@93_price @ITV @FootballCliches I think one may have suggested pushing the player back off the field-? ( with a serious ankle injury and later stretchered off In obvious discomfort) terrible content!

Just switched on the #ENGURG at probably two of the worst minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever heard. Dixon suggesting the ref kick a player, Matterface stretching out a dated X Factor analogy and a Soccer Aid in two months advert. Make it stop @ITV @FootballCliches

Disappointed for Mark English- 4th 1.46.70 A Race that got away from him-expended a huge amount of of energy with 300m to go to move from 5th to 1st A lot of contact with Patterson 🇬🇧 (didn’t help) faded over last 100mts - Gutted for him!

Semi Final- Achieved for for Mark English- Controlled the race from the start …. Made decisive move with 300m to go- using all of that experience ( looking at screen/ staying out of trouble) Easing across the line to win his heat in 1.46.42

Tottenham Hotspur’s owners will learn that a glossy entertainment hub built for profit margins over a quarter of a century to the detriment of the Football Club is going to collapse like a house of cards. One can only feel apathy until someone new buys the store. At a discount.

1.59.07 for Femke Bol-Steep learning curve, she was left in no man’s land on the really important 3rd lap….. Maybe didn’t have the belief or the speed endurance to commit (that’s what’s needed in the 800m) No doubt next outing over 8 she’ll move into 1.58/57 territory.

💥 National indoor record 💥in Luxembourg! Mark English breaks his own record 🇮🇪 with an amazing 1.44.65 taking exactly 1/2 second off his previous best from Feb 2021-outstanding although the signs were there after his solo brilliant run on Weds evening! He’s like a fine wine!
