So in running the Belfast Marathon I raised a final total of €3,518 and my employer paid in an extra £500 in matched funding for Pieta.
Huge thanks to all who donated for your fantastic genorosity, you're all legends :-)
More info on what Pieta do here:
Klopp's mother died of covid and he couldn't go to her funeral. He's advocating that people listen to medical professionals and get vaccinated. The fact that this is seen as a 'controversial' stance tells you all you need to know about the level of ignorance permeating society.
Imagine if your biggest problem in life was a bit of a traffic delay on the M50 going to work, and it getting you so annoyed you complain about protestors whose houses are literally crumbling. They pay the same taxes as you, show some human empathy and catch yourself on.
This guy worked with the Liverpool squad on mental strength in pre season, Klopp invited him. Really interesting fella. Mad as a box of frogs like, but fair fucks.
The absolute nerve of these cunts.
The HSE lecturing people in Donegal?
Gravely ill people here with cancer have to take a 4 hour ride on a bus (funded by local fundraising )for treatment in Galway.
How about prioritising that- you shameless fuckers.
If the situation in Donegal does not improve, Dr Tony Holohan says they will need to step up the advice to the people who live there. ‘A lot of work needs to be done in Donegal, and we’ll be doing it’. | Read more:
Little did we know as we set out from the Stone Jug on Saturday morning for a walk along your beloved Lough Swilly you were in your final hours.
As fine a man & as great a friend as you will ever find.
We'll miss you for the rest of our days Brian 😪
Said goodbye to a dear friend today.
Andy was killed by the curse that is depression.
He will be sorely missed.
Folks, if you know someone who is down talk to them, be there for them, let them know you care.
Sleep well my friend we will miss you more than you ever know xx

17 million out of a population of over 60 million. Your math is as clueless as your politics.
Looking forward to taking back control? Stockpiled food and medicine. Glory days!
End of the decade, end of an era. Mammy & Daddy closing up in Cards N Candies tonight & finally taking a well earned retirement.
Great memories of that shop, we all worked in it at some point, while craic through the years.
Good to luck to Seamus & Sharon who are taking it on!
Its the 6th of August, which means its 39 years to the day since Mary Grant sent the greatest letter ever written to a bank in Belfast from the Old People's home in Crawfordsburn.
What a woman.
One day a man recorded himself stopping a lorry from delivering & posted it on Facebook. Turns out his anger was matched & bubbling under the surface throughout Donegal. He lit the fuse, called it out and it has erupted. International media now involved.

Utd suffering now because of Ferguson's one off genius. The club needed a sporting director after he left, they need to agree on a style and recruit accordingly. The manager handpicking targets that Ed Woodward then doesn't like and can overrule is never going to work.
One of the great things about the modern age is that fans in the ground sometimes capture moments in time like this from these angles.
Can only imagine some of the stuff people saw the likes of Finney, Eusebio. Maradona, Pele, Cruyff etc do from the stands.
Glorious Messi.
And Djimi Traore has more European Cups than your club in its entire history.
Make sure you take a big flag to Istanbul to cover all the empty seats like at Wembley.
You sportswashed, pitch invading, 115 charges tinpot bums.
I played one season at Cockhill underage when Aileach had no team. My 1st training session was taking a corner and played it short to Paul McIlroy. Mickey Gill blew straight away & shouted "none of that Alieach fucking about Henderson, put it in the box" 🤣
RIP Mickey, top man.
Neville is right, but his point is undermined by being broadcast via the company that are the original kingpins of greed in English football. Extortionate subscriptions and ordinary fans being priced out of tje game they love started in earnest in 1992.
Over 6,000 signatures on that petition for
@donegalcouncil
to stop using Cassidy's blocks following the MICA scandal. Outrageous that it's needed, homes falling apart & still using the company who caused it? Fair play to that Diver man, he's 100% right, enough of the piss-taking.
Big thank you to
@LUFC
for including a tribute to our late cousin

in tonight's match programme. Classy stuff.
He's looking down on the promotion push and willing you boys on!

