"Your tickets are secure, are you f**king sure" ​Despite Manchester United’s assurances that digital NFC tickets are fully secure, a major flaw in the @SeatGeek ticketing platform leaves supporters highly vulnerable to unauthorised access. By knowing a fan's Supporter ID and just their surname or postcode, anyone can unauthorisedly view, download, and use their tickets without the owners knowledge. This has already resulted in legitimate ticket holders being turned away at both home and away matches because their tickets had already been scanned. ​The issue was deliberately kept quiet during the season to minimise disruption, but with the Premier League aiming for fully digital tickets next season, it must be prioritised over the summer. The risk is exacerbated by a club culture where fans have widely shared their Supporter IDs for ticket-forwarding purposes, and instances where Manchester United emails have inadvertently exposed this information. The author urges @SeatGeek and the club to implement a secure, user-led authorizlsation process rather than relying on flawed off-the-shelf solutions. ​To read more click here: open.substack.com/pub/cheesesofn… Please repost, this is important for all clubs now digital ticket is the future, not just #MUFC

Me and @NormanWhiteside at a United player supporter dinner dance, mid 1980s. Years later we’d share the odd pint! @Craig_Batty remembers these great fan-player events in the new RedNews, scampi in a basket heydays!

Lovely mention of Mike Mullins in this week’s @UWSmag - he taught me in 1997-99 before he moved to Stretford Grammar. Really thoughtful words @AndyMitten ❤️

Afraid Casemiro failed the audition to sell United We Stand today (and he’s otherwise occupied). So we went a little further south to get this lad, who is back at Old Trafford for the first time in 22 years.

@BearsCork C+ (at best). Looks like a massive drop off after round one, but will give it time

@BearsCork My board fell really oddly so had to double up at DT - would probably trade down IRL...

My final Mock Draft and while not getting my draft crushes I would be happy with this (Also Mock Drafts are fun & meaningless & take up way too much of my time ha ha….)

Jon Holmes, Britain's first big sports agent, is retiring after 50 years of looking after Shilton, Lineker, Gower, Atherton and many more. Here's my story-packed interview with him for @ObserverUK observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…

Thank you to @RogersHistory for reaching out and asking me to speak at @TTRadioOfficial Teachers Talk Connect Conference today. I have taken a step back from speaking engagements due to health concerns, but agreed to this one because of what @RogersHistory is aiming to do... /1

@BearsCork Left at least 7 points on the field; a nice 3 and out to start the second half would be ideal…

10-10 at half time was probably the last score line I would have guessed Dennis Allen’s D has come to play, but some of the drops and unusual play calling from Bears means we are all level (Bears should be up by 7)

Yesterday was too mad to read these probably, but have finished both this morning - two brilliant editions, even more so given all the hasty rewriting that must have taken place after the Amorim sacking!!! Top effort as always @barneyrednews @AndyMitten @UWSmag 👏👏👏 🔴⚪️⚫️

@FootballEJ UK Bears fan here - for me it was Payton, McMahon and The Fridge on the Sunday morning highlights on Channel 4. Being there for the Bears ‘home’ game in London was awesome, but will definitely get to Soldier Field eventually!!!

One of the most frequent questions I get asked: If you're not from CHI (I'm not), why the Bears? For me, it starts in '83 watching Walter Payton struggle... and succeed. Something extremely noble about the effort and respect he commanded; from everyone. I was hooked & never left.

@FootballEJ @BrettKollmann I’ve been listening to you guys for a while, but it doesn’t look like either of you are from the Chicago area unless I’m missing something? What are your Bears’ origin stories?

Know times are expensive but the print fanzines are one of the last constants from before all the shite thrown at us now, and one of the only truly indepdendent voices challenging back at it all. And a decent, varied read for less than a pint.
Barney @Red News@barneyrednews

Fanzine wise, thanks so much for the support this year. Podcast upturn is great +28% higher. Mag wise, we -10% down App, -15% Kindle, -15% Print and +10% PDF. That's not sustainable in long run so fingers crossed. Please if you say support the fanzines, please support us in 2026.
