I was 18 when 9/11 happened. I don't think anyone who was around then will ever forget watching it unfold. You can't comprehend such hate. I hope we never see the likes of it again. Yet it shapes the world we live in today.

Well, thanks to England crushing Pakistan in the cricket, I now have a non refundable room in Leeds city centre this evening for two nights. I'd rather give it away for free than let Whitbread take my money for fuck all. Genuine offer. First come first served.

Crikey, Rockets women just walloped Phoenix! Couple of very good catches. Can the men match that?

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I don't want to pile on The Hundred. It was the first cricket format I saw live and was something of a "gateway drug" for me. But seriously, they need to cut the gimmicks like the fielder interviews while they are playing. Just so awkward.

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Not being funny, asking players questions while the game is actually being played and they are in the field? Really?

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Back to The Hundred then. Not sure about the sparkly numbers of the back of the ML shirts!

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Three minutes? The ball has hardly been in play!? Makes no sense

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Crikey. Big Boy School now, innit

ITV should not be let anywhere near the football, as I've said many times. Was knackered after 90 mins, thought I'd turn off and watch extra time this morning. Went onto itvX and immediately got told the score. Didn't get that from iPlayer last week!

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

So long as they don't demolish The Trafford, I'm happy.

Farage doesn't miss a chance to tell anyone who'll listen that he gave up a career in the city to be an MP, as if the little folk should be grateful or something. Well, I used to work in finance too. The first thing I learned is anti money laundering rules.

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Has to be the best England performance I think I have ever seen. Take a bow, lads 🙌

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

It's been a great T20 World Cup campaign, I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully England can do the business today to finish it off!

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

What an innings by Bethell. Proper class

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Did the stadium announcer just say the half time score was "Panama ZERO, England ZERO"? Thank heavens for the BBC.

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Lord's pitch today looks totally different from the test match the other day. People are playing shots, lots of runs on offer

If I hear one more person tell me that this is normal and its just summer I'll...do nothing because it's too fucking hot

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Would have been the first day of Glastonbury today. Would have been hell in this heat. Was hot enough getting off site last year and it will be hotter today

We thought there was news coming on the stadium, so this below, is from the most recent Red News. Let’s make sure we are asking the right questions. Is this a regeneration project with football at its heart, or a money making exercise for shareholders?

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

The question is, is Burnham a gambling man?

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Got fucking Ode to Joy in my head now.

What an absolute shambles from the ECB this week. Stokes should never have been barred from playing for England. What a daft rule. It cost them dear.

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Oh dear. The BBC have removed Stokes from the opening credits of “Today At The Test”. Super cereal.

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Pfft. T20 World Cup starts tomorrow. That might have a bit more action.

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Interesting that the World Cup graphics on ITV have "fifa.com/tickets" on. Have they not sold all their seats or something?

The new BoC album is immense, and improves with every listen. A worthy addition to the canon!

000

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Not being funny, some of the "broadcast partners" for football this season have been shambolic. The FA cup was decimated. And now, no Europa or CL final available without subscriptions?

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

I don't know why Second Coming gets such a bad rap. It's a cracking album!

Got to hand it to Burnham. Sky high stakes, sky high reward.

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

I think Starmer is a decent man. I also think he has been dealt a hard hand. But surely he must see that he no longer has the confidence of his party and the country at large. He must put the country first and resign.

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Apparently SAF taken to hospital before the Liverpool game. You'd think it would have to be quite something to keep him away from the game today. Hope he's ok.

And it's [insert team name]. [Insert team name] FC...

Sam Wotzisface on talksport can't stand it when united score!

Happy to learn that Harry Maguire has signed on for another year. He's had his ups and downs in red, I think he'd be the first to admit. But he **gives a shit** and that is a very good trait to have. That and a good header in the box.

000

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

I can't get over how utterly perverse all this is. The entire world's economy. Everything. All at the mercy and whim of one madman. How the hell did it come to this?

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Storm Dave. That's a proper storm name, that.

Smashing. Got email from United saying ticket sale for Forest was live at 10am today...but received the email at 4:30pm. Marvellous.

001

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Not buying into all the "too big to go down" bollocks. Spurs are bang in trouble.

000

Richard Gibbons @hawkoftheeye.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

United started better today, particularly after half time. I thought they were half asleep when I last saw em against Palace. Took a goal to wake them up.

Huge three points for United. Just what was needed!
