Our thoughts on this significant and poignant day, as always, are with all those affected by the tragedy at Hillsborough and we pause in memory of the 97 fans who will never be forgotten.

Greatness isn’t reaching the summit. It’s returning there. McIlroy just the fourth man to win back-to-back green jackets. But boy did he ride the Rory rollercoaster during that final round #TheMasters

Another utterly joyless performance by Liverpool. One of so many this season. Totally devoid of pace, passion or any real purpose. Spurs at their lowest ebb and LFC were oh so welcoming. Believers to doubters … enough already

Switched across to @BBCRadioScot on 90 mins in the vain hope it would somehow change 🏴’s fortunes, and heard 8 mins of absolute commentary gold from @Alasdair_Lamont and @BBCSportScot from Hampden - have a listen: glorious, glorious 🙌 🏆 🏴

Reflects very poorly on the American players that they are happy to stand by and listen to their own crowd abusing their opponents (and friends) when they’re lining up shots. These scenes with Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry do the #RyderCup no favours at all

RIP Val Kilmer. You’ll forever be Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky. Love this scene in Top Gun: Maverick where he incorporated his real-life illness into the role. Movie magic

Our youngest started school a week or so ago. He had his first assembly this week - learnt his first song. Tonight I heard him belting out ‘Sing Hosanna’ from his bath. Except he wasn’t. As I got closer I realised he was actually singing ‘Sing Mo Salah’. My work here is done 🤣

Congratulations to France and to Paris, not only for hosting a truly incredible #OlympicGames but for doing it in a way that combined sporting brilliance with the romance, spirit, beauty and the pure magic of Paris as a city. Magnifique!

Much will be written about Andy Murray’s legacy, rightly so - the trophies, medals, the glory - but he won so much more during a glorious career. He won hearts. I’ll remember his beautiful belligerence, his fight and his decency as a human being. Britain’s greatest sportsperson

The birth of a sporting phenomenon. Take a bow Leon Marchand. Two Olympic gold medals in the space of two hours. Most athletes would be happy with that in a career #OlympicGames #Olympics

Felt like end of a road at Anfield today. This Liverpool team looks out of steam, ideas and belief after a season of dramatic comebacks, injuries and, in truth, overachievement. Bullied by Palace 1st, LFC had loads of chances to win it 2nd half but, once again, so wasteful

What a man, what a football manager - Jurgen Klopp will be irreplaceable. Hard to sum up his impact at Anfield, his bond with the fans, his understanding of the city. A massive setback for Liverpool Football Club but the legacy he leaves goes way beyond trophies...

Jürgen Klopp has announced his decision to step down as #LFC manager at the end of the season, having informed the club’s ownership of his wish to leave his position in the summer.

Good to see the bookies have a sense of humour. Roy Hodgson at 100-1 to replace Jurgen Klopp. Abel Xavier 66-1 and Roy Keane at 50-1.
