Australian female doctors making a statement in Gaza:

📍We are filming this video because we could die at any moment.

📍70-80% of our patients are children and pregnant women.

📍 I delivered a baby from a woman who was 9 months pregnant and whose head had been severed.

Incredible. If an English broadcasting company did this Starmer would launch a missile

Sad news of the death of Tyrone and Ardboe legend Frank McGuigan.

His display in the 1984 Ulster final will always be remembered.

Right foot 0-2

Too young to have seen him live but those who did have him among the greatest

When Andy Goram had three months left on his Motherwell contract, he already knew he was not getting another one.

He was coming towards the end of his career, driving to training with his wife Miriam, and the phone rang at half nine in the morning.

It was Ally McCoist.

That was suspicious enough on its own.

Ally did not usually phone people at half nine in the morning unless he was still coming in from the night before.

So Goram spoke to him, thought nothing more of it, and went into training.

At lunchtime, the phone went again.

This time it was Walter Smith.

Walter was at Everton then, but he told him to keep his phone on because somebody was about to ring him.

“What is it, gaffer? You got a job for me?”

Walter just told him:

“Just keep your f****** phone on.”

A couple of minutes later, the phone rang again.

“Goalie, it’s Alex Ferguson here.”

“We’ve got Bayern Munich on Wednesday and Liverpool at the weekend. Barthez is injured and Raimond van der Gouw is struggling. I need you to come down on loan until the end of the season.”

Goram knew exactly what was happening.

Ally McCoist could do Ferguson’s voice perfectly.

So he gave the only answer that made sense.

“Coisty, f*** off.”

And he put the phone down.

Then the phone rang again.

This time Goram told Miriam to answer it.

“Miriam, this is Alex Ferguson, and you can tell that fat b****** he’s got ten seconds to say aye or naw.”

It really was Sir Alex Ferguson.

So Andy Goram went to Manchester United.

Steve McClaren took him round the dressing room and introduced him to the squad.

Goram knew most of them already.

Then they got to Roy Keane.

No handshake.

Just Keane staring at him.

Goram looked at him and said:

“There’s no point is there?”

Keane just said:

“No.”

And that was it.

Keane was a Celtic man.

Goram was a Rangers man.

They did not exchange a civil word in three months.

Training did not exactly help.

They were playing eight-a-side one day, and Keane and Luke Chadwick were up front for Goram’s team.

Goram pinged a half-volley straight on to Chadwick’s foot.

Chadwick snatched at it and put the volley over the bar.

Keane turned on Goram straight away.

“Hey you, give me the f****** ball.”

Goram was not having that.

“What, do you get the ball just because you’re Roy Keane? F*** off.”

From that moment, the atmosphere was gone.

On the way off the pitch, Gary Neville came over to him.

“Goalie, we don’t talk to Roy like that down here.”

“We just don’t.”

Goram wasn’t ready to start building relationships.

“F*** off Nev, do you just do everything Roy wants? Now do one.”

Neville just walked away without saying another word.

@GCorbey91 @sid_lambert Something definitely happened. He was an absolute nightmare for defences in the early years then became a bit of a parody / joke near the end.

[Neall Torney @NeallBeforeMe]

@TeamUnion_UK The hypocrisy of this is absolutely astounding from a unionist politician.

Genuinely, how can you be so wilfully ignorant of this history?

[Afshin Rattansi @afshinrattansi]

American missiles, fired by Israel, killing children in Lebanon for decades:

Here’s the late, great Robert Fisk documenting how Israel bombed an ambulance in front of him in Lebanon.

He took fragments of the missile to the US to challenge Boeing on their missile being used to kill children.

“Dwight D. Eisenhower was the person who first invented the phrase the military-industrial complex. There it was. I went to the industry that made the missile and traced its military path, and everyone it killed was innocent."

@Budgie12438982 @mooreholmes24 @JimAllister I understand that as well. But it’s being made even worse than it should be. The whole place is an absolute mess. The most egregious example is the grand central , what an absolute clusterfuck that was and still is, with of course - significant unionist fuckery involved.

[Neall Torney @NeallBeforeMe]

@Budgie12438982 @mooreholmes24 I’m saying the whole place doesn’t work, the institutions do not function fast enough or well enough to enact meaningful change. I’m aware of the paramilitary threats, they have an effect on everyone’s lives. Change threatens their dominance, so it’s resisted.

[Neall Torney @NeallBeforeMe]

@Budgie12438982 @mooreholmes24 Political deadlock (like what’s being shown here ) basically in my eyes means that you have a political class that will squabble over the colour of shite , rather than better the place for all people. Mathew O’Toole was right, Stormont is not delivering for the anyone.

Israel ruthlessly carpet bombed Lebanon today, killing at least 180 people and injuring more than 800.

How does the BBC report it?

“Israel says it hit more than 100 command centres and military sites in 10 minutes…”

This is how war crimes are laundered.

Members of Iran’s Jewish community standing in the rubble of their synagogue in Tehran.

Bombed by Israel.

On Passover.

Iran is home to the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside of Israel. They have lived there for 2,700 years.

This is who Israel bombed on the holiest night of the Jewish calendar.
