OBE. Coach, wrestler, leader. Scottish independence 👍 & Celtic FC🍀 @Team_Scotland Chair (2007-15). Loving retirement and being a grandad! Personal views here.

@GeorgeFoulkes Sit down, George. It sounds like perhaps you enjoyed the hospitality a little too much. Hearts have had an amazing season and, if they'd managed to get a draw today, they would have been deserved champions. But they didn't and your remarks are desperate and embarrassing.

Celtic denied stonewall penalty - Motherwell goalie Callum Ward sprinted out & kneed Daizen Maeda right through the back (nothing on ball). VAR Andrew Dallas not calling John Beaton to the monitor for a penalty is an absolute joke - the most blatant cheating you will ever see

[Michael Cavanagh @cavanaghm]

@EadoSK6 @PaulEmbery Nonsense Eado. The penalty decision against Motherwell in the last minute was marginal but correct according to the laws of the game. I'm also assuming you haven't seen the first half incident when the Motherwell goalkeeper flattened Daizen Maeda in the box. Absolute stonewaller

@TomSaxton79 @cbrookmyre It may have been the one I returned to the box office because I hadn't heard back from you! 😁

The final day of Olympic wrestling, & the @eurosport commentary remains poor. The final challenge in the PUR-MGL match confirmed that neither commentator understands a basic wrestling rule-3 points of contact needed to score the 2 points for control (2 hands, 1 knee this time).

[Michael Cavanagh @cavanaghm]

The @eurosport Olympic wrestling commentary is still poor. Colin Bryce is doing it now but, despite him having wrestling experience from many years ago, the sport has moved on a lot. It's a blessing that mats A & C have no @eurosport commentary, which is just annoying on mat B.

[Michael Cavanagh @cavanaghm]

Great that all the Paris 2024 wrestling is on @eurosport via Discovery+, but it's frustrating to have commentators who obviously have no real technical knowledge of the sport. Neil Adams was fine with his own sport of judo last week, but adds nothing to the wrestling coverage.

We’re all with you @chrishoy! 💪🏻

@Team_Scotland It was a great honour to receive the Order of Merit award last night from Katie on behalf of Commonwealth Sport, and very special to me that it was done at the Scottish Sports Awards. Thanks to the many people who have been part of the Commonwealth Sport journey with me.

[Team Scotland @Team_Scotland]

Huge congrats to our former Chair, Michael Cavanagh OBE, awarded the prestigious Commonwealth Order of Merit for significant contribution to the Commonwealth Sport movement!

He received his award from CGF Chief Executive Katie Sadleir at last night's #ScottishSportsAwards23

@ITVRugby @gabrielclarke05 Perhaps if he'd behaved more on the pitch with such grace and class, his reputation may have been more positive. A hugely talented player whose behaviour on the pitch was often like a petulant toddler. Good to see some class and humility at the end of that final interview.👍🏻 2/2

[Michael Cavanagh @cavanaghm]

@ITVRugby @gabrielclarke05 What a complex character Johnnie Sexton is. Bleating at the beginning of the interview about not getting decisions, when Wayne Barnes had as good a refereeing performance as I've ever seen in such a huge match. Then speaking with such grace & class about Andy Farrell. 1/2
