Faffed around on the edge of the Leeds box - nobody wanting to shoot - then give the ball away cheaply to concede. Why are #ncfc players so terrified to shoot?

#Discovery+ is really third rate. Poor commentary, ill informed co commentator, biased one sided “half time panel” with no balance for both sides, and they choose “player of the match” after 75 minutes! So poor and third rate. #FACup #ncfc

This commentators obsession with saying “VAR are looking at it” is ridiculous. VAR look at everything in the box. He doesn’t need to announce everything. #ncfc #facup

They never complained about child sex images being used, they never said anything about nazi ideology being promoted. They're happy to take money from their content on there, but this is where they're drawing the line 👀🤔. Only when they're the victim is it a problem? Right, got it...

That’s terrible from the ref. Ahmed wins the 50:50 header and gets a yellow card. That makes no sense. #ncfc #FACup

Who is this idiot co-commentating on the #ncfc game? Claiming Norwich’s stable team was “probably enforced” due to injuries? Everyone on the bench bar one has started for Norwich at some point this season. Perhaps #Discovery+ ought to have had someone with Norwich links as part of lineup?

Sorry #Paralympics #WinterParalympics- Include #Russia and I don’t watch it. You want to build interest in your event, don’t include countries that mame, injure and kill Ukrainian athletes.

I see #Treinen continues to lack control. He’s a liability. #Dodgers

He’s a liability. As we quickly summarise in here in Britain “Get rid!”

But does the BBC really be similar coverage to non newspaper websites that have a large online audience?

Nobody buys newspapers. Yet the BBC platform journalists from newspapers barely selling 50,000 copies as if they are relevant.

#VAR used in #FACup as a tool to help Premier League teams. That decision to not red card the Sunderland goalkeeper is really clear. He attempted a “studs up” challenge - only just missing the player with serious intent, yet it was only checked for DOGSO, NOT for the studs up.

I’ve no idea what you’re on about. England’s Lionesses won 2-0 . We did lose at baseball to Mexico, but Mexico were favourites.

Me : Is there football on?
Son: Yes - Chelsea
Me: I hope they lose.
Son: They’re playing Wrexham
Me: Oh - I hope Chelsea win!

I can’t stand the media narrative around Wrexham. “A story about a team getting from non-league to the Championship.”
No reference to the millions they’ve spent #cfc #FACup

The BBC commentator eulogising about a “youth team player stepping up to the first team” ignoring that Liverpool did not develop him - they took him off Chelsea. Hardly a story of a lad working his way through from being a school kid in Liverpool through to first team. Usual BBC bias. #cfc #FACup

Imagine if Biden didn’t know where his father was born and confused his father with grandfather. This bozo does it and MAGA giggles

The idea reported, that America has the majority of its forces there is absolutely wrong.

There are no US planes at Akrotiri. If you believe Iran you’ll believe they didn’t murder 30,000 protesters since January. I’m no apologist for America, but I’m aware both sides tell lies.

I’m not sure the Irish Labour Party, who you @‘ed at, will take any notice.

Two things to note. Everton FC don’t tolerate it and act quickly against fans when it is reported, as do Merseyside Police. I’ve been to enough games across the country and seen stewards turn a blind eye to such abuse. I’m pleased Everton don’t.

The whole world is outraged and whatever little reputation the US still had is gone.

Very unprofessional from Norwich. Unwilling to shoot, cross or make meaningful forward passes. Well done to your fans though.

He’s given them so many soft free kicks.

They’ve had the best two chances this half.

Just watch how it’s constant sideways and backwards. Best two chances this half have been for #SWFC. One the keeper got to then their missed clear header just now. #ncfc wingers terrified to cross.
