@BBCMOTD This is good to hear that there’s been VAR errors But the main question is What are you going to do about it It’s easy after the fact to admit this

There were found to be more VAR errors in the Premier League in the recent review. In gameweek 35 there were three VAR errors and one on-field error that didn't meet the VAR threshold.

@letsallsoccer @ProfBank Is it to go back to regional conferences I love how player safety is getting mentioned but what about 3 games in 3 days at the so called elite youth level Travel Friday, game Saturday, fly Sunday School for 4 days and repeat cycle

@ProfBank Could just get rid of most conferences, I would think? Let the teams build their own schedule based around their means.

This is a strong argument for a Fall-Spring season, but how will this work in big, geographically-distanced, conferences? If you play 2 games in 3 days to save money on road trips, safety is still compromised. If you don't, expenses are unsustainable. Something has to give.

@NILnotNLI Is Title IX outdated in this new college model and harming male sports Let 🏈 be a standalone sport and then each other sport can match up

University presidents should be completely embarrassed that through the years, as they sat back and handed Athletics the keys, they allowed the system to violate #TitleIX so greatly by watching 2 sports bankrupt their entire departments. ​And it’s only getting worse.

@mirageofwins @MilesMcQuiggan Problem is they can’t go and coach pro soccer Remember to coach in college you need a degree in any subject You don’t need a coaching license which is laughable

@MilesMcQuiggan Clearly coming from coaches that only care about their programs and playing usl teams. If you want to coach pro soccer, go coach pro soccer.

It is a bit counterintuitive in this time when most schools are struggling with budget issues and staff is burned out to make men's soccer a two-semester season and further overload schools in the spring. But the oars are rowing in a multitude of directions.

@ssteacherftw @MilesMcQuiggan Which is laughable that a college coach who is meant to one step away from the pros doesn’t need a coaching license Just any random Masters degree If this passes hopefully they’ll be coaching standards put in place also

@MTSmith78 @MilesMcQuiggan I’m sure they can rewrite that law. Right now, most ncaa schools don’t require a USSF/Uefa license but do require a masters degree to be head coach. Definitely a bachelors to coach so would think that could be an east accommodation

@ImCollegeSoccer Thank you for saying this it’s not right and think of player welfare The same should be said for the college showcases of 3 games in 3 days also

3 games in 9 days and in some conferences it’s 4 games in 10 days with the current model…… …do you think that’s in the best interest of the kids? It’s not! 20-22 games over 3 months is NOT in the best interest of the student athlete physically or mentally. #CSTruth

@Bubblebathgirl So does that mean he gets off all the charges As the usual rich people “go to rehab” With the hope it changes them Do us ordinary folk get that option and better still gets to leave the country

Tiger Woods is back home after completing a month of rehabilitation in Zurich, Switzerland. The 50-year-old golf legend was spotted walking on the tarmac at Palm Beach International Airport on Wednesday after flying in from Europe. Woods shared that this time away was necessary “in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.” He remains focused on returning to the game he loves. Wishing Tiger continued strength and success on his journey ahead. Here’s to better days and getting back on the ⛳ Think Tiger still has some championships left in him? I do. (Video: AI)

@sophielouisecc Sounds like a very convenient excuse, I stabbed him and killed him But he said a bad word to me, he’s not alive now to prove it So you must find me innocent What a joke of a system

An 18 year old boy gets stabbed and the police were more concerned about the fact he may have said hurty words to the alleged murderer and not the fact that he was dying. This country is finished, this should spark nationwide protests

@GBPolitcs @DailyMail Sounds like a very convenient excuse, I stabbed him and killed him But he said a bad word to me, he’s not alive now to prove it So you must find me innocent What a joke of a system

🚨NEW: An 18-year-old Southampton university student, Henry, has died after being repeatedly stabbed by 23-year-old Vikrum Digwa After being stabbed, Police arrested Henry as Digwa claimed he had been racially abused. Henry then passed out and died in the street [@DailyMail]

@thudock11 @MattMcWilliams2 @columbokah @NCAA_PR Oh I agree with you They don’t have a clue just get told your going to D1 and that’s it

@MTSmith78 @MattMcWilliams2 @columbokah @NCAA_PR I wasnt throwing anti- international it’s just factual they don’t grow up like American kids thinking about Duke UNC Michigan Penn St etc “elite athletics” Those guys are fine heading to Vermont, Marshall, Creighton, Akron etc That’s why power is more spread out

Committee adopts 2-semester playing season for DI men’s soccer. ncaa.org/news/2026/5/13…

@thudock11 @MattMcWilliams2 @columbokah @NCAA_PR 1, SEC due to title 9 so no men’s soccer, shouldn’t be allowed but it is 2, internationals make the college game better, coaches get the best players to help them win, which remember college soccer is all about 3, I agree with you

@MattMcWilliams2 @columbokah @MTSmith78 @NCAA_PR 1. Men’s soccer doesn’t exist in the SEC one major reason why 2. Much of Mens soccer is foreign roster driven and foreign players have no idea about “elite college athletic programs” changes it drastically 3. Lastly huge difference between limited off season programs and this

@mysportdabng @ChelseaFCW @samkerr1 1 conviction for racism language

@BasilTheGreat At what point do you start holding accountable the people that are allowing them in to the country But as usual, it doesn’t personally affect them so they don’t care

