On a warm, giddy evening for Newport as a city, @dredbridges.toot.wales.ap.brid.gy tried to capture the mood after County's friendly defeat to AS Roma. Despite the result, a lot of goodwill was in the air, with both the club and the city emerging with reputations enhanced... #ncafc 🧡🖤

Football is silly sometimes. Here’s a Roma team full of internationals, including a World Cup winner, before and after a game against a team who survived relegation to non-league football on the last game of the season. A very fun evening and we will lose 4-1 to far worse teams this year

Things I didn’t expect to see in the year of our lord 2026: Bella Ciao being played over the PA system as Newport County come off the pitch after playing AS Roma. Go home football, you’re drunk. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Tell you what I miss from #Cardiff #Caerdydd: Hyper-Value. Bought this massive throw for £3.99 about 25yrs ago and it’s still going strong. Now THAT’S hyper value!

Nice afternoon #groundhopping as Bridges Jr got to be a mascot at Cardiff Met vs Holywell Town in the #CymruPrem. Plus he got to reacquaint himself with former Newport legend James Clarke who scored for the hosts before coming off injured. A nice first visit to the ground!

Good to see at least one UK news outlet willing to challenge #militarism and the insanity of spending £31bn on nukes at a time when our public services and infrastructure are on their arse. https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/invest-people-not-war-burnham-told #UKpolitics #UKpol #pacifism […]

Now that Hollywood has 'done' the Odyssey, let's see them taken on an even more bonkers set of mythical legends and adapt the Mabinogion. Good luck explaining THAT stuff to a sceptical public with limited attention span... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabinogion #Cymru #Wales

Whenever you overhear someone in a pub or a coffee shop publicly moaning about bike lanes, they ALWAYS come across as a cantankerous old bellend, don’t they.

I was vaguely aware that the #CommonwealthGames is happening, and have happily just stumbled across some highlights on S4C. But seemingly most of the live coverage is behind a paywall on something called TNT Sports. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Which bright spark came up with that then?

Ooh, does this signal the end of our old friend, the #TacticalTumble?!? If the goalkeeper goes down 'injured', a nominated team-mate will have to leave the field for one minute when play resumes. Thoughts, Exiles? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/... #ncafc 🧡🖤

English football agrees trial to end goalkeeper tactical timeout

English football is set to implement a radical trial to try to eradicate the goalkeeper tactical timeout this season, BBC Sport can reveal.

Important to object to and correct every single use of "remigration." The word is a euphemism designed to make respectable its users' project, which is ethnic cleansing.

The landing page of the Guardian website every day be all like #UKpolitics #UKpol

Some excellent #ShoutyBlokesWithGuitars action last night at the basement of the Bristol Exchange (first time there for me). Headliners #Goo were very good, and their debut album sounded as good live as it did recorded. Support from #Toodles and the very talented […] [Original post on toot.wales]

A wholesome start to the day at Parc Tredelerch, feeding the swans and cygnets, and admiring a splendid heron. #Caerdydd #Cardiff

We’re excited to be partnering with @ulsteruni.bsky.social & @arinsproject.bsky.social for an event exploring how the next Stormont Executive can deliver positive public service transformation without damaging its political & public mandate. 📅23 Oct📍Ulster Uni.

Rebooting the public sector:

How can the next Stormont Executive deliver positive public service transformation without damaging its political and public mandate?

Had a “disagree agreeably” discussion with someone yesterday about AI. Whilst I understand that many/most people are warmer towards it than I am, I struggle with his argument that “it’s here, it’s everywhere, so we should accept it in all areas of our lives, including creative and artistic […]

A piece by me about how devolution, as well as being Burnham's USP, might also hold the seeds to his undoing in three of the four UK nations. https://www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2026/07/21/the-supreme-contradiction-at-the-heart-of-burnhams-devolutionism/ #UKpolitics #UKpol #Burnham […]

Another day in paradise. #camping

“Go and get Coldplay back on…” #WorldCup #ExtraTime

30 minutes is too long. What are the fans in the ground supposed to do - drink TWO polystyrene cups of Bovril‽ #WorldCup

When do they read out the half time lottery numbers?

Shakira Cristiano Ronaldo 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 Clearly past their best but somehow managing to be inexplicably present at the #WorldCup.

Watching Tom Cruise doing his “inspirational” speech before the #WorldCup final, we did all say that if it was happening at Wembley, he’d have 90,000 people shouting “WANKER, WANKER, WANKER” at him.

Anothrr wholesome day of our camping trip, visiting a llama cafe, and now sitting in the woods doing trivia quizzes. Off to the pub later for the World Cup final.

A lovely day of non-league #groundhopping with friends at #Clevedon Town, followed by a glorious night of cricket, camping, and listening to England croaking in the football… 👀

Absolutely stunning evening for watching outdoor live comedy on a rooftop, featuring @garethgwynn.bsky.social‘s preview of his forthcoming #EdinburghFestival show. Catch him up there if you can, it was great! #Cardiff #Caerdydd

No doubt some GBNews type will come knocking soon demanding to know details of my donation to the campaign… 🛒 https://www.binfaceshop.co.uk @CountBinface #VoteBinface #UKpolitics #UKpol

Friday afternoon and I’ve achieved #ZeroInbox. #winning

Listen, we all know it’s unlikely to happen, but it clearly would be the FUNNIEST THING EVER if Count Binface were to do the impossible and beat Nigel Farright in #Clacton. @CountBinface has an online shop, some of the t-shirts are great, and it can help cover some campaign costs. Treat […]

A long day. Trip to London on a crowded and hot coach, a sweaty walk across town, a full-on meeting, another sweaty walk, trip home to Caerdydd on a crowded and hot train… But this guy has made it all better. Cats rock. #CatsOfMastodon #CathodOFastodon #Ronnie
