An utterly disgraceful attempt at a playing surface. Players can't control the ball, can't run, can't tackle, can't pass. Ludicrous.

@Roebuckio @stevengrant3 Fond memories of Dundee United to be fair. Scored my 1st ever goal v DU for Hibs (Sturrock sacked) and scored winners v United numerous times for Hibs & Dunfermline. Oh and a derby goal at Tannadice. Hate? ๐Ÿคฃ I wish i could have played against Dundee United every week tbh. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

This is not an attack on Dave Meltzer as a person, but rather a critique of the mindset that has formed around him. Dave Meltzer has convinced an entire generation of wrestling fans that wrestling can only be done one way. That a match has to hit a specific number of spots. That it has to fit into a very narrow, specific style. And if it doesnโ€™t fall within that box, itโ€™s not getting anywhere near four or five stars. The biggest problem is that Dave Meltzer doesnโ€™t even follow his own scale anymore. What is the highest rating now? Seven stars? Eight stars? Is there even a ceiling anymore? The entire point of a rating system is that it evolves. A match that might not have been considered great years ago can be viewed very differently today, and the same goes in reverse. Wrestling changes. Audiences change. Context matters. But Dave Meltzer doesnโ€™t adapt. What he views as a โ€œgood matchโ€ is outdated. And the fact that he has never given a five-star match to legends like Kurt Angle is completely inexcusable. Even worse, with the benefit of hindsight, he still hasnโ€™t gone back to reassess matches that may not have landed at the time but absolutely hold up, or even excel, when viewed through a modern lens or within todayโ€™s cultural context. A perfect example: The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18. Yet somehow, weโ€™ve allowed Dave Meltzer to define how wrestling works. Weโ€™ve allowed him to dictate whatโ€™s good and whatโ€™s bad, when the reality is simple: Heโ€™s just one man with one opinion. Greatness is decided by consensus. Itโ€™s democratic. Itโ€™s the collective voice of fans. A match that doesnโ€™t work for one person might be the greatest match of all time to someone else. Wrestling has always been subjective. It was never meant to be filtered through one manโ€™s perspective. What really happened is that many fans gravitated toward Dave Meltzer during a time when they felt alienated by Vince McMahon and WWE. He gave them validation. He helped them maintain their love for wrestling, and he should be credited for that. But many people never grew out of that phase. They never stopped outsourcing their opinions. They confined themselves to their echo chambers, and it's made wrestling overall less fun. Dave Meltzer is not the end-all, be-all authority on what makes a great match. Heโ€™s just a guy with an opinion. And thatโ€™s it.

