@The_Grumbler I think 200 is par unless really bad conditions. Sussex are really upsetting the @ECB_cricket 😂

Thumped. Batting was OK, solid score (is 200 par now?) But bowling showed its inexperience. Never had control of runs. Really needed Cook’s miserly overs early on.

YOUUU SHARKS! 🦈

@JohnSimpsonNews @wild_ted Criminals collaborate against the law.

The Financial Times reports that during his talks with Xi Jinping Donald Trump floated the idea that the US, China and Russia should co-operate against the International Criminal Court.

Comedy palate cleanser. Robert Jenrick about to grandstand but reminded of his defection from one party to another this year is gold. The timing. First line great. Second line superb but crowd not recovered from the first to fully appreciate it 😊

@JuliaHB1 @wesstreeting I might vote Labour for the first time if he does!

Fine, @wesstreeting. IF you get elected as Labour leader, and IF you survive as PM until the next election, then you can promise a referendum on rejoining the EU in your manifesto and IF you get re-elected as Prime Minister, we can all have a vote on it. Anything else would be undemocratic. You know you can't win that referendum. But I'm very happy for you to try. BRING IT ON!

@chris_sutton73 I’m afraid that the last 8 days have exposed the awfulness of Scottish football. Promoting sectarianism and rigged games. Thought you did a good job today, bye the way, unlike your colleague. His desperation for Celtic to win was nauseating.

I doubt you’d say it to Martin O’Neill’s face… what an embarrassing take anyway. Scottish people care about Scottish football and you can carry on not caring from London.

@ScotlandSky He’s a pretty nasty piece of work. Like the club.

🗣️ “If Hearts players have been accosted by some of our fans, that’s pretty serious.” 🗣️ “I was asking the fourth official, or one of the linesmen, in the tunnel, and he said it’s over.” Martin O’Neill on the post-match scenes after Celtic's title win over Hearts ⤵️

@JamTarts @philmcnulty You have been great. Deserved to be treated better by @spfl mafia. But Scottish football is corrupt and you know that there will be no justice. The commentary on @SkyFootball was a disgrace revealing the bias. Football in Scotland is about promoting sectarianism. #Aberdeen Fan

@DPJHodges The officials, working for the @spfl have ensured that Hearts were denied. They aren’t about to suddenly undo all their hard work.

So on Celtic v Hearts. Serious point. When Celtic's third goal goes in there are clearly 30 seconds of the match remaining. So the game has to restart. But it didn't. The game had to be abandoned because of the actions of the Celtic fans. Hearts players were assaulted. So in any normal circumstances surely that would mean the awarding of a 3-0 win to Hearts.

@JDVance You’re in trouble then! 😂

If you commit fraud against taxpayers, we're coming for you.

@nicolakeye44546 @SchwerpunktZ @campbellclaret @CelticFC @JamTarts You are both vile clubs

@SchwerpunktZ @campbellclaret @CelticFC @JamTarts Ball went to Osman first before maeda received it. onside. Funny how EPL players can't cope in the farmers league either. I think the amount of times people have raved about the Celtic fans and atmosphere they bring disputes your point. Rangers trashing Manchester city centre?

What an amazing season (and final match) turnaround for @CelticFC ... Hard not to feel sorry for @JamTarts who have given 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 football the most remarkable season in decades but honestly Celtic is a truly magical club in so many ways. And surely Martin O’Neill wins SPOTY coach of the year plus lifetime achievement!! Ps news broadcasters - unless the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 FA Cup Final ends 9-8 with ten red cards 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 title IS THE BIGGEST SPORTS STORY of the day !!

@SchwerpunktZ @campbellclaret @CelticFC @JamTarts Equal with @RangersFC maybe

@campbellclaret @CelticFC @JamTarts FA cup final far more important than the fixed farmers league 💩 👉🏼offside 👨🏼‍🦯‍➡️ 👉🏼Hearts players attacked 😳 👉🏼Celtic have the most disgusting fans in Uk 🥷🏿

@campbellclaret @CelticFC @JamTarts @CelticFC are sectarian violent yobs.

HAPPY COUNTY CRICKET DAY!!! What is county cricket all about? It’s about enjoying our incredible, silly sport in unique, storied venues the length and breadth of the land, becoming part of a community and sharing unforgettable moments with friends old and new. It’s gently tribal cricket that’s been passed down from one generation to the next. The story of the game is woven with the thread of county cricket. So cherish it, enjoy it, support it and help grow it! Help ensure it’s still there to be passed on, because it’s incredibly special. @ccricketday

@SkySportsNews The man is clueless and looks ridiculous.

@WisdenCricket @markbutcher72 @KiaUK He’s been bowling 4 overs every few days. Must be shattered. @englandcricket are the only people who still think you get better by not playing.

🗣️ "I find it absolutely ridiculous that you can be rested from an England Test match because you've been playing in the IPL" ❌ @markbutcher72 can't understand why Jofra Archer isn't part of England's squad for the first Test against New Zealand 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🤝 @KiaUK #ENGvNZ
