@SkyFootball No Kane isn't either

Do you agree with Gary Neville? 💭

@POCX100 As a Scot I find that very sad but unfortunately it's true

The flagshaggers have sullied our national flag. When I see a George Cross I think, there lives a racist fuckwit, not a genuine football fan or a proud Englishman, I just see a racist. It’s very sad but we all feel it and now we won’t fly our flags. #WorldCup

@ScotNational Nicola Sturgeon got pelters for not attending

NEW: John Swinney has hit back at political opponents suggesting he has headed out to Boston on a 'World Cup jolly' #Echobox=1781265518-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26188758.…

@Willq72v @Coach_Swales @rawespresso So instead of saying pay more NI /tax to get a better state pension the answer is scrap it? Seems like a great deal for the private pension sector. Who'd have thought that eh?

@FireflyBiilym @Coach_Swales @rawespresso The issue isn’t that the government wants to take it away, the issue is that it’s a genuine Ponzi scheme and is economically unsustainable with a declining birth rate.

The median UK adult aged 55 has roughly £62,000 saved in their pension. Many have nothing. To retire on the PLSA's 'moderate' single-person standard — £31,300 a year — you need a pot of around £500,000-£600,000 on top of the state pension. The median 55-year-old in this country is roughly 90% short. Ten years from state pension age, on £62K, with the cost of food, energy and rent still climbing, the maths quietly stops working. The state pension at £230 a week will close part of the gap and leave the rest wide open. This is the cliff most working UK adults are walking towards while telling themselves there's still time.

@Malcolm_Offord How do we get immigrants to work in our hospitals if they have nowhere to stay? Your layabout electorate won't do the shit jobs, will they?

Immigration may be reserved to Westminster, but social housing is devolved. I asked John Swinney directly if he would stop the loopholes resulting in new arrivals being put ahead of locals. This was his response:

@DazzaDavies @ITVSport WORST world cup TV show ever and I've seen them all since '70. From a useless backdrop of a financial district? Sally McCoist waffling about politics, some American woman talking to us like kids, terrible picture quality and the biased English panel from hell

What are ITV thinking with having a referee on who’s explaining things like none us have ever watched a game of football before. What a stupid addition.

@Coach_Swales @rawespresso Only if you let them take it away. Old people fought for all the conditions they have today when they were young. Today's young just shrug their shoulders and say oh well back to my iphone

@rawespresso I'm not convinced there will be a state pension when I retire, by then the retirement age it seems will be 100

@rawespresso A couple does not need £60k + to live moderately in retirement. £5k+ a month to do what exactly?

@brenoaviIa When we get to Portugal Spain and Morocco it will be 12 years since we had a real world cup

Nenhum morador de KANSAS CITY chutou uma bola de futebol na vida. E o estádio dessa cidade vai receber mais jogos da Copa do Mundo que o Estádio Azteca. Morreu o esporte.

@SophyRidgeSky This is up there with George Foulkes saying Scotland was at risk from alien invasion if it was independent

Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley very strong on scenes in Belfast: "I was watching a bit of the news last night, and I can't remember what channel it was, but a journalist was talking about 'these protesters.' "I thought, that isn't a protest. People are setting fire to cars. That's not a protest. That's violent disorder, that's criminality. I really feel for Northern Ireland colleagues who are wrestling with that. It's really, really difficult. "We live in these volatile times and, some of what goes on online whips up, sentiment on the street. "We know that Russian state actors, Iranian state actors, they want to sow discord on the streets of the UK. So this is a really complex issue we're wrestling with. So you've got very polarised debates in the UK, and you've got other people overseas who want to drive wedge issues to create disorder, and you've got the great men and women of Police Service Northern Ireland on the streets in the middle of that, trying to sort of protect people and stop people burning down houses and things. It's awful."

@mindys4Biden At least England have someone that's more hated than them

today at the FIFA WC Fan fest in Mexico City they held the opening ceremony. They brought in giant flags from each country. The crowd was cheering for every flag...except ours. When they showed the American flag on the jumbotron the whole multinational crowd booed. Loudly.

@Ornsack @lily_scott Yes so no 4K direct viewing, just the usual rip off Britain tbh

@FireflyBiilym @lily_scott Games on BBC will be 4K on iPlayer (It's the downside of a commercial broadcaster cheaping out that's the problem sadly! We'll only have 4K for half of the games)

Is it me, or is the ITV picture quality absolutely atrocious? I’m watching the #MEXRSA #FIFAWC2026 game on ITV1 HD but it’s really blurry.

@DaleJohnsonBBC Sticking your arse into a player trying to get past you isn't a foul?

The two on-field reds were correct. But the VAR red was soft and unnecessary. For the third red card, the South African player's next touch is to take control inside the area with no covering defender. It's one touch and shot. The VAR will not intervene on this. #MEXRSA

@The_Forty_Four The second red was a foul to RSA

HOW HAS THE REFEREE GIVEN A STRAIGHT RED CARD FOR THAT?!😍😡 WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON🤯🤯🤯

@paddypower Zaire

Who is the worst team to ever play in the World Cup?

@alfie_t8 They're both useless if you're Scottish tbh ☔☔☔☔

It’s a disgrace to the sport that this piece of shit is hosting the World Cup final over the Azteca

When Scotland play Brazil it will become the joint 2nd most played match between 2 countries at WC finals. Astonishing considering how few matches Scotland have played

@sportbible @Betfair This clown also said he couldn't be sure if the banned Somalian ref wasn't involved in terrorism

Brad Friedel DID NOT hold back when talking about England fans The American says England fans are as entitled as Arsenal fans, they act like they’re owed the trophy… Do you agree? Everyone's got an opinion, back yours at @betfair Click below to bet 18+ GambleAware .AD

@gcooney93 You're fcking lucky we've got English twats going on about England 1966 on Scottish TV

RTE taking a full ad break during water breaks - not even a split screen business - is awful!
