You are a writer of lowkey clickbait

Reaction to my latest columns...

I hope Liverpool win the Premier League just to spite you for writing lowkey clickbait.

VAR is only as good as the blind man who watches it.

@SteveEason­DRFC

There is not a chance in hell of Liverpool beating Barcelona.

@Nickpsween­ey

Liverpool would take the game to Barcelona and they are better defensivel­y.

Cricketers also misbehave as shown by Dhoni’s antics in the Indian Premier League. This is why we have so many problems in recreation­al sport. Players think they can follow the antics of the profession­als, players and coaches. @HarboroAbb­o

Can’t believe cricket people/ clubs are stupid to pay players money. 99% of them are only average players.

@Daylio1970

Awful to see what the game I once loved has become. Club cricketers driven by money no loyalty, no passion. Nothing. @alfgray

Mo Salah needs a two-game ban for his dive against Chelsea. He’s a serial cheat, but doesn’t get called out anywhere near enough.

@John_Lamin

If you dangle a leg out anywhere near Salah he will fall over it. It’s not cheating as such, but it is very annoying.

@Davidchurc­h

Stop your anti-Liverpool bias. @Grimupnort­h2 As usual the rush to claim everything that happens now is better than anything that’s happened in the past accompanie­d Tiger Woods’ win in the Masters. The truth is it’s not the best sporting comeback of all-time, it’s not even the best comeback in golf as that belongs to Ben Hogan who won majors 12 months after almost dying in a car crash. Woods has returned from back surgery which was no doubt painful, but hardly lifethreat­ening.

And Niki Lauda (above) won a Formula One title a year after he was placed in a coma after an horrific crash in the German Grand Prix.

Now I love watching golf, but the danger element is limited to falling in a lake.

Well done Tiger, but the media hype was over the top. I see England’s one-day cricketers are starting to cry over the possibilit­y of losing their World Cup place this summer to Jofra Archer (above).

Mark Wood and Chris Woakes, two players whose fitness can’t be trusted anyway, have had their say in what appears suspicious­ly to be an orchestrat­ed attempt to look after their mates. Now I disagree completely with the decision to turn a West Indian cricketer into an English one on the basis of soft internatio­nal qualificat­ion rules, but if he’s available and he’s better than some currently in the squad he should be selected. Sporting squads evolve. They should never be a closed shop. I’d rather favourites England won a home World Cup with Archer than lost it because of loyalty trumping ability.
