I just can't believe my own football club would employ someone who does this.

A salute to #BlackHistoryMonth with the life story of one of soccer's most influential players and football administrators. More importantly, a brilliant man. @batsonbook.bsky.social

@tinsoldier1.bsky.social Suspect you're going to hate this list... (the No1 on the day each PL club last won a major trophy)

The Telegraph plundering the very depths of journalism. Feel for all the good sports writers who have to share an employer with this scumbag

Interesting evening over on X Firstly, the notion I'm older than he/she thinks I am. Then there's the obvious Brexit stuff & lefty slur. I take ownership of both. And then i zoom onto their profile... where to begin? He or she literally live in my mum's hometown! ( @dotlepkowska.bsky.social )

An awful day for football, during a pretty grim year. Tried to capture the emotion of the day in THE SLUM SPORT. The chapter (No3) is titled The Finest. Features exclusive insight from those who were there: including Scotland international Graeme Sharp, & ITV Sport duo Jim Rosenthal & Martin Tyler

A big fan of the 'scan for AI text' feature on Substack. Original writing and prose is a craft that should be protected. Anything with traces of AI will immediately go into the bin.

Thankfully, there is absolutely no precedent for Brom footballers who do well in pre-season and stink the place out beyond....

RIP Kevin Keegan. A brilliant player & manager. So successful in Germany that it prompted a steady stream of other British players to try their luck overseas. A hero to the fans of every club he played for, and many more besides. Legend

Extraordinary. Clearly there are many layers to the nuanced debate, but this has the feel of the FA's blueprint being challenged. Tuchel was meant to better Southgate; raise the bar from silver to gold standard. Now isn't the time for the manager to go for the throat, surely?

While there remains a demand for post-match interviews - usually obligatory as part of rights' deals - then occasional awkwardness is likely. Clarke being 'old school' irrelevant; any reporter worth his/her salt should do same. Outcome of both interviews: engaging & insightful

My day job involves introducing sports journalism to an inclusive & diverse cohort. Everyone is equal, everyone is given a fair opportunity to shine. My students have gone onto work for local, national media, and for governing bodies and sport clubs. And then you have a*eholes like this...
