So, in the end, they fell without a fight.
Not one true effort, not one shot in sight.
Just noise and fury, chest-beating and show,
Yet nowhere left for football’s craft to go.
They chased the referee more than the ball,
Mistook dark arts for greatness after all.
For every tumble, every feigned despair,
The game itself was left a little poorer there.
And when the whistle drew the curtain closed,
There was no glory in the path they chose.
For medals tarnish, scorelines fade away,
But character is measured every day.
So home they go, defeated in the end -
Without the pride that should a champion attend.
For victory borrowed through deception’s guise
Wins trophies, perhaps… but never wins the wise.
Tonight the football world breathes easier still.
Not out of malice, but because, at last,
The spirit of the game outlived the spectacle.

Quite a cloudy start this morning across the country, but with brighter skies already breaking through. Many thanks to our early bird #BBCWeatherWathers who have been sending in pictures - do keep them coming. Joy

"Words just seem hollow and inadequate in such circumstances and all we can try and do is provide some crumb of comfort by trying to exhibit the warmth and respect in which John and his family are held."
We are all thinking of you, John ❤️

At the risk of my feed becoming an ode to the guy who really taught me how to be a Winchman; it’s good to see the old git getting some well deserved recognition. @duncan_tripp

Many of us are enjoying Scotland's beautiful scenery at this time of year and the roads are busy.
To overtake safely, look well ahead & beyond the vehicle in front, consider your position & avoid overtaking at junctions and lay-bys.

EXCLUSIVE: The doctor who helped catch Britain’s worst baby killer.
Dr Ravi Jayaram spent two years pleading with hospital managers to investigate Lucy Letby.
Instead, they made him apologise and attend mediation with her.

My brother @johnofish is my hero - an outstanding paramedic and a brilliant person.
He’s always wanted to do something to support @ScotAirAmb and cycling from Scone to London will give him/ us the chance to do that.
Any retweets and support appreciated

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.
Please take just two seconds to show you care.

Thanks to @sainsburys @Tesco @asda and @Morrisons for donating over 500 KitKats to our staff working in ambulance control during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek.
It's a great way of reminding staff it’s good to take a break and look after themselves when they can 💙
