"JUST IN: U.S President Trump on Irans Supreme Leader Khamenei's location: "If I were the Supreme Leader of Iran I would be afraid to sleep in the same place for too long. I would reveal its location live on air but that would be a bit stupid of me. Instead of wasting enormous resources on long bomber flights I decided to concentrate aircraft carriers in the region - to be prepared for any scenario in which no deal is reached.""

"To think that Scottish referees are exempt from all this is very naive. Some action should be taken not excuses thats dont stand up to scrutiny. And just for added information. The whole of the refereeing body was replaced in Spain in the summer because of complaints. All VARs in the top two flights were made VAR-only specialists. It's changed nothing.
