Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 22hReal-life figures like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce were nobles. They would have worn standard medieval European chainmail, quilted armor, and tunics. They dressed exactly like the English knights they were fighting against. 92576
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Joke party with joke policies. How are people to know, sufficiently in advance when booking holidays that it won't coincide with an election? We repealed the Fixed Term Parliament Act. 0100

Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 13/08/2026The new #ScotRail app is truly awful. I had to log in and out several times to get my tickets to reappear so I could get home. It also doesn't give you the cheapest fare for a connection. Had to book individual tickets 030
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 11/08/2026It's business rates dodging that's the issue. Current enforcement options don't cut it and it's always left to local authorities to foot the bill. 000

But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant.

Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Is there not some requirement that the broadcasters have to show him, but the stadiums aren't allowed to 100
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Thought for a minute you meant Roger Daltry was getting cancelled or something. 000
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Agreed. It's also one thing most fans would be happy for regular VAR interventions on, as it might stamp it out. Same with the wrestling at corners - they should just give 5 or 6 pens in a high profile game and see if that puts a stop to it. 010
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Yes. Embolo got a second yellow for Switzerland. There was another one earlier in the tournament as well. 100
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Lee Dixon is an awful commentator. At least Coisty sounds like he's happy about the fact he's being paid to watch football and is enjoying being there. Dixon talks pish and just sounds miserable. 000
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Matterface and Dixon have been awful this whole tournament. McCoist is there for the banter, and at least seems pleased to be there. 020
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 14/07/2026That's exactly their job. If Trump says it's raining, it's not their job to report it. It's their job to look out the window and report if he's telling the truth. 100
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Perhaps, but in that case they should report it in that context i.e. as the ravings of a delusional mind and not as gospel. They need to exercise some judgement. 100
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Of course he's backtracking on this nonsense. The press are the only one's still surprised. At some point the press are going to work out how to cover this guy's bluster and not treat every brainfart as breaking news. 4283
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 13/07/2026See also Glasgow City. For those who detest the Old Firm and/or don't want a team affiliated with men's football. 040
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Apparently they're in "a heat-sapping environment", whatever the fuck that is. Sam Matterface having a day. Lee Dixon just so miserable about the fact he's being paid to watch and talk about football 040

Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I absolutely want skill, grit, and determination to triumph, but sporting integrity has to matter too. 100
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 06/07/2026"Appeals process". Justify it however you want. But at the request of your President, FIFA, at best, bent the rules. It's not even about hating Trump. If Mark Carney had done the same, we'd be just as outraged, but he would never. 100

Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Finally, the argument that it's Europeans moaning about this is absurd - it's anyone who values sporting integrity and bemoans political interference in sport. 130
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 06/07/2026And that's the nub. Whilst I get the whole hypocrisy if it was my team argument, your President put his thumb on the scales. Not many other world leaders would be so shameless 130
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 06/07/2026FIFA did it for Ronaldo at the start of the tournament and for this reason, amongst many others, most neutrals are supporting Spain over Portugal. 100
Neil Casey @neilkc.bsky.social · 06/07/2026To be clear, the anger is at Trump and Infantino / FIFA. Poch should absolutely play Balogun if he's available, whatever the nonsense behind that. But don't act shocked that most neutrals who otherwise wanted USA to beat a fairly joyless Belgium have now completely switched allegiance. 120
