La ennesima vergogna!
Italian football is a joke. Weak players, terrible managers, corrupt higher-ups. No surprise.
Cherry on top - grazie Bastoni!
#BIHvITA #FIFAWorldCup #BosniaItalia
The right honourable Bastoni will cost Italy the chance to go to the World Cup. Shame his karma had to come around with the national team...

In light of the #Kneecap announcement that's rattled plenty of cages. Essential reading 👇
#NuestraAmericaFlotilla
One of *the* great days in Italian rugby. It was scrappy, it was ugly, but it was finally a win against the old bogey team. That's so important - what a group of players
#ITAvENG
2 tries from ITA sloppiness backed up by very strange reffing. First try came after Heyes collapsed b2b scrums, then second after jackal was ignored?
Problem is Italy are better on the ball but bad at kick contest so never have possession. ENG have easy exits every time winning the chase
#ITAvENG
So we're in agreement at this point that going to this year's World Cup as a fan is pretty much the equivalent of attending the 1936 Olympics?
That's another outrageous red card for #Juve
Thuram was slide tackled from behind in the box by Torreira (arguably two-footed) who went unbooked
Meanwhile Kelly gets sent off for a totally incidental collision, not reckless or malicious, literally just on his way down from a jump
#JUVGAL #UCL
Tonight's #Inter v #Juve might be one of the great #SerieA robberies. Possibly the most shameful dive + celebration from Bastoni, a very clear penalty shout for Juve not reviewed, and inconsistent refereeing throughout. Incredibly frustrating
#INTvJUV #InterJuve
Because they played better than Ireland for last chunks of that game, and just missed the final pass - and when they did get the final pass it was called back on a marginal call!
Doubly frustrating because they were knocking on the door with the clock in the red, not their fault Crowley scuffed it
So so frustrating from the Italian perspective, well deserved LBP but should've been at least a draw
#IREvITA
As a dual national, my support usually goes to Ireland if they're playing for a championship, Italy otherwise. Good stuff so far, Italy a joy to watch as usual these days
#IREvITA
Think Andy went for Sam to cover for Casey's weaker kicking than JGP. Hindsight says he should've gone the other way, JGP to cover Crowley's weaker kicking.
Criticism getting to Sam, looks a different player to when he's in blue (and this year can't say it's a dominant Leinster team). A big shame
Glad someone in the west is saying it out loud for once, but it's convenient that he speaks out only once he's no longer an active participant/beneficiary (at the rest of the world's expense)
I watch a lot of sports, but NFL playoff football is something really special. Incredible scenes in Carolina
#LARvsCAR #NFL
The US is being as craven and disgusting as it's always been. The real disgrace is the EU/west's capitulation, subservience, and support - international law proving fraudulent for the nth time (unsurprisingly)
Solidarity with Venezuela 🇻🇪
Fair play to Lando, recovered well after the start and drove very well on the back stretch 👏
IMO he's lucky that Max, Charles, or George aren't his teammates but you can only play the cards you're dealt. Disappointed in Piastri's fall off, and what more can you say about Max?
#F1 #AbuDhabiGP
In some ways I think you can obviously blame Max's headloss in Spain, but at the same time that nutjob mentality is what makes him so great and has led to his other wins. He is who he is, for better and for worse
#F1 #AbuDhabiGP
Do the stewards have the balls to give a 5s penalty to Lando? 👀
#F1 #AbuDhabiGP #BringBackMasi
Time for Yuki to channel his inner Checo Perez now...
Good moves by Lando to clear traffic in fairness
#F1 #AbuDhabiGP
Oscar Piastri where was this in the races before Qatar!! Outrageous!
#F1 #AbuDhabiGP
Ah damn, sounds like nasty business. Will definitely dig into it, cheers
I attended their event in Glasgow a few weeks back out of a general interest in the landscape of left politics and wasn't impressed (to be polite) so it's useful for me to build a bigger picture
My (unknowledgeable) impression of the SWP was that they were pretty useless, but harmless - from reading lately, it seems there's a more cynical side?
Would be interested in a write up if you know where I could find one 🙏
Fun times tuning into "Your Party Implosion 2: Electric Boogaloo" 🙃
#YourParty #YP
Granted South Africa should be pretty disappointed imo
As an Irish-Italian this is reminding me of the old days of Italian rugby. Killed in the scrum with no hope of winning regardless of how well they played otherwise
The scrum -> penalty -> YC -> penalty -> more YCs loop is a bit silly. Fair play to SA for having the pack to pull it off
#IREvRSA
This has just turned into a bit of joke of a match, very funny in fairness
#IREvRSA
CNN exit poll answers to the question "Do you consider yourself a democratic socialist?" Yes 25%, No 69% 85% of Yes respondents voted Mamdani, 13% of Yes respondents voted Cuomo.
Glad to hear of some good news overnight - but in disbelief that CNN exit polls showing that a handful of Cuomo voters consider themselves "democratic socialists" 😂
Words don't mean anything anymore!
#Mamdani #Cuomo
Not to be a rugby boomer (I'm really the opposite!) but the game's gone if that's a red card, in my opinion
Just no context taken into consideration
