@AllThingSkyBlue There were several scouts there tonight looking at Darnell Furlong a full back who can certainly tackle well without alarming the referee or drawing his attention, yes the scouts from Harlequins, Exeter Chiefs and Leicester Tigers were very impressed with his performance.

What’s your 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 summary of tonight’s game? 👇 #PUSB

#goldenwhistles I am interested on comments about cost. Are we referring to operating cost, capital cost of construction or cost of infrastructure maintenance? UK construction cost is between 25 and 35% higher than comparable countries with similar timetable needs,

Excellent result for Coventry City at Swansea City but a special mention of the performance of referee Sam Allison and his assistants Messrs Dallison and Singh Gill who ensured the game flowed with the minimum of disruption

Not just in the Coventry Motor Museum but also at the entrance to the British Ambassador’s residence in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

@richard_overson @motion8cars Very nice!

@LewisJWarner Lynda, may we discuss this? I had severe doubts about Andy Street’s programme. You may remember I was asked in 2023 to review the programme by Transpirt for the Midlands, which subsequently withdrew the invitation on Mr.Street’s insistence. Michael

NEW: Richard Parker tells me his independent review of transport promises will make judgement on whether Andy Street lied about transport projects and the funding behind them. Mr Street insists he left billions behind for transport. Read: itv.com/news/central/2…

@charlie_suth @theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 They didn’t complain because a goal had been given. No matter now a real football club has been “beaten” by one the cheap nasty branded franchised clubs, which make up the so called “top” of the Pfemier League.

@mbpcworldwide @theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 Did you see any Coventry players complain about the offside? No, because it was offside.

I agree with this. #VAR destroyed the #FACupsemifinal. There was no “clear and obvious error” by the officials on the pitch and the 4-3 goal by heroic @Coventry_City should have stood. Instead of being remembered as one of the greatest FA Cup matches in history, it's yet another VAR washout. The offside rule was brought in to stop goalhanging, not to disallow a run by a striker whose big toe is further forward than the last defender. Absolutely gutting for everyone watching.

@charlie_suth @theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 Did you see any United players complain? you! No because it was a penalty.

@mbpcworldwide @theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 You’re having one Mick. ‘Onfield decision’ doesn’t apply to offside. You’re offside or you’re not. Corrupt VAR??? Coventry got a very dubious penalty in the 92nd minute.

@KernowChris @theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 VAR is killing the game, the sooner it goes the better. It wasn’t offside and Man Utd know it.

@theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 .... and wanting incorrect predudicial verdicts to override the verified actuality. It was OFFSIDE. More and micromanaged VAR to avoid expensive errors for clubs and punters is the way forward, with automation too.

@Chris_Elliot84 @theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 It wasn’t offside see the footage. If anyone wants to have a bitch about Man Utd players, let’s start with the goalkeeper who should have been booked for time wasting long before he was booked. He should have been on the field and United should have been made to play with 20 men.

@theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 It's a black and white rule, either a player is onside or they're offside. The Coventry player was offside, end of story. Until the rule changes to allow for a small margin of error then it's tough. People wouldn't be making this fuss if it was a United player caught offside

@charlie_suth @theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 It wasn’t- look at video posts online. Game spoiled by a gutless referee who didn’t stand by his on field decision and a morally corrupt VAR official. Life doesn’t operate with 20/20 hindsight

@theJeremyVine @Coventry_City @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards @jjenas8 Clear and obvious error doesn’t apply to offside Jezza. It’s fine if you disagree with the rules but the rules are that it was offside.

@AllThingSkyBlue We appear to have a death wish! When I see our quality if I only we had the passion of the kick & rush outfit at Ipswich,

What’s Your 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 Summary Of Today’s Game? 😞 #PUSB

@AllThingSkyBlue Missed chances, not helped by an appalling referee, Gavin Ward, usual incompetent performance allowing Norwich to kick lumps out of Tats in the first 20 minutes, without awarding fouls, then pulling us back to the touch line for our free kick, when we were 2 on 1 with the keeper.

What’s Your 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 Summary Of Today’s Game? 😕 #PUSB

@bazzabannan25 Well spoken - thank you!

💙💙💙

@TnsCov Typical of the incidents in a good game, very nestlu spoiled by an incompetent referee

Can we discuss how that’s not a high boot and a yellow card btw Matty Godden is jumping ffs and keepers foot is up above his head #PUSB

@FlywheelMedia1 At £3.9 bn it is incredibly overpriced, beset by unnecessary procurement methods and a wasteful form of contract.

It's good news because it needs doing, but £3.9bn to upgrade EIGHT MILES of railway makes #HS2 look like a bargain. Rebuilding while the shop is open is very expensive and guarantees years of disruption to passengers.

@Anthony_Hornsby Beaten by a very ordinary team, to which we paid far too much respect, if we have converted the penalty we could well have won in the second half

I know the 10min highlights aren’t an exact reflection of yesterday’s game, but they suggest that actually we were not that bad other than the defending for the two goals conceded. Bidwell chance, Wright offside goal, penalty, goal at the death. All positive. #pusb

@AllThingSkyBlue I thought he had a decent game, given his lack of service and support from midfield and the wing backs in the first half. He is improving week by week and was, in my opinion, unlucky to be substituted

Rate Haji Wright’s Performance Today Out Of 🔟 #PUSB

@SRichardBowker I will provide them to you later today,

@mbpcworldwide Can you point me in the direction of where you have published the workings supporting those figures (the £182.1bn). Apologies if you’ve already done that previously and I missed it, but it would be useful to see.

The most recent 6 monthly report to Parliament on HS2 by @HuwMerriman makes fascinating reading (see end of tweet for link). It’s calm and measured with no ‘alarm’, ‘spiralling’ or ‘out of control’ rhetoric. It notes that inflation is causing concerns (but doesn’t go mad (1/4)
