A statement on yesterday….. Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round. I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything….. My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too Thank you all x

🇪🇸Looking forward to Spain away? 3515 England supporters will be located in the top tier at the Metropolitano, a brilliant set up, and what a stadium. There will be some key info for fans travelling out there soon.

Ahead of England’s game with Croatia tomorrow night in Rijeka, we reiterate our stance that collective punishments on supporters should not exist. The sanctions in place against our opponents should not impact England supporters, who should still receive the normal 5% allocation. England will have just 100 supporters in attendance via the FA’s delegate allocation. We will continue to raise this issue with UEFA through @FansEurope.

The FA have announced that 100 tickets will be available to ESTC members for the behind closed doors game against Croatia. All time caps will be used to determine who gets the tickets from those who register their interest. No caps will be awarded to those successful.

🇨🇿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Allocation confirmed for Czechia away at 1024. Hosts are confident they will sell all home end tickets, and the FA very much pushed for more in the meeting. We will be located in this corner below.

Too many people treat Argentina as this romantic love letter to football because of one player, Messi. They are a horrible, horrible team. Call it out. Don’t glorify what they are. A disgrace.

0 - Yesterday's final was the first time 🇦🇷 Lionel Messi started a FIFA World Cup match without creating a single chance for one of his teammates. Restricted.

Every Argentine player in the English Premier League who took part in this ugly anti-British display should be stripped of their UK work visa. There should be zero tolerance for this.
🚨🇫🇰 PICTURED: Argentina’s players hold up a sign saying “Las Malvinas” are Argentine This is factually inaccurate, as the Malvinas, officially named the Falkland Islands, are British

Not watched Eastenders in years, this randomly pops up on my timeline and Max Branning is still knocking about shagging anyone on the square. 😂😂
Not the boot-y call Priya expected. Watch the whole episode now on @BBCiPlayer ➡️ bit.ly/EastEndersiPlayer  #EastEnders

Vimos mexicanos abraçando coreanos e ingleses, alemães aplaudindo paraguaios, japoneses desejando sorte a brasileiros, franceses brincando com noruegueses.... Sempre que tem violência, racismo e confusão é com argentino. 🇦🇷
Argentina’s fans throw beer cans and curse Egyptian fans inside the stadium following Argentina’s goal.
