    Maybe not the FA, but you could add bbboc.

    My point really is that it's unfair to judge an account ran by a large company harshly because it doesn't behave like an independent blogger, it can't possibly do that and the social media manager who did so would soon be sacked. Emoji laden tweets may be inane, but they're unlikely to get the account into trouble.

    Much of the time they're really seeking to highlight their content and BT Sport are doing an excellent job at creating it, watch some of their boxing shows if you've not already done so. If you want 'edgy' look elsewhere, hey go and follow that Tyan moron if that's your thing, isn't he the edge lord of choice around here at present?

    I am and it's was an fa scout
    Look it up
    Shines everything in a different light
    There the exact opposite from the ajax set up
    There is a term in Holland they use it ain't the bosman ruling
    Its from youth development
    The fa ain't interested in development just brass tax I'm afraid
    They are the Mafia of British sport dude

    If I ask you a question it's not necessarily a sign of an obsession, or that I doubt your honesty. It could be that I simply wanted some further context before responding to your post.

    A scout has to complete FA course and child protection checks. That's typically going to be the limits of their involvement with them, other than refresher courses / checks where applicable, so it's legitimate to question just how deep their knowledge is? Their day to day job is attending youth football matches and writing scouting reports, so where are they getting the inside track on FA supervision of other sports?

    The FA is a significant voice in UK sport, as is the Premier League or the RFU, BAF or any number of bodies.
    They also own Wembley, so they have a public and legitimate involvement with whoever fights there. Beyond that as far as control over other sports it's on whoever is claiming anything more than this to back up what they're claiming with some evidence.

    That evidence will have to overcome one rather obvious problem. The FA have made many, many public mistakes over the years and they've failed to demonstrate any aptitude for keeping secrets or acting in a coherent or unified way. They are instead beset with internal conflict and division, such that senior members of the FA have repeatedly lost their job.

    So claiming they're at the same time capable of mass control over other sporting bodies each with their own stakeholders and they can keep this completely secret is an extraordinary claim which requires extraordinary evidence to make it credible. Until that evidence is presented the claim has not met it's burden of proof and it's hearsay.

    Apologies if that seems a longwinded answer!

    As I said it's from youth development
    I will ask next time I see them
    Bit long winded but your post are mostly accurate and balanced
    If you don't believe the fa are corrupt though I guess you think differently for fifa who directly deal with the fa

    Well if FIFA think your corrupt...

    An aspect which could be argued is that the FA may be seen as a thought leader in youth development. If they have policies concerning child protection, education, support of and provision for young athletes that don't make the grade etc. They could be seen as a good source to inform policy by both government and other sporting bodies? That's a long way however from the control your scout friend alleges!

    They seemed adamant the fa as fingers in all sports in England
    I'm only telling you what they told me
    And he scouted in Holland and said in Holland there football association deals in strictly football if I took it in right
    Hence they create more all rounded players
    But hey hoe wtf do I know ;)
    As said I will chew their ear some more on the subject when I see them
