Both the English Football League (EFL) and Twitter apologised for the one-hour-and-45-minute delay. A statement from the EFL read: "The EFL has received an apology from Twitter UK for the delay which is believed to have occurred as a result of a faulty encoder. "The EFL has requested a full explanation into the events that led to this afternoon's unacceptable delay." Hard to believe that The EFL and full explanation appear in the same sentence.

Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Why the hell were the two people conducting the draw a RUGBY player and a CRICKETER?   #Shaunharveyisacunt. The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Twitter were responsible for the tech failure but let me see... who was it that chose to use Twitter to broadcast the draw? Did you do your research? Did you test everything? I've worked for agencies where we send clients printed design work. Although the printers are external to us, we're still responsible for that work right up until they land on our clients' doorstep. I can't wait for someone senior within the EFL to be implicated in some kind of scandal and it unravels a whole list of dirty dealings and financial failings. "Don't shine that light in my face, mate - I've just lost a pint of blood."
