Pulitzer Prize for this guy.
A former editor of The Independent has suggested news companies are more likely to use time savings created by AI to sack staff than to redeploy them to do more original journalism buff.ly/D01K0bX

Fannies, presumably from both Saints and Dundee, fighting near the station. People shouting at the stewards to do something and they just stand there. No police in sight at a known trouble spot.
Lovely end to the football when you don’t feel safe walking back to your car.

It’s like the BBC think they’d be shut down if they didn’t start Sportscene with one of the Old Firm.

Sneaky stuff from The Guardian releasing an archive episode of Football Weekly when staff are on strike (I marked it as played, didn’t and won’t listen).

I would have been furious if Liverpool fans hadn’t chanted that song.
Manchester City may have lost at Anfield today but at least their manager and goalkeeper didn’t react to what was a harmless, throwaway chant late on in the game in either a weirdly sensitive or incredibly distasteful manner.
Oh.
Oh.

Don’t care which one of them is doing it, the whole thing with #F1 drivers grassing each other up is a nonsense and needs to stop.
At the very least stop broadcasting the radio messages of them clyping.
