🚨🤯Chelsea fans gathered to protest against BlueCo and Clearlake, expressing their concerns and hoping for more clarity and direction for the club’s future.

OK FOLKS .. Some of my long standing listeners/viewers may recall that I first identified the possibility of using the unique working of a pigeon's brain to aid human soldiers on the battlefield.🥷 .. And look here: Vladimir Putin has suddenly picked up on my discovery 👍 🧐🕊
See this as a mug off? I genuinely don’t get it. Chelsea were going to lose our ground and the fans came together to raise money and fight to keep it alive. For me it’s a badge of honour that we saved the ground and the club when it could’ve gone out of business. I’d honestly never dream of ridiculing fans who donate their own time and money to keep their club alive.
🗣️ Martin O'Neill: "xG? It's total nonsense. You've got to remember what the game is about... winning football matches, that means scoring goals, not recording the expectation of them.
Expected goals' have only come about in the last few years. It's a clueless development. Some people just use these words to try to sound clever."

“I hope in some small way, we made people feel heard.”
After 37 years in RTÉ and 27 years at the helm of Liveline, Joe confirmed today he’ll retire following his final programme on Friday 27th June.
Joe said: “After 37 wonderful years here in RTÉ, and 27 years presenting Liveline, it has been an incredible honour and privilege to be part of a programme that relied entirely on trust: the trust of our listeners. People felt they could pick up the phone, ring Liveline, and share their lives, problems, stories sad, bad, sometimes mad and funny, their struggles, and their victories. I never took that for granted, not for a single minute. RTÉ has been a great place to work. Public service has always been at its heart. And now, after many happy years, I’ve decided the time has come to move on. I would like to thank you the listener for tuning in each and every day, it has been an honour to sit in this seat and hear your stories.”
During Joe’s tenure, Liveline has been a vital outlet for citizens. Joe also hosted a wide range of programmes for television, including Liveline Callback and The Meaning of Life, as well as several acclaimed documentaries. Joe has been a recipient of many awards during his acclaimed career, including a Jacob’s Award in 1992 for his work on The Gay Byrne Show, various IMRO Awards and he was also inducted into the PPI Hall of Fame in 2013.
An icon of the airways! Wishing Joe all the very best in retirement. ✨🥲

☘️CELTIC FC STATEMENT AFTER FANS ATTACKED AND FOREIGN STAFF ABUSED BY ANTI-IMMIGRATION PROTESTORS IN DUBLIN.
We would like to take this opportunity to condemn the disgraceful attack perpetrated by far right agitators on Celtic FC supporters in Dublin, Ireland yesterday (Saturday 26 April 2025).
Celtic supporters had earlier gathered socially, in a public house to celebrate Celtic FC’s victory away to Dundee United and the achievement of their beloved club’s 55th Scottish League title.
An anti-immigration demonstration had been scheduled to conclude nearby on Custom House Quay when an estimated figure of between 35 and 50 people who had been at the demonstration entered the aptly named James Connolly Pub on Eden Quay.
James Connolly, the Irish socialist, republican and leader of the 1916 Easter Rising was himself an economic immigrant from Scotland.
Ironically Irish born Adam Idah had scored twice to secure Celtic’s win and the league title. Adam Idah is the son of a Nigerian immigrant.
The demonstration had been earlier chanting “Get Them Out” in reference to forced mass deportation and anti-Palestinian solidarity slogans with Israeli flags openly on display.
Those in attendance at the social gathering asked the supporters of the demonstration to leave, in consistance with the Celtic FC message of solidarity with the Palestinian people and those in need of refuge worldwide.
The demonstrators launched into a physical attack on the Celtic FC supporters and horrendous racial abuse of non Irish members of staff and management.
The much larger far right contingent were bravely removed from the property by Celtic supporters while management and staff secured the entrance, closing the venue to the public until it was safe to re-open.
We hereby condemn this display and manifestation of bigotry and hatred.
There is no place for racism, fascism, anti-immigrant support or even sentiment, regardless of the socio-economic or political climate in the ethos of the spirit of being a true Celtic FC supporter.
We abhor the attack in Dublin on our club’s supporters as much as we abhor the message that the Dublin demonstration heralded, and we appeal to those suffering under trying economic circumstances not to be duped by opportunistic political agitators with a far right narrative.
They do not have the solution to your problems, or the will to strategise one if all they have to offer is placing blame upon the world’s weakest people, refuge seekers.
