Pessimistically cynical optimist. Purveyor of puns. Pedantic for the good of the people. Lancashire boy living even further North.

@MrABoyce @Rovers That'd be cracking.

@uttdkola One of the greatest players of his generation.

Watching Argentina V Jordan highlights. Can't understand why VAR doesn't rule out the first goal cuz it shouldn't have been a FK. And then VAR does get involved to award a penalty for a player putting his head at waist height. It's like being in a parallel universe.

Some major delusions coming from Darren Cann in the #SCOVBRA game. Got away with some bad defending there, but it's absolutely a foul.

@DanClough87 He was very good when I was a kid. In so far as everyone said so, as I didn't properly follow football at a young age. Best ever? Maybe. He and Kane are probably the least contentious picks out of whole XI.

[Callum McKeefery @rovercal]

I'd love for there to be a valid reason for that not to be a penalty, but there isn't. It's a clumsy challenge, and a penalty every single time. #fraVsen #worldCup2026

How the fuck is that it a pen to Egypt there?

[Callum McKeefery @rovercal]

@theawayfans Relatively, I'd say yes. But sports science has improved player fitness, speed and agility so much in that time. It's hard to see the old timers winning if they played each other.

[Callum McKeefery @rovercal]

@journoyt @theawayfans I don't massively disagree, but Anderton was very good when he wasn't injured. But on the subject of Workd class, who in the current team is? Kane excepted.

Alan Shearer bigging up Zinedine Zidane on BBC at the mo. And rightly so. But obviously secretly thinking. He's no Tim Sherwood. #worldCup2026

@phavlovah Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima

Dying for a Qatari equaliser here. Switzerland have been pretty dire against such a weak team, and shouldn't have had that pen either. VAR joke as usual. #qatVsui #worldCup2026

@Rovers Be some trick to pull another Dack out of the hat. That boy was magic.

[Callum McKeefery @rovercal]

That is a joke of a red card. Not even a foul. #mexVrsa #worldCup2026

[Callum McKeefery @rovercal]

@SkySportsNews I'm shocked that anyone would think this is a harsh punishment. They knowingly broke rules in preparation for the knockout game that put them in the final. It's the ONLY appropriate punishment.

@SouthamptonFC TL;DR
We knew we were being cunts, but we thought we'd get away with it. It's not fair.

[Callum McKeefery @rovercal]

@j_marsh98 @garysmith2301 That's one of two things I'll always remember him for. The other is dinking it in to the PNE keepers hands when one on one last minute before they went up the other end and scored.
Overall, I think he was a good player. Frustrating that there wasn't more moments like this.

@trboxing It's amazing how good Pac-Man is that he manages to make that one punch look like it's actually dozens. Wizard.

@AbuZeenah_ Michael Owen. World class at his first two clubs. Newcastle fans tell a different tale.
