It was an emotional unveiling of Sam O'Shea's memorial plaque at Commonwealth Park this morning. His father Paul thanked Sam's friends from Gibraltar Cycling, following their ride around the Rock. Sam represented Gib in the Commonwealth Games.

Read the entire thread! #UEFA must react to stamp out this politically inflammatory behaviour by the Spanish team which could incite fans at future clashes @England @UEFA

.@GibraltarGov says chant of 'Gibraltar es Español' by the Spanish team during onstage celebrations in Madrid last night are "rancid" & "totally unnecessary mixing of a great sporting success with discriminatory political statements that are hugely offensive to Gibraltarians".

The “Gibraltar español” chants from Spain’s squad, & supporters, is not only an unacceptable & out-of-place political statement but an embarrassment. Beyond the immaturity, it serves only to divide & create mistrust; a setback exposing to young generations Spain’s prejudices.

Mixing a sporting victory and the chant that glorifies the dictatorial politics of a mass murderer like Franco and his fascist regime's attempt to usurp a neighbouring territory, that is also a UEFA nation, is worse than disgusting. It sullies the sport of football and the win on the pitch. I fully support @GibraltarFA making a complaint to @UEFA about this behaviour by some Spanish players in celebration of winning @EURO2024. This cannot stand unchallenged. The Rock is OURS. #BritishForever #BritishWeAreBritishWeStay #WakeUpAndSmellTheCoffee #GibraltarWillNeverBeSpanish

Que triste que @AlvaroMorata se acuerde d Gibraltar en un momento tan especial para España tras convertirse en merecidos campeones de Europa. Hay que saber ganar con clase y usar la fama para unir a los pueblos y no dividirlos con discursos políticos anticuados. Un saludo 🇬🇮

When 2 Madrid-born players urge the crowd to sing political statement “Gibraltar is Spanish” this isn’t football, celebration or the signs of a New Spain. As role-models it sends a clear message to young people that old Franco-style views that ignore our rights as a 🇬🇮people are OK. They aren’t. That Rodri earns & Morata earned their habichuelas in England is beyond irony @marca @ManCity @ChelseaFC

Rodri vuelve a recordar Gibraltar... y Morata le recuerda que juega en Inglaterra 🤣🤣🤣 #C4MPEONES

Wonder how ⁦@UEFA⁩ will deal with the Spanish football team’s political rant in their celebrations given that wearing a non political poppy by the England team was worthy of a £35k fine by FIFA. FIFA fines home nations over poppy displays - ESPN espn.co.uk/football/story…
