The Mountjoy Helicopter escape took place today 53 years ago.
The Provisional IRA rescued three commanders from the prison in broad daylight 🚁 🎃

“6 or 7 people from the Creggan estate died on Bloody Sunday. So for me to wear a poppy in support of the people who carried out those atrocities, I couldn’t. It frustrates me how people can’t see that. How there’s even a debate why I should wear the poppy.”

Eddie McGuire on his lifelong love of “football” ⚽️❤️
From his family's generational connection to Celtic and his history with Victorian football to attending the Melbourne Derby, McGuire reflects on what the game means to him.

Paul McStay was a terrific midfielder who won 76 caps for Scotland during his career. He showed commendable loyalty to Celtic when he could have moved on and probably earned more money.

Halliday just can't resist media payments.
Don't be fooled, he isn't a nice, moderate, thoughtful media guy.
He detests every last aspect of #Celtic.

A controversial goal? Only thing controversial about it was it being flagged offside in the first place.
You can capture emotion without lying.
