One thing I found difficult about my brother's disability was that we'd never get to play @EASPORTSFIFA again because he has limited use of his hands. Thanks to @SpecialEffect for lending him this adapted kit so he could beat me once again. And yes, he genuinely did

It was a tale of two cities and two very different football grounds for an @FCBarcelona fan who turned up at the wrong St James Park last night 🏟️ The Spanish supporter, who made the journey to Devon from London, turned up at the turnstiles of Exeter City’s Adam Stansfield stand last night, expecting to see his team take on @NUFC. It was only when he showed his ticket to staff that he realised his mistake. But he got to see a got to see a game of football – Exeter City staff sorted him out a ticket for the game against Lincoln under the lights of the real St James Park! Adam Spencer, Supporter Experience Officer at Exeter City, said: “One of our volunteers came to the office to let us know that this guy had turned up expecting to see FC Barcelona. His English wasn’t great, but from what we could gather, he’d come from London. My guess is he’d put St James Park in his phone and then just followed the directions from there. “He was pretty gutted and a bit embarrassed. So, we sorted him out a ticket and he got to watch a game at the real St James Park. He’d be welcome back any time.” #ECFC #SemperFidelis

I don't get modern dating. It's all "hey wanna come over and watch the parliament channel?" and you're like "obviously!" and then they have THE NERVE to put on the amending stage of a bill but haven't printed copies of the bill and the amendments for you. Chivalry is dead!

athlete: so if triathlon is running, biking and swimming, that must mean biathlon is running and biking? coach: [taking out skis and a gun] haha yeah you’d think so

*Not so fun fact. Matt Goodwin was my dissertation supervisor. Only briefly mind. I swapped after he said that my idea - a study and survey on the politics of the homeless (less than 1% vote) - was of "no academic interest". I got a 1st 🎓

“It was a brain damage type of dementia.” @HayleyMcQueen, daughter of Gordon McQueen, says it “seems like a no-brainer” for footballers to undergo brain screening, after a coroner found that repeatedly heading a ball contributed to his brain injury. #TimesRadio

The loss of newspapers, and specifically local newspapers, is terrible for many reasons, but two primarily: 1. It weakens modes of accountability for local politics. Less local papers means less local reporters investigating, asking questions and holding local officials accountable which leads the way for deeper corruption and abuse of power. 2. It allows for bigger papers with vested ideological and financial interests - like the NYT, WashPo, WSJ etc - to tighten their monopoly on covering power, finance and politics.

"Those who can burn the olive groves of Palestinians can burn everything." Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert expresses outrage over ongoing settler violence in the occupied West Bank, calling it "totally unacceptable, intolerable and unforgivable... done with the tacit cooperation... of the Israeli police and a gross indifference by the Israeli military in the area. And it is time to stop it." Watch our full interview here.

The video shows IDF soldiers summarily executing two Palestinians detained secs earlier in Israeli-occupied West Bank. The UN’s documented more than 1,000 people killed in the WB by Israeli forces or settlers in the past 2 years 🧵

‘The rise of base, reflexive racism in this country is disturbing.’ @Lewis_Goodall hits back at social media accounts stoking talk of ‘civil war’ after quoting an unnamed ‘academic’.

@YesWeCrann Hey Joe - could you follow me back so I can dm you about something asap? Thanks!

THE FIRST PINCH-HIT GRAND SLAM IN WORLD SERIES HISTORY!

Israeli ultranationalist minister of finance Smotrich: "If Saudi Arabia is telling us that in return for normalization they want a Palestinian state - we will say: Friends, no thank you, you can continue riding camels on the sand in the Saudi desert"

Is this because I was asked to meet @Nigel_Farage by @reformparty_uk and said no ? Well FYI I was also asked to meet Starmer and said no. I don’t want any part with you politicians. This is why

@_jasminepetrou Understand where you’re coming from Jasmine but think you can do better than this

In 2016, Jonjo Shelvy called Romain Saïss an “Arab cunt” and now he’s twerking for Dubai - where he can’t even play the top tier and has to play second tier. Hahahahahahahaha. Possibly the most bald person who ever lived. Surprised anyone procreated with him.

Mahmoud Abu Foul was detained by Israel after the military stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza last December. Now, after being freed as part of the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel, he recalls the 'torture' he suffered in a detention centre that he says caused him to lose his eyesight. We put the accusations to the Israeli military. It has not responded.
