Germans for a reason. Haiti are no mugs and their off the cuff style is problematic to manage.

If anything, Clarke tried too hard to play out and be positive last night in his selections. Most punters and media were happy with the line-up before kick off. For sure, he tried to play football.

We are simply not capable of doing so and winning against the quality of opposition faced in Miami. If you played that game 100 times, how many are Scotland grabbing a result?

In retrospect, I bet Clarke wishes he stuck to his guns and went 5-4-1, stunk the place out and got the 1-0 defeat that likely puts us through. He would have been crucified, but we might just be closer to the last 32

Whatever Clarke did or didn’t do, there’s not much any manager can do about catastrophic individual errors.

We had three of them and each cost a goal. That’s on the players. Hanley, McKenna and Robertson are all experienced professionals who know the game inside out. The captain is a Champions League winner and needs no instruction in such circumstances.

For the third tournament in a row, many of these guys failed to show their club form, yet seldom few ask if there’s a reason for that.

As Ange Postecoglou said the other night in his ITV analysis of Scotland, our best players all excel in their leagues primarily through physicality. Thats the main reason they’re at top five league teams, not consistent technical mastery.

There’s bigger issues at play here, a much wider picture and only long-term strategic planning to produce more talent will help. A long road.

For me, if we are serious about a national team that consistency makes these tournaments and competes, the pathway needs to start with rules that force Premiership clubs to rear and play their talent. When virtually no Premiership side plays their kids with consistency, what chance have we really got?

[Luke @LukeWhosTalking]

Heartbreaking sign of what happens when people lacking in intelligence get radicalised by Facebook comment sections.

Choosing not to vaccinate your kids because you don't like Cycle lanes and couldn't go the pub for a few weeks 5 years ago, and this is where it spirals too.

我想呼籲大家，請大家用力轉發，全力支持我們奧運台灣隊拳擊國手林郁婷，一起為她加油！
​
台灣拳擊國手林郁婷，完完整整就是個女性，她身上有著哀傷的故事，她的教練曾在受訪時說過，郁婷當初是因為心疼媽媽屢被爸爸毆打才學習拳擊，孝順的她，一心想要保護媽媽！
​
林郁婷的外表，是因為她不斷努力練習、訓練、飲食控制，才能維持住這樣精壯結實的體態；但是現在卻被沒常識水準的IBA主席造謠，讓有心人士拿此做文章，故意找她麻煩！

一個從小就是女生的人，拿著女性身分證，扎扎實實的女性，因為她的外表和有心人士的造謠，讓她遭受攻擊；明明連國際奧會都宣布所有檢測，造謠的人拿不出報告不說，連JK羅琳都跟著起鬨，說是為女性發聲，實則冤枉無辜的人，還有一些台灣人拿這件事來訕笑，一樣都非常可惡！
​
所以我想呼籲大家，為林郁婷發聲，請全力支持她，請大家一起當林郁婷的後盾！

🥊林郁婷接下來的出賽時間：台灣時間8月2日晚間9時30分
​
🏅林郁婷將出賽女子拳擊57公斤級16強賽，將對戰烏茲別克選手圖爾迪別科娃（Sitora Turdibekova）
​
一起為林郁婷加油！💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Lin Yu-Ting is female and has been female since childhood.

What is terrifying is that J.K. Rowling, wielding her influence and always using a frantic approach, completely disregards the possibility of making mistakes and relentlessly attacks our athlete.

Yesterday, the incident involved an Italian athlete who felt that the punches from Algerian athlete Khalif were too heavy and said she "did not want to compete against a male," so she withdrew. Khalif is one of the athletes who had disputed biochemical data in their previous IBA tests with Lin Yu-Ting.

However, in the current International Olympic Committee (IOC) examination, both athletes were found to be completely normal. The IBA, which had previously disqualified them, has been suspended due to issues with unfair judging and corruption. The IBA was stripped of the status by the International Olympic Committee in June 2023.

Moreover, the IBA president "claimed" that these two athletes have XY chromosomes, but they "never actually tested chromosomes" and only "tested biochemical data."

So the IBA president was "guessing."

How can someone with XY chromosomes have normal testosterone levels in the Paris Olympics and other events, including the Tokyo Olympics?

Did they somehow remove their testes during blood tests and then put them back in for the competition?

It is natural for athletes to not be allowed to administer additional testosterone, so normal blood tests before the competition are expected. What more do you want to question?

Additionally, testosterone levels in females can naturally increase without medication, including a condition called DSD (Differences in Sex Development). Studies suggest that 7 out of every 1,000 female track athletes have DSD, with higher testosterone levels than typical females. However, medicine has yet to prove that testosterone levels are the absolute key to winning in sports. [1]

Next, let's talk about chromosomes. Did you know that some people's cells have a "45,X/46,XY mosaicism" ? [2]

Furthermore, men can lose Y chromosomes from many cells with age. This phenomenon is considered increasingly common. [3]

While you are defaming athletes who have been female since childhood, some of your cells might be silently undergoing changes you aren't aware of.

Rules for the world's highest-level competitions are not determined by novelists but by professional medical teams and the Olympic Boxing Working Group (PBU).

Our athletes are competing legally and in compliance with regulations. I will continue to support them, and Lin Yu-Ting also needs your efforts to debunk the rumors and full support! Go Yu-Ting!

When I met boxer Lin Yu-ting 林郁婷, I saw an athlete who is fearless in the face of challenges, whether they come from inside or outside the ring.
Today, when she represents #Taiwan on the Olympic stage, we will be behind her & all the Taiwanese Olympians making us proud.

This is actually the perfect representation of the "debate" about trans healthcare because one of these books is edited by two medical doctors and the other is written by a former Wall St Journal columnist who went on Joe Rogan
