Right up there with giving it to Kissinger in 1973 this one. A mate of Netanyahu to boot.

Couldn’t make it up.

Nonetheless, we are where we are - 19th in the table and need to buck up soon if it is not to be Groundhog Day. 4/

Rigidity and lack of flexibility is what did for Adkins in the end and nearly sent us back to said National League. Early days and today’s poor performance was not at the level of that home game against Accrington where I don’t think I was the only one at Prenton Park in despair that evening. 3/

Barnet will cause many other sides problems this season and look like they’re on the same promotion from the National League roll we experienced. Impression of Tranmere today is that the players still don’t know each other but that three at the back which kept us up is also becoming a dogma. 2/

BBC match report confirms that sending off, I think from Norman’s reaction for a swing at him. TV a better vantage point I think than the family paddock!

0-2 Final score

Bit of an altercation there at the end with Barnet’s keeper being shown the red card but he stayed on the pitch.

Photos and thoughts to follow when I can get a better signal

Just saying Barnet might score from one of these breakaways. And but for Murphy they nearly did.

Scurry of half-shots there coinciding with Davison’s entry into the game. Should have happened earlier.

Thought the Barnet player was going to take the ball in the dressing room there.

Second half under way. Can see Jennings and Finlay on.

Not got any better since. They deserve a good telling off in the dressing room.

HT 0-2

Too many mislaid passes and wayward balls in a poor defensive performance. Ironside isolated.

Ball from the attacking right completely missed all our defenders for a simple tap in.

Never going in header from Ironside. Better.

Dawdling at the back. Not good.

Two chances now for them though, too.

Slow to get going, that’s two good chances now.

Debates on social spending cuts need to end.

Yasmin Fahimi, Chair of the German Trade Union Federation (DGB), has accused the government of setting false priorities and risking social division. Amid the worst economic stagnation in decades, the talk instead is of cuts to income support. #Germany

Following today’s majority vote to ban the use of “sausage”, “schnitzel”, and “burger” for meat substitutes, CDU MP Peter Liese expressed general German opposition: “It is a shame that the EU parliament is concerned with such nonsense at a time when we really have more important problems.” #Germany

EU-Parlament will Namen wie "Veggie-Wurst" verbieten

Bezeichnungen wie "Soja-Schnitzel" und "Veggie-Burger" könnten bald verschwinden: Das EU-Parlament hat dafür gestimmt, Begriffe wie Wurst und Schnitzel für Fleischersatz zu verbieten. Entschieden ist ...

While also offering nothing to halt the decline in foreign language learning opportunities for working class students of all ages. Not that this is on many people’s agenda in Flag Land.

Looks like an iPad to me.
