Danny & I did one season of late nite #nfl together, tho I knew him from writing for his brilliant Total Sport mag. It took time to get our balance right but the best part for me was our off-air riffing on everthing from politics to music to Alex's latest col. A true master. RIP

Devastating news about @dannykellywords . One of the world's good people, so funny and generous and smart. One of the great privileges of my life has been to be in the company of the two Dans enjoying their time together. 💔

What a fantastic day at Windsor Castle to receive my MBE from Prince William. I was dead nervous beforehand, but was then ok chatting with him about football and our work with the homeless over the last 10 years at the Macari Centre.

Words can’t do justice to the wit, charm and passion of Danny Kelly.
If you have the chance today, listen to 4m 38s of the most wonderful radio.
It’s Gordon’s bow tie. And it’s the perfect reminder of the joy that Danny brought to football.
RIP

Properly sad news about Danny Kelly. A great fella with the most infectious love of football going, tons of knowledge and curiosity too. As well as the years of radio (lots of it broadcast from St Mullins!) I absolutely loved Under The Moon, which got cut far too soon. Flew the flag for Carlow for years and a huge athletics fan. You couldn't say more than that. RIP

One other thing. Ireland's the only country I know of that has a sponsor on the replica kits. It's always been a bit... disappointing.
Unexpected football kit of the week, no 175. No advertising allowed on the BBC. (Should have used red tape instead of white) #TOTP

Hey Claude, give me an example of a football governing body with a tin ear.
I started this account in 2016 to bring back memories for people who enjoyed football on TV before it got as saturated as it is today.
It’s something that I enjoy doing, and I hope many people out there enjoy what I post. I don’t post for financial gain, only for the memories from when I was a kid growing up with Saturday and Sunday afternoon highlights and the occasional live game. So I was amazed and astonished to wake up this morning to find my account locked because of two small highlights I posted yesterday which X disabled. Both were from 1972 West Ham v Man City and Leeds Utd v Nottm Forest, but what I couldn’t understand was that it was the Premier League that complained.
Could someone please explain to me what the problem is regarding this issue, and why it effects the Premier League so much they have to complain when it’s 20 years before their time?
Jess Thorup gone from Genk (again). Previous time there he left unbeaten after six games to rescue FC Copenhagen and ended up winning the league with them. Good manager, that’s a pity.

Union St Gilloise do it again. Ross Sykes their late salvation for a 1-0 win to go top into the international break. Solid, but not spectacular. The other big result of the weekend very much going their way. #USGGNK
Genk did not have an attempt on target. A major telling-off from some supporters after losing back-to-back games. #USGGNK
Back for more live action on DAZN everywhere. Union St Gilloise aiming to go top, facing Genk who are trying to get their European aims back on track. KO In 15. #USGGNK

Forbs hard to pin down as usual but Anderlecht managed it - the Bruges winning run ends at 9. The Brusselaars only the second side to get league points off Club this season. 1-1. Gent and Union have their turn later. Hope you all enjoyed it. #CLUAND
