It is a scathing indictment of the referee, the linesman, ProRef, and English football as a whole that there was nothing given for this horror challenge.

The only result I care about from tonight’s game is that Dowman’s ankle wasn’t broken by that horror tackle

If that challenge on Max had been directed at the drone, the game could have started on time

a 16yo had his seasoned threatened by a horror challenge and he slightly moves towards the opposition player and is immediately sent off. English refs couldn't care less about player safety

That’s disgraceful officiating and disgraceful play from Fleetwood. Easy red on the tackle that Dowman responded to. And something that wasn’t a red for Palmer this past weekend.

Classic weak officiating from ProRef - your man orders the teams off the field after failing to shoot down a drone, then talks to the captains and sends the players back out. Complete lack of control...smh...

“losing brand deals for dissing Mao” is darkly funny in several different ways

Ever heard someone say "protest doesn't change anything"? Brazil and Serbia just proved them wrong. 🇧🇷🇷🇸

I'd be much more interested in evaluating the health impacts of center-right trolls getting paid to write things like: "Foreign factories should be more dangerous than American factories,” following a factory fire in Bangladesh that killed 1,100 people.

One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.

Once again I am begging Richarlison to stick to politics

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

We aren’t there yet but if we end up with no challenger to Infantino at FIFA and if City find a way to skate on little to no punishment, it will be hard to conclude anything other than both international & club football is fundamentally broken.

@edzitron.com's AI pessimism really knows no bounds: "Corporate America has been very uneven in its ability to extract value from its AI models." *re-reads headline* oh.

Chelsea in discussions with Strasbourg over Barco & Emegha transfers

"This Premier League is built on teams being organised & hard to break down. Teams are happy not to have the ball and eager to have the space to attack on the break. Possession is not king in English football right now & the game is not about controlling the ball, but about controlling the spaces"

I wrote about the case for incivility newrepublic.com/post/216692/...

That was more stressful than I wanted it to be but a win is a win. First place after 7 games - I’ll take it.

“The only option, therefore, is to punish City to the fullest extent. The rules have to mean something. If we are to save English football from the brink and bring things under a degree of financial stability, City need to be dealt with. It has to happen.“ @graceonfootball.com

It feels like it's 2006: a grassroots Dem pol sends an email and then the New York Times covers the story the email was about

Old enough that this almost makes me want to cry.

Aaron Swartz was hounded by federal law enforcement into taking his own life for behavior that was nowhere near as bad as what these companies do every single day.

I'm not watching but I can only assume from the score that the noise around the 114 guilty verdicts is getting to the Sham City players

She done lost her damn mind.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn’t a selfie

— Enzo offside for winner, unanimously ruled error by KMI — Bruno G denied pen (+ Maatsen second yellow), unanimously ruled error by KMI — Phantom pen against Konsa, unanimously ruled error by KMI — Gravenberch sent off for two soft yellows, 0:0 becomes 3:0 It's a lot so early in the season.

there has never been a Liverpool match in their history where more human beings are rooting for them to win than today versus Sham City

He’s so small but so good

This is the vice president's guy, no? This should be every headline, it should lead every newscast and EVERY REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE ASKED ABOUT IT.

If City get relegated/expelled then we won't have to talk about the "Big 6" any longer...but it's probably also the time to point out that Spurs don't belong in that big club classification on merit, either...Back to the Big 4 then?

To @arsenalvisionpodcast.com - a clear benefit of a forced sale of Sham City would be getting new ownership to do real investigations & report other cheating à la Chelsea post Abramovich. Have the expectation of sunlight be a condition of a purchase
