FOOTBALL GOVERNANCE BILL - REVIEW & COMMENTARY The Football Governance Bill was published last week. Below is a link to my detailed review of the Bill, along with my initial thoughts on it. #football #sportslaw #sportsbiz linkedin.com/posts/steven-f…

Just reading through the Football Governance Bill. Section 8(d) gives statutory recognition to the specificity of football, lest there be any further dispute about it or sport generally. #football #footballregulator

Ted Flynn’s favourite summer holiday - a day on the beach in Abersoch @love_prezzo

Name the beach. If you did your secondary education in South Wales, you’ve almost certainly been here. #WestWales

What a ball that was!!! #AUSENG #Lionesses

6 year old son was asked to dress up as his favourite musician. Most others went for Freddie Mercury or ABBA. He chose to go as @FatboySlim #ProudParent

@RugbyBarrister I spent my formative years following the Déise around Munster (we rarely got beyond that) & still get over for a few games. Not as often as I’d like since I had kids but I have started taking them home for the county match. Waterford hurling & Munster rugby are my sporting loves.

Hurling is the greatest sport, and the All-Ireland is an incredible occasion. You should watch it if you can.

Beautiful afternoon for crabbing off the quay in Nefyn. #Wales #SeaSide

@lovefutebol That’s right and is in the right ballpark. Even without mitigation he’d have been able to play vs Scotland (arguably the most significant game). Some people are suggesting he should be banned for the tournament, which would be wildly disproportionate.

@SteveFlynnBar The RWC was clearly a factor, but they state it would nonetheless have been a six match ban - meaning not featuring in any group stage games - had it not been for mitigation (early admission of misconduct apologies, otherwise excellent disciplinary record, etc).

Suggestions that the #Sexton ban is outrageous ignore the central importance of proportionality when sanctioning disciplinary offences. The Panel had to have regard to the fact that the RWC is soon. Anything more would have gone beyond that necessary to protect the game. #rugby

Brilliant advert. So clever. No spoilers. Just watch to the end.
