@DaytrippingRed You're missing our best ever strikers (Best and Ronaldo), our best midfielders (Edwards, Charlton, Robson), and our best centre back (Ferdinand). Otherwise spot on!

@KieranMaguire Hi Kieran, you probably already know this, but it already is an offence (Fraud Act). This will create a new specific offence of tailgating, which means a FBO can be applied for if convicted. We posted a video about it a while back:

@Laney338 Surely this may enhance the art? Weed out the uncommitted amateurs?

Good to see this article point out that jibbing was already a crime. The new offence will, however, presumably quickly make the list of offences that can lead to a Football Banning Order. bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@mjshrimper There were plenty of examples of prosecutions, convictions, and banning orders for jibbing using existing offences. My view is the main advantages of the new offence are in terms of fan awareness, and inclusion in FSA1989 Sch.1 for the purpose of banning orders.

Until this weekend, gaining entry to a football match without a ticket by tailgating through a turnstile, using a fake ticket or impersonating staff was not a specific criminal offence, so prosecution was rare. But, thanks to a new law, it is now. nytimes.com/athletic/71321…

Senegal’s president casually updates his social profile pictures to include the AFCON trophy behind him. How do you say “come and get it if you can” in Wolof?

Supporters in the Premier League look set to face another summer of price rises, as seven clubs announce their pricing plans for 2026-27. Those increases range from small above-inflation rises of around the 3-5% mark, all the way up to 15-20% depending on the club and seat. thefsa.org.uk/news/premier-l…

Being near something can get you charged, but not convicted. In court, proximity isn't guilt. Don't assume a case is "open and shut" just because you were nearby. #KnowYourRights #FootballLaw
