🚨 Unai Emery says he took decision to omit Taylor Harwood-Bellis from the Champions League squad as felt he felt there was balance at CB - Lamare Bogarde and Boubacar Kamara can play there - but believe he will play in Europe in the future.

@fiona6092 @IrishRail The x1 or x2 buses leave directly from the city centre Fiona, both serve greystones

[Michael Stephens @Mickeyste]

@IrishRail Why?, when is this going to be back on schedule?, this will add on nearly 2 hours using buses to get to greystones for people stuck on this dart

To say it's upsetting to find out Gordon Cowans, our "Sid" at Villa, is now in a nursing home as his dementia takes hold, is an understatement and I'm sure upsetting to everyone in the Villa family.

As a footballer, he was one of my true heroes, a majestic ball playing midfielder who was criminally underused for England but who drove us to become Champions of England and Europe. Quiet, no fuss, just oozing class and composure always.

As a coach at Villa, he was the only one on the coaching staff who didn't judge my mental health issues at a time when others, who should have known better, did. A quiet word here, a chat there, a "well done big man" when I was at my loneliest and weakest showed me the man he is.

I saw Sid a few weeks ago at Villa Park, and although it was obvious dementia was taking an ever increasing hold, he still chatted, still instinctively knew his role amongst supporters as an icon, signing autographs and having photos, a lesson to every pro footballer today. If he can, you can.

Sid, you're my hero, yesterday, today, tomorrow and for as long as I have breath in my body. You are the very best of the sport we love, the club you represented and still represent with so much grace, and the family and friends who will be by your side.

From me and mine, thank you for everything you gave a wide eyed 11 year old, thank you for the words as I lived a nightmare wrapped in a dream come true, and how you epitomise why Aston Villa Football Club is the special place that it is.

To Sid's family, sending you much love and wish you the greatest strength at this difficult time.

We're Aston Villa, a glorious name, a magnificent history and a bright future ahead. All made possible by men like Gordon Sidney Cowans.

"All of my heroes are Villans". Keep fighting, Sid.

In the early 1990s, Brazilian photojournalist Sebastião Ribeiro Salgado was assigned to document the genocide in Rwanda, an assignment that profoundly affected him.

Returning to his native Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1994, Sebastião hoped to reconnect with the verdant forests of his youth.

However, he was met with a starkly different reality – his once flourishing home had become a desolate, barren expanse, devoid of wildlife.

It was then that his wife, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, suggested the ambitious project of reforesting the entire area. Embracing this vision, Sebastião and Lélia spent the next two decades planting over 2.7 million trees.

Their efforts led to the restoration of 1,500 acres of rainforest, transforming the land into a biodiverse haven for 293 plant species, 172 bird species, and 33 animal species, including some that were nearing extinction.
