Affordability Checks - Imagine at the point of sale when buying a gold bracelet or a Rolex, or a high end meal at a restaurant, or your fourth pint on a night out, being asked for your bank details and proof of income. It’s all bollocks isn’t it. Why have we stood for it so long?

🗣️ "Fans of all teams and levels need to start boycotting football games.”
🗣️ “It’s absolutely disgusting how fans are fleeced out of the sport we helped build."
Outrage continues over World Cup ticket prices, with the cheapest ticket for the opening USMNT game costing a staggering $1,000.

@FansAgainstVAR_ I say this as an Arsenal Fan. The game is gone. VAR is a cancer to the beautiful game. To think that a game which has stayed the same for 100 years capturing the imagination of the entire world, Somehow needs “improvement” with this farce is an insult to football

Sir Alex Ferguson perfectly sums up everything wrong with modern Premier League football: no risk.
“There’s no point in faffing about in midfield with a few passes and not taking a risk.” 🎯
Today’s game is dull, slow and very boring. Teams are drilled to within an inch of their lives. Safe, cautious, zero mavericks. Possession for possession’s sake. Zero courage to commit men forward when it matters.
That’s not the Premier League we fell in love with.
Fergie knew the magic: take the risk, overload the box, go for the last-minute winner. Dressing room buzzing. Fans going home electric. 🔥
Bring back the risk. Bring back the excitement. The Premier League dies without it.

@brucemillington @danielstorey85 I remember reading your columns in the RP before it came in and how you said it would ruin the game. You were dead wrong. It has DESTROYED it.

@danielstorey85 There’s a very simple fix. Scrap VAR. A great many professional and semi-professional matches take place in England every week. Only ten use VAR. it can and should very easily be junked. Oh, and get the other lino down as an extra pair of eyes for corners.

Most of the West Ham vs Arsenal discussion obfuscates the main conclusion: this is not football as entertainment.
Worse still, I don’t think anything can be done.

@chrismgalloway @danielstorey85 It’ll return the precious flow of the game to what it was. And, as the Championship shows, the odd error is not materially damaging to the game overall. Now tell me how to make VAR better…

@FansAgainstVAR_ Even those of us who watch the EPL/LaLiga/CL etc on television (I'm not English), hate the damn thing. I don't know a single person who likes it now. And it was probably 50/50 when it came in.

The single best thing about football and why it's the best sport in the world is the elation of scoring a goal and the superbness of the moment.
Take that away and you lose what football is.
VAR has killed the sport at that level. It's that simple. It's all for tourists now

@Cantona_Collars Well said. For the life of me, I cannot see what anyone sees in him.

A fan wants the club fixed.
A grifter wants the club broken.
And when it isn’t broken enough, they start sowing division to try and break it themselves.
Because outrage pays better than optimism.
Negativity is this cunts business model.

@kevinhatchard I don't know anyone who likes it at this stage. But sure our betters in charge know better than their paying customers......

I keep saying it, but get rid of #VAR and let the match referee do the job. Yes, I can see the foul on Raya, but I can also see the foul by Declan Rice, so again it has failed as a system. It creates a false idea of perfection that simply can’t be achieved, and it harms refs.

I’d call Ivan a Paddy Power regular and a Leopardstown regular, both for 35+ years.
To refuse him a payment on track without proof of address is ridiculous when he had his passport
€2k at 2/9. Over 80% his own stake.
Utterly shameful @paddypower
He’s v upset - please RT

Aston Villa Updates@avfcbreaking
There was a time when a European final belonged to the supporters who dragged their club there. Not anymore. When Aston Villa were handed roughly 11,000 tickets for a Europa League final in a 70,000-plus stadium, the number itself told the story. UEFA can package the event however it likes — “festival of football”, “European showpiece”, “global celebration” — but the modern European final is no longer built around supporters. It is built around clients. The supporters fund the journey. The corporates inherit the destination. Villa fans will have spent thousands following the club across Europe. Flights, hotels, time off work, loyalty schemes built over years. Yet when the final arrives, huge sections of the stadium are reserved for sponsors, hospitality guests, executives, delegates and “neutral” allocations that often end up on resale sites within hours. And supporters are expected to accept it. UEFA’s defence is familiar. Sponsors fund competitions. Broadcasters need space. Hospitality drives revenue. All true. But football crossed a line when the event surrounding the final became more important than the supporters inside it. The optics are awful because fans can see it themselves. A finalist gets 11,000 tickets while corporate packages costing thousands remain available. Genuine supporters scramble through ballots with lottery-like odds, while neutral areas fill with tourists taking photos during the warm-up. And UEFA wonders why resentment grows. Supporters are constantly called “the lifeblood of the game” until ticket allocations are discussed. Then they become an inconvenience to work around premium inventory. Football did not become Europe’s dominant sport because sponsors created atmosphere. The noise, colour and emotion UEFA sells globally every season is generated by match-going supporters — the same people increasingly pushed aside at the biggest games. The “neutral fan” concept is perhaps the biggest fiction of all. In theory it promotes access. In reality it fuels resale markets, inflated prices and thousands travelling ticketless out of desperation. UEFA could change it tomorrow. Finalists could receive 70 per cent of the stadium combined. Corporate sections could shrink. Hospitality would still exist. But that would mean sacrificing revenue. And modern football has shown repeatedly which side wins that argument. #AVFC #scfreiburg

@TeamMatchbook your bet builder prices are a disgrace. Instead of offering money back, just be competitive.

Thats exactly whats happening.

Could somebody at the Gambling Commission take their fingers out of their ears and consult - you know - the gambling consumer?
Not a single person I know will opt in to this nanny care app to play in the regulated market.
Congrats Black Market sites 🎉
