@AndyMitten That amad pen was the game right there. Two goal swing

AFCB 2 MUFC 2. Cracking game for a neutral. Of which few of you are. Thought it was a pen on Amad before Bournemouth went up the other end and got a pen.

@MarcAbouAb1579 Is this letter written on brick? Can you read it? And if you can read it, how did you learn it My cousin, an archaeologist, can read some Phoenician inscriptions.

Yes one person can change the world. At least sometimes

@AmiDar I agree. But our government has no teeth and cannot act without critical backing of speaker of house (Hizb ally). I despair from this malfunction, dysfunction and paralysis.

@srichani @nadimhoury It’s the tradition. Love it. They used to knock on our doors at the end of the month “أنا المسحراتي ".

Amidst the destruction,deaths & misery, this made me smile. A Mosaharati in #Beirut wakes people before dawn for their pre-fast meal. Man filming notes cynically that everyone was up anyway due to Israeli rockets targeting residential buildings nearby.

@heraldgardner Agree for the most part . It was the ruin of us. But How do we explain عون in this narrative?

ليست القضية الفلسطينية في لبنان مجرّد التزام مبدئي، بل أداة سياسية في الصراع على السلطة. فمن غطاءٍ لظهور قوى مسلّحة خارج الدولة في السبعينيات، إلى عنوانٍ لـ“المقاومة” في مرحلة لاحقة، تحوّل هذا الخطاب إلى رافعة الإسلام لإعادة تشكيل موازين القوى الداخلية و الهيمنة على المسيحيين. القضية الفلسطينية في لبنان ادات الإسلام المعنوي و الفعلي للتحكم بالسلطة المركزية من “منظمة التحرير” إلى “المقاومة الإسلامية ”، من السنة إلى الشيعة تغيّرت الشعارات لكن الوظيفة بقيت واحدة: تحكم الملة بالسلطة المركزية و الاستحواذ على ثروات المسيحيين

@MarcAbouAb1579 Thank you for that explanation. Our local colloquial Arabic has smattering and echoes of the Phoenicians more than 2000 years later. You still hear it in the names of our towns, food, and religious hymns among other things

في هذه المخطوطة الفينيقية العائدة الى حوالي القرن ٤ ق.م. التي وُجدت في مدينة مرسيليا الفرنسية في ١٨٤٥، تتضمن لائحة بالهدايا المقدمة من الفينيقيين الى معبد بعل-تصافون الفينيقي في مدينة مرسيليا؛ ومن بين هذه الهدايا طبق ممزوج بالحليب والزيت، والافت استخدام فعل BaLaLu في اللغة الفينيقية والذي يعني المزج والذي منه استُخرجت كلمة "العناصر الممزوجة" MutaBLaLu والتي تعني في اللغة اللبنانية المتبل ومن هذا الفعل استُخرجت كلمة "تبولة" والتي تعني المكونات الممزوجة بالزيت والخضار والقمح. #الفينيقيون #التاريخ #جبيل #صيدا #صور #لبنان #فرنسا.

@Sachk0 Wikipedia says he joined Den Haag in 2024. Typo

An all-time interview! 😎🚬 Finland international Diogo Tomas after helping ADO Den Haag secure Eredivisie promotion for the first time since 2021. Even referring to himself in third person 😂

@BeirutCalling In the end, people end up rallying behind their sects and chieftains in Lebanon. No such thing as patriotism or communal good. History is witnessing

Yes, Hezbollah is facing major anger from within the Shiite community, but my sense is that this will slowly be absorbed in light of the fact that the community feels besieged, isolated, an rejected at home—for many reasons we can go into—as well as threatened from Syria. Hezbollah may ultimately benefit from this deep sense of anxiety. Lebanon’s sectarian politics can hold many surprises. Just look at the Lebanese Forces and Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement, who devastated the Christian community, before becoming major Christian parties after the Syrian withdrawal in 2005: washingtonpost.com/world/2026/03/…

@JanAageFjortoft On one hand I can how they want to discourage teams walking off the field. Setting an example. But they should have done it the next day, at the latest.

Does anybody know when the verdict for the World Cup final 1966 will be in? Has West Germany still a chance? Was the ball over the line?

@Narreddine @Saghbiny my Druze grandfather (b 1890) used to tell me in 1983 during حرب الجبل “don’t pay too much attention to this war, we can’t live without the Christians. We will live with each other again”. I was 19 and thought he was crazy. Turned out he had perspective of time/history

With all due respect to Tony and his general efforts for the Maronite Cause. I generally disagree with any "eternal victim" approach to narrative. I believe a revision is apt for the chapters on the Druze Maronite Clash of 1840-1860 (Page 76), and The Mountain War (Page 154). Which are in my honest review subjectively one-sided and one-narrative-laden. 🔺The Druze Maronite Clash (p76): In general lack of clarification of context: - Omission of the Tobia Aoun role. - No mention of the fact that the Druze were outnumbered 7 to 1 and aggressed first (Baabda). - The superiority of Druze on their own heartland was being challenged and not otherwise. (Iyad Boustany's book has a chapter on this) - There is a detailed historical event log (day by day) of the Destruction of the Damascus Christian Quarters 1860 and the participation of Druze is not mentioned. 🔺The Mountain War (p154): - Claiming that it is the wound that never healed is fatalistic in rhetoric. There has not been a Druze-Christian strife or incident since. Relations are amicable. - Not mentioning the Massacre of Salima against Druze, the first unwarranted massacre in the chain. - Not mentioning Southern Mount Lebanon as the Druze Heartland, and no Druze incursion on Maronite Heartland(recurring historical pattern). And that the ethnic cleansing incursion was from the LF and LAF and not otherwise, and started with the Shahhar Massacre (LF slaughtering their Druze allies not foes). - "Biggest Genocide in Modern History"? Seriously? - A general pattern of claiming reactions as actions without proper context. - No mention of the safe return of Christians to the Chouf and Aleyh, i.e. ending on a misleading bad note. I look forward to the next volume, and I hope that it comes forth with projecthood and a different and not one-sided nuance for the future of the mountain.

@NicoSchira And @ManUtd ready to sell

@_NickNewell_ Real Madrid? That is a big ask

Call me crazy. But apart from PSG. I think United could beat all these teams left in the Champions League. Have to keep Bruno next season.

@tomsan106 Coaches did not teach our boys how to defend free kicks, corners or set up offsides. Very little technique taught. My kids and their friends learned more playing with each other on the street and with me in our backyard than the 10 yrs they spent with their coaches. Racket for $

Soccer in the U.S. is a sport dominated by wealthy families. The system is designed to extract as much money as possible, while many parents have no idea what real player development looks like. They end up spending thousands of dollars, only to stand on the sidelines frustrated, shouting, because despite the investment, their child struggles with basic skills like executing a simple one-two pass or changing direction with the ball, even without pressure. 🤷‍♂️⚽️
