@BBCNews It’s quite simple really: Cheating money grabbers with no conscience and no integrity and a negative role model to our young people. Shameful. Pathetic. Sad. Self-serving. Dishonest. Talk to your 12 year old self and ask: Am I proud of where I am? Sponsors, really?

🗣️ Romelu Lukaku: "I was 6 years old, and I came home for lunch after school. Mom had the usual on the menu: bread and milk. But that day, I came home, and Mom started mixing the bottle of milk with something else.
"She served me lunch with a smile as if everything was fine. But I understood what she was doing. She was mixing milk with water. We didn't have enough money to make the bottle last the whole week. We weren't just poor; we were broke.
"My parents, in the midst of misery, bet on me. They made huge efforts to take me to training. That's why I played that first World Cup match with a lot of anger, for many reasons: for the rats running through our apartment, because I couldn't watch the Champions League, we didn't have a TV.
I'd go to school, and all the kids would talk about the final. I had no idea what had happened. Everyone was talking about Zidane's volley. I pretended to know what they were talking about, for the classmates' parents who looked down on me because of my characteristics and condition."
"One day I asked my father at what age it would be ideal to debut in football, and to give me any age (I found this out years later), he said 16. I didn't stop until l achieved it. At that time, I was a substitute for Anderlecht, about to turn 16.
l approached the coach and asked him to bet on me. I promised him a certain number of goals, and if I didn't achieve them, he could bench me again. Indeed, at 16, I forced my debut. Not only did I score the promised goals, but I also became the top scorer in the national championship.
I scored 76 goals in 34 matches; I did them all with my dad's boots. From then on, I decided to be the best player in Belgium's history. Not good. Not excellent. The best."

A brief tiny memory about Manchán Magan, who passed away yesterday.
I guested on a series he did 20 years ago, and he noted that I had dropped the “fada” (the accent/diacritic) over the O in my name, which I had replaced with a capital O, just for ease of understanding in the UK. “Put it back” he said, “It should be there, proudly”
And ever since, yes, the fada has been back on the O on every poster and tour. Here it is, outside the Swansea Arena last night. That’s Manchán’s doing.

@Pat1Patrisse @dougleddin @Caolan_Scully No, just sad that cheating is the reason France won Patrisse but best of luck in the next game.

@TEnglishSport Are you really a Chief Sportswriter? Seriously? What a stupid comment to make. Look at the record, it is extremely difficult to win in Australia anytime. I take it you were on annual leave from being a Chief for the 1st and 2nd Tests?

@SBarnesRugby The Saints were amazing; stuck to their gameplan and backed themselves. Exciting rugby from them. Well done! Leinster supporter.

‘There are only so many learnings Leinster can take. They have the resources, they are effectively the Irish team with three superstars and they haven’t been able to it done’ - @jamieheaslip and @BernardJackman reflect on a shock Leinster loss

@sineadgibney A lovely reflection @sineadgibney and for sure he’d have been so happy to see you doing what you do.