10 years married tomorrow! A hot air balloon trip outside Prague this evening to celebrate was amazing. Flew over the chateau where Franz Ferdinand resided up to his death as well. Pretty fantastic. Would recommend it to anyone!
Tight mornings work!! Great experience, last 8 miles were very tough. Thanks a million for all the sponsorship and genorosity and to
@Freight_NI
(who had an amazing PB of 3.35)
@McCayEamon
great run! And

for putting up with all the training and me melting her head!!
Joey Barton's brother Michael Barton & his cousin Paul Taylor followed Anthony Walker & murdered him with an ice axe because he was black.
A few months ago Barton described it as a "scrap".
He's a scumbag & disgrace of a man.
He should never be platformed on TV again.
RIP
@KHendersonIrl
One of the great Buncrana men who was taken from us far too young.
My cousin, friend & an absolute giant of a man. He done so much for Inishowen.
He was a huge
@LUFC
fan.
Photo of him here at the Billy Bremner statue.
He loved that great Leeds side ❤
Seeing some folk saying their taxes shouldn't be used for Mica redress. So, your taxes were used to bail out banks and to pay the biggest politician pensions in the world year after year..but you draw the line at them being used for Irish citizens whose homes are crumbling?
As with every disaster, there are those who will profit. Donegal families whose homes are crumbling around them have to fork out €5,000-€7,000 for a test. To have the composition of some bricks analysed!
This profiteering must stop, the government needs to intervene urgently.
One year now since the main man left us far too soon due to the scourge that is cancer.
Lovely tribute by the Amazing Grace group in the town.
RIP Kieran ❤

A team that had 97 then 99 points in consecutive seasons winning a league and European Cup aren't a great team? OK Samuel, whatever you say..

@AdamP1242
Maybe because random businesses are not unique historic institutions integral to the community like football clubs. This head in the sand nonsense defence does you no favours, we get it- shiny new players, more chance of trophies...but worth selling your soul for?
Imagine living the life Jack Charlton did, all that success, winning a World Cup alongside your brother, becoming a legend in another country taking them to their first World Cups and Euros...and then losing all those memories. Dementia is as cruel as it gets 😪
Thoughts & prayers with the bar staff/ taxi drivers of Ireland tonight as Black Eye Friday hits. Once a year drinkers complaining about prices, lightweights getting ready for a scrap after 4 pints. Folk refusing to pay fares as its gone up a Euro since last year.
You are heroes!
Anyone who thinks Man Utd are three players away from a title challenge...i don't know what to say. I remember thinking Ince and Leonhardsen would fix Pool's problems. Loyalty blinds you. Fitness wise/tactically/personality/ personnel wise..Utd are miles away. Absolutely miles.
@DeanClarkson14
I'm not embarrassed. I'm not a sheep-like half wit like you are. Someone who thinks multi millionaire press barons and spivs have your best interests at heart. They all ran a mile after the vote- that should have been a clue. If you watch the news. Driving off a cliff & proud.
Impossible to overstate the impact Jack Charlton had on football in Ireland. The 1990 World Cup in particular gave young and old some of the greatest memories of our lives, it was just a magical time.
An English and Irish legend.
R.I.P Big Jack ❤❤❤
@JimAllister
You angry Michelle O'Neill and Alex Maskey were getting on great with Charles and that she's going to the funeral too?
You're such an incredibly bitter and sad little man.
Let it go. Move on. Its 2022.
@MorganBroadcast
I work for a bank and look at fraud cases every day. This is fraud. You are entitled to it all back. Complain, & go to the ombudsman if not refunded. You didn't do these transactions, this is nowhere near the bar for gross negligence, its theft
@santanderuk
should be refunding.
Won't be mentioned much but Wijnaldum showed what a creative 6 can offer for the equalizer and deciding goal.
Takes the ball under pressure, turns and gives the ball to Ox who sets up Mo for the Mane ball. These things win games.
En tidig söndagsmorgon i Nordatlantens friska kustvindar ska kärleken till sporten prövas. På allvar. Det är match, men hemmalaget kommer direkt från en julfest med lite för många pints.

We need politicians who command respect, have integrity and reach out across the divide. The way The Jackal does. Top stuff 👏
Happy New Year folks.
Remember Twitter is just a laugh & although things can get feisty there are loads of great people on here & great craic had.
Hope 2021 brings you & your family peace and joy. If in a dark place, I hope the light shines brightest of all for you.
Great day as usual at Belfast marathon, great buzz and support from the public. Only 2nd leg this time maybe full one next year again?

BBC coverage on red button really good- even got on the telly!

They are working, the numbers of cases compared to this time last year and the hospitalisations/deaths data link is overwhelming- but the go to move to protect our hopelessly inadequate ICU situation when cases spike is always to hit the pubs. It just makes no sense.

@Carra23
Maddison's post game interviews are great, the one at the weekend was really good as well. Makes a change from the robotic cliche stuff.
Days like today when the missus starts her summer hols (she's a teacher) I feel very jealous. But I'll tell you one thing, the work her and her colleagues have put in this year- they deserve every second of them.
