@Celticcurio Cool dudes 😎

Daddy Daizen 😁

@celticrumours He’s got a swing like a flailing octopus. That one went about 180yds hard right into the 5th cut. Uncomfortable silence from everyone on the tee. Not Celtic class

@GNev2 Wonderful tribute to an amazing manager and football man. It’s great to hear it come from his ex players 👏

So sorry to hear the news of my very first England coach, Terry Venables. A man who gave me a chance to play for my country and became without a shadow of doubt my number one England coach in my whole career. There were three things that were important to me about Venables. The first is when we hear people that play for Pep Guardiola now say that he can call the outcome of a game in training a few days before the match arrives, Terry Venables had that very same capability, he’d come through the Barcelona system. In Euro 96 as a right back, I played as a conventional right back in the first match, the right of a back three in parts of the second match against Scotland and as a right winger when we were in possession through our goalkeeper in the third match against Holland and in the fourth match against Spain in the quarter final as a right wing back. The ability that we had to change systems during matches and from game to game was incredible, it blew my mind. England certainly needed more like him and it was a real sadness when he left at the end of Euro 96, I felt it never got as good again for England as it was under him. The second thing was that he was an unbelievable personality and character, larger than life. He was someone who was a players man, looked after his players, stood up for his players in big situations like the pre-96 trip to Hong Kong and the dentist chair incident. He was someone who the players trusted and had great faith in and he always spoke openly and he was a personality that was far too big for the then rigid and stiff FA football association and that’s why they got rid of him after Euro 96 and why the relationship ended. The third thing is what all great coaches need. He had an unbelievable ruthlessness and clinical side to him. We had brilliant leaders in that dressing room like Ince, Adams, Shearer, Platt, Gascoigne, Southgate and Seaman. He handled them all really strongly and they all knew who the boss was. There were many times where he would come in at half-time and call out one of the senior players and there were few England managers who could do that and Terry had that quality. I sit here today thinking back to my special times with Terry and can say he is without doubt the most technically gifted British coach we’ve ever produced.

We had a brilliant time. Not just a great bunch of footballers, but far more importantly; an amazing group of boys 💪

@Tiamat_Amagi @historyinmemes I lost my beloved boy Hibbert yesterday at age 14 and this poem made me smile with joy. Thank you. ❤️👏

The dog depicted below is Bobi, officially recognized by Guiness World Records as the world's oldest canine. Bobi celebrated his 31st birthday on May 11, 2023, after being born in Portugal. His owner, Leonel Costa, informed Guiness that Bobi has been receiving a great deal of attention since being crowned as the oldest dog in the world. "We've had a lot of journalists and people come from all over the world to take a picture with Bobi," Costa said in a statement. He also mentioned that Bobi, the senior pup, is in good health but recently underwent a check-up due to Costa's concerns about the stress caused by frequent visitors. Bobi belongs to the Rafeiro do Alentejo breed, a Portuguese dog breed known for its ability to protect livestock, according to Costa. As Bobi has aged, he has encountered difficulties in walking and a decline in his eyesight. Costa credits his dog's longevity, in part, to the "calm, peaceful environment" in which Bobi lives. In addition to being the oldest living dog, Bobi holds the record for the oldest dog ever recorded, as confirmed by Guinness. Costa was just 8 years old when his faithful canine companion came into the world. "Bobi is special because looking at him is like remembering the people who were part of our family and unfortunately are no longer here, like my father, my brother, or my grandparents who have already left this world," he expressed in the release.

@marknelsoncomic A low block. That patter can get in the bin.

Good chat in the football WhatsApp about terms that wankers have introduced to the game that can fuck off. Pivot and XG the main ones. What else?

@terrybnd Get well soon Terry

Unfortunately, I’ve not been well of late. I’m under strict doctor/specialist orders to ensure I get well despite my work commitments 🎥 Today I managed to get outdoors near home in Cumbria on my bike…this long lane resonated with me. A journey to recovery ❤️‍🩹 It cheered me up👍

Sad to share that my brother, Andy Graham, has passed away. Andy was a goalkeeper for various clubs from the late-70s to early-90s including @dundeeunitedfc @RaithRovers @KilmarnockFC @sligorovers and @Stirling_Albion being part of the latter's famous 20-0 victory over Selkirk.
