My mam has lost my dads wedding ring in the liberties / Camden st or greater canal area (she walks between locations as she is a yoga teacher) which she usually wears on her thumb to remember him by as he has passed away :( it’s a long shot but if anyone comes across this please
A piece on the massive shift in punditry over the last couple of years, away from analysis & towards ex-players being asked to act like fans. (Believe it or not, this was largely written before the "How are the nerves now, Joleon?" Champions League final)

Feels like a significant moment in football. The PIF of the Saudi Arabian state financing the nation's four biggest clubs. Will distort football's ecosystem. Ronaldo signed. Benzema coming. Messi one of a dozen summer targets. Record wages funded. Welcome to LIV football.
This 2021 article about John McClean, teacher, rugby coach, paedophile, bully and coward is now free to read. 45 boys now men have bravely exposed him. Hopefully the Garda investigation into who did what and who knew what and when will continue further.

Sounds like you are inciting a harassment campaign against @MiguelDelaney. I remember you doing the same during the World Cup against @AdamCrafton_ and others. Is this your famous Qatari hospitality?
Remarkable chat between Liam Hayes and Joe Molloy in the @offtheball studio tonight - it delves into some really heavy areas, including suicide and mortality - but it really is a must-listen: https://t.co/8vRHN0ZGP6
Xavi: "I have a good relationship with the Sheikh. He is a serious, responsible person and I think he would do a good job"
Also Xavi: recipient of a reported £10m a year when a player for Al Sadd in Doha

Over 30 million views for @Cristiano’s arrival tweet.
Salma al-Shehab's sharing of tweets critical of the kingdom received 34 years in prison.
Salma's vision of a rights-respecting Saudi Arabia & world cost her liberty & most of her young life.

I love “The Bucket Analogy”. Training is a matter of filling the right buckets with the “right stuff”. I’ve realized that many people haven’t read the original article. It’s based on a children’s book. https://t.co/fIsooAOzXo
A hugely significant moment, as Australia become the first World Cup qualifiers - and to really do it as a team - to protest about treatment of migrant workers in Qatar
"It is for these reasons we must speak out about the situation in Qatar"

If by chance you visited the shop on Saturday afternoon with two children and purchased Three Castles Burning x2 your card payment didn't go through. You had gone by the time we noticed. A genuine mistake
This is the passenger sitting in front of you on the train. Wants to know what your favorite thing about public transportation is. His is making new friends. 14/10
Sports Illustrated doesn't do This Week's Sign of the Apocalypse any more but if it did, Newcastle running out in the colours of Saudi Arabia, a country that persecutes minorities, imprisons women's rights activists, and murders journalists would have pride of place. Sad day.
This is the "sportswashing derby".
But what is "sportswashing"? It's probably too weak a phrase now, especially when you consider the scenes around last night's fight
It is really strategic integration

Barca were warned by La Liga a few days ago that, in order to register the new signings, they would need to pull the so-called "fourth lever" and even raise money after that.
As it stands, they cannot register *all* of the five new signings and the two contract renewals.
