As the London Marathon Ballot opens for another year, the debate continues on how we can improve the entry system for the World’s Most Popular Race 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ After a record 1.13 million entered for 2026, we’re now looking at a staggering 1:20 chance of getting in the London Marathon through the ballot 🤯 How can we make this more accessible? This feels like an impossible task given the London Marathon should remain inclusive for all abilities and causes 🤔 Perhaps a max number of repeat entries? For instance, you can only run the race a maximum X times to give everyone a fair chance of competing. This seems obvious but very difficult to police. Also, charities often rely on recognisable ambassadors for promotion. This would prove unpopular 👎 Minimum number of previous Marathons completed: This would truly make London the pinnacle of Marathon running and instantly cut the number of entries by thousands. Unfortunately, London no doubt offers the most coverage for charities so it’s obviously the most desirable to run for individuals 👀 Perhaps the most likely - splitting the event over 2 days: 1 day for Charity and 1 day for Competition? This would of course double the capacity and therefore double the chances of getting in 🙌 However, surely the vast majority of people would fit into both days. Someone finishing in 5 hours is no less competitive than someone finishing in under 3 hours. How could you allocate someone to either day? 🧐 Do we really need to increase the capacity? Can we just leave it as it is and continue to see entries increase and leave it to the randomness of the ballot? 💭 All these questions and many more to be decided for the future of the Marathon 👀

Maybe the stupidest thing any American has done this week is getting Tommy Fleetwood's caddie anywhere near a heated confrontation. The guy is like 6'6", a Scouse and an absolute unit. And also, it must be said, a very lovely guy.

@stevesmith_hj @efc_fanservices It’s ridiculous ! There HAS to be a better, more efficient way of purchasing cup tickets for children / OAPs who don’t have their own fan accounts. The majority of us buying the tickets are all of working age so have more pressing issues to be dealing with too 😂🤷‍♀️!!!!

Can you please let me know how to purchase Mansfield tickets for children (ST holders?) - they don’t have fan accounts. Phone being cut off - queue hours deep at the Stadium. Seems impossible @efc_fanservices

Tarkowski. As a defender he has every right to try to use legal means (torso) to stop the ball. The fact he leant into the ball is irrelevant unless he deliberately used his arm to stop the ball. He is absolutely allowed to use torso and unfortunately humans can't yet detach an arm. Secondly, he pulls his arm away ( in a split second, absolutely aware his left arm would be a problem if the ball caught it, so he's being honest, which should be taken into account) to try and get as much body on the ball as possible. These two points are facts. The problem then becomes poor interpretation of law( dogmatic, rigid, inflexible), rather than common sense which pieces all of the puzzle together rather allowing a referee to make a rational, informative decision. The referee should have taken to the screen and said.. " Tarkowski, by attempting to move his left arm beside or behind his body showed that he did not attempt to deliberately handle the ball, indeed his unnatural arm position clearly showed the opposite. No penalty.." Don't care who you support, it's not illegal to lean to stop a ball and it's not illegal to have an arm. A referee should see the whole picture not the bit that supports an argument.

The final day at Goodison is here. Devastated to not have dad next to me but he’ll be with me in spirit, I know. So many memories, so many useless performances, but what a place of belonging & community - pretty indescribable. Thinking of you today, Dad. You should be there💙💙

@melharvey72 Yep! I know so many women who won’t run alone, and definitely not in the dark! I won’t let it stop me, but like you say, it’s not fair how it stops others!

@oconnorlucy Exactly! It’s the sexism that gets to me. I’m a strong person and they don’t scare me but it might put other women off running alone and that makes me angry.
