Fair play to Ipswich. Feeling pretty jealous in all honesty. 😂 Cracking support too. Enjoy the top flight lads. #PUSB
He’s absolutely right that Man Utd are entertaining. Just not for the reasons he thinks they are 😂

Five of the candidates standing to be West Midlands Mayor were given 20 seconds to make their pitch to voters at the BBC's A Mayor for the West Midlands debate. They all pretty much kept to time! Candidates: bbc.in/3Ubq2BD Watch on BBC iPlayer: bbc.in/4b8Kt99

Bless Hull’s players having to celebrate in front of our fans when they scored because they didn’t have any fans of their own 🥹 So close to play-offs and no supporters. A real tragedy. #PUSB
Absolutely dead on their feet. No surprise really. Can’t fault the effort. How Josh Eccles keeps going I’ll never know. I want whatever that man has for breakfast. #PUSB
Offside 🙃 #PUSB
In their last 32 League Appearances, Coventry City’s 2nd choice Goalkeeper, Ben Wilson has more goals (1) than Manchester United’s Winger, Antony (0). 😬

155 Followers 173 Following classic example of you can take the boy out of Coventry,but you can't take the Coventry out of the boyPlenty of new heroes at the sky blues, but important to remember the amazing 5 years this lad and several others have had in getting us to where we are now. Two home games left where we may see some of these heroes for the last time. Let’s give them a special send off #PUSB
Now that’s a beautiful slice of Britain and what a bloody delivery 😊
🟢🇸🇪 Victor Gyokeres has scored 40 goals this season for Sporting, in addition to 14 assists. Fantastic season for Gyokeres to lead Sporting to the potential Portuguese title.
@TheSimonGilbert Funny how they've never released the audio from Torps goal. I agree it's a tad chaotic. Need a clear hierarchy and a better structure of analysis.
@TheSimonGilbert I think the comment about the placement of the lines is particularly apt. Surely after the recent furore for #PUSB and #NFFC, @FA need to look at making changes to how it’s applied next season.
@Jojosdojo @TheSimonGilbert I agree. And this video demonstrates the need for that tolerance on offside as you see them flick through the only available video frames, let alone the line drawing.
@TheSimonGilbert It's utter nonsense Simon. The soul & spirit of the game is under attack from this ridiculous system. Goal line technology is fine, where the lines are fixed, but all this has done is destroy the authority of the on the pitch officials.
@TheSimonGilbert The offside definitely had the same vibes as when I do DIY Very much "Ah fuck it, that'll do". 🤣🤣
Here's some golden light over Lady Godiva to brighten up your Saturday morning @BBCCWR @Covcultureshow @visit_coventry @filmwarks @bbcweather @bbcmtd
@TheSimonGilbert Worrying bit for me was how many times Michael Oliver told them to show him full speed and they just blatantly didn’t 😰
Last shift complete at BBC Westminster and last piece filed for the @BBCRadio4 morning bulletins. It’s been a privilege to work here. As of Monday I’ll be @bbcemt‘s political editor. My DMs are open for any tips/stories about the mayoral and PCC campaigns.
@TheSimonGilbert Way to much ‘how’s that for you?’ /‘Yup, fine’. All well meaning, but ultimately arbitrary positions chosen. At least in terms of offside it’s clear to me we need at least 6 inches of advantage to the attacker before it can be considered ‘clear and obvious’.
@TheSimonGilbert Offsides that are that close just need to go with the on field decision. The frame you pause at isn't ideal as VAR use stock motion video and the lines drawn, whilst close, also mean there's going to be human error involved.
@LCFC I predict a points deduction in 24/25 - enjoy your relegation lads 🎶
@mark_robinson_ Give up mate, you embarrassed yourselves at wembley don’t do it on here,
@mark_robinson_ This is great to see, still rattled. You've reached a final against your rivals and still have to monitor a championship team 21 places below you just because they made you look a bit silly. This is the twitter version of Anthony cupping his ears 😂
@mark_robinson_ Must hurt when your city is blue and the top 6 fans just laugh at you, I get it. You’re basically competing with Bournemouth and Fulham, I get it, you feel the need to lash out. It probably makes you feel like you used to, a bit of a big dog. We forgive you.
@TheSimonGilbert @Anthony_Hornsby The ref was absolutely horrific, for both team
