Below is on the BBC sport now regarding the ban of Kieran Trippier. and here's me thinking he was most recently a Spurs player. They just can't resist can they? :


Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier will continue to serve a 10-week ban in England after the Football Association failed to push back his suspension for betting breaches.

Tripper is still allowed to play for La Liga leaders Atletico in Spain because they have challenged the validity of the ban with world governing body Fifa.
Atletico contest the FA's right to ban a player not active in its league.

Trippier's ban in England started on 21 December and runs to 28 February.

The 30-year-old England international was suspended and fined £70,000 by the FA after being found to have broken betting rules.

Trippier told a friend to "lump on" over his 2019 move from Tottenham Hotspur to Atletico Madrid, according to English football's governing body.

Following a request from the FA, Fifa extended the ban worldwide.

Atletico appealed against the Fifa suspension and it was provisionally lifted pending a decision.

The former Manchester City and Burnley defender played the full 90 minutes as Atletico beat Sevilla on Tuesday, extending their advantage over neighbours Real Madrid at the top of the Spanish top-flight table to four points.

Is that the same bloke who never played a single game for City?
I've never played for City either. Will l get a mention?
 
BBC (United) News, Mediacity this morming showing pictures of PL players celebrating together. City were first from the Brighton game. Then another 2 teams. No picture of United celebrating together at Burnley.
 
As I don't watch BBC Breakfast Thursday to Saturday due that Munchetty woman spouting her shit I try and watch ITV. However this morning even they are hard to stomach with St Marcus being elevated even higher in the nation's hearts as the saviour of our starving children and then going into overdrive about this run of the mill game on Sunday between the Dippers and Rags....had to flick over when the "Legends" Spitty and Ratboy appeared to give us their unbiased insight!

GMB showed Villa players first, then Everton, and then ours. Ours was on the screen about 2 seconds longer than the others.
 
It was Mourinho wot did it! Well, according to St Marcus it was. But we all know that the propensity to hit the turf with either no contact or the slightest contact that wouldn't move a piece of tissue paper a millimetre has been a staple to many a Rag team down to the beginning of the PL. Old Mother Riley and Howie Redshirt were doling out pens to the home team at the Swamp far in excess of the Queen lobbing out gongs on her birthday. Interesting though, whether it is St Marcus himself or the third rate hack from the RDAHMeedya who came up with the phrase that it was Mourinho who trained them to be more 'canny in the box'. Had the piece about the Rags been about City yer could bet yer bottom dollar that the word 'canny' would be replaced with the phrase 'blatant cheating'! And that's what it was and is - Rags hitting the turf with refs and VAR judging their 'tumbles' as pens and the rest of the league being treated to what Crappenberg laughingly described as a 'coming together' whenever a useless Rag defender (Andersen on Micah comes to mind) committed a penal offence in their area. The game is rife with cheats. We've known it for decades. Nothing new. And the refs and the FArce will continue to react on the cheating that goes on as they have, strenuously, tirelessly, and admirably since the PL began - just as soon as they've checked the colour of the shirt and the club badge thereon!

Thanks for that but l am still unclear who makes the decision for vouchers or ingredients and chooses the supplier for the food packs - heads of schools or the education or even finance departments at local authorities?
ÒBBC Breakfast has already mentioned Rashford several times in an article about fsm although he is just a small part of a large group of people who are pushing the government on meals and they comprise 'celebrity cooks' including Jamie Oliver, an old hand on decent school meals and many charities who obviously know their subject.
The very next thing in the leading BBC stories was the GPC and Dalgleish involved in something to do with heading the ball and dementia with Klopp also involved with Southgate presumably just there to create an illusion everything isn't about red shirts.
Why the BBC? That's another story after l've had a root around on here.

To be perfectly honest mate I'm not sure who makes the decision around suppliers for food packs; i.e; whether there are a list of approved suppliers or not and if so, who approves them.
My understanding is that there is government guidance on what food packs should and should not contain although I haven't looked into it myself as we've not gone down that route.

From what I can see, these packs that have used by Primary Schools and like Secondary Schools, some are controlled by the Local Authority and some (like mine) are controlled by the Governing Board of the School.
In Secondary, we're being told to make the call on the best way forward individually as a school (basically the Senior Leadership Team) so I would imagine it's the same guidance in the Primary Sector.

For vouchers, the individual schools have made that call as to whether to go down this path, so I would imagine this is the case with the schools that have chosen food parcels.
It was obvious what was going to happen when you give a private company £15 and ask them to put a pack together that you're going to get nowhere near £15 worth of food.

Seriously though mate, watching the BBC News isn't good for you.
ITV mentioned the school meals review this morning, they did a good job and managed not to turn it into a Rag arse licking session.
They mentioned England Footballer Marcus Rashford and that he was one of numerous high profile people putting pressure on the government which is how it should be reported IMHO.

I dumped the BBC morning news programme months ago, it has long been just a giggle fest for them. I had enough of them talking over guests immediately after asking a question to prove what top notch journalists they were.

I switched to Sky News which has the advantage that sport isn't covered in great detail as they save that for their Sports News channel. It reduces any potential for rag or dipper arse licking to a minimum, I can't remember the last time they mentioned Rashford actually (I fully support what he's doing though).

I didn't think about Sky News in the morning and usually watch ITV.
I've stayed away from all things Sky for a while as I'm sick of the way they've reported on us but might check the news out.
My missus can't stand Piers Morgan but I've tolerated him as anything is better than the BBC IMO.
I support what Rashford is doing too, my issue is the way the BBC try to spin it into free publicity for the Rags which simultaneously dilutes the actual story.
