Al-Sandcastle - the sportswashing barcodes

Iā€™m trying to figure out who Alan is and what it has to do with sportswashing and Newcastle.

You are not helping ā€¦ :disappointed: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Watched the Newcastle match again, this time without the hordes of screaming cousins. They have become a really dirty team, I counted 5 plays that could have earned Joelinton a yellow. In general, they do what in hockey parlance is called ā€˜finishing your checkā€™, making sure that even after the pass is made, you make contact with your target to slow them up and wear them down. Good fundamental ice hockey as long as it isnā€™t too late, but checking isnā€™t legal in footy.

I am not a big fan of Taylor, but it is a difficult thing to officiate because it can mean a stoppage on virtually every sequence - and that itself disrupts the attacking play. I donā€™t think he had any choice but to go to the yellows he was clearly trying to avoid much earlier than he did. Hereā€™s hoping Toon play City the same way.

Sorry. Itā€™s a wonderful cause and purpose. https://www.alanshearerfoundation.org.uk/

Itā€™s unfortunate that some foundations are unethically and illegally used to advance agendas that have nothing to do with the entityā€™s mission.

itā€™ll be interesting to see the records of all the PIF donations to UK based entities, including any PGMOL or PGMOL membersā€™ related entities.

25kā€¦pathetic. They own the worlds richest club and the PIF is estimated to be worth nearly 800 billion dollars, whilst MBS/the royal fam are estimated to be worth 1.4 trillion. Shearer should have told em to add a couple of noughts.

Hermes need to introduce a new range of bags in real Sheikh skin.

Rumours beginning to circulate that Howe is for the chop if they lose to Sunderland.
Fingers crossed, I have a Sunderland, Hull and Liverpool treble this weekend
