The hounding of Jason Arday by the media and the witch hunt they enabled through socials was disgraceful. They have blood on their hands.
The front cover of a book released this week by a well-known contributor to Northern Ireland's outrage economy is basically this gif.

Sufferin' Kneecap with their one trick again. The cringiest band to come from this island - and that's a high bar.
This is a very good point. Fifa needs football but football doesn't need Fifa. Fifa has no intrinsic value. There is no special reason it should be maintained and reformed. We could close it tomorrow and organise the World Cup and other tournaments anew and not one thing would be lost.
Mash@itismashagain.bsky.social · 3w agoMy entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.
They're entitled to do so and it makes a lot of my friends and family very happy - but the public prayer huddles by footballers after every World Cup game come across a bit performative.
Great game that also demonstrates why both teams are not in the final.
Kane could probably squeeze in a wee 9 rounder at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday now. Might need to book it himself now though.
That was one of those calls that was def a pen, while also making a mockery of the rules.
This is what happens when Norway go back to the dressing room. They relax into their natural state as pencil sketch animations
Another life lost this year by falling from a bonfire. I watched a young lad fall from a bonfire in Newtownards a few years ago. Just madness. Culture and safety are not mutually exclusive..
The world's most miserable, insecure, scared and lonely old man is never not at it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Trump: “I just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I do it every 6 months, and I requested another Cognitive Test, the only President to do so, three times, and I aced them all — Got every question right. Few people in DC could do so, including Maggot and her flunky associate, Jonathan Swan”
Has Aaron Ramsey come out of retirement to play in multiple football tournaments somewhere? Heck of a few days.

"So when the president invites you somewhere.." -maybe say nah you're alright?
ABC News Australia@news.abc.net.au · last mo.World Cup: England captain Harry Kane confirms 'surreal' golf date with US President Donald Trump
What was that stop-start nonsense with the pen? Ah all-Argentinian officials..makes sense.
Belgium technically are streets ahead of the US. Just hope they've got the legs to finish the job.
Maybe it's the time of year but at first glance that always looks like a bonfire in the BBC backdrop.
