It’s a genuinely sad time, however no sporting events or activities should be cancelled this weekend. People getting up and going to work or school as normal, then having their weekend leisure time taken from them doesn’t sit right with me. There’s no respect in forced mourning

He shouldn't have to, but Alex Bruce has defended his dad, Steve in the face of some very unfair criticism by BBC pundits tonight. Murphy and Gullit showed a real lack of knowledge of the situation and worse still, empathy Story here: #swfc

Being proud of your Irishness is one thing and I would never begrudge anyone that, but a boxer coming out to ‘ooh ah, up the RA’ is an awful, awful misjudgement. He wouldn’t do it in Belfast, so why there? Sport in Northern Ireland doesn’t need this kind of divisive behaviour

Imagine the pride you’d feel for that team if you were a Wigan fan. Not just tonight’s result, but the way they’ve been in the past few weeks. They’ve embarrassed a lot of teams with the balls they’ve shown; there are plenty of players and teams who would have thrown the towel in

This incident with Grealish - and the similar stuff that's gone on recently at games - isn't a football issue, it's societal. There appears to be a general rise in nastiness and anger in the country and football is, again, being used as a vent

I like this from McBurnie: “What makes me even more happy is that I think this group stands for the same values that the city has got - hard-working, no messing about but also really innovative. Down to earth and not up themselves too. And that means something. It really does.”
