I met Graeme Souness once, making a program about when he played Ali Dia in a premier league match.
As he waited for his cab, he leaned in, pointed his finger at me and said "Arsenal will NEVER win the league under Arteta. I've been around football all my life, take my word for it."
Extremely disappointing decision made by the Irish football team. It was their choice of course I just don’t agree with it. It feels like they have sided with the FAI, UEFA and the Irish government and not the Irish people
Irish footballers have a choice to play or not to play against Israel tonight. They are adults, grown men and it’s on them whether they play or not

Always enjoyed listening to what Bonnie Greer had to say; she was interesting & communicated with a style all of her own. My thoughts are with her family and friends. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam

Loved Dolly’s music for the longest time, a true global star whose singing and writing was magical.
It seems she was a genuinely nice person with a big heart too.
An antidote to the real dumb blonde that we have today.
There will never be another 👏👏👍

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.
Great stuff Mayo, crowded around an iPad in Italy, amazing. The Italians don’t understand why we’re leaping around but we do. Antrim for Liam McCarthy next year 🤣, why not? #GAA
South American football is embarrassing. They can give it but they can’t take it. Sunday morning football bullies. Referees throughput the tournament encouraged it.

Not impressed with Odegaard in this World Cup until tonight. I think he has been fantastic. Bellingham’s goal was the best moment but Odegaard hasn’t been easily the best player on the pitch #NORENG
I wouldn’t criticise Spain for not starting Merino but they will need to introduce him earlier against France (and it shouldn’t always mean taking off Olmo).
“Canvassing support from young catholics during recruitment drives but asking them to accept that historic black is white - that what their parents and grandparents witnessed didn’t happen - is a road to nowhere for the PSNI”
