Festive hot take:
Cranberry sauce.
It's shite.
It's just really rubbish jam. It has no business in a sandwich or near any kind of meat.
Only the sort of posers who got to New York in November to do their Christmas shopping & come home with an American accent pretend to enjoy it.
Get in the bin.

“Denis Law is one of the few footballers I’m too young to have seen play live, but like all followers of the game, I’m aware of his impact and talent. What I hadn’t fully appreciated was what a kind and generous person he was – something that became obvious as I read the many tributes to his character, in preparation for this cartoon”.

People can have opinions about lesser teams getting into the Rugby World Cup but I for one am happy that Ireland get to play a country for whom just the chance to play their little hearts out in front of a few dozen of their fans on the big stage is victory enough
We also drew Uruguay & Portugal

World Cup could see first trial use of VAR for corners
Football’s lawmakers are exploring the possibility of allowing tournaments to run their own trials of new rules, which could lead to VAR being used to adjudicate on corner kicks at next summer’s World Cup.
Under the change the International Football Association Board (Ifab) would allow more short-term trials as an alternative to the system whereby major tournaments largely introduce measures only after they have been trialled, usually in minor leagues or tournaments. Continue reading...

Eye gouging is the act of an absolute scumbag anyway but eye gouging against a team you are battering 73-0 & who literally pose zero threat to you should come with an *extra* 10 week ban on top of whatever else the panel decides, just for the sheer needless & vindictive stupidity of it #WALvRSA

In the jigs & the reels of Leinster's sub-optimal start to the season & the November internationals, I had completely forgotten that Sam Gilbert was joining Connacht.
Really interested to see how he goes because, on paper at least, it looks like a fantastic signing

Hilariously bad. Like something you'd see on a tennis racket you've bought from Sports Direct, thinking it was a better brand (which is an apt metaphor to be fair)
