Whatever about the other two, I'll have a hard time getting over the fact I won't see Phil Thompson losing his shit during Liverpool games despite being barred from covering Liverpool games.

My last day after 5 years
@JOEdotie
today.
Will miss this rabble of chancers, ne'erdowells, vagabonds, charlatans and bounders dearly as I spend more time with the world's best baby boy.

Some stray observations from a psychiatric hospital ward...
You’re encouraged to change your own bed linen. Upon learning this I may or may not have considered just taking the mental illness, cutting my losses and returning home. 1/15
We lost my dad yesterday, suddenly. I’ve been trying to think only of the good in people, particularly after what happened in Dublin yesterday, and he was the very best of them.
UEFA confirm disciplinary proceedings have been opened following the European Qualifiers group D match between Republic of Ireland and Georgia. Play was held up for 3 minutes after fans protesting at FAI vice president John Delaney threw tennis balls on the pitch
If you’re in any doubt about Brian Kerr’s skills as a co-commentator, listen to him sum up Kolarov’s free-kick.
This is one of the best voices in football. Cherish him and wonder why Jim Beglin gets the big gigs.

I’d be embarrassed to tell any freelancer we’ll pay them in exposure. Keep us in mind at JOE for any future videos like this, Gareth. Can’t guarantee we’ll use it, but if we do we’ll pay for it.
Dear work,
My wife just sent me a screengrab of someone shortening the word 'social' to 'sosh', so I've taken a weakness and will be in bed for the next month. You won't see me.
Best,
Tony.
Once met
@planetjedward
on a flight back from Amsterdam and sorry to burst everyone’s bubble, but... they were lovely and bought their mam some perfume from the air steward.

I’m pretty certain this revelation, and subsequent Twitter storm, will form the basis of a college thesis in years to come.
Two completely unrelated tweets popped up side-by-side to leave my grippe-riddled head completely bamboozled this morning. Thanks
@matthaig1
and
@scattermoon
for the glorious confusion.
A man and a woman just called to my door asking me how I view the future of Ireland “on such a bleak day”?
I managed to keep my composure and replied, “If you see this, of all days, as a bleak day for the country I’d ask you to step away.”
Off they went.

Finally starting Season 1, Episode 1 of Ben and Holly. Full review coming soon for The AV Club. Early impressions: formulaic two dimensional characters, but loving the skewed narrative.
Last day working
@concern
today after a year with a brilliant team.
Note to Jürgen Klopp: Now that I'm a free agent, I'm more than happy to provide experienced goalkeeping cover for your experienced goalkeeping cover. Slide into my DMs there like a good lad.
33 years of an obsession with Liverpool FC means I can’t ignore this game, but I don’t have to like it and I’m going to keep giving it the frowning of a lifetime.
Dance around it all you like. If you voted for Peter Casey you’re not fed up, you’re not giving two fingers to the looney left, you’re not tired of ‘the PC brigade’, you’re not sick of being told what to think.
You just don’t like minorities, and you’re racist.
And there I was like an EEJIT, thinking it was possible to be flamboyant and outrageous without placing one’s hands on another person’s genitalia without permission.
Therapist: So, what’s on your mind?

Therapist: I see.
The world would be a much better place were it not for superior, sanctimonious and hurtful commentary like this. Never mind the fact that she’s also just plain wrong.
