Bit OTT I thought. He's an odd individual.

@Eco you watching Djokovic/Berettini? Rubbish fans have to go home halfway through the game. Shame players have to go off as they were primed to continue an epic game.

Ben Stokes did it a few years ago and was cleared

I suspect it's not anyone in capacity at ECB. It's more likely a member of public digging it all up and bringing it to the public eye. Then it gets 'brought to the attention' of the ECB. But it does indicate to any teenager around right now - careful what you tweet/post/comment on or about as you never know when it might come back to bite you if it can carry any kind of offensive nature

You're really conflicted inside now aren't you?

Got the job

These two points kind of contradict each other to be fair. They do have to worry about their consequences of their actions because eventually it will come back to bite them. So if you're 18, think about what you write online - on FB, Twitter, Instagram etc. I don't think him saying he was young negates any learning he might have picked up since. You could have the best upbringing and still be an absolute cunt through immaturity; it might not have been his upbringing or who he surrounded himself with. It was 'only' 9 years ago - social media was still rife at that time and even at 18 you're bound to make some mistakes. I agree that they should be educated as well as having to face the consequence of not playing a sport they may love or enjoy. Otherwise what is the point indeed. Banning them from the sport for a period of time, only for them to come back and play anyway without realising what exactly they have done is wrong is pointless. Agree that it's telling about the government getting involved - forgot to mention in my post that I have no idea why Johnson had to get involved. Ramprakash was right with his comments about the government having no right to have their say.

A lot of investigations by ECB in to their players and historical social media posts. Ollie Robinson obviously the documented at the moment for racist/sexist/misogynistic tweets 9 years ago. Allegedly Craig Overton for telling a Pakistani player while at Somerset 'to go back to your own country'. Allegedly Buttler/Morgan for mocking, on Instagram, how Indian people speak. And this morning they're investigating other instances of historical comments. They've set the precedent with the Robinson incident. Suspending him from all cricket, however this is more so they can continue to 'investigate'. Michael Holding made a good and valid point yesterday; these are historical - if he has changed his ways, apologised, educated himself and matured since he was younger, should he continue to be banned/suspended? I agree when he says we all make mistakes when we're younger but if we can show we can learn from those lessons, why not give him second chances? Some of the above are instances when they were a teenager, when they probably didn't know better at all and still learning. I think the ECB have some very big decisions to make. It'd be a huge call to replace Robinson for Overton in the upcoming next test against NZ. What do others think of this whole scenario?

Federer pulled out of the tournament and is praised for looking after his physical health so he can be in the best condition for Wimbledon. Osaka pulls out to preserve her mental health and gets proverbially shat on from all angles. Double standards much...

It's @Whiskey.

Don't know where you had your vaccine mate but mine was in my arm.

0 deaths in England again.

Had my first jab today. Had to let you all know as I think it's the done thing these days.

What a sour puss.

I think they'll serve half their sentence and be out in 500

@MUFC definitely likes a bit of Socken.

Yep, they're looking at having it as Austin, so it'd be this replacement race and then the Austin GP the week after.

Singapore GP - originally set for 1-3rd October - cancelled. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/57360662 Turkey, China & USA being looked at as replacements. Japan, Brazil, Mexico & Australia all in doubt at the moment as well.
