I’ve imbibed several dozen units of alcohol while watching rugby, cricket, NFL, darts and horse racing (they make football fans look like a temperance society) I have no wish to do the same at The Mem. Pre match, half time and one while the traffic clears after the game will do for me.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Of course he does. Absolute fucking parasite and a hypocrite. The worst of the worse.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe suspends production at key UK plants blaming high gas prices

Ineos said natural gas in the UK is twelve times more expensive than in the US.

My sporting weekend in full: Rovers - shite Celtic - shite Dolphins - utter shite

Absolutely woeful by Celtic so far. Seems that the players can’t raise their game, lacking the effort of Rangers and then some. Something seriously wrong in Paradise I think.

Given that they are now ‘independent’, can we not know round up any resident of Piddington as an illegal migrant as soon as they step outside of the village? What’s sauce for the Goose etc…

For some reason this song came into my head when reading the Ed Sheeran stuff. 40 years old and still as relevant as ever youtube.com/watch?v=8kDv...

I have one question: Why would anyone want to go to an Ed Sheeran gig in the first place?

Watching Bournemouth v Brentford on MOtD, or as I like to call it, the ‘where were you when you were shit’ Derby. Not that I’m jealous at all…

Well that was a load of old shit. Reality check for Rovers today. HMS Piss the League is back in the harbour thankfully.

Ooohhhh Wanky, wanky… Two wins on the spin for Glos, been a long time since we could say that.

Dear angry mobs in coastal towns: if you really want to target the people on boats who are ruining Britain, here is a live tracker of the world's 100 largest superyachts. www.marinevesseltraffic.com/2013/07/mega... Next time one of those purple dots pulls into a dock near you, you know what to do.

Why hasn’t Danny Thomas been nicked on a conspiracy charge yet, or at least inciting racial hatred?

I don’t give a crap whether you are left or right, or what race you ate, what belief system you follow or how you define your sexuality. If you go on a protest looking to conceal your identity or hide who you are then you are a gutless wanker. End of.

Just when you thought Celtic had run out of ways to balls up Champions League qualifying.

On my way to the first Rovers home game, listening to the new Paul Heaton album that came out yesterday. It’s soooo good, and Rianne Downey is such an excellent co singer.

You do know @lbc.co.uk that Ferrari has just platformed Ryan Bridge, unchallenged of course. His organisation has people in custody for a recent murder, another charged with child sex offences . Yet you allowed him to spout his racist crap.

Rangers out of Europe already then…

Settled in for Paul Heaton night about to start on BBC2. Absolute hero of mine in so many ways.

Late decision - just got a ticket in the South Stand for this afternoon. Let’s get this season started. #utg

Well who knew that Harry Redknapp was a bit of a prick?

If I was facing 115 unaddressed charges, I'd shut up about fairness or anything to do with the wider interests of the game

Manchester City leading opposition to Premier League’s £1.5bn EFL proposal

I like Football (soccer) a lot I like the NFL a lot. They are different sports with vastly different histories, morals and rules. One is the truly global game, the other only properly set foot outside the US a couple of decades ago (I was at the first London NFL regular season game)

There has been a care crisis in the UK for at least the last 2 decades. It should have been raised a long time ago.

Anyone else completely unaware until today that the Commonwealth Games begin this evening? I fear that without the BBC coverage it’s going to completely tank. Can’t be arsed with highlights on Channel 5, just not the same.

Gutted about Kevin Keegan. My first football memory is watching the 1974 cup final just before my 7th birthday. Not just my first football hero, but along with Ali my first hero of any kind. RIP King Kev.

Football 1 FIFA 0

This is basically Steaua Bucharest v Barcelona in 1986 European Cup final. One team playing for pens from the start. And winning.

It’s coming third, it’s coming third, football’s coming third.

One of Tottenham’s back 4 last season is going to get a World Cup winners medal. Just let that sink in…

Only two years until we fuck up another Euros then.
