Iโ€™d consider me and my mates pretty good England fans, but this 100 are another level. Hats off to them all, delighted they witnessed that tonight . Up The England ๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
Superb performance from England & brilliant that 100 England fans got into a โ€˜behind closed doorsโ€™ game. The 100 were chosen on lifetime โ€˜capsโ€™ with around 320-355 caps making you eligible That means those attending havenโ€™t missed a game (home or away) since 2002. Amazing

Remembrance Weekend - FREE ENTRY! We are honoured to wear the poppy every time we step onto the pitch, thanks to our fantastic sponsorship by Knowle RBL Club. This weekend it will be even more poignant, as we remember those who gave their lives so we could live ours - and also remember our dear departed friend Jimmy Merry - with a minute's silence before the match. Members of Knowle RBL Club will join us for the occassion, and we would like to see as many there as possible, so have made gate entry free for all, and we will be asking for donations to the RBLโ€™s Poppy Appeal for those in attendance. Please spread the news far and wide, and join us for what should be a cracking game of football against @HistonFC. @PoppyLegion @VisitKnowle

Match days just wonโ€™t be the same. A simply lovely man who will be hugely missed by so many people. Sleep well Jimmy โค๏ธโšซ๏ธโšฝ๏ธ
Knowle Football Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our Men's First Team Match Secretary, Jimmy Merry. Jimmy was a familiar and respected figure within grassroots and non-league football for many, many years. Through his dedication, hard work and unwavering commitment to the game, he became known to countless players, managers, officials and volunteers across the local football community. At Knowle FC, Jimmy was much more than a match secretary. He was a trusted colleague, a valued friend and someone whose passion for football was on show at every game. Much of the work he undertook was behind the scenes, often unnoticed by many, but his contribution was immense and greatly appreciated by all who had the privilege of working alongside him. Jimmy's passing is a great loss to Knowle FC and to the wider football family. He will be remembered for his commitment, his friendship and the positive impact he made on so many people throughout the game. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Jimmy's family, friends and loved ones at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Jimmy.

The most awful thing is that this is what our entire political establishment thinks and has always thought about the rape gangs, but theyโ€™ve learnt not to say it. Rory is so convinced of his intellectual superiority he felt he could say it. They all think itโ€™s noisy, inconvenient and irrelevant. But to ordinary voters it is totemic of the casual, shocking disregard in the treatment of societyโ€™s most vulnerable to pursue sacred goals. Heโ€™ll regret having said this.
'Is Elon Musk clear that a lot of grooming cases he talks about happened ten years ago?' Rory Stewart explains why he believes there are more important issues facing Britain than gangs of 'predominantly Pakistani Muslim men' grooming women and girls.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The rape gang phenomenon is an ongoing issue, with prosecutions for crimes as recent as 2025. The Casey review cites ongoing prevalence in new investigations, occurrence nationwide rather than a single small group, and the cover up by various police forces. news.sky.com/story/first-baโ€ฆ gov.uk/government/pubโ€ฆ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/โ€ฆ

Unreal performance from the boy. Barely put a foot wrong since he arrived last season, and a top lad as well ๐Ÿ”ดโšซ๏ธโšฝ๏ธโค๏ธ
PLAYER OF THE MATCH @EmiratesFACup A simply brilliant performance yesterday by Matt Horton that even had the @WorcesterCityFc fans and players applauding at times! Ultimately he could only be beaten by a fortunate deflection after making a string of stunning saves when we were under pressure. Matt is sponsored by Lashes By Lauren - thank you Lauren for your support!

This is the most serious fan-player incident I've ever seen. It should really be a matter for the police rather than the FA. Should be arrested tonight And we should be talking about a very long ban. Measured in months rather than games
