Remuneration for these old legendary boxers is reportedly structured with a base $ deal, and then compensated either by the round or on a streaming viewership numbers basis. The longer the match goes the more the likes of Tyson and Mayweather earn. It's a farce, it's not sport imo. Still, I had hoped to read that Tyson moered that TicToc numbskull.

Old Mark Clattenburg has been at it as well. Disclosing dishonesty right on the pitch in 2016. Mike Dean: Dean ignores any integrity, ignores the responsibility of getting it right. Mark Halsey: ^^^ Say what? The referees management body itself telling a ref to lie to players and clubs and the fans!? Sky, ITV and TNT Sports are already scrambling their commentators to cover for those officials several times a day for a few days now. I've been watching. MSM must protect their product. The referees said those things, their own words and actions condemn themselves. The refs are saying that they're dishonest. The evidence is undeniable. They're as rotten as it gets.

Yebo. Now the plonker done lost his mind by recording himself snorting white powder in a hotel room after a match and whatsapping it to a mate. Not pretty either, all topless and twitchy and sweaty. And now there are old pics of him and his PGMOL colleagues Atkinson and Marriner and Friend on a work trip in the Far East with them partying with arms draped around what may or may not be ladyboys. Wives will be joyous today. Thing is, can their judgement be trusted? Virgil van Dijk asked one at the final whistle "Have you been drinking?" What of the clear chance of them being pressured because of the hooker and drug habits? Also, why have the FA and PGMOL failed to act on the obvious conflict of interest of the same English refs being paid large wedges of wonga by Man City's owners in Abu Dhabi? They're just not fit for purpose, they cannot be trusted.

.

Any thoughts about ref David Coote's comments about Klopp? I've said similar comments about a couple of business rivals who made it personal and also played dirty. Some are saying he can never ref in England again, but I don't see why that should be the case. His mate stitched him up horribly in posting that video.

Looking forward to this one, but only if that ex-Bok coach's buttocks are no longer exposed and vigorously bouncing in the back seat of his car in that Spar parking.

This week in 1987, Mark Hughes played 90 minutes for Wales and later the same day was on the bench for Bayern (after flying to) Munich.

Most certainly agreed. Big Ange's awkward and defensive response, a couple of months ago, in saying that they're not paying more attention to set pieces was a major tell.

Horrific. I recall Nawal Al-Maghafi's 2019 doccie in which she secretly filmed imams selling 1 hour/1 day "pleasure marriages" involving kids as young as 9 in mosques in Baghdad. 8 out of the 10 Shia clerics filmed were selling children in "pleasure marriages" from inside mosques. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/oct/06/pleasure-marriages-iraq-baghdad-bbc-investigation-child-prostitution

Forest's owners have big plans for their clubs, as evidenced by them employing Arsenal's excellent sporting director Edu.

Bookies always know best. Team Harris was counting on crucial swing state North Carolina to win, and lost. Don't know why I thought that all those ex Republican governors publicly saying they're voting for Harris, and 40/44 of Trump's most senior appointees and generals saying they're voting for Harris, and EVERY former National Security Advisor warning against Trump would hold sway with the average US voter. Perhaps DJR knows better with that "funny lot the Americans" quip. Would hardly be the first time I was wrong. I think I can hear the long distant ex in-laws shouting that they'd like a word.

Excellent stuff bruh, how brilliant. Even 18 and 21 years ago I found it impossible to get tickets.

😂 I cannot disagree.

I'll stick my neck out and state it won't be as close as that, or as close as many analysts are predicting. 2 or 3 clear points between them. Without writing many pages of reasoning: 1. Many former Republican governors and reps have gone public about voting for Harris. Schwarzenegger, Liz Cheney, Kinzinger, Geoff Duncan, Flake, Gonzalez, Riggleman, Upton, Rath, Humphrey, Grisham, Cowles, Giles, Negroponte, William Webster, Troye. Oh, and even former vice president Dick Cheney. 2. And that's not even counting the 40 out of 44 of Trump's top cabinet appointees and advisors and generals all stating that he's unsuited and that they are voting for Harris. 3. Early voting shows that women have turned up in larger numbers than ever before, outnumbering men. Loads and loads of daughters and wives have pledged to "cancel" their Republican fathers' and husbands' votes by voting blue all down the ballot. 4. There's something else also going on. I wish I'd screenshotted all those long-time regular guy Republican old boys and grandfathers openly stating that they're voting Dem for the first time in their lives for the sake of their daughters' and grandchildren's healthcare in the post-Roe vs Wade era. The consequences have been devastating. The details and numbers are nuts, with kids as young as 10 being denied intervention with their rape pregnancies.

It's been fascinating. Hmmm... Who to choose? A 34 time convicted felon (only 91 more felony criminal charges to go) who is a Russian asset, or a long-time prosecutor who has taken down drug cartels and corrupt businessmen and politicians and who has a scrupulously clean record.

Thank you Spurs, respect from me and I imagine from many other footie fans. And Tottenham could have scored a couple more on the counter. Even if Pep Guardiola had a smile at the end to pretend like it didn't matter much, he hated losing. Thanks, Spurs. Pep OUT!

Saints a bit unlucky with that Archer crossbar shot, and a bit hard done by that Downes yellow card. Terrible decision for a great tackle on Silva. How dare he dispossess a Man City player!? I'd also throw my arms up in dissent after being penalised for such a great tackle.

An oldie, and still fun. We were kids watching these on our TV screens in the 1970's and 80's.

After some remarkable successes over the past year and a tough crash in April this guy, on his hard-to-miss ride, said it would be a win just to arrive in Como today. Romain Bardet DNS'd, no reason given. Edit: Also, looking forward to see if Maincheese might be up for it.

Well done, 360° vigilance wins the day.

The club's chief football and money clouts meet today. Ruud van Nistelrooy was mostly summoned to step in, I reckon.

Have to agree with one of the greatest football writers, while watching I too thought that was a nailed-on second yellow and a send off for Rashford. Consistency issues, this league's match officials are the worst in that regard.

Mrs Lill going great guns and looking like she's up for it. Go Candice!
