What have you done in the past five years that would merit a press conference, Ed? Efforts to secure a Blue Peter badge later in life specifically excluded?

Great, and overdue, but the honour is still at least two levels down from where it needs to be. Delighted that Kevin Sinfield finally got his long overdue recognition but while you have the sword out…..

Lizzie’s strengths may well lie more in literature and intrigue rather than mathematics or statistics.

Who is trying to impose “radical Christianity” on you Bob @Bbmorg ?

Agree or disagree with the overall sentiment all you like but it’s difficult to knock a tweet that has sincerity baked into every vowel!!

The Trevor Phillips show has taken just one week to reduce itself to ‘just the usual modern political interview formula’ where continuous interruptions and attempts to points score on the part of the interviewer are far more important than the interview itself. #SkyNews

…and the Oscar for the most unique take in a football related topic goes to…. If ever there was an open and shut case for self-sabotage (and even that doesn’t go far enough for some) this is it. Still, could be worse, it might have affected the actual outcome.

Serious bid for a lad who was ‘restricting Phil playing in the middle’. Ah well!!

Educational TV for a Sunday morning. @TrevorPTweets explains the Peter Principle using live illustrations.

The best example of not celebrating too early.

I’m going to go all out ‘Charlie Adam’ on this one and say it will be the signing of the season.

Amen to all of that. We have had lots of great times since then but Kevin was the manager that made us relevant again. A true one off @BeersnBlues

That’s tremendous! Can he also name the three biggest factors impacting the cost of living in Derry?

Pseudo code for he thinks we’ve all collectively lost our minds (he’s 100% right) but he has a contract where ‘holding back the tides’ serves no usual purpose.

Antisemitism runs rife across Ireland like a disease. It has pervaded society so deeply that they are blinkered to the truth and accept lies and propaganda as gospel. Equating Russia and Israel whilst happily playing Qatar only serves to highlight this point.

Hats off to the guy.

I can't remember anything quite like this, at any time in my lifetime. I suspect that, outside of some of the more irredentist Arab states, there hasn't been a state-mandated campaign of defamation — and let's call it what it is, anti Jewish hate-mongering — on such a scale and for such a prolonged period since late stage Weimar Republic Germany. Our media in general (almost all of whom relay on government payment) and especially the government broadcaster, RTE, seem to only reluctantly cover anything other than Israel. It's reached such degree of myopic focus that it can only be described as monomaniacal. Most worryingly it disgraces us as a people. I would be less bothered if RTÉ were doing this on their own steam, but the fact that they are a state-funded broadcaster makes it worse. We are now looking at a lost generation here. A generation of young people who've been so propagandised that there isn't even a western contemporary point of comparison. It will take a long time to de-radicalize large sections of the Irish population from the effects of this state mandated brainwashing. It's disastrous for us and subsequent generations will try, and fail, to live this down long after we’re all gone. These are dark days for Ireland and we as a people will be tainted by the antics of a select few members of official Ireland in the media, academia, and politics for decades to come. The darkly comic backdrop to this is that its happening in the aftermath of Ireland having just played an entirely optional, and pointless, friendly against the slave state of Qatar, one of the middle east's top two funders of terrorism who hosted the architects of October 7th, the event with precipitated all the tragic loss of life in the Gaza conflict over the last few years. I no longer have the foggiest what will do us the most damage, playing Israel, or not playing them. I'm beyond even arguing about whether that game should go ahead or not. I suspect that official Ireland has poisoned the well so completely now that the prospect of this match taking place fills me with pure foreboding and dread.

Just observing the refereeing in the Conf League final. This guy is light years above anybody operating in the Prem. Not falling for any of the ‘nonsense’ #uefa

If only there was a bi-election we could organise……

Iran - 45k civilians in two days. Syria - who knows how many Christians slaughtered over a few short months? Nigeria - stick a finger in the air and multiply it in terms of the atrocities …but none of it suits the narrative of the greatest lie in our lifetime, does it Ewan?
