Good evening everyone.

"You can't strip the titles the players won them fair and square on the pitch." They weren’t ON the pitch fair and square though were they, they were there because of the money.

I cannot ever forget how the marching bands refused to be silent, as requested, going past the house where the mother of those three murdered boys took refuge in the weeks after her unthinkable loss. A small detail that exposes everything this march is for.

Those men should go home, take their toasters out of the cupboard and while waiting for their bread to brown have themselves a nice traybake. And hopefully choke on one of them.

The Secretary of State of Northern Ireland is such a completely pointless position. Every few months they are appoint some random English politician who knows the square root of fuck all about Northern Ireland. They go to NI maybe a handful of times for photo ops and they then get a new job

"I don't think any elected politician should be supporting an illegal protest" Chris Bryant (the secretary of state for Northern Ireland) says Michelle O'Neill (the first minister of Northern Ireland) is wrong to stand with people defending their community.

Feel that the match should not be taking place today. Think that the primary football villain here is UEFA for selective enforcement of their rules. While I'd have supported and applauded the players for refusing to play I find it hard to feel anything venomous towards them for failing to do so.
