@FTBLsection Just stop the clock 🤷🏼♂️ for example during substitutions - take all the time you want then.

Former English referee Mark Clattenburg has proposed a change to eliminate player time wasting:
"Football is an entertainment sport, so we need as much playing time as possible. The first time I refereed in the Champions League, only 40 minutes of the 90 were actually played.
The two things I want to happen are that the referee has the power, instead of showing a yellow card to a player wasting time, to reverse the decision. If the player is instructed to take a throw-in and delays it, the throw should immediately go to the opposing team from that spot.
Often, players go to the sideline, bounce the ball, move it forward a long distance, wait for the referee to tell them to return to the original position, wait a little longer, are booked, and the referee writes down the sanction. Then, after about 10 more seconds, they take the throw-in. The player wins. They steal a minute doing that. Instead, if we had the option to reverse the sanction, without booking them, this wouldn’t happen.
The other idea is the same but for goal kicks and corner kicks. If the attacker delays on purpose, the sanction is reversed, and they lose the corner, which becomes a goal kick. If the goalkeeper does the same, they go from having defensive control to conceding a corner."

Today seems like the perfect moment to ask: what’s your favourite place in the Dales? Lots of people love this classic view down Swaledale… but where captures your heart? 💚

@EnglandRugby Top top man. A smile and a lovely word for everyone. Spent many an evening enjoying a pint with him in the local in Ripon. RIP and condolences to Gail and his family x

@TheUCS473 One of the best pubs in Yorkshire! If not the UK 👍 Enjoy 🍻🍻

On waterfall Wednesday we're sharing this view of West Burton Falls, also known as Cauldron Falls. Situated on Walden Beck, the falls consist of an upper 20-ft drop into a swirling plunge pool.

@thinkdefence It’s civil servants that buy kit for the army (DE&S). Army provide URDs and SRDs via requirements managers. Civil servants need to be held accountable.

Today, November 13th 1989, I joined the @BritishArmy as a @Official_REME Recovery Mechanic. I wasn’t the sharpest tool in the box, but after 5 tours and many exercises, I grew up to be a half decent bloke.
36yrs later, I’m still in the mob, but now a plastic WAFU with the @RoyalNavy and still going strong. When I say I love my flag, my dedication and loyalty too it and all who I serve with is an absolute honour. Long may it continue…….! 💂🏻♀️👋🏻🇬🇧🍻#Proud.

Nigel Farage repeatedly misled the public by claiming he bought a house in his constituency.
Today he admitted it wasn’t true.
Given he's had a lot to say on tax this week, it's time he put the full facts on the table over this housing arrangement.
It reeks of double standards and hypocrisy.

Left: Rylan, "If I arrive on a boat in Calais, I get taken to a four star hotel"
Right: Newsnight show what one of these four star hotels looks like once it has been adapted to house four asylum seekers in a single room with two bunkbeds and a tacky divider
Dear @Rylan some of your concern is perfectly normal and valid, and with 70,000 spaces in asylum accommodation oversubscribed because the Conservatives cut funding to assessing asylum seeker claims resulting in setting up hotels to house asylum seekers, awarding some contracts well over £1 billion to hotel owners, some of who have also been donors to the Conservative party, the whole thing stinks
But what's worse is that you've repeated some mistruths and false statements about asylum seekers in your rant, and while I don't blame you for having expressed those views as Keir-island-of-strangers-Starmer, instead of challenging and correcting these falsehoods, has decided to become a pound shop Reform-like populist with his divisive rhetoric, who could blame you for being so misinformed?
I encourage you to seek better information, better explanations, and perhaps if it really bothers you, to use your huge reach and platform to petition our government to do better eg ending homelessness
Remember how at the start of covid we managed to end homelessness within a few days? Not only is it possible but it's simply a question of government policy (in fairness to Labour they are doing quite a lot, just not enough and not at the speed they could be doing it)
But, and I say this politely. Reform UK are not your friends. By wanting to take us out of the European Convention of Human Rights and repeal the Human Rights Act, they're taking away the very institutions that helped shape gay rights in our country and allowed you not only to flourish, but simply have the right to live your life however you wish - the moment those protections and rights are lost, society suffers
There's nothing worse than getting angry and upset at incorrect things e.g. the four star hotel trope often levied by the far right
Instead, become better informed, so you can get angry and upset at the actual things that are wrong with the system, and help campaign to change them
