My days, that was some final #AFLGF , huge effort from both teams and what a finish.

Another Sunday 4.30pm match, another strange VAR decision. This time the Sky chaps seem less convinced by the outcome, funny that.

This won’t get much in the way of wider recognition, because there is some good news here, but I’m going to say that teachers in our country, should take some credit here.

We lost and overall deservedly so, but watching Sky Sports I can now realise why non-big-6 fans despair at their commentary. Mind you, even Neville seemed embarrassed at their 2nd goal which tells you something. #itfc

Liam Delap subbed on for his #nffc debut. Darren Fletcher on TNT: “came through at Manchester City, a season at Chelsea and now at Forest” Guess that season with us didn’t contribute towards the large transfer fee… #itfc

It’s been great to rediscover the rarely-repeated Colin’s Sandwich on U&Gold. The script is superb, Mel Smith is excellent and the radio phone-in scene had me crying with laughter as it did when first broadcast. Great stuff.

Weekend reading is The Tremolo Diaries by Justin Currie @delamitri.bsky.social , it’s a great read so far although one of the dogs seems keen to read it too @newmodernbooks.bsky.social #booksky

Unlike most England exits from major tournaments during my lifetime: fair play to the opposition, the better team won and no controversy / dodgy decisions to partially blame the defeat on. On to the pointless 3rd place match.

Jeff Allum @jeffallum.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Saying this so it doesn’t sound like sour grapes *if* we lose: is it just me, or is there a distinct lack of genuinely memorable moments during the World Cup, and it will be remembered more for the actions of FIFA rather than the football? Now watch as the remaining matches are all superb…

This morning I was on a work call with someone from Australia, who had just read a bedtime story to his 9-year-old daughter. “Ah nice, what did you read to her?” “Some of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy” I applauded loudly #booksky

Reading Where The Music Had To Go by Jim Windolf, another fine @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social title. Both dogs are sadly less interested #booksky

That’s 2 hours of my life I won’t get back. That said, in 4 years time I’ll look back on this tournament fondly as a time when ITV didn’t go to ad breaks during hydration breaks…

Weekend reading is Thirst by John Robins, honestly written with some humour, though is it just my lack of focus which means I struggle with frequent footnotes? Probably me. The dogs are happy for me to read which is nice, having skipped their mad-five-minutes runaround this morning. #booksky

Didn’t realise this! Personally I never bought an #itfc shirt during the Magical Vegas era (still no idea who they were) and in the hopefully-unlikely event we have a similar sponsor in the future, won’t buy that either. (Not arrogant enough to think my £50 makes any difference though!)

A beautiful, peaceful sunny Sunday, even the dogs are relaxed. Really enjoying Ringo A Fab Life by Tom Doyle @newmodernbooks.bsky.social - highly recommended #booksky

The month is August 2025: “How do you think the relegated clubs will get on in the Championship this year?” “one will go straight back up, one will get relegated and one will cheat and get thrown out of the playoffs” Magic of the Championship, there’s never a dull moment or VAR, you can’t beat it!

@scottygb.bsky.social Sir, just to say that I’m very much enjoying the Remember Me? podcasts. Your love for the era - particularly X Factor and Gladiators! - shines through, many thanks and best wishes.

This is great news. Everything that @newmodernbooks.bsky.social have released so far looks an excellent read, and contributes towards me failing my goal of reading more classic fiction 🤦‍♂️ Stay Alive is my bank holiday read…

Founding editor of comic Roy Of The Rovers, Barrie Tomlinson, has gone to the great publishing house in the sky. For those of a certain age, ROTR was brilliant, and in 1985 they sent me a £5 postal order for submitting a prize letter. I felt like a king, a fiver was huge money! RIP Barrie.

Well whatever happens, big wins for both #itfc senior teams tonight. 2 matches left for the women, 3 for the men, and the outcome is in the hands of both.

@girlsontheball.bsky.social commentator for the U19s is great value. As an old guy, I appreciated the reference to David Seaman at the 2002 men’s World Cup.

For those of us old enough to know that there was top-flight football before the Premier League was formed in 1992, I see your Max Dowman and I raise you Jason Dozzell, 16y 57d when he scored for #itfc vs #pusb in 1984.

30 years ago, when watching The Fast Show or Vic & Bob / Shooting Stars, I wasn’t thinking “I bet one of these chaps will write/illustrate a brilliant history of our monarchy”, but here we are! Really enjoyed this @charliehigson.bsky.social #booksky

I wonder if any keen reader ever gets close to thinking “well, I’ve read all the books I want to read”. Personally I am miles away from this point, and the superb stuff regularly offered by the likes of @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social and @newmodernbooks.bsky.social takes me further away!
