@bushontheradio Minder

What TV show intro theme do you hear in your head following THIS?

@Footballfights Should be sent down

Teenage linesman sucker-punched by the Manager during a game in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The Manager was banned from all forms of football for life.

@louismoult @crewealexfc All the best Louis

Thank you for the opportunity, didn’t work out the way I hoped personally Wishing the club nothing but success in the future, onwards and upwards, still plenty left in the tank 🔋⚽️👀

@GriftReport Disgraceful no wonder the country is in a mess

An amateur footballer filmed flattening an opponent with an elbow to the face in footage which went viral online has received a suspended prison sentence.

@RailwaymenThe @JackPowell4 You were always really kind with your time with the fans Jack. Thanks for some great memories

Unreal for his first 6 months. Horrible injury to have to come back from. My main takeaway though from Jack's time at the club was he was a superb person and a superb role model for the younger players. Go well with whatever is next @JackPowell4

@azzaCAFC @crewealexfc I thought the same unless they know Tracey has something else lined up.

@crewealexfc Should’ve given tracey a deal. Fixed him up for a year just to release. Harsh to off release him last year but if you weren’t planning to keep him the year after shouldn’t off given him the contract.

Crewe Alexandra can confirm the 2026 Retained List following the conclusion of the regular season. 🔗 tinyurl.com/yrrpj674 #CreweAlex

@SheldonMiller @pizzy_kay Quite right and apparently busby doesn’t live up to it

@pizzy_kay No Brian Clough, no Bob Paisley, no Bill Shankly? Absolute nonsense.

🚨🎙 PYRAMID OF THE GREATEST MANAGERS OF ALL TIME Thoughts...

@MarkOgden_ I still want the right decisions. If it takes longer that’s fine but when the laws aren’t constantly applied there’s the problem. Take city last week. Keane red card, Barry offside, silva penalty.

Football wanted VAR and now everyone complains when it gets a big decision right. You can’t have it both ways — and that applies to Mikel Arteta as much as anyone espn.com/soccer/story/_…

@ChinoUTD I normally don’t agree with Neville but he’s spot on

🎙️ Gary Neville on the officiating inconsistency in the league: “The moment that goal was disallowed, I immediately called someone I know inside PGMOL. I asked him: ‘So what exactly makes this a foul, but the one in United vs Arsenal earlier this season wasn’t?’ And honestly, the answer annoyed me even more. He told me: ‘This one is an obvious foul because the goalkeeper was deliberately impeded from reaching the ball.’ So immediately I asked: ‘Then why did the Arsenal goal against United stand?’ Because if we’re being serious, the situations are almost identical. In the United game, Altay Bayindir clearly tried to raise his arm to attack the ball and William Saliba literally grabs his arm and stops him from moving. How is that not interference? What kind of football is that? And what frustrated me the most today was how long they spent reviewing the other goal with VAR. So suddenly now we have time to analyse goalkeeper contact carefully? Interesting. Because when it happened to United, there wasn’t this same urgency. That’s where the frustration comes from. Fans can accept mistakes. What they cannot accept is inconsistency.”

@HACKETTREF Doesn’t trossard foul Pablo? @HACKETTREF no issue Raya was fouled. Surely it’s the first offence missed they go back to.

Joe are you suggesting that Match Officials should ignore an offence against the goalkeeper?

@avfcbreaking The organisation at top brass don’t care a jot about the fans so long as they can make a fortune. A disgrace

There was a time when a European final belonged to the supporters who dragged their club there. Not anymore. When Aston Villa were handed roughly 11,000 tickets for a Europa League final in a 70,000-plus stadium, the number itself told the story. UEFA can package the event however it likes — “festival of football”, “European showpiece”, “global celebration” — but the modern European final is no longer built around supporters. It is built around clients. The supporters fund the journey. The corporates inherit the destination. Villa fans will have spent thousands following the club across Europe. Flights, hotels, time off work, loyalty schemes built over years. Yet when the final arrives, huge sections of the stadium are reserved for sponsors, hospitality guests, executives, delegates and “neutral” allocations that often end up on resale sites within hours. And supporters are expected to accept it. UEFA’s defence is familiar. Sponsors fund competitions. Broadcasters need space. Hospitality drives revenue. All true. But football crossed a line when the event surrounding the final became more important than the supporters inside it. The optics are awful because fans can see it themselves. A finalist gets 11,000 tickets while corporate packages costing thousands remain available. Genuine supporters scramble through ballots with lottery-like odds, while neutral areas fill with tourists taking photos during the warm-up. And UEFA wonders why resentment grows. Supporters are constantly called “the lifeblood of the game” until ticket allocations are discussed. Then they become an inconvenience to work around premium inventory. Football did not become Europe’s dominant sport because sponsors created atmosphere. The noise, colour and emotion UEFA sells globally every season is generated by match-going supporters — the same people increasingly pushed aside at the biggest games. The “neutral fan” concept is perhaps the biggest fiction of all. In theory it promotes access. In reality it fuels resale markets, inflated prices and thousands travelling ticketless out of desperation. UEFA could change it tomorrow. Finalists could receive 70 per cent of the stadium combined. Corporate sections could shrink. Hospitality would still exist. But that would mean sacrificing revenue. And modern football has shown repeatedly which side wins that argument. #AVFC #scfreiburg
