Thanks to all for the lovely messages. Still in shock at getting an OBE in the new years honours list for my sport, charity, peace & reconciliation work. Massive thanks to all my friends and family for their support. I also feel lucky to work with so many great people

It's been obvious to me Robin Swann cares deeply about doing the right thing throughout the pandemic. I personally think he has shown great leadership.

I recently started volunteering back at my old club and really appreciate all the support they have given our family at this difficult time ❤🙏
Before our game today players & spectators observed a minute silence for Fiona Boyd, sister in-law of Daniel & Michael Boyd, who sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer
We extend our deepest condolences to Fiona's husband John & the wider Boyd family circle🧡🖤

Can't wait for game tonight. Watching this one on BBC as I have covid but feels like biggest game of season. NIFL prem has been great this season. Fair play to all the clubs and players. I think the additional BBC coverage in recent times has been great too.
Tonight may see the biggest crowd for a league game at the Oval since 'Morgan Day' in 2005. Hopefully the match will be just as dramatic as back then but without all the crowd trouble that followed. It's a huge game for Glentoran + Linfield and Irish League football.

I had the pleasure of meeting Billy a couple of times and he was brilliant company. He once got me to read a poem out about East Belfast that he created at an event organised by the Amalgamation. What he achieved as a player & manager for NI was phenomenal! He truly is a legend.
It is with great sadness that the Irish FA has learned of the passing of its esteemed former player and manager Billy Bingham at the age of 90
