This is very fucking weird. We should be protecting kids from parenting like this.
Some tricky conversations this evening about the impending social media ban.
‘I don’t even know who this government guy is’
‘Keir Starmer’
‘Keir Starmer, what does that mean’

The more this goes on, the more I’m realising, at least maybe Sepp Blatter actually liked football.

This is the worst World Cup ever.

Called in the Tesco express on the way home from work. Yah Mo B There by the James Ingram and the mighty Micheal McDonald playing over the speakers, whilst an automated robot vacuumed the aisles. Superb stuff. The yacht rock future.

If the England fans don’t chant you can shove your quarters up your arse then the game is well and truly done.

Can it come soon please? It’s taken all my willpower to not put the heating on today.

Dr: Two grown men behaving in such an idiotic fashion!
Man: I'm terribly sorry, but this man is trying to provoke me
Girl: Yes, that's true. He is. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a man of your age!
Tony: I'm not a man of my age, I'm more a man of his age!

I have to say, the number it beach buggy wankers have dropped to nearly zero over the last year or so.
Though there’s now hundreds of illegal e-bikes and those daft scooters on the roads and pavements every day in their place.

So there’s 72 group games over a fortnight just to eliminate 16 teams (or as they used to call it qualifying games) to get it to the usual 32, water breaks, VAR, games 1000s of miles apart. It really doesn’t appeal much at all.

🇨🇦 VOICI LE STADE DE LA COUPE DU MONDE DE FOOTBALL DE TORONTO...
Je sens que cette coupe du monde va être la plus drôle de l'histoire de la FIFA... Après le gag du Qatar, on a pas fini de rigoler. Pourquoi pas en organiser une en Papouasie Nouvelle Guinée ? 😉

And football matches now having four quarters? Presumably being used for commercial breaks in the us? #engcrc

The Harry Lewis Take Me Home podcast is absolutely superb. Well worth a couple of hours of your time. Such a good insight into what goes on behind the scenes. Footballers are humans doing a job. And great to hear of his love for #bcafc

A shame that Power’s leaving. He’s been very influential on the team. Be tough to replace. Can’t blame him for wanting the same job nearer home. That said, a 90 minute commute to work is pretty standard for a lot of people. #bcafc

I’d maybe think about paying £10 to watch Saudi Arabia v Cape Verde. If I was free that evening. And it was walkable from home. And it finished early enough to get a couple of drinks after.

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.
Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...
The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.
That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.
Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.
Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.
