Reports of 10-17% drop off in viewing figures last season (24/25) compared to previous (23/24). I’d be surprised if there hasn’t been a steady decline in viewing figures the last few years now…, interesting. Figures for MOTD down too, with Lineker leaving being cited as the reason. I seldom watch it now, but nothing to do with leaving as I never much liked him anyway. I find the analysis bit boring anyway, but worse when it’s by some women I’ve never even heard of. Sky posted average viewership per game of around 1.57 million, a ten per cent drop on the 2023/24 campaign TNT

This is breathtaking.

I hadn’t realised a young lad died trying to get away from him. Sounds like a right weirdo horrible b*****d.

Just had the best meal over the festive, the traditional boxing day stuffing sandwich with brown sauce, washed down with 6 Celebrations.

RIP John Robertson. Didn’t see too much of him as I was too young but a gifted winger from a time when Nottingham Forest were kings of Europe and Scotland produced some real top drawer talent.

Merry Christmas one and all. Hope you have a lovely day with family and friends or whomever you choose to spend it with. Read this heart warming story this morning, restores a wee bit of faith in humanity in these times of self, self, self.

Some good points there. My view is that sport always will evolve and change. More often the drivers of change will be greed, but some visionaries have elevated sport to different levels and brought good things. Barry Hearn taking darts from relatively small dark halls to indoor arenas, and from the ‘best of order please’ silence on the throw, broken only by the coughs from the audience choking on cigarette smoke, to the raucous technicolour atmosphere that puts many a top flight football crowd to shame. Arab money though is different in my opinion. They have sh!t tons of it and virtually

Nutcases the whole fcuking lot of them. I think the tide is turning on this sh!te now, and credit should be given to this guy and everyone who has the guts to call it out…, and shame on all the wet wipe kow-towing politicians that let it get so fcuked up.

On the road to hell apparently. RIP

Not a movie but piece made about Chris Hoy’s cancer journey from diagnosis in 2023 till now. What an inspiration this guy is, not only to cancer sufferers. Well worth a watch.

Just watched it having already seen the result. So AJ sold out. It looked as scripted as WWE.., reckon Joshua was told to try and make it look convincing the first 4, then he could close it out. Jake Paul never been or ever will be a boxer, and has all the stamina you’d expect of a blown up bodybuilder. Do I blame AJ for taking the money, maybe not, but I see this stuff as sh!tting on the sport that made him. So fcuk him, this can be his legacy…, and fcuk Eddie Hearn the circus ringmaster too, selling snake oil as sport. And fcuk Jake Paul, fcuking classless moron. Whilst I’m at it, fcuk th

Three birds disappeared with some sat trackers cut off. Sea eagles are an incredible sight no doubt and I’d love to see more of them, but people seem to forget there is a reason they were hunted to extinction before. The release of these birds is the equivalent to some farms of releasing a fox into a chicken coop. Bordering on reckless if you don’t account for the impact of what’s being done. The video I posted in March details some of the extent of that impact. And no doubt ‘hunting’ will be in the frame as prime suspect in the disappearances. Disappearance of conservat

Was out catching up with a few mates last weekend and the conversation inevitably turned to football. Most of the lads said they’d pretty much stopped watching the English prem, even though all still had a Sky sports subscription. We’re all similar age (early fifties) and would watch English football religiously in the 90’s, often in the pub (still have amazing memories of great games like the Liv-Newc 4-4 draw) and in later years (00’s) I’d still look forward to the games between the big 4/5/6 teams. I’d say the last few years I’ve lost almost all interest in the EPL. I don’t think it’s do

Probably did it for some sort of kudos on social media. In the olden days they’d have tarred and feathered them. How I’d love to see it brought back.

What did you dream? It’s alright, we told you what to dream. Half a century old!
