Romaine Mundle - well said Ant, Andrew and Gav 🤙

It's not surprising if right wing controls majority of media, including televisio, and most of American media appears to sane wash his utterances?

Lovely piece James #SAFC

#SAFC Reinildo dressed for training in Southern Spain again, he's some guy isn't he!

screenshot of a quote from Yann Kervella "Régis built the Lorient training centre from A to Z during ten years. He’s a builder and a performance accompanist. He planned with great coherence the principles of play which were built up over ten seasons. His success is that everyone feels important and involved in his project. He encouraged the players to write a shared history with him and the club, which helped develop a strong sense of belonging among them.”

More on Régis Le Bris from 2022 ⬇️

Just want to add to the comment that Regis leads and doesn't grumble. He is also very positive about AFCON call-ups when asked, we should all celebrate that our players are being picked for their country #SAFC #RokerReport

Christina is worth following if not done already #SAFC

Another good read from Charlotte. Detailed and full of insights for me who doesn't know much about the players. Particularly liked the quote about producing footballers who can shape games #SAFC

Good post and very noticeable that Regis Le Bris is very positive about the players being called up despite the (leading?) questions from the media

Have we the best two fullbacks in the league? #onthewhistle

With much debate about journalists favouring Twitter over Bluesky, full respect to Phil Smith at the Sunderland Echo. He’s really good at using Bluesky, and for obvious reasons, he’s a great source of reliable news about #SAFC #Sunlun

I would hope so Craig, there is development of local female talent, but the article is a little unbalanced. A couple of mentions of the Women's team and the main article about the men. I agree it's great they are mixing #SAFC

Screenshot of BBC news saying police arrest 474 people at Palestine Action ban protest.

What an utter absurdity our Home Secretary has created -

Destroying British free speech, right to protest and with it undermining democracy.

It is not for the government to terrorise the public for political opinions they don’t want to hear.

Thanks!