Lord forgive me.... Dave can tell the difference between a Tiger Driver โ€™91 and a Burning Hammer, two hyper-specific, Japanese finishing moves, but he canโ€™t tell the difference between athletic tape, a compression sleeve, and a knee brace. The purposes and biomechanical benefits of the three arenโ€™t remotely the same. A โ€œgiant knee brace,โ€ like the one Stone Cold Steve Austin wore, is a post-injury stabilization device meant to protect damaged ligaments. Athletic tape, by contrast, enhances proprioception โ€” the bodyโ€™s ability to sense movement and spatial position โ€” which improves balance, control, and precision for athletes who need to plant or pivot at full speed. One is medical equipment. The other is performance maintenance. They donโ€™t even belong in the same conversation. Thatโ€™s really the whole point. Dave doesnโ€™t know what heโ€™s looking at. He can cite attendance figures from 1993 Korakuen Hall, but he once called Patrick Mahomes, the best quarterback in football, โ€œPatrick Mahonezโ€ multiple times on air. The clips exist. So when he claims to have โ€œseenโ€ Rusev in a giant knee brace, what heโ€™s really showing is that he doesnโ€™t have the vocabulary or background to identify what heโ€™s seeing at all (if he isn't making it up). I never played a football game without tape around both ankles. Not because I was hurt, but because the tape sharpened my joint feedback. That microsecond awareness that separates reaction from instinct. Itโ€™s the first thing you learn in athletic training. Regular people do it in the gym. Copper Fit literally markets to them. But thatโ€™s the difference between real athletes and the products you can buy off the rack at CVS. Compression sleeves, the kind that come in a two-pack next to the ibuprofen, are made for general comfort, not high-performance proprioception. They increase circulation and reduce swelling for casual use, but they donโ€™t provide the targeted tension, mechanical feedback, or neuromuscular reinforcement that athletic tape delivers. One is for recovery and light support. The other is for calibrated performance at game speed. Thatโ€™s why the claim is absurd. That isnโ€™t insider knowledge. Itโ€™s ignorance dressed up as expertise. This pattern has defined him for decades. Heโ€™s memorized the data but never understood the substance. Heโ€™s a walking index without an editor, confusing recall for comprehension. His entire identity is built on collecting fragments of a business he never participated in and selling them back to people who did. He speaks with the tone of a researcher but none of the discipline. Heโ€™s a faux intellectual who has spent forty years mistaking immersion for insight. And thatโ€™s where journalistic integrity matters. Real journalism, the kind Deford practiced, starts with humility and precision. Deford, who is Dave's hero, understood that the story is earned through observation, not assumption. He knew athletes as human beings, not data points. If he were alive today, Deford would've long since distanced himself from Dave Meltzer, because he would've recognized what this is: a man mistaking the act of watching for the act of knowing. Deford built trust through accuracy. Dave erodes it through invention. Frank didnโ€™t worship the business he covered. He interpreted it. Dave writes like a mark desperate for proximity to the world he claims to chronicle. His โ€œreportingโ€ isn't analysis, it's an elaborate projection of belonging. So no, there was never a โ€œgiant knee brace.โ€ Maybe there was tape, maybe there was compression, but no brace. And there never will be photographic evidence of one. What there is evidence of, spanning decades, is Dave inventing details to fit his own mythology. Thatโ€™s not investigation. Thatโ€™s fantasy. And when fantasy starts masquerading as fact, it stops being journalism at all. ๐ŸŽค

@nicklopiccolo Yeah, itโ€™s the only thing I could think of that he โ€œsawโ€ that he wouldโ€™ve claimed as a knee brace. Otherwise, I canโ€™t recall seeing Rusev ever in a knee brace.

The Charlie Kirk "No Surrender" banner at Ibrox. A fitting tribute to a defender of the faith and a truth talker. But the backlash from so-called Rangers fans calling it "embarrassing" tells you all you need to know: the fanbase is infested with leftist infiltratorsโ€ฆ

Had a pretty surreal Sunday in a 4x4m space with Michael McIntyre and Gary Lineker. Producers did an unbelievably good job of making us think the match was won by Spurs. First NLD Iโ€™ve missed since gaining consciousness, and Iโ€™ll not be setting up camp in here every Saturdayโ€ฆbut this moment of the scoreline reveal was pretty priceless ๐Ÿ˜‚ Also a reminder this got broadcast only on YouTube, where you can watch it for free, but you can choose not to!

Cheered me up no end to see President Trump telling GB News heโ€™ll be seeking between $1-5billion damages when he issues proceedings next week against the BBC. So the Corporation wonโ€™t have to replace the DG and Head of News as it will have gone bust. Happy days.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Over the past few years, a lot has happened. Professionally, personally and emotionally and it has reached a point where I need to pause and take proper stock of everything. Iโ€™ve decided to step away from social media for the time being. This isnโ€™t a decision Iโ€™ve taken lightly, but the intensity and pace of the online world, combined with my own pressures and mistakes, have had a real impact on my wellbeing and judgement. I need space to reflect honestly on that, to understand how Iโ€™ve handled things, and to improve how I communicate going forward. With the move to a new studio underway, this feels like the right moment to reset, reassess my priorities, and think carefully about how I want to use my profile in the future in a way thatโ€™s constructive, responsible, and true to the values I want to stand for. While Iโ€™m taking this break, my accounts will be maintained solely by the admin team. I wonโ€™t be posting personally until I feel Iโ€™m in the right place to come back. @Common_SensePod Thank you to everyone who has supported me, challenged me, and stuck with me. Iโ€™m taking this time because I want to return better, clearer, and more grounded. See you on the other side. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’จ

Seeing a lot of nonsense being spouted about how the latest BBC scandal is all down to some right-wing political plot. Er no, itโ€™s down to Panorama, the Beebโ€™s flagship news show, stitching up President Trump by editing his Jan 6 speech in a deliberately misleading way. End.
