If you worked in local radio in the late 90’s John Anderson’s ( @GreatFaceRadio ) brilliant commentary of Michael Owen’s goal against Argentina in seared into your brain. As it was part of the off-air top of the hour lead into IRN bulletins ‘he just ran & ran….’
There have already been three times as many straight red cards in this World Cup ss there were in the whole of the 2022 edition.
This simply must be heard at The Vic soon. Have shown it to a mate who covers Australian sport in the UK and he wants to use it in a piece.
Neck on the line here. Nestory Irankuna chant:
He comes from a land down under
Nestory Irankunda
He’s got a right foot like thunder
He’s scoring one, he’s scoring another

#Lionesses seem to be better managed, more motivated and possess far greater resilience than their #ENG male counterparts. They also seem to enjoy everything a lot more.
If the @premierleague teams finishing 16th & 17th had reached the 2017 Europa League final it would have been @BurnleyOfficial v @WatfordFC And we'd have won it with a 95th minute Troy Deeney penalty in Stockholm.
Proud to gave played a small part in this well-deserved accolade. Congratulations to everyone who did all the heavy lifting.
Congratulations to the winners of Best Audio Live Coverage @talkSPORT's coverage of the 2024 Olympic Games! 🏆

Super @surreycricket are County Champions for the third season running after @somersetccc lost to
@LancashireCC today. If anyone bumps into Lancs all rounder Luke Wells, buy him a pint for me.
Very sad news about Sven-Göran Eriksson. I covered much of his career as #ENG boss and always found him to be honest, courteous & wryly amusing. Later I was @nottscounty when he was in charge and he took the trouble to come over and say hello. A class act. #RIPSven
This is disgraceful. @MichaelOlise10 removes his Olympic silver medal on the podium after losing the football final. A totally self-centred action which demonstrates utter contempt for the entire Olympic ethos. They should take it away permanently. #Paris2024
Watching #Paris2024 on @eurosport has been such a breath of fresh air. Superior in every department to @BBCSport with the exception @MJGold. Sports coverage for grown-ups.
Looking forward to being part of the first ever Olympic Games coverage on @talkSPORT I'm commentating on swimming each evening for the next 9 days #Paris2024
Total respect for #garethsouthgate who's twice come so close to delivering what #ENG fans crave most. There's too much of a "second is nowhere" attitude in football. In a few weeks the nation will be celebrating GB Olympic silver medals and quite right too. #thanksgareth

#ENG despite playing the most turgid football in the tournament, have secured the most navigable route to a major final imaginable. If they don't won it from here, they never will.
