@BenColeyGolf It was a truly great performance considering the bunched field and no one else managed to deal with the conditions as well. It was no fluke

He’s six-under for the last nine holes. This major will get mocked in years to come, we all know it, but if you swap out Rai for Scheffler it becomes one of the great closing performances of this generation. It does not get better.

@footballconfid1 I’m just glad that the updating of this rule because Spurs conceded a pen in first min of a CL final has benefited Man U in a dead rubber game. It’s all been worthwhile. Dont feel so bad now.

Is it any wonder then that the officiating in this country is in such a state and clearly biased towards certain clubs?!

@TFTerraceMedia The various qualified refs in the VAR truck seemed to disagree

🚨 IT WAS NEVER HANDBALL! ⚖️👀 Bryan Mbeumo did NOT commit an offensive handball. ❌ No controversy ❌ No robbery ✅ The referee followed the LAWS OF THE GAME

@GKW1908 Did he catch almost catch the bloody ball? Yes

But he made the correct decision going off the current laws of the game. Was Mbeumo the one who scored? No Was the hand ball accidental? Yes Did the ball hit another part of his body first before hitting his arm? Yes All 3 things means the goal correctly stood

@clickkillmc @ArrGee79 So if Motherwell fans had of invaded pitch in 95th minute last week at 1 all it would have stood?

@ArrGee79 2 mins to go the rules are clear pal

Hypothetical situation. Celtic and Dunfermline are drawing 1-1 entering five minutes of injury time. Pars score in the 93rd minute, jubilant fans invade the pitch and disrupt the final two minutes of the game. What happens next….. 🤔

@ArrGee79 Penalty to Celtic I assume

@prodnose What if u accidentally catch a ball? Apparently that’s ok if it touches another part of ur body first.

No not a time to "change the law". Law says if you handle the ball intentionally you have committed an offence. It's that simple. VAR has decided, like every other aspect of football, to over complicate and confuse what the rules are. Bunches of jobsworths justifying their jobs.

@SkySportsNews They’re gaslighting us now with this idea that it was not handball cos it hit his body first. He nearly caught the thing ffs

🗣️ "VAR has done everything they can." Dermot Gallagher has had his say on the controversial decision to award Man Utd their second goal against Nottingham Forest, despite it striking the arm of Bryan Mbeumo in the build up 🤔

@henrywinter If it was a obvious correct decision by the ref according to the hand ball law why did various qualified referees in the VAR box send him to the screen? It’s almost like they’re making it up as they go along.

The problem with the reasoning that the handball was deemed accidental as the ball also came off Bryan Mbeumo’s hip before it hit his arm is that he then controlled it. It didn’t just hit his arm, he trapped the ball, clearly gaining an advantage as he turned and shot. #MUNNFO

@EwanMacKenna This is the old interpretation nonsense. How u define ‘interfering with play’. I’m an old dinosaur who played at the back all my life and will never understand how a forward in middle of box is not interfering! Think Clough who said if ur not interfering why r u on the pitch!

A lot of Celtic fans are arguing that it isn't offside by the rules. It is, the laws just are ignored. And I've argued this long before their winner today. Rule states: Interfering with an opponent by: Making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball. Sorry but making a defender track you impacts their ability to play the ball. You might disagree with the rule, but that is still quite literally the rule. It is just ignored every single time.

@BrendanPorath It’s pretty dull to watch thou

Interesting Scottie Scheffler theory and great segment last night with Paul McGinley on Live From, which has been 💪 this week.

@TheNotoriousHRT Tbf it completely solves tipping culture! Charge extra so u can give it to the staff. If their service is particularly good they may leave more. It’s hardly rocket science.

i think this is a fair practice given that tipping culture isn't going to be solved in the next 2 months and European tourists are fucking assholes

@The_Forty_Four For someone who has little interest in SPL football I’ve learned my lesson. I watched the games on Wed out of curiosity as it was different than normal. Bloody hell, the bile spouted is unreal. No one can see beyond their own narrow views. Everyone is against everyone!!!

Not even Celtic fans can say it hits his hand now… Clear as day

@CasuallyGreg The cheeky message at the bottom! Piss right off! If you can afford to pay your staff you can afford to continue in business.

“Pay our employees, because we won’t.”

@halfpintGlass @MorbidKnowledge Bob Wilson anchor man! Why

@MorbidKnowledge Why is there a photo of ex-Arsenql goalkeeper Bob Wilson with this post??

In 2011, Mitchell Carey ate a corned beef sandwich at lunchtime. Twenty-five minutes later he was on the floor. He sweated profusely, stripped off his clothes, and told the people around him his pain was ten out of ten.He was rushed to hospital. Doctors treated him, stabilised him, and sent him home the same day. A serious case of food poisoning, they figured. Rest, medication, fluids. He would be fine. He was not fine. The following day he collapsed again at home and was taken back to hospital, where he died on August 18 from multiple organ failure. His body had been quietly destroying itself from the inside since that first bite. What was k*lling him was something almost no one on earth had ever encountered. Clostridium perfringens Type A had only been recorded seven times in the world, according to an expert who testified at the inquest. Not a rare condition. Not an unusual condition. A condition so obscure it barely existed in medical literature. His doctors had almost no framework for recognising it, no established protocol for treating it, and very little understanding of how fast it could move. It moved fast. From sandwich to d*ad in two days. His organs failed one by one while his family watched and doctors struggled to understand what they were even looking at. By the time the picture became clear, there was nothing left to save. His d*ath had initially been attributed to stepping on a sea urchin during a recent holiday in Greece, which tells you everything about how invisible and bewildering Clostridium perfringens Type A is.

@chadmumm If someone is wearing a hat indoors in Ireland it should be mandatory to tap them on the shoulder and say “you’ll not feel the benefit”

Never really noticed how uncommon it is to see hats indoors in Ireland until this trip. Kind of a nice bit of classic etiquette that you only see in the US at old school golf clubs.

@KickingMatch It’s absolutely mental to think that we used to spend the first 2 months of every season playing the Ulster and Gold cups before starting to he league in late September/early October.

Emm, instant reaction is that a cup for this is a bit overkill. Anybody love it?

@OfficialNIFL I may be misremembering but was the Ulster cup not briefly played for by second tier sides in the early days of promotion and relegation?

The Ulster Cup is back 🏆 A symbol of history reborn now awarded to the BetMcLean European Play-Off winners. Tradition meets ambition. 📰 shorturl.at/OcWYH

@jamierkennedy Every kid from Portrush’s dream! I was a student up there in the 90’s and u couldn’t move for kids in OKGC shirts. Mans living the dream!

Huge congratulations to Gmac…. Must be a true honor to be part of the “first US-centric, geography-located, [professional golf] team” Philanthropically and foundationally.
