Absolutely devastated. Sycamore gap was one of my favourite places and an iconic view. Questions need to be asked!
I will always have this image though

The iconic Sycamore Gap tree on Hadrian's Wall Path in Northumberland has been felled overnight.
We're waiting more information on this.

#bbclaurak: What was more important to you as a party... making that political argument or respecting the wishes of a grieving family?
Zia Yusuf(Reform): "Respecting the family's wishes, which is what we've done."
If Keir Starmer, Ed Davey or Zack Polanski or even Badenoch took a £5million bung or used the language Farage has twice..
They would be GONE. The media alone would have hounded them out of their job within a week.
There's your two tiers alright.
And it is the media.
Zack Polanski criticised the police for being heavy handed with a RT and he got a formal rebuke from the police and got grilled by the media.
Farage incites riots and condemns the police causing them of murder and nothing.
Two tier media more like.
🚨🎙️Wayne Rooney: “Arsenal have been robbed tonight” 🤯
Rooney 🗣️ “I’ll be completely honest, Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there is no other way to put it. You look at that foul on Noni Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% clear penalty. How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final.
But for me, the moment that truly gave it away the moment you knew exactly what the referee was doing was that halftime whistle. To blow the whistle right as Arsenal are literally standing there about to take a corner? I’ve played this game a long time, and you rarely see that unless there’s a blatant bias. It was shocking, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
In the second half, it became a totally different game, and not because of the football. The referee made absolutely sure that every single 50/50 call, every little nudge, and every major decision went straight to PSG. It completely killed Arsenal’s momentum. But to be fair, I’m not even surprised. We saw the exact same story when they played Bayern Munich earlier in the tournament. The officiating was heavily skewed then, and it’s happened again on the biggest stage.
PSG might be lifting the trophy, but they cannot honestly look at themselves in the mirror and be proud of the way they’ve won this final. To win the biggest prize in club football like that? It leaves a horrible taste. Arsenal deserved so much more tonight.”
Law 5.3: If two fouls happen at once, the ref punishes the more serious one. Holding Raya’s arms in the 6 yard box is a massive tactical foul.
Law 10.1: A goal only counts if the scoring team committed NO offences immediately before the ball went in. If the attackers are holding the keeper, the goal is dead.
Law 12: Restricting a Goalkeepers movement at a corner is a direct free kick for the defense.
Verdict: If the attackers hold the keeper, the goal is disallowed regardless of what the defenders are doing elsewhere.
Hope this helps
