Glentoran signed Gerry Mullan from Everton in the early 80’s. Gerry & Billy Caskey were phenomenal on heavy pitches. Here’s Gerry with Glenn Hoddle playing for Northern Ireland v England.

I’m told that a Linfield fan waited with his Glenman mate for Duncan Ferguson’s autograph yesterday. Blueman told Dunc he was a fan, but can’t wish him well at Glentoran & generally bored him about Linfield. It was only when he got home he actually seen what Duncan had written 😂

I’m going to ask Duncan Ferguson’s assistant at Glentoran Gary Bollan, if his Ma made him that coat from her table cloth. I took this pic of him and my young nephew 30 odd years ago when Gary was at Rangers…Wonder does he still have it? 😁

Seems Lara Bird, Kate Nevens, Clive Lewis and Sam Tarry (Angela Rayner's fella), were "travelling to the 'Progressive International’s Second Ramallah Congress'". What does this have to do with Bird & Nevens representing their Scottish constituents? Who funded the trip and accommodation? Foreign affairs is not part of her job. She should've been in Parliament, as per the requirements of her post.

Why do people keep voting to put unlikeable parasites into lucratively paid jobs so they can virtue signal instead of doing the job they’re paid to do? You reap what you sow.
Lara Bird, SNP MP for Arbroath and Broughty Ferry. In Arbroath, over 30% ranked in Scotland’s most deprived 20% for crime, income and employment. 26.2% of under-16s there lived in relative low-income families in 2022–23, versus a Scotland average of 17.8%. Across the constituency roughly 10,000 households are in poverty. Education in Angus: Primary literacy was about 78.8% in 2024–25. For pupils in the most deprived SIMD quintile it was around 65%. The question her constituents can reasonably ask is why her time, energy and public profile are being spent on a distant conflict while local waiting lists, child poverty rates, high-street decline and attainment gaps in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry remain unaddressed after years of SNP control of the powers that actually shape those outcomes.

🚩🚩More massacres of defenseless Christians but this time in Ethiopia by muslim perpetrators. Why doesn’t the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Pope condemn these atrocities ?

Just a reminder, as your watching the Israeli Elections, that Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, is in the 21st year of his 4 year term. Just saying …

The Belfast Telegraph is no longer a credible Newspaper.
Imagine being a professional journalist and behaving like this because you now think it's your job to favour one side in a current debate. Shameful How the Belfast Telegraph handled Helen Joyce grahamlinehan.substack.com/p…

Made his Glentoran debut aged 15 and knocked Arsenal out of the EFL cup for Fleetwood tonight. Well done Conor Haughey! Also fantastic that 46 year old Kelly Baillie won the Ladies cup for Glentoran tonight scoring a penalty on her last ever game before retirement. 👏👏💚❤️🖤

Incredible to see such huge numbers at the ballot box - Jews, Muslims, Christians and especially the lads on camels, all standing in the same voting line today. Equal rights, equal votes. Meanwhile in Gaza and the West Bank the last presidential election was 2005 and the last parliamentary one was 2006. Twenty years of nothing. And people still act like Israel’s the undemocratic one. Uppa democracy!
Today, two million Arabs had the right to vote in a free and fair election in the Middle East. In a region where that freedom is nonexistent, only one country guarantees it: Israel.

On 26 October 1989 the IRA shot a 6 month old baby in the head in West Germany. The child was Nivruti Islania. They wounded the child’s mother & killed the child’s Dad, an RAF corporal. They tried to wipe out a whole family. This was not freedom fighting. There was an alternative
