Reiner Fuellmich is a steely-eyed missile man

@FansAgainstVAR_ He's clearly caught whatever bug affected Steve McClaren during his time at FC Twente.

[SimonCookDesigner @simoncookdesign]

@FansAgainstVAR_ Sounds like something from my daughter's local Saturday league. Now, if they had offered to bring back the Guinness Soccer 6 I would potentially have been on board!

Good evening @KitCrimes Surely this AC Milan monstrosity (currently being worn away at Newcastle) is a contender for worst of the season.

[SimonCookDesigner @simoncookdesign]

@FansAgainstVAR_ This is likely the reason behind the rise in non-league attendances - https://t.co/cpeMLphwZu (Slough Town & Maidenhead United for us)

Just watched MOTD Top 10 Headers. Gobsmacked that Gary and Alan didn't mention the legendary Sir Les Ferdinand's bullet on his debut for Leicester City - https://t.co/jJOl3StYCH

Les Ferdinand scored on his debut as we returned to the @PremierLeague in 2003 with a 2-2 draw at home to Southampton… 🙌

@chrislittlewoo8 Morning Chris. On a related topic, the growing number of long-term sickness/work absence is something I've been following periodically, and feels like it could be related.

@footballtweet Nothing against the guy in particular, but Michael ("Well done, he's 13") Owen has made some curious career choices. Howard Webb's wingman and Man at C&A being the latest examples.

Just the @sloughtownfc player-manager casually scoring a SENSATIONAL free-kick in the #FACup 🤩

@FansAgainstVAR_ I'm not sure the word "chaotic" or stating that "there's many people talking at the same time" is something that would ever be viewed positively.

[SimonCookDesigner @simoncookdesign]

@FansAgainstVAR_ Evening guys, have you seen this article? "I was allowed to observe and see communication between match officials during a review and it is quite a chaotic situation, not in a negative sense..." https://t.co/b0J4pyXuXf

[SimonCookDesigner @simoncookdesign]

@sloughtownfc Many thanks!

[SimonCookDesigner @simoncookdesign]

@retrofootballnw Terrific thread mate! it brought back some great memories from childhood. I may be misremembering but I'm sure David Speedie played in goal one year? maybe for Coventry City. Apparently this was going until fairly recently in Germany - https://t.co/KF5LKoxct1

[SimonCookDesigner @simoncookdesign]

@justin_hart Good morning Justin. I believe the 'Disinfecting Pod' deserves an honourable mention too. One hopes it was just water vapour!

@ZubyMusic Good morning Zuby. As Howard Marks (philosopher of risk management) said "...being too far ahead of your time is indistinguishable from being wrong".

[Mark Pougatch @markpougatch]

Well played Matty Lench (and your supporters 🤣) 💪

@BretWeinstein Good afternoon Bret. At a lesser level, the exact same happened to the UK-based organisation Medialens (Our aim is to raise awareness of the systemic failure of the corporate media to report the world honestly and accurately.) - they succumbed hook, line, and sinker.

[SimonCookDesigner @simoncookdesign]

@FansAgainstVAR_ One of the best experiences of my football life was Euro 2016 in France (Lyon, St Etienne & Marseille). Maybe 2 countries can work if neighbours - S Korea & Japan, Spain & Portugal, Uruguay & Argentina. The only reason for the 2030 debacle is so 1 country can host 2034.

[SimonCookDesigner @simoncookdesign]

@Shivutd4 @WeAreTheFSA Hi mate. This would be a perfect solution and would I imagine make most proper football fans happy.
Unfortunately, they'd almost certainly agreed to Saudi Arabia hosting 2034 first, hence the reason for this abomination.
