'VAR was supposed to give on-field referees an extra pair of eyes to sense-check their calls. Instead, we seem to have doubled up on errors and time-wasting.'
🛑 We've had enough - VAR has failed the Premier League, writes @kvlmason.

Working in sport is an absolute thrill that should be open to anyone with aptitude and passion. But news that 88% of women surveyed in the industry have been targets of sexual misconduct tells us we must do better - or lose their talents. Column: metro.co.uk/2026/02/16/sex…

In which I give myself PTSD remembering Conte’s 22/23 champions league campaign. (pic from that very night, trying not to storm pitch.) Column: metro.co.uk/2026/01/22/hum…

First wrote for Metro a decade ago, on board as a columnist for four years, dealt with endless body blows as a Spurs fan and still delivering the goods (despite writing about Spurs)… here’s @kvlmason’s latest metro.co.uk/2026/01/22/hum…

Today marks the 30th anniversary of my first day in newspapers at the @haverhill Echo… safe to say the industry’s changed a tad (and so have I!)
English
@greateranglia Thank you. I’m keeping a close eye and will keep my fingers crossed.

Good evening Dave, this service is currently running as scheduled. However, with the nature of the incident there may be last minute changes to specific services therefore I'd advise you to keep a close eye on the live departure boards in the station for the most up to date information.
English
❗Due to a person hit by a train between Colchester and Witham all lines are blocked.
ℹ️Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised.
⌚Disruption is expected until further notice.
English
@greateranglia Hi. Appreciate there’s a lot going on but if I’m on the 23:30 out of Liverpool Street, will I be able to get to Ipswich if the rail replacement will only go as far as Colchester?
English
❗Rail replacement vehicles have been requested to run between Witham and Colchester but are not yet confirmed. At present, we do no expect them to be in place before 22:45, so please delay your journey until the buses are confirmed.
Emergency services have been informed and some have arrived on the scene to investigate.

Looking forward to Madness tonight but got to say @Squeezeofficial were superb… what a band!
English
@Nick_Metcalfe Cheers Nick. Always loved Squeeze and somehow never caught them live, so looking forward enormously to seeing them.
English
@DaveFilmerMetro Enjoy Dave, I thought Squeeze were excellent. I suspect Madness will be top notch now after the bad reviews.
English
Some bad reviews for the Madness tour. As it happens I wasn’t going to bother to say anything because I did have a great time and it’s Christmas. But I did think in Sheffield last week that it was flatter than past Madness concerts I’ve been to. Suggs didn’t seem fully up for it.

A strange, and desperately sad, piece to write.
Some reflections on the conversation I had with Ricky Hatton just seven days before his tragic passing.

“Spain are a different prospect but who better to give an inside track on them than @Lionesses Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh?”
