Then also today, 9.44am - Ally was enthusing about pine martens. Al said they were vicious and again Ally's soul whistled from him as he said "yeah" in a defeated voice which made me laugh.

Keep up the good work.

@tSHandJ Hey chaps. Couple of potentials for Clips of the Week.

Caught a barmy chat between Ally and Big Al about films - around 9.40am today. Ally enthusing about Oppenheimer to which Al replied it was boring - to which Ally capitulated and said "yeah" with soul departing.

@Nataliealana87 Thanks for coming along, Natalie - it's been lovely to see people smiling and joining together (and not chasing me with rotten veg).

I think I've listened to this about 30 times - it will never get old, the memories will never fade...

[Players' Tribune Football @TPTFootball]

'I need to start with a confession. Not many things bug me, but if there’s one thing that does, it’s the idea that my story is a football fairy tale.

I know when people say I’m some sort of Cinderella Man that it’s meant as a compliment. I appreciate that, but to be totally honest, it doesn’t feel like one, because it isn’t true.

No magic wands have been waved in my direction, I didn’t win some kind of lottery to land a spot on one of the biggest clubs in the world. The reason why I’m a Liverpool player is the same reason why I’m captain of my country: I’ve worked my bollocks off to get where I am, and by doing that, I’ve been able to make the most of whatever talent I have.

Why does this matter? In truth, it doesn’t matter to me as an individual. It probably doesn’t matter to my family, either. It only matters because there are God knows how many little Andy Robertsons out there. Kids who are struggling to convince people that their talent deserves an opportunity. Kids who just need a break to get to wherever they deserve to be.

Kids who might give up if they start believing that only a fairy tale can save them.

I’ve never wanted to be a poster boy, but if I’m going to be a poster boy for anything, it should be this ― if you don’t give up, and if you carry on believing in yourself when others are doubting you, you can make it. You can show that you are good enough.'

@TheRefsView Jim Leighton would like a word - had his jaw smashed in an assault by Rod Wallace in the 2000 cup final, who wasn't even booked.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for a grown ass man with a morbid obsession with 'trans' people? Graham Linehan is a joke. Just like all the other obsessed fools.

@kieran_hurley Yep, I was 19/20 when Oasis appeared. Lost part of my hearing at the Barras in 1994. They were never about nationalism. I was a scared, scarred kid. I found my tribe amongst the indie kids. Things weren't better then. We were young & cared for each other. Hope. Nostalgia is a lie

[Alan Muir @AlanMuir74]

Poster alert! Loving working with Theatre 118. Come along and check out the amazing space they have magicked into existence. Morning Star is one of the best things I've worked on and the team are phenomenal - dream come true. #WatchtheStar

Why the f*ck are we paying for the BBC? No live feed for Kneecap, no highlights, promoting dreck, Reform and Zionism. Free Palestine.
