Seriously that is never a handball at Fir Park. The boy headed it 20 yards. The ref takes one look after VAR calls him over. Embarrassing for Scottish football.

A woman adopted two dogs from separate shelters 40 miles apart without knowing anything about their past, and the moment the second dog walked through the door both animals broke down crying and ran to each other — touching noses and whimpering in a way that stopped her cold. Calls to both shelters uncovered the truth: the two dogs had lived together for 6 years, been separated when their owner passed away, and had spent 9 months apart before a single person unknowingly brought them back together. Shelter staff said the odds of it happening by chance were almost impossible. They spent their first week refusing to separate by even a step, and still sleep pressed against each other every night as if they know how close they came to never finding each other again. Do you think something guided her to choose them both, or was it just the most unlikely luck imaginable?

An inquest in Belfast today found that the 1972 slaughter of a Catholic priest and two children by a British soldier was 'not reasonable' Fr. Noel Fitpatrick was described by the coroner as 'recognisable as a priest and also unarmed' when the British soldier murdered him

🚨BREAKING: New IRA suspected behind Dunmurry car bomb as PSNI officers rush two babies to safety 🗣Deputy Chief Constable Singleton has been speaking following the attack on Dunmurry Police Station. Shortly after 10.50pm last night, Saturday 25 April, a delivery driver’s car was hijacked in the Twinbrook area of west Belfast. A gas cylinder device was then placed in the boot, and the man was ordered to drive it to the police station. Mr Singleton told Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 the delivery driver is extremely shaken and will be offered support. The vehicle was abandoned outside the front of the station, and officers immediately activated the attack alarm. A number of residents, including two babies, were being taken to safety by officers when the device exploded, engulfing the vehicle in flames and sending debris in all directions. PSNI officers have been praised for their bravery. It comes just weeks after a similar attack on Lurgan Police Station.

@mooreholmes24 Unfortunately as you have no connection with our island , you will never experience the passion to support your county or local club. It’s in our blood , it’s only a sport , nothing more.

The wearing of GAA tops is less about a deliberate strategy to provoke or unsettle Unionists, although more would intend that than many would care to admit, and more about how central the GAA is within the cultural fabric of Republicanism. There is no denying the institution is an impressive one. Spreading right across the whole island and beyond. A genuine grassroots sporting body providing so many people, both young and old, the opportunity for camaraderie, community and competition. As great as all those things are, and they truly are great, none of it takes away from the GAA’s obvious and unavoidable controversial nature. Whether members realise or not, and many of them don’t, the GAA is inherently political - both historically and contemporarily. It’s in its DNA. It’s in its constitution. It’s all over the mechanics and paraphernalia of the institution. It’s downright ignorant and simply dishonest to pretend otherwise. Until GAA leadership and ambassadors tackle the ongoing glorification of terrorism within its institution, and surgically remove the political dimension within its own governance, it will never be viewed as truly inclusive - and why would it? If it continues to look the other way to sectarianism, allows clubs and cups to honour IRA killers, and advocate for political objectives, it will always be controversial, viewed with hostility by many, and never achieve the cross-community support that other sports enjoy. It has so much to learn from rugby and football, but instead, it brands them as “imported” or “foreign” games. The question really is; how much do those within the GAA leadership really care about that? It’s obvious that they don’t. In fact, they know their organisation is political, and view that as part of the GAA’s core identity. They don’t want to be like the FA, or even the Ulster Branch of the IRFU, which are genuine cross-community institutions. Setting all that aside, @JamieBrysonLLB recent remarks are valid. He is right in what he says. Unionists should be confident in who they are, but not by simply reacting to others. The British in Northern Ireland are equally proud of their culture, their colours, their institutions, and should have no hesitancy in expressing their identity with confidence and authenticity - without shame or restraint. Our post-conflict society had viewed cultural labels and single community symbols as controversial and sensitive. It went as far as perpetuating the idea that it would be considered offensive or inappropriate to wear or show such symbols. It’s fair to say that Nationalism, mainly a younger generation, has entirely discarded that mindset. And so they should. They are being unashamedly them - and fair play to them for it. Bryson’s point is more about encouraging Unionists to follow suit. Not reacting in petulance or provocation, but by being unashamedly themselves, with equal veracity. Be who you are. Wear whatever the hell you want. Do not hide your identity. Do not worry about “offence.” Proudly, and unashamedly, express that which is dear to you, and don’t do it just to poke someone else in the eye, but because it’s fundamentally part of who you are, and in turn, it will empower others to do the same. It will help cultivate and reinforce the confident, positive and proud community that is unashamedly British within Northern Ireland. No Surrender🇬🇧🇬🇧

This is scripted in the USA. It’s the rhetoric of right wing Christian Nationalism. No Irish person would EVER say "I'm a God-fearing patriot, and may God-fearing patriotism prevail in this fight against evil” in Ireland. God fearing is what they do in the OO. Scarlet for his Ma.

Conor McGregor: "An anti-Irish agenda is being carried out in Ireland, and it's heading toward a quake with the Public." "I warned about this, but Ireland is no place for new voices under its political cartel." "I'm for my Country. I'm a God-fearing patriot, and may God-fearing patriotism prevail in this fight against evil."

Cardinal Pizzaballa today celebrated mass in the Garden of Gethsemane with a relic of the True Cross. Beyond words how sad Christian prohibited from this Holy Week in Jerusalem.

@Pontifex What? He does not listen to the prayers of our President our military. Do we not think he would want us to defend against those who wage war on us and their own people? I’m confused

We turn our gaze to Jesus, who reveals himself as King of Peace, even as war looms abounds him. He remains steadfast in meekness, while others are stirring up violence. He offers himself to embrace humanity, even as others raise swords and clubs. #GospelOfToday

Thanks to everyone who backed a more inclusive Students’ Union. We stand by our concerns. This policy changes little and isn’t binding. We respect the result, but 20% turnout isn’t a mandate. We’ll keep fighting for all students, including Ulster-British & Ulster-Scots voices.
