Unionism was complaining about the £150,000 Irish signage at grand central station when loyalist thugs burn a bus worth £800,000 so I don’t want to hear about the cost of Irish signage again
Craig Gordon’s Instagram post has got people talking 👀
While away on World Cup duty alongside Celtic players, the Hearts goalkeeper reflected on the end of the season and referenced “anger”, “disappointment” and “injustice”.
Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston discuss the timing of the post and whether it was the right message to send.
The full episode of Frankly Speaking is available now.

Bombay Street, Belfast 1969 people burnt out of their homes for being a different religion.
Tonight, people are being burnt out of their homes for being a different nationality.
The horrific scenes in North Belfast should not be used by English, right wing politicians to further their own ends. I don’t ever remember them commenting on any of the other hellish things that community has experienced over the years.
Accusations from Hearts, points deductions from an ex-ref, and strongly-worded memos to FIFA from some Baron with his snout in the trough…
23 days later and Celtic are still champions.
Toxic masculinity, led from the front by an elected MP.
I have never attended a protest where people felt the need to cover their faces. Politicians who enable this don’t just reflect hatred, they normalise the abnormal.
Leaders lead and this is shameful from a MP.
DUP🤝masked and abusive Sectarians
Of course you're going to feel emboldened to shout vile abuse - to hurl sectarian and pro-genocide insults at people peacefully marching - if your local MP is standing beside you.
Disgraceful but unsurprising scenes.

@carlalockhart My eyes aren't painted on, Carla...
Neither is anyone else's.
Where is your condemnation of the masked men? You're clearly free to attack Alliance, but still nothing on that?
Says it all.
Carla, the crowd you were playing to were wearing masks and shouting abuse.
You've yet to condemn it but have taken the time to criticise @SorchaEastwood.
Maybe, as an elected rep it's you who needs to do better.
As an MP representing a constituency of 112,00 people, people with very diverse views and life experiences, I work every day to try and bring people together by leading and showing positive example by going everywhere in Lagan Valley. I certainly don't please everyone all of the time and that's not the aim. But we have an important role in working for all and showing good example. Standing in a crowd with people covering faces with masks or scarves whilst the crowd shout obscenities and abuse is not something we should be anywhere near, never mind in the middle of. We all have a role to play in providing positive leadership and this falls shockingly short of it.
South Down is a welcoming place defined by beautiful forests, mountains, and beaches - not masked intimidation
Next time you visit @carlalockhart you should look into what our constituency actually has to offer, rather than standing with masked men intimidating women & children
Heres a wee video of hearts fans getting excited when motherwell made it 2-2. They actually thought for 8 months they were winning the league but the cream always rises to the top. Breaking hearts in the last 10 mins of the season. It was amazing
