Simon Harris on RTE six one news saying because of the fuel protestors “cancer treatments can’t go ahead”.

Using cancer treatment as a weapon is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

Threatening the fuel protesters with the army was the final straw.

The government has relit the fire inside the Irish people.

Big mistake.

The people are uniting against the traitor politicians 🇮🇪

A self-described jihadist who set fire to a pub owned by @TheNotoriousMMA and later stabbed a garda on a Dublin street while shouting 'Allahu Akbar' told detectives he was inspired by the founder of Isis, Musab al-Zarqawi.

This is what they're letting into Ireland.

Alan Smith broke his leg and dislocated his ankle blocking a shot for this club. 🔴
He looked at a career-ending injury and decided it was just a "delay" in his service to the badge. 🫡

They told him he’d never walk properly again. He came back and won the League. 🏆

The Day the Earth Shook at Anfield"

"Imagine blocking a shot so powerful it literally snaps your leg in half and dislocates your ankle at the same time.
The stadium goes silent. The medical staff is white as ghosts. Sir Alex Ferguson later called it the worst injury he’d ever seen. They said he’d be lucky to walk without a limp. Alan Smith said, 'Pass me my boots.' 1😁

February 18, 2006. Anfield. Alan Smith threw his body in front of a John Arne Riise thunderbolt. The damage was so catastrophic that even the Liverpool fans our fiercest rivals gave him a standing ovation as he was carried off. They knew they were watching the end of a career. 🔴🚑
The surgeons told him he would never play at the top level again. The bone was shattered, the ligaments were gone. The kind of damage that normally comes with the words “you should start thinking about life after football.”

But Smith didn’t see an ending. He saw a detour.
Before the injury, he was a striker. A runner. A man who chased defenders all over the pitch. But he knew something had changed. His body wouldn’t move the same way again.
So he adapted. Quietly. Patiently.
Months of brutal rehabilitation followed. Painful sessions. Slow progress. Days when the leg refused to cooperate. Plenty of people doubted he’d ever return to the highest level. But....

Seven months later, he walked back onto the pitch at Old Trafford.
Not the same player. As a different one. He moved deeper into midfield. Less sprinting. More grit. More tackling. More presence.
He traded goals for battles.
And that season, Manchester United went on to win the Premier League.
The same player many believed would never walk properly again stood there with a winner’s medal. ❤️🖤🤍

Not because the injury disappeared.
But because his spirit refused to.

The Take
Football remembers goals.
But sometimes it remembers something deeper.
It remembers the moment a player threw his body in front of a shot without a second thought.
It remembers the silence of a stadium that realized what it had just seen.
And it remembers the man who came back anyway.
Not the same.
But still standing.

A Thought for United fans
Every squad goes through injuries. It’s part of the game.
But stories like Alan Smith’s remind you what this club has always been about.
Players who refuse to disappear when things get hard.
Players who adapt, fight, and find another way to serve the badge.

Because at #MUFC, setbacks have never been the end of the story.
Sometimes… they’re just the beginning of the comeback... ..#GGMU #Manchesterunited ❤️

[Rio Ferdinand @rioferdy5]

Just sat & watched this back…
At the time, I never realised the aura that was within the club then...imagine looking in on that...Sir Bobby, Sir Alex, Best in the world/entertaining CR7, most apps in club history Giggsy etc.....
Mental 😱🔥

Waiting on the name of the "Irish" Garda stabber with great anticipation. How on earth are they going to spin this one? Fun times ahead.

[MichaeloKeeffe @Mick_O_Keeffe]

🚨 BREAKING!

The media told you the man who stabbed the garda was an Irish man, does Abdullah Khan sound Irish to you?
