I'm not using this hellish racist, CSAM generating spam site any more, just keeping the name to prevent scammers and spammers using it.
You can find me on @bluesky though!
If only someone in the media would expose Farage's incitement yesterday via performative utterance in the same way that Jonathan Miller humiliated Enoch Powell and his grubby little racism.
I didn't think it was possible to detest Farage any more than I do....but to come out of hiding because of an opportunity to distract by whipping up a race storm, AGAINST the specific wishes of the VICTIM'S FAMILY, takes him to a new low. FUCKING. HORRIBLE. PIECE. OF. SHIT.
@TEnglishSport@GordonNFL Flethcher looked adequate in one game against the 10 men of a team from a country the size of Dundee. Played more international minutes than first team minutes ever. Milne and Miller continue to be ignored for, ahem, reasons. Just another terrible decision by Clarke.
Forty-five minutes against 10-man Curacao and you’re parachuted into the World Cup squad ahead of a guy described as a generational talent who’s now playing Serie A. Must have had a brilliant training week. If Fletcher is this good then why wasn’t he in squads before?
🤬 Pic 1 - ‘Top of the foot’
🤬 Pic 2 - ‘Not seen enough to give a penalty’
🤬 Pic 3 - ‘It definitely hits the arm’
That’s 3 utterly embarrassing decisions and the VAR review show was amateurish, at best.
So what’s the solution?
First up, Iain Maxwell, Chief Exec of the SFA, says nothing. Does nothing. He’s a puppet.
What about Willie Collum?
The former referee has been in charge of our officials for TWO YEARS.
Our referees are getting worse under his watch, in my honest opinion.
What should happen?
COLLUM NEEDS SACKED.

Crystal Palace win their first European competition ever no pitch invasion, just one set of fans who get away with doing it constantly because the SPFL/SFA allow them to do what they want with no punishment.
This soundbite from the CEO of the SFA shows exactly why the officiating standards are where they are, and why they will never improve. It also shows why Collum will remain in situ after a mortifying season of gaffs and the reputation of Scottish football is in the toilet as a result. Not a single Scottish official at the World Cup.
It's defensive and laughably blames the notion that "we live in a country that forensically examines every decision" we have to presume there's zero intention to look at things with a critical eye and even admit that we need vast change and improvement.
I've said it before and this is the proof - the culture of low standards and low accountability starts at the top of the SFA and SPFL and is embedded right down.
Nothing is going to change while these people are in charge. A footballing backwater.
Three key points.
Willie Collum's position is now untenable.
John Beaton's reputation will forever be tarnished despite the fact he made the correct decision initially.
Andrew McKinlay, the Hearts chief executive, has to resign from his role as SFA vice-president.
A red card not given to a Celtic player later confirmed to be the wrong decision by the KMI Panel.
A penalty not given to Hearts later to be confirmed as the wrong decision by the KMI Panel.
A penalty given to Celtic later confirmed as the wrong decision by the KMI Panel.
Any one of these decisions being gave correctly and Hearts are champions for the first time in 40 years.
But a couple of apologies and everybody has to pretend it’s ok??
Country’s a laughing stock.
