I can’t grasp how political representatives who pontificate so often about the principles of Jesus Christ are today **openly rejoicing** about the injustice surrounding innocent people being murdered on Bloody Sunday.
This isn’t leadership. This is purposefully and deliberately divisive.
No matter who you are, your background or belief, violence is wrong. Murder is wrong.
It shouldn’t be hard as an elected representative to say that.
Chris Sutton on Ange Postecoglou's sacking...
"Club appoints manager after years of being so allergic to success that there is a very word for their devotion to disappointment.
"Manager wins club their first trophy since 2008 to stop them from being so ‘Spursy’. Club sacks manager. Make it make sense. I can’t.
"Daniel Levy took his sweet time, and even then he came to the ridiculous conclusion that Tottenham are better off without Ange Postecoglou.
"It's their loss, not his. Tottenham fans had been craving an entertaining brand of football after being bored to tears for too many seasons.
"Postecoglou delivered them that, certainly in their first season. He lost Harry Kane, led them to fifth in the Premier League, and got them into the Europa League.
"The second season was a struggle, but he won them that European competition, even though he had to deal with being vilified as badly as Graham Taylor when he was branded a turnip. 'To Dare Is To Do.' That's Tottenham's motto.
"Postecoglou dared and did. But now? Now, he is available to go win silverware for someone else, and he will, I’m sure.
"His sacking sums up football, really. Don't get me wrong, Thomas Frank is an excellent, elite, experienced manager.
"He’s turned Brentford into a stable Premier League club. Levy now wants Frank to turn Tottenham into a consistent Champions League club.
"Because clearly, that’s the Spurs priority. Forget trophies. Levy wants to top the balance-sheet table.
"And yet I wonder what those fans who were in Bilbao will remember when they’re old and grey and boring the grandkids by telling them the same story for the 1,000th time.
"Will it be the year they finished fourth? Nah. It’ll be the glorious night they beat Manchester United to become winners in Europe.
"Postecoglou can leave with his head held high. He stuck two fingers up to his critics who mocked him for saying he would win in his second season.
"Now we'll never get to know what would have happened in season three, thanks to Levy, who did not even have the courage to add a quote into the club statement confirming Postecoglou's sacking, like when they got rid of Antonio Conte or Jose Mourinho. Cheers, mate."

Wishing all of the boys and girls of St Peter’s Primary School, Cloughreagh, especially the Cruppen representatives, the very best of luck in the Malachy McGeeney Cup finals on Friday in Armagh!

#ArdMhachaAbú
‘Last Man Standing’ competition using the Premier League fixtures. Hopefully you can all support, it will be a bit of craic and maybe even get the kids involved to pick the teams.
£10 to enter
Selections can be sent via DM, details on how to pay will be sent in response.
You cannot watch this without a hint of sadness
Not just because one of #THFC’s greatest ever players is leaving, but more because he was systematically failed by the people who run this club.
Under any other owners, Kane would have won trophies here 🥺
