A quick search for ‘Danny Kelly’ on here will show you how much this wonderful man was loved, how great an impact he had on others and how his kindness touched so many people

I’ll forever cherish those times we shared a studio together at @talkSPORT

This one really hurts 💔

[Jordan Angeli @jordangeli]

Looking forward to being on the call with @DonaldsonESPN for @GothamFC v @reignfc - defense wins championships and we have 2 of the best defensive teams in this match up! Tune in to see what gives 12:30 pm et Sunday ⚽️ @NWSL

[Mark Donaldson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @DonaldsonESPN]

@ColinSwinton I agree

[Mark Donaldson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @DonaldsonESPN]

A team that’s making the same defensive mistakes and conceding the same goals as they did in Graz in July - and on so many occasions since - but nothing has been learned in nearly four months.

Far more questions than answers tonight

Lost in the mist - reaction to defeat in Europe as schoolboy defending costs Hearts dearly in Switzerland

[Mark Donaldson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @DonaldsonESPN]

@ColinSwinton Yup. And having listened to WV's postgame interview it appears the decision was left to Kingsley whether or not he played. If so, that's poor.

[The Hearts Academy @WeeJambos]

With us since he was 8-years-old, Matty has progressed through both the Academy and our Performance School @BalernoSchool📚⚽️

A Jambo through and through, a talented young footballer and a top human being all in one, we are immensely proud to call you one of our own Matty♥️

[Mark Donaldson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @DonaldsonESPN]

@The_Tman10 Just the six laughing emojis pal? Deserves way more. Amateur hour.

[Mark Donaldson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @DonaldsonESPN]

Strong starting XI considering, fingers cross Kingsley manages 90 on that surface.

Bare bones on the bench if we’re defending a lead and want to freshen things up.

SATF: On The Whistle for reaction at full-time

Infantino has so far failed to turn over documents or make a requested appearance before the judiciary committee to explain peace prize, ticket pricing, fifa office in trump tower, fifa sell off etc etc. He may not have a choice as to whether he appears after tonight.
