I’m old enough to remember when Sarina Wiegman did this in 2022 and 2023.

@SiAngear @SarahCRobinson I shall see you at Hutton Moor in about nine hours then! Being a journalist twice a decade is enough these days.

@SarahCRobinson Agreed. Although I'm rolling back the years and stringing at the Weston and North Somerset counts tonight. Intrigued to see how it all turns out.

A fantastic day’s cricket at @SomersetCCC. Impossible to pick a player of the match as a great team performance against a very good Essex side who are likely to be fighting for title in September ☀️🏏

As a Newcastle fan I recognise this is probably good for us. But it’s an awful decision for English football. Give me a FA Cup replay under the lights with a David v Goliath story over any European tie. To dress it up as good for the competition and smaller clubs is a joke.

The FA and The @premierleague have reached an agreement to strengthen the #EmiratesFACup format and increase support for grassroots football. Swipe for details ➡️

@SammyG1965 I think the phrase ‘exaggerated dive’ highlights the point I was trying to make. If you need to use the foot that was nicked to push off to make an ‘exaggerated dive’ I’d argue you aren’t fouled. But we probably have to agree to disagree!

@TomWrightNS He did try to keep his balance and then exaggerated the fall when he couldn’t but that doesn’t change the fact that the keeper made no attempt to play the ball and fouled him.

@SammyG1965 But Jota throws himself to the ground a 2-3 strides later when he sees how far wide he is. He isn’t knocked off balance by the touch. By VAR not suggesting ref checks it, because of the tiniest flick, every player is encouraged to dive after slight contact. Right team won though

@TomWrightNS Keeper got nowhere near the ball and tapped Jota’s ankle, clear penalty.

@SheridanRobins Ignore him. There are lots of top female commentators, pundits and summarisers (incl you!) Suspect he’s bitter at not getting a few media apps when out of work. On flip side, Ian Wright is a great pundit for women’s football. Yet people never call for him to focus on men’s game.

@GWRHelp please pass on thanks to staff working at Taunton tonight to help get passengers home. Terribly difficult circumstances but they were kind and as informative as they could be to keep us passengers updated.

Still @englandcricket were very good for 31 overs and enjoyable to spend a few hours watching it with my Dad. Just wish we could have seen more. Right decision to abandon it rather than make fans wait for hours unnecessarily.

❌ TAA should’ve got sent off (but was fouled before 1st yellow) ✅ Van Dijk red card ❌ Should never have subbed Tonali /Gordon (MOM for first 70min) Bad result for #NUFC. Looked better 11v11 than 11v10. Not sure either makes top 4. Liverpool win papers over weaknesses #NEWLIV
