@BigRosco91 4% of land in Britain is public land. It's about 25% in Europe and the USA, 30% in South America and around 75% in Asia. Britain has one of the world's worst records for public land access.

Clocks gone forward overnight in the UK. I wish that changing the clocks would vanish for good. Zero point! Zero!

@KP24 It's an extra hour of usable daylight. No one is benefiting from a 0330 sunrise in Scotland come July.

@pieandbov You could probably automate round-ups with a Claude code skill that creates an X draft for you to check before posting.

TLDR; Expect less shite from me Decided it's now time to start winding down the amount of time I spend on here. Twitter used to be a great laugh, but it's an absolute shambles now, full of fucking bots & spam, a lot of the good guys have already gone, and any engagement you do get tends to be almost universally toxic. It's just shite to be honest. I can't be arsed with it any more. I'm an old fucker and this feels like a colossal waste of my time and energy these days. I've better things to be doing. Hard to give it up completely, so I won't be doing that just yet, but I'm not gonna bother with the really time consuming drivel any more. That starts with the midweek micro previews and the Sunday morning round up - they take fucking ages and let's be honest - nobody really cares whether they're posted or not - so I'm sacking those off immediately. Can't bin the whole account in the middle of the best title race for a million years and ahead of the first Scotland appearance at a World Cup in two million years but I'll give that some more thought in the Summer. Get it up you all.

Absolute mess by @ScotlandNT @ScottishFA buying tickets. Try to buy tickets, someone already got them. My page will not allow me to remove them, won't refresh, won't allow me to proceed with them sitting there. Outcome? Kicked out after 15 minutes and back to start of the queue

For any Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 fans heading to Boston this summer. If you can answer these below, have meetings coming up with local officials & looking to help make transport as smooth as possible. - Where is your base in the area? - Would you use public transport for your whole stay? 🙏

@ZohranKMamdani Should be 15% for locals and 15% for fans of competing teams..the ones that have travelled home and away to WC qualifiers over the last 2 years.

A $60 "supporter ticket" for 1.6% of seats isn't enough. Not when FIFA just set the highest ticket prices in World Cup history. Thousands spoke up demanding that this be a tournament that New Yorkers can afford. Here's what we actually need: end dynamic pricing, cap resale prices, and set aside 15% of tickets for local fans at a discount. The beautiful game must be for everyone.

@DisappointedNo1 @AlexiLalas I read that if an England fan missed one game in last 4 years, he/she would probably miss out on cheaper tickets. Crazy! Those fans should rightly be rewarded but the number of available affordable tickets is shocking.

@AlexiLalas Seems weird to make the cheapest tickets available only to fans who are wealthy enough to afford trips to Latvia, Serbia and Andorra during qualifying.

That's fine. Federations will determine whatever purity tests they want to use to define "loyal fans" who deserve the limited lower priced World Cup tix. But it's just a different exclusive and privileged group benefitting. New fans and/or young fans, need not apply.
Alan@alanhood77

@AlexiLalas There are well established point systems based on who attends home and away games for many European nations.

@AlexiLalas Just stop for over 5 years @ussoccer has been sending mailers telling us who’s “bought” the privilege to get this - pay to be “US Soccer Insider” $10k a year for highest “Presidents Circle” status and most advantages My 40 years of going to NT games means less than $$$ for them

No idea how Federations will determine the "loyal fans who are closely connected to their national teams" who will qualify for the limited lower priced tix. Sounds like each Federation will decide the criteria they'll use. But it enables FIFA can defer to Federations.

@AlexiLalas @ussoccer How does this even get measured?
