@danroutledge.bsky.social @shieldsbrief.bsky.social so what were the referee issues really about? www.cityam.com/official-bri...
It is understood that many of the BBF’s duties will be transferred to Basketball England and that the ban on British referees officiating in competitions run by world governing body FIBA has Ben lifted.

This seems unlikely.
An online advertisement - although it's unclear what is being advertised. It is a photo of Cliff Richard, with the caption "Cliff Richard lives in Glasgow with his partner".

Are there no other photos of this woman? I'm pretty sure the one they all use is photoshopped and/or from years ago. Oh, here we go...

I tried Copilot, and it said this.
Hypothesis: “One Direction” could be a cryptic definition for Take That — another boy band, but that’s 4,4 and doesn’t fit the clue’s logic. Wait — what about: Answer: Gone Solo - Explanation: - “The one devastated” = anagram of “THE ONE” → “GONE” - “Volunteer to miss” = “solo” — as in someone who used to be part of a group but now volunteers to go it alone. - “One Direction” = cryptic definition — someone who used to be in One Direction but is now gone solo. Final Answer: Gone Solo Let me know if you want to tweak the clue or explore alternatives — this one’s got layers!

Reminiscent of this.
An old advert for X-Ray Spex. See bones thru skin. See thru clothing... Amazing X-ray vision guaranteed! The famous blushingly funny illusion.

@danroutledge.bsky.social @shieldsbrief.bsky.social a coach had to be restrained at half time at one of today’s games. I wonder if the officials will put in a report about that.

Happy birthday to my beautiful wife, Joyce. We have a packed week ahead to celebrate. Off to PlaySport later to watch Caledonia Gladiators, then we have a trip to London on Tuesday to see MAMMA MIA! and ABBA Voyage. Looking forward to staying at Snoozebox - right across from the ABBA Arena.
