Probably the coldest football match I’ve ever been to. @wdcfc.bsky.social

Completely unoriginal and will have been answered beforehand: but to what extent has VAR been detrimental to the referee’s ability to referee without VAR?

3 min sky sports highlights didn’t include a single one of the disallowed goals

People in the press keep referring to United making a mistake in appointing Ole permanently. Got us to second and played the most entertaining football post-Ferguson. I hope Carrick does well and gets the job permanently if he earns it. #mufc

Me this morning: Carrick is a sensible short-term option to bring some much-needed stability to the end of the season. Offering him the job permanently would be a clear step too far.

Also the point he makes about the flaws in fan ownership being exposed by Barca and Real in the last few years.

I deactivated my account this morning. I’ve not used it in years and made a new account about a year ago just to follow football accounts, because there is still a lot not on here. It’s just not worth it. All the hate still finds a way though.

Not helping himself at all through his absolutely refusal to do anything different. Cut a lot of slack last year but support will quickly evaporate

For our summer holiday this year, we did a road trip around Ireland. Unfortunately didn’t see any puffins but had the best time.

Stopped watching the Fulham v United match after 15 mins. Assume the Amorim revolution continued apace?

My first form finished school today. I have been with them for 4 years and they’ve absolutely smashed school. I’m so proud of what they’ve achieved and I’m excited for what they will do next.

It’s a Saturday night in the final term, in the final straight of GCSE exams and I’m sat writing good luck cards to my incredible year 11 students. I don’t know who will be the bigger wreck on Thursday; me or them. #teaching

Excellent Settler documentary from Louis Theroux. All he did was let the genocidal freaks speak for themselves and show the world who they are

Hi @theniceman.bsky.social 👋 I have just watched the talk you gave to ALL about developing spontaneity. I wondered if it would at all be possible to see a copy of your Module 0 resources as I would love to make a Spanish version for my school! Thanks and no worries if not!

Brainwashed by my dad. Granddad came from Ireland through Liverpool and supported them. Dad supported United to wind him up and bought me shirts as a kid: first one had Andy Cole on the back. Helped that we won everything under the sun!

Up in deepest darkest Burnley for Colne vs West Didsbury in the NWCL. Not the best game and not the best burger

Is it even a non-league football match until someone has shouted “boys we’re quiet aren’t we?”
