The_Incrementalist

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

@elonmusk ANC still figuring out how they can take their share of the R500M

Still no approval

Go for it.

Early specialization is overrated. Generalists excel over time. Data on >34k stars in sports, music, science, and chess: Focusing on a single field predicts a faster rise, but cross-training foreshadows a higher peak. The most successful adults start off as well-rounded kids.

@HuwGriffinRugby I hope this becomes a Substack feature article

🧑‍💻 THE KEY STAT WHERE SOUTH AFRICA ARE IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN 🇿🇦 When reviewing the stats for men’s test rugby in 2025, I stumbled upon one metric that demonstrates just how far ahead the #Springboks are of the rest Let me explain… 🧵

@SharksRugby My #1 post this year 🙌🏻 pure joy

Now this was special 🥹 Coming in at number 3️⃣ in our top five posts of 2025.

@PatrickParfrey @RassieRugby Of course, as long as you have a good sense of humour 😉

@RassieRugby Can an Irishman join?

Okay lekka looks like we have a lekka size group for a walk!! We’ll do it then on Thursday 25 Dec at 06h00 infront of Doodles. It’s a fast walk (not run) - 3km out and 3 back! = GI Dezember 🇿🇦

@gailalfaratx There is no incentive for a Corrupt government to truly educate its people.

Isn’t it ironic how Elon’s Starlink wants to drop free, unlimited, super-fast internet into 5,000 rural South African schools, but SA’s bureaucracy insists on saying no. I think the 2.4 million kids in SA without proper access would benefit immensely. Starlink is even putting R500 million (about $29.4 million USD) on the table themselves, no cost to the government or the schools. All they’re asking? A normal licence to operate in SA. Here’s the crazy part: because of the 30% black-ownership rule (B-BBEE), ICASA keeps saying “nope.” Starlink says, “Cool, we won’t sell shares, but we’ll just give you this giant school project instead,” using the same Equity Equivalent programme that Microsoft, Amazon and IBM already got approved with. The Communications Minister is literally begging ICASA to accept it. Neighbours like Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are already connected and loving it. Yet here we are, end of 2025, and those satellites are just flying over South Africa doing nothing while kids in the bundus still can’t pursue their dreams. Come on, South Africa, don’t be the only country turning down free internet for millions of learners. The irony, to me, is that Elon was born in South Africa, the very place that is telling him no to such a generopus offer!

@AndyGoode10 @EnglandRugby @rugbyworldcup Who won the 2025 Six Nations?

So @EnglandRugby’s route to @rugbyworldcup glory will likely be Last 16 v Italy Quarters v Australia Semi’s v Ireland Final v South Africa Happy with that, it’s coming home!

@jaredwright17 Can’t wait to see the outcome of the “independent” citing commission 🙃

Dog shot. James Ryan was lucky not to see a permanent red like previous calls this November. #IREvRSA

@The_Stat_Guy_10 @rioferdy5 Doesn’t INVINCIBLE beat Unstoppable?

The Stats Of All These Trios are Insane😳🌟!!! A) Mane, Firmino, Salah: ◉ 338 COMBINED GOALS ◉ 6 major trophies together 🏆 ◉ Champions League winners 2019 ◉ Premier League winners 2020 ◉ Most potent attacking trio in Liverpool history B) Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez: ◉ 344 COMBINED GOALS ◉ 3 Premier League titles 🏆 ◉ 1 Champions League 🏆 ◉ Most feared attack in Europe (2007-09) ◉ 84 goals in ONE season (2007-08) C) Pires, Henry, Berkamp: ◉ 410 COMBINED GOALS ◉ INVINCIBLES season 2003-04 👑 ◉ 3 Premier League titles 🏆 ◉ 49 GAMES UNBEATEN Changed English football forever The answer? B 👑 Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez = UNSTOPPABLE 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝘂𝘆

Debate…. A) Mane, Firmino, Salah B) Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez C) Pires, Henry, Berkamp Who u going for?

@Springboks I’ll give you a guess where the TMO is from 🙃 Conveniently missed the tackle in the air and no arms tackle on Siya

Franco Mostert is shown a permanent red card for a dangerous tackle on Garbisi in the 12th minute, the Boks are down to 14 men for the rest of the game 🟥 #Springboks #ForeverGreenForeverGold #ITAvRSA

@jaredwright17 If he wraps, he rips his head off! So basically…Red Card either way! Becoming a f&$@ing joke

🟥 Franco Mostert's red card. Insane decision. #ITAvRSA

@ChalynRugby I don’t think this is a weak team, perhaps it’s “weaker” than last Saturday, but not VERY beatable. Also shouldn’t teams be building depth in their squads as we build up to the next WC? Some of these players have been the FORM players for their respective franchises.

Very beatable. This is Italy’s best chance yet. The last time they faced the All Blacks in Turin, it ended in a narrow 29- 11 win for New Zealand. Dear Springboks, Don’t take them lightly! #Springboks #Italy #ITAvRSA #Rugby 🇮🇹🇿🇦

@Soet_Patat @LeinsterClub @jaredwright17 That’s all this guy does, try and bait Boks supporters. I guess there’s not much else to do when you can’t win a WC 🏆 even with their Generational talent

@LeinsterClub @jaredwright17 Are you trying to be a retard? The fact is he still punched someone, in the head, twice, and didn't get a ban. There is no actual evidence of anything happening. I'll just accuse you of assaulting me because we were in the same town, must be true right...

🚨 Lood de Jager’s Springboks season is over. 🚨 The lock has been banned for four matches. Statement from #QuilterNS: South Africa number 5, Lood de Jager before an independent Disciplinary Committee this afternoon via video link having received a red card for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.16 in the match between France and South Africa on Saturday 8th November 2025.         The independent Disciplinary Committee was chaired by Jennifer Donovan (Ireland), joined by former referees Val Toma (Romania) and Donal Courtney (Ireland). The Disciplinary Committee has upheld the red card issued to the player and by applying World Rugby’s sanctioning provisions, have determined that the mid-range entry point of six weeks/matches was appropriate. Mitigating factors were applied by the Committee reducing the six-week entry point by two weeks, thus reducing the final sanction to four weeks/matches. The suspension will cover the following matches: •15 November 2025 – Italy vs South Africa, Quilter Nations Series •22 November 2025  – Ireland vs South Africa, Quilter Nations Series •29 November 2025  – Wales vs South Africa, Quilter Nations Series •14 December 2025 - Wild Knights v Toshiba Brave Lupus, Japan League One * * The player has additionally been given permission to apply to take part in World Rugby’s Coaching Intervention Programme to substitute the final match of their sanction which is aimed at modifying specific techniques and technical issues that contributed to the foul play.

@oxnche Speedy recovery Big Man!

Will be back soon🙏🏾🇿🇦.

@CPFC @SunExpress Well deserved! 🦅 having been flying high for some time now 👏🏻

Football, just pure football... Powered by @SunExpress Airlines 🛫

Defeat.

@rugby_ap Didn’t mean much last week. If they have NO gameplan it doesn’t matter how many Springboks they have in the squad

13 Springboks in the starting 15.
