@WG_RumblePants Growing up - Jim Laker with Benaud. Johnners on the radio. Later Gower, Botham, Holding and Warne. Currently Broad could be excellent. If Baz ball stays Livingston for the entertainment factor

I know many people miss the sound of Richie’s voice on commentary. He’s probably still widely regarded as the best tv cricket commentator. But, if Richie remains at #1, who would you put at #2? I’m genuinely interested to see who people pick. Radio commentators need not apply!

@KieranMaguire I remember being at Elland Road in the late 80s - Chelsea fans pelted us with 50p coins. Being Yorkshire we kept the lot - paid for my ticket, food, and drinks that evening

Appreciate this ban affects all fans but Brighton fans have been advised that coins and phone power banks are banned from the Stadium of Light and there will be ‘enhanced searching’. “Any coins discovered during searches will be placed into sealed collection buckets. These will be donated to Brighton and Hove Albion Foundation” Twelve hours of travel plus the match itself on a single charge is pushing it. As for coins, I’ve never assaulted anyone with a 20 pence coin before, but is that how football fans are seen these days?

@LeedsLoudHaler @allleedsaway Don’t say that - your giving me nightmares about Charlton in 1987

@allleedsaway Agree total joke . All abt money from fans and broadcasters . In real world 3rd in Champs should play 3rd bottom in Prem home and away ( no play offs ) IMO

Games gone

@robsellers123 York City could join the list

I remember seeing this on the 1% club and I got it in the 30 seconds What links these 4 ?

@nffcsoph @Caz_NFFC @WestHam_Central And yet - after Arsenal absolutely spanked us last month - I watched loads of Gunners walking away side by side with Leeds fans. I’ve been abused at West Ham, spurs, Oldham, Chelsea, villa, Bradford, Sheff u. But I’ve never thought those idiots were representative of the majority

@SimonRigg @Caz_NFFC @WestHam_Central Obviously not every leeds fan would do that but after the game loads shout in our faces i didn’t experience a single word or dig yesterday at brighton or any other game we’ve been to even home games when we see away fans no ones said anything before

Morning Leeds United – 31 Tottenham Hotspur – 29 Nottingham Forest – 27 West Ham – 25 Who's going down?

@nffcsoph @Caz_NFFC @WestHam_Central If you have a 9 year old, I’d suggest being less liberal with your use of the c word. I’ve been going to ER since 1977 - I’m sorry you received that sort of abuse but it isn’t representative of what I’ve seen

@SimonRigg @Caz_NFFC @WestHam_Central Could say same about your lot i go to away games and the amount of abuse me and my 9 year old received from Leeds fans was worse than derby fans that says a lot.. never received abuse anywhere else horrible cunts 🙃

@Caz_NFFC @WestHam_Central I was going to say that I hoped Forest stayed up - but am switching to West Ham now. What a nasty thing to say

@WestHam_Central I'd like Leeds gone. Horrible club, Horrible fans. They belong in The Championship

@JonathanRo11063 @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting Not necessarily. But overall management costs are lower and numbers treated in the UK are higher I think.

@SimonRigg @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting "Efficient" is not the word. You'd be treated quicker in France or Switzerland.

The cat’s out of the bag! Farage's Tory turncoats would replace our NHS with an insurance system. We can't let Reform UK anywhere near it. Labour built the NHS. It’s now on the road to recovery. With Labour’s NHS, whenever you’re ill, you’ll never have to worry about the bill!

@JonathanRo11063 @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting But I still think the NHS - for all its faults - is better than any of the European models. It’s certainly the most efficient.

@SimonRigg @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting Yeah but its not either this or America is it? That's the false dichotomy, people think its one or the other. The French system would be better than the American one by far.

@JonathanRo11063 @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting That’s the problem with this app “spouting liberal platitudes” sounds like an insult. To me the NHS does far more good than harm - and is more efficient and productive than any where profit comes into play and people are looking to make millions out of sickness

@SimonRigg @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting I wasnt insulting you, I was pointing out you were arguing with the exact same language the liberal elite use to control and shame people. This comment was much more human. It wasnt a blanket statement about the NHS being shit, just that its not this phenomenal miracle.

@JonathanRo11063 @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting It saved my life though when it found my bowel cancer, operated, gave me chemo and radiotherapy. I’m sorry about your step-mum but please don’t insult me for having a different view. Yes the books can be balanced - needs to be managed properly.

@SimonRigg @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting They didnt help my step mom when they told her her cancer was a stomach ulcer. Id rather still have a step mom and be in debt. Its not this miracle you think it is. Youre just spouting liberal platitudes. Can you balance the books? If not it's not workable.

@JonathanRo11063 @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting No - they just need managing properly (both). They’re both excellent models that protect the most vulnerable in society - and help all.

@SimonRigg @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting Both the NHS and the state pension are both pyramid schemes that require an ever increasing population growth without the infrastructure for everything else. If it got to the point where people would have to sacrifice themselves for the NHS they'd do it. Its becoming a cult.

@JonathanRo11063 @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting But that’s not true is it?

@SimonRigg @NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting And its unworkable without going into massive state debt were all on the hook for.

@NABurkinshaw @wesstreeting Look at any other model in the world and the NHS saves more people (pro rata) and is more efficient than any other

@wesstreeting I genuinely don't understand why that is bad? We clearly can't go on with it as it is.

@benalderson22 @wesstreeting The NHS saved my life. It’s amazing and is probably more efficient than any other model

@wesstreeting The NHS is not fit for purpose

@PIV_123 @TSSLUFC Wish I’d had a bet on it

@TSSLUFC Yep trying for a 0-0; I'd take it but it's a long shot.

That's a lot of changes. It's almost like we're not expecting to win this one 🤔

@Rmcfmjay York City, Birmingham City?

Don't forget to follow me as you're here, ifb

Name a football club without letter "E" Impossible

@mickquinn1089 Not a dinosaur - just ill informed. It is something Farke and the team have done for the past three years to say thank you. It’s not a lap of honour.

Call me a Dinosaur but After watching the #LEEDSLFC game I can’t recall in my 618 professional games ever doing a lap of honour after drawing a game 🤷🏻‍♂️

@JackLUFC1919 Why confused? Our team went toe to toe with the current champions, who spent more on one player than we probably spent on our entire team. And we got an unexpected point - and have four points from three games we were expected to lose. I’m happy

Not the best performance but we take the point. Bit confused at celebrating it like we won the champions league but whatever I'd go back to the 433 against brentford (said that even before today), be interesting to see what farke does

@neilhay3s @StanCollymore That is an outstanding reference! Congratulations

@StanCollymore I’m getting visions of Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox at this point. 😀

I've genuinely seen it all now.
