I have been deliberately silent on social media for a while. I use all my social media platforms to promote education & make dreams come true for young minds. I rarely post anything about family or politics. This morning, Israel demolished the building I have an apartment in. It took 22 years of my work here & 20 years of my wife’s work to own this apartment. This madness has to stop.

At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.

The Irish nation has lost one of it's finest jewels. Dolores Keane has left us. Comhbhrón ó chroí le muintir Uí Chéin.

@IrishTimesSport A question: why is this an ‘unlikely racism row’ ?

@CahairOKane1 Interesting that Antonio Conte isn’t on that list.

If any team in any sport wants to get rid of their manager, they better be sure before they do it that the man replacing him is an improvement. There is no obvious replacement for Amorim that you can say will definitely make things better. That’s what makes this a mental decision

John Robertson, and an article I never wanted to write. RIP Robbo ❤️ nytimes.com/athletic/66935…

A valuable flute went missing yesterday from the owner's bike on the way to a lunchtime session in Cassidy's in Camden St. It has huge sentimental value and a reward has been offered. If anyone sees it, please send a DM. RTs appreciated.

The Northern Standard bows out after 186 years of reporting the news in County Monaghan. I understand copies of the final paper have been snapped up at the usual outlets so no chance of any returns this week when @ScotstownGAA fills the back page with their Ulster title win!
