The football law geek in me would love it (just love it) if Fleetwood win this on penalties in sudden death cos Arsenal can only take 10 penalty kicks v Fleetwood’s 11.

Dear Lawyers of Twitter - back in the olden days when I went to provincial nightclubs with a license till 2am, we’d always say they should open an extra hour on the night the clocks went back (3am BST - 2am GMT). But I’m not sure they ever did. What’s the law say? Many thanks.
Absolutely loving the shear desperation of the Sky Commentators. But but but….this wasn’t supposed to happen!

Realise I’m late to this, but how on earth does Luke Shaw not also get a red card for running 30 yards and pushing the lad over? #MOTD
#TheCelebrityTraitors - Someone at the BBC giving out details of exactly what Claudia is wearing & where to buy it would be the very definition of Public Service.
Incidentally it’s the black jacket she’s wearing at the boat challenge I’m after.
Paging @classicjacko - How many likes on the Anon Opinion post gets us a TV Theme Tune Prom ? 😀
Hi @BeeNetwork - a Piccadilly service from Heaton Park which was showing on your station display board as arriving in 11 minutes just disappeared (seconds after I bought our tickets). If I had known it wasn’t happening I’d have caught a bus instead.
I’ve not listened to the Grand Designs Podcast yet - but please tell me it’s just Kevin McCloud reading out the comments to this tweet.
Since we still get mistakes with VAR - can we just scrap it and go back to when we had officials on the field making mistakes & get our game back?
I’m so glad we have VAR now. It’s totally stopped all the controversy in games…

Never in my days is that a red card
Phil Foden has been sent off on a straight red card
Bruno Fernandez provoked him damn 😭

Ref “Kick out into the body of Bruno”
Var “Shall we look at the replay from behind the goal & check that’s right? - Nar just pass the wotsits…”

#MUNMCI – 23’
The referee’s call of red card to Foden for violent conduct was checked and confirmed by VAR.
REF: “Red card Phil Foden – kick out into the body of Bruno”.
VAR: “That looks like a clear red card to me. Looks to be a secondary movement. Confirming the red card for Manchester City No.47”.
VAR said BOTH Foden’s feet kicked Fernandez in the stomach. Except the angle from behind the goal shows his feet went past Bruno’s stomach & his right foot didn’t touch him at all. Why didn’t VAR check ALL camera angles @PGMOL_FA #MUNMCI
Why are Arsenal wearing their 3rd kit? Their blue away kit would be a far better contrast with Sunderland’s home colours. #SUNARS
Hi @AvantiWestCoast - for the second month running you have approved my Delay Repay claim but not for the correct amount. Each time you state the train arrived earlier than it actually did, so pay less compensation than owed. I have to appeal (& win). Is this a deliberate tactic?
Pogacar is crazy. To put so much effort and risk into that TT for such low reward. He must drive his coaches mad 🤣. #LaVuelta
Hi @AvantiWestCoast - if you are going to offer seat reservations, shouldn’t the above seat signs display these as soon as passengers board? Coach D on the 11:53 delayed dept from LDN to MAN didn’t, instead showed all seats as available & caused no end of rows!
Hi @Se_Railway - my Delay Repay claim (after you cancelled a service last night due to no working toilet on board) has been declined due to *checks notes* - my little girl not submitting her own claim. Are you anticipating primary school kids having their own email & bank account
