Fan of all sports, interested in events industry, hiking and the outdoors. All fascinating views are my own, all the bad ones are someone else's.

@CurlewAccounts @markbritball @BBLofficial Aggregate score over two legs is terrible. You have a team winning second game yet losing overall thereby creating an environment where a team can't properly celebrate/same goes to fans. That for sure is a good change of format of 3 games over 2 with aggregate.

Just to be clear I thought this was a work meeting, but I guess I can see how it looks

100,000’s staff hours are being slashed up and down the UK, due to cancellations.

A large proportion are on a living wage.

Xmas is looming, and many now have no income.

Your silence is deafening @RishiSunak.

Unforgivable and Unforgettable.

In Germany the new Health Secretary is a medical doctor who's an absolute expert on Covid. In the UK, the Health Secretary is an ex-banker. I think that says more about the UK than Germany.

@fozzy33_ I saw you in the video and did think that it must have been a first one in a while as I didn’t see you ref in ages! You got the last second call up for urgent help? 😂

Season barely started and we already have ton of missed highlights due to the automated Keemotion cameras.

Not sure what's worse: signing with Keemotion in the first place, or continuing to use it for a THIRD season knowing full well it's not fit for purpose.

@c__stephen Working at the reception and seeing all these teams come in is painful, fancy doing another undergrad and staying at uni for 10 seasons like @Owainclark96 ? 😉

@SamNeter Fundraising via mass participation events, purchase entries at face value and have an amount that needs to be raised, simple to set-up, however clubs would need to demonstrate that they carry out community work / have a positive impact.

Maybe Lamelo Ball isn’t all that great after all

Exciting few weeks ahead for events involvement, last weekend I was involved with Stirling Race for Life, this weekend it will be Inverness Race for Life, followed by Break the Cycle the next weekend, and Edinburgh Pretty Muddy followed by Great North Run the week after that!

Mark Adams, IOC spokesman, says Brisbane is “not a done deal” to be named Wednesday to host 2032 Olympics. Nonsense. Brisbane is only candidate. Adams knows it. Hundreds of people in presser on Tuesday know it. Yet he goes unchallenged. Wink and nod. IOC cowers some to silence.

[Stephen Wade @StephenWadeAP]

5. IOC does not fear the Japanese government. It is cornered and paying. It fears deep-pocket sponsors like Toyota. And TV broadcasters. TV rights account for almost 75% of IOC income. Sponsors. 18%. IOC must be worried another TOP sponsor might speak up. Panasonic? Bridgestone?

[Stephen Wade @StephenWadeAP]

4. Fact. These Games are very unpopular in Japan. 50-80% oppose. Toyota knows it. Very savvy. Its with the Japanese public. It pushed back against IOC in a way PM Suga and Abe government would not dare. And notice. IOC did not push back against Toyota. Instead, it praised Toyota.

Words of wisdom - Podcasts are about change; change in the way we communicate ideas and slowly changing the existing narrative, allowing room for a diverse range of VOICES that have not had the power to share before. #podcast #scottishpodcast #blogpost

Welcome to the very very quiet Games.

@RebelCityPaul @RebelCityMatt @deaco2000 When the first lockdown happened in March 2020, I was unemployed for about 2/3 months until I found something, I can definitely say that gaming has kept me occupied and sane for some of that time, maybe wasn't the best use of my time, but kept me managing at difficult times.

@SSF_2000 Genuinely interested in this type of role but don't fit into the criteria, however kudos to the SSF organisation for going out of their way in providing employment opportunities for young people who may have experienced hard upbringings and sometimes don't get that opportunity.

[Stephen Wade @StephenWadeAP]

Olympics start in 2 weeks. Still no final word on fans. Looks like few are none. But sponsors, VIPs, likely to be allowed into venues. Rules change daily. Organizers can’t make decision. IOC barging ahead eyeing billions in TV money. Bach arrives Thursday headed for 5-star hotel.
