@hockeyind To respond the the comment that India and Pakistan are irrelevant - know your history! Both have some of the richest history in world hockey. Without that history we are nothing. Both countries have challenges and India are currently a better, more rounded team than Pak.

The cricket drama of India and Pakistan has successfully hit hockey. Congratulations and gear up for the toxicity to follow

Our men's top 4 is locked in with the minor premiership still up for grabs 👀 In the women's comp it's going to come down to the final round to see who takes the remaining Finals Series spot with Canberra Chill, Perth Thundersticks, and Tassie Tigers all still in the hunt!

@KinSmith72 @secretlyhardcor @H1League Thanks for kind words,great to be involved and looking forwards to the rest of the season.

@secretlyhardcor @simonbmason1 @H1League 🫡 appreciate that!! Been some amazing games this season, really enjoyable.

How good is it having @simonbmason1 and @KinSmith72 commentating @H1League? The level of knowledge, delivery and professionalism is outstanding. Thanks team!

@ozymandias72 @JasonBo25112348 @MemEnglandhokey I will take OK as a positive. But @JasonBo25112348 - what are you looking for in co-comms. I really appreciate Todd's knowledge and Femke, for her first tournament sounds knowledgeable in my ears. She only knows German players, so can't be much 'old mates'. Always happy to evolve

@JasonBo25112348 @MemEnglandhokey I thought today’s co-commentator was excellent

🚨 GOOD COMMENTSRY ALERT 🚨 Some actual insight into what teams are doing and why rather than a former GH international just saying England have potential and talking about how they know people in the squad Tune in to Channel 4 YouTube now for a truly rare experience

And it has been a pleasure for us (Mercian) to be a part of that journey! Enjoy the dancing.

@MemEnglandhokey Stop making sensible comments! Hit nail on head - part of a successful future is definitely multi club sites - like those seen in other countries. Get big facility use to generate ability to control pitches and block them going to football. But will need a different viewpoint.

Hockey committees would never allow this level of cooperation to happen. They’d be busy arguing over important things like whether it’s sausage chips and beans or jacket potato for post match teas.

Look fwd to joining Steve Rogers, @Wilson88Sarah with @simonbmason1 in the chair for Umpiring Unplugged Episode 2. Focusing on High Performance, resilience, success and failure. Time: Dec 18, 2024 19:00 London Join Zoom Meeting us05web.zoom.us/j/85925281329 Meeting ID: 859 2528 1329

@johnthejack Thank you

Have been enjoying the hockey, though a bit disappointing about the men's result this morning. @simonbmason1 is a really excellent commentator.

Quarter Finals: GB vs India 🇬🇧 v 🇮🇳 ⏰ Set your alarms for a 9:00am BST PB! 📺 Tune in on Discovery+ 🏑 Share all your messages of support on our social channels - Let's go GB!!! #Paris2024 #Hockey

@marc_cavebear @GBHockey But it wasn't though. Spooner tries to jab tackle, misses ball and his stick is under Sanfords foot as it lands. It is accidental but Sanford therefore slips over, way before the backstick. Spooner attempted tackle is legitimate, the foul is accidental, but still a foul so PC.

@GBHockey Umpire assisted draw. Backsstick before penalty corner

FULL TIME GB draw to South Africa 2-2 in an exciting game this evening! Goals scored by Phil Roper and a goal late in Q4 by Rupert Shipperley #Paris2024 #Hockey

@vicholous @GrantSchubert14 @Olympics @FIH_Hockey Yes, they had Hawkeye at some previous competitions. (Maybe EHL or Pro League, I forget). But it's very expensive to implement. Multiple cameras and software.

@GrantSchubert14 @Olympics @FIH_Hockey Is it possible to develop a stroke-tracking technology like hawk-eye or virtual -eye in hockey to assist the referees?

This was judged by the 3rd umpire to be going into the goals and awarded the stroke!! Thankfully for India, Argentina missed the stroke. Justice served! Your thoughts? @Olympics @FIH_Hockey

Huge good luck to our Hockey ID team who are competing in the Netherlands this weekend at the Dutch SO National Games. Come on GB!!!!

Fantastic game to commentate on. @irishhockey v Belgian Red Lions, first ever @FIH_Hockey Pro League points. First day of games from this mini tournament.

13 days to go…@LondonMarathon 2024. I shall again be dribbling a hockey ball raising funds and awareness for @alzheimersresearchuk Since I started extreme hockey dribbling in 2012, I’ve raised over £62,000 for charity, I’d love to get to £65,000. @englandhockey @GraysHockey

Excited about the #EHL #FINAL8 but don't know where to watch it? Don't worry - we got you covered! Read more here: ehlhockey.tv/broadcast/
