CLLR Darragh BUTLER (FF)

A look into what it might take to avoid relegation from the Premier League following another dramatic weekend in the race for survival 👀

🎙️⚪️📉 @jpearcefootball & @GKPaulRobinson react as Tottenham fall to Nottingham Forest Just one point above the drop… 😬 #BBCFootball #THFC

Delighted to open the new Newtown Bridge active travel link at Balheary Park in Swords. This €1.3m investment will provide safe, off-road access for players and the local community - a major improvement for safety in the area 🚶‍♀️🚲 @DarraghButler

At the new Swords Surgical Hub, pleased to confirm today it will be opening in June. This €36m facility will deliver 10,000 day procedures each year, with 4 operating theatres and state-of-the-art care, easing pressure on Beaumont and transforming local healthcare 🏥

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

Nottingham Forest have a deserved equalizer 🔴⚪ Dominguez finds the back of the net with a looping header to get the visitors level 🌳

How the fvck did I not know that!? 😭

'I hope anybody's not stupid enough to write us off.' ❤️

What a strike @RyanYates

PSR breaches get significant sporting sanctions. Undisclosed payments that involve “deception and concealment” get insignificant fines. Why? Column. open.substack.com/pub/henrywinte…

#NUFC were FORCED to sell Elliot Anderson for £35m. A year and a half later he is expected to fetch around £100m. Weve taken a £65m hit SO WE DON'T break the rules. Meanwhile actual rule breakers Chelsea win multiple PLs and cup, become a top 6 side with all the perks, £10m fine.

Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’. Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport? If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.

@martynziegler One rule for the so-called Big 6. Points deductions for the others.

Updated: Chelsea receive £10.75m fine from Premier League for secret payments to players + unlicensed agents during Abramovich era. £47.5m spent off the books to sign Hazard, Ramires, David Luiz, Willian, Eto'o, Schurrle, Matic. thetimes.com/sport/football…

We recently welcomed a special guest to the training ground to mark an important moment. Six-year-old Noah was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in December 2023. Having overcome the illness, Noah wrote to the club asking if he could celebrate by ringing the bell with the squad. ❤️

I cried today. First of all for Kimi, who deservedly won his first race. 👊🏼Secondly, for F1. It fucking sucks! #ChineseGP 🇨🇳 #F1
