SL clubs look to reinstate Nigel Wood.

The clubs wanted a magic bullet. There are no magic bullets. -
I hadn’t really twigged The Prodigy are still going without Keith Flint. My god, what a start …

The plans to do this require money. We had a 12 year agreement with one of the world’s leading sports media and income generating companies to generate the kind of money to enable that to happen. We’re tearing it up because it required some work and wasn’t a magic bullet. -
I have no idea who Black Uhuru are. They aren’t really my thing and the crowd isn’t really with them - and yet it’s all quite enjoyable and I am too lazy to change the channel.

Lionesses up 3-0 over Jamaica, PSG up 4-0 over Inter Miami, the weather up 7-0 over US ability to host major football tournaments in the summer.

It really doesn’t help that the rulebook is filled with bits that could be enforced but aren’t. We are quite lax when it comes to making sure it is accurate and up to date. The bigger issues, for me, are (a) blaming players who have been fouled for drawing that to the ref’s attention rather than wondering how the ref didn’t punish the foul play or why there is still too much foul play and, (b) people in influential positions who don’t know the rules but pontificate like they did and/or do know the rules but don’t like them and so mock them or downplay the rule breaking. Overall, the refs have an impossible jobs in many ways. I’m not convinced that many are brilliant but I’ve not seen a truly shocking performance for quite a while.

What’s the evidence either way?

Such a fun game to watch. Both teams did enough to win. If I was a neutral, that’s what I want.

GET IN

*whibbling noises intensify*

Not sure we’re dominating but I’m liking how confident we are both with and without the ball. Long way to go.

It’s an odd world. At the lower end, there is no way costs are being covered. At the upper end, bang average gigs are £100+. And statement gigs are often higher. Country park opera houses being cheaper than rock gigs at Wembley is weird.

Up to £344 + fees for tonight.

Common People remains magnificent

Did anyone pick Shamrock Rovers in our LoI love-in? Looking very much like their title. Meanwhile, two places but a lot of points behind, Bohs picked up their (our) first draw of the season in their (our) 22nd match - 12-0-9 became 12-1-9.

The ones I know who go treat it like a holiday so that's what they're comparing it against when it comes to price.

Salford financial issues(again…)

I don't want to make it personal but I do think that he, himself, is a problem at this time. Yes, your other points are true as well, but there is then an *additional* Nigel Wood problem. -
Very obvious and visible NZ Warriors flag in front of the stage

Anyway … EN VOGUE

Well, that makes sense because tragic oldies with a nostalgia fetish keep voting for politicians who want to sell off council stock but not replace it. How many council houses do you think Farage has slept in?

He appointed Sally Bolton and let me re-litigate a debate from 2015 because that’s relevant to this. -

We should get some decent sponsorship for the Ashes. The trick, very rarely pulled off by rugby league, will be keeping them on board beyond one event or series. -

He is certainly indulged, coddled and lovingly stroked by the RL media. -

Social media comments do tend to be quite toxic though. I think these will just be ignored.
