Disgusting bias by #skysports allowing Wrexham owners to do their own commentary on one of their channels. The fawning of our media towards Wrexham is beyond pathetic.

Tweet by Thomas van Linge saying it is striking that historians may one day view the Iran war as less thought-out than the Iraq war.

That's what happens when you use a foreign war as a distraction from your problems back home.

British man charged in Dubai for alleged filming of Iranian missiles Foreign Office officials are understood to be supporting his family.

The government of #Dubai dont want anyone to openly film how dangerous it is in #Dubai. This repressive dictatorship hates even basic freedoms. Wouldn’t it be terrible if this were shared widely. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Destroys” - Really? I think not.

I’m sick to death of #canarycall being all about having the same idiots calling in every week. These “know nothing” pundits like “Tulsa”, who gets on every week just speak in cliches and are boring. #ncfc

Faffed around on the edge of the Leeds box - nobody wanting to shoot - then give the ball away cheaply to concede. Why are #ncfc players so terrified to shoot?

#Discovery+ is really third rate. Poor commentary, ill informed co commentator, biased one sided “half time panel” with no balance for both sides, and they choose “player of the match” after 75 minutes! So poor and third rate. #FACup #ncfc

This commentators obsession with saying “VAR are looking at it” is ridiculous. VAR look at everything in the box. He doesn’t need to announce everything. #ncfc #facup

They never complained about child sex images being used, they never said anything about nazi ideology being promoted. They're happy to take money from their content on there, but this is where they're drawing the line 👀🤔. Only when they're the victim is it a problem? Right, got it...

That’s terrible from the ref. Ahmed wins the 50:50 header and gets a yellow card. That makes no sense. #ncfc #FACup

Who is this idiot co-commentating on the #ncfc game? Claiming Norwich’s stable team was “probably enforced” due to injuries? Everyone on the bench bar one has started for Norwich at some point this season. Perhaps #Discovery+ ought to have had someone with Norwich links as part of lineup?

Sorry #Paralympics #WinterParalympics- Include #Russia and I don’t watch it. You want to build interest in your event, don’t include countries that mame, injure and kill Ukrainian athletes.

I see #Treinen continues to lack control. He’s a liability. #Dodgers

He’s a liability. As we quickly summarise in here in Britain “Get rid!”

But does the BBC really be similar coverage to non newspaper websites that have a large online audience?

Nobody buys newspapers. Yet the BBC platform journalists from newspapers barely selling 50,000 copies as if they are relevant.

#VAR used in #FACup as a tool to help Premier League teams. That decision to not red card the Sunderland goalkeeper is really clear. He attempted a “studs up” challenge - only just missing the player with serious intent, yet it was only checked for DOGSO, NOT for the studs up.

I’ve no idea what you’re on about. England’s Lionesses won 2-0 . We did lose at baseball to Mexico, but Mexico were favourites.

Me : Is there football on?
Son: Yes - Chelsea
Me: I hope they lose.
Son: They’re playing Wrexham
Me: Oh - I hope Chelsea win!

I can’t stand the media narrative around Wrexham. “A story about a team getting from non-league to the Championship.”
No reference to the millions they’ve spent #cfc #FACup

The BBC commentator eulogising about a “youth team player stepping up to the first team” ignoring that Liverpool did not develop him - they took him off Chelsea. Hardly a story of a lad working his way through from being a school kid in Liverpool through to first team. Usual BBC bias. #cfc #FACup

The idea reported, that America has the majority of its forces there is absolutely wrong.

There are no US planes at Akrotiri. If you believe Iran you’ll believe they didn’t murder 30,000 protesters since January. I’m no apologist for America, but I’m aware both sides tell lies.
