RIP Terry Yorath. A great football man with wonderful Welsh spirit & sense of humour. Even though he played for Leeds, he's a treasure round these parts for his part in Huddersfield Town & Peter Jackson's 1998 'Great Escape'. Here are the out-takes from my club video. @htafc

Stanley Baxter. Brilliantly funny, incredibly clever, and a technical innovator in comedy production like no-one before or since. Only five months before your telegram from the King, what a sensational innings, you treasure of a man. RIP. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š

Utterly ridiculous position for the @DPWorldTour graphics on @SkySports. Some of us still watch on TVs!! On smaller receivers, the cut-off will be even more extreme than seen here! ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ If you want to know where to put graphics, please call me! @sandeepsrikanth exhibit N. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคจ ๐Ÿคก

This Channel 4 four-parter is utterly compelling, brilliantly produced and loads of very baddies get their just desserts. Big time! Bravo to @Channel4 and Sophie Oliver and all at THE GARDEN. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š
โ€œFive years in the making, this is true crime like youโ€™ve never seen it before. From the makers of 24 Hours in Police Custody and Attack on London, Operation Dark Phone: Murder by Text is the inside story of one of the biggest law enforcement operations to bring down organised crime groups, by hacking into a dark phone network used to run drugs, sell guns and plan violent attacks.โ€

Replacing a total broadcasting treasure with a generic, bland DJ was literally the most pointless, heartbreaking; ridiculous decision I have ever known. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ณ
Scott Mills lasted well in Steve Wright's slot then. Who would ever have guessed. And next up, Trevor Nelson, who will also be totally unsuitable as a replacement. Well done, #BBCRadio2 . Yet another sterling decision from your controller. ๐Ÿ™„

DENIS LAW began his football career at Huddersfield Town, and here's a tribute from my 1994 video 'THE FINAL WHISTLE II'. It was an honour to meet the treasured legend. RIP โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ™@htafc @NICKSKY @SkyNewsBreak @Examiner @TOTT_htafc @DougGThomson

With a quiet, empty stadium, how ridiculous. Did the director lose his voice? #AmateurNightOut. @_gravitymedia