🚨NEWS: An Afghan Migrant has been arrested after he sneaked into a school toilets and sexually assaulted an 11 year old girl His friend held her down while the attack took place We can't go on living like this

@Warrior_Gooner @NormanBrennan Members of the jury should be forced to come and explain if they give not guilty Plus them and there family members should be banned from ever using the police again

@NormanBrennan Better send the jury to spec savers if they can’t see the evidence clearly in 4K HD from numerous angles and the earlier assault in the coffee shop. Facts not race or religion? Do that in any other country with armed police at an airport there’d be no need for a trial 💀

BREAKING NEWS; The Jury in the Trial of Two Brothers accused of causing ABH to PC Marsden an Armed GMP Officer at Manchester Airport enter their THIRD day of deliberating; None of us can comment further until the jury return their verdicts👇

@NormanBrennan Norman, are you afraid that if they get off It’s sets a DANGEROUS PRECEDENT that you can go around and attack the police and there’s no punishment

@MrCoachHale @cwhall75 Even 5 moments is a lot, is there a maximum about of players they can use The whole stuff is a joke players playing 20/25 mins in the first half and then making subs

@MTSmith78 @cwhall75 Sub rule in men's D1 changed for 2024 I think. Now teams are limited to 5 moments, not including halftime. I took last season off so I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's no re-entry in the same half.

This is quite frankly awful. Coaches get to throw a flag on the field and stop the game twice each? Ridiculous. Who asked for this? Worse still, who approved it?

@xGamechanger_ @CollegeSoccerID Great opportunities but if you really care about the players and getting them scouted why are you charging Making money of dreams of kids

@CoachGusMota @CollegeSoccerID Great opportunities for players to show what they bring to the table!👏

Two amazing opportunities for college exposure if you’re looking to play college soccer. June 27th in Rock Hill, SC July 25th in Houston, TX. Amazing schools in attendance at both events. @CollegeSoccerID For more details and Registration: collegesocceridentification.com/id-camps

@ssteacherftw @MilesMcQuiggan If that’s the case than it’s a great idea Would benefit the players especially going in to that pro enviroment One of the cons is that some of the college coaches wouldn’t be allowed to coach as they don’t have a coaching license which the MLS mandate

@MTSmith78 @MilesMcQuiggan Faintly remember talk of creating a split p4/academy/mls 2nd team league where they would compete in season. This could be that extra push because it gets them ready for what mls wants.

@sharrond62 Anyone else ready for the excuse “cultural misunderstanding” In that case deport them, if they don’t know right or wrong why are they there

Another one… 11 years old 😡

@RightSide_Uk Unfortunately if they get off it’s going to set a very dangerous precedent in your county It is saying you are free to attack the police 👮‍♀️ and nothing will be done about it

🚨 This is two-tier “justice” in 2026 Britain laid bare for the entire nation to see — and it’s an absolute national disgrace. Back in July 2024 at Manchester Airport’s Starbucks, Mohammed Fahir Amaaz headbutted an innocent customer like it was nothing. When police arrived to do their job, he and his brother Muhammad Amaad turned into animals — kicking seven shades of shit out of two female officers before launching a savage, unprovoked attack on PC Zachary Marsden. It’s all there in crystal-clear CCTV. At 36 seconds into the footage you can watch one of the brothers creep up from behind and drag the officer to the floor. No ambiguity. No “he said, she said.” Just raw, thuggish violence against the people we pay to protect us. Yet here we are — jury deliberations dragging on for TWO FULL DAYS on an open-and-shut case. Two days of “alleged” this and “context” that while the evidence screams guilty from every pixel. The question everyone is asking — and the one the establishment doesn’t want answered — is simple: how many Pakistani Muslims are sitting on that jury? Because in two-tier Britain, the rules bend when the perpetrators come from the “right” community. Starmer’s Labour government has spent years prioritising “community relations” over actual justice, turning our courts into a lottery where native Brits and our emergency services always lose. These brothers aren’t victims. They’re predators who thought they could treat British police like third-world street thugs — and the system is bending over backwards to give them every possible out. While patriotic Brits get dragged through the courts for tweets or peaceful protests, violent offenders from imported communities get kid-glove treatment, endless delays and juries apparently paralysed by “diversity.” This isn’t isolated. It’s the pattern: grooming gangs protected for years, Islamist mobs given free rein to scream at the King, and now police officers beaten on camera while the verdict hangs in the balance. Female officers — the very ones we’re told to celebrate in the name of “equality” — left battered because the state refuses to protect its own. The silent majority has had enough of this dangerous farce. We demand: ✅ Immediate guilty verdicts and maximum sentences for anyone who assaults emergency workers — no more excuses, no more “cultural context.” ✅ Jury reform so justice isn’t held hostage by demographic bias. ✅ Mass deportations for these brothers and anyone else who comes here only to spit on our laws and our people. ✅ An end to two-tier policing and two-tier courts under Starmer’s failing regime. If these brothers walk or get a slap on the wrist, the message to every thug on these islands will be crystal clear: attack British police and the system will protect you. Enough is enough. Protect our officers. Deliver real justice. Restore Britain before it’s too late. 🇬🇧 #TwoTierJustice #ManchesterAirportAttack #ProtectOurPolice #RestoreBritain #DeportNow #BritainFirst #StarmerOut #NoMoreTwoTier
