@tvchrisstewart Not only that the BBC has added its own utter b******* to it too. I thought I was watching the World Cup final. God knows what will happen at full time. Absolutely ridiculous

A truly remarkable photo which will stand the test of time and demonstrates how brilliant news photographers should be more valued than they are in too many newsrooms

Credit to Reuters’ @philnoble1 - that is a remarkable shot

Remember him at Newcastle too - a solid defender. RIP

@DBanksy Clickbait in regional brands with no relevance to that region; celebrity crap with no relevance to that region; a strategy to milk print to accelerate the rate of decline until it dies. So sad to see.

@1HowardWalker @NCLairport Crazy. I paid £103 for 14 days so figure the difference!

In April @NUFC head coach Eddie Howe was admitted to hospital with pneumonia.

Watch as he returns to the same hospital to thank the staff who helped him with his recovery 🫂

So sorry to read this. Cecil was a humble man who loved to talk football and golf. A top man. RIP

Ashington AFC Pays Tribute to Cecil Irwin

Ashington AFC is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Cecil Irwin at the age of 83.

Born in Ellington, Cecil was a highly respected figure in North East football. He made 351 league appearances for Sunderland AFC as a dependable and skilled right-back, enjoying a long and distinguished career at Roker Park.

After leaving Sunderland, Cecil became the player-manager of Yeovil Town before returning to the North East, where he played a significant role in the history of Ashington AFC. As both a player and manager, he took charge of the club on three separate occasions.

One of his proudest achievements came in 2001, following a memorable season that ended with Ashington being crowned champions of Northern League Division Two after 17 years outside the top division. Under Cecil’s leadership, the team won 25 of their 36 league games and scored an impressive 100 goals.

Away from football, Cecil was also a well-known face in the Ashington community through the newsagents he ran with his wife Margaret on Woodhorn Road.

Cecil’s passion for football and commitment to the game at all levels made him a true legend. He will be missed by everyone at the club and in the broader community.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

@KiMcGuinness @NorthumbriaNHS Happened to me many years ago. Scary but full recovery within a few weeks. Hope you’re able to get well soon.

This is just beautiful. A great advert for football fans, the North East and a talented young vlogger. Thanks for posting your daughter’s video Stephen.

A 90 second vlog (in the eyes of my 10 year old daughter) of our trip to Newcastle for the @bromleyfc match. Such welcoming people, amazing city and an incredible experience.

Saddened to learn Davie Laws has died. He was great fun as well as a brilliant chief exec and football referee. He was a champion of the North East and his contribution to the region’s business community went well beyond the airport.

@elonmusk Fair play for being a genius businessman but all the money in the world should not buy influence.

[paul robertson @paulrobbo1966]

@matthewsammons1 You had most chances but we took most of ours. NUFC way off the pace but unbeaten start to the season. Will take that.

[paul robertson @paulrobbo1966]

@meno_mentor So shocked to hear this. Worked with Wayne on The Journal back in the day. Very sad news.

[paul robertson @paulrobbo1966]

@TheQTonline It was a pleasure doing much of the production work on such a quality product run and written by quality people. A sad day for NE journalism

@politicseditor I hate viewspapers - sadly very few real newspapers nowadays (if any).

Always a delight to spend time with Jill Halfpenny, but it was a particular privilege to have a long chat about her extraordinary new memoir, A Life Reimagined

Read it in this week's edition of @TheQTonline - out today.
