Thanks mate! It sure is!
I obviously disagree Peter! Life is so connected to both for many.. Remembrance Sunday/Equality β¦and then faith life too.. Hope we all can cope with any players having a drink for 30 seconds or so today! #lufc
The haters keep coming on X!
I think Andrew is just building courage to ask me on a date ! ππ₯³π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈβ½οΈ #lufc
Hey thanks so much ππ
Cheers mate - too kind! #alaw
Thanks Rich ππβ½οΈ
Thanks Josey.. #alaw and need allies to speak out thanks

Well I did decide to leave but then didnβt because I wanted to just now & again share something there - over 6k βpeopleβ seen my post so hopefully a few encouraged on less hate! Some of us keep surely need to keep throwing a rose into the sewer to help drag the odd one out!? I know at what cost!! ππ
Thanks Matt - ππ you are so right on JC & other faiths too - Iβll be there tomorrow hoping for few boos #alaw
Vicar supporting a #lufc post on tomorrowβs match Iβm attending leads to this. Realist about X but stay to try bring some hope/light/peace/love.

Mark I do think it needed to be made and if you read it all (and I agree with it all) there were some other reasons for some .. not all related to fast breaking players! Knowledge helps I think but sadly I do expect some boos on Sunday again from a small minority!
Thanks Josey - not quite the response Iβve had on X! But no surprise there! π
As a Christian season ticket holder (& a Vicar at that) I think itβs a good statement - any one who boos has no real excuse they donβt know what is going on-letβs show some respect for whatβs just a 1 min break
#RamadanMubarak to all #LUFC & #NCFC Muslim fans & hope Leeds win! π

Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE .. my heart goes out to his family and friends.. #ICEOUT #RIPAlexPretti The world needs to speak outβ¦π The truth shall set you free..
Well Stephen was truly a faithful traitor and honest to his traitor friend.. unbelievableβ¦.he put his promise ahead of over 47k - Claudia is THE best as was Stephen - what a fabulous guy - #TheTraitors
An empty seat at #LUFC today missing my best mate Martyn Westby after he died on Monday- as always his brother Colin was sat one side & me the other! - Martyn has been a season ticket holder for 50 years with his brother .. great that #LUFC scored a last minute winner! #ALAW @marchingout.bsky.social

What a day - amazing last minute goal for #lufc v #lfc ending 3-3 & before that the @marchingout.bsky.social AGM π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ where I ended up singing the South African National Anthem with one of my heroes Lucas Radebe in the boardroom at Elland Road #BafanaBafana πΏπ¦
We work on many different levels with our LGBTQ Regional Alliance partners. In fact just today we have donated one of our used stars to our needy friends at @rainbowblades.com π
Joking aside, Paddy was a genuine and active ally for us, and we wish him the very best.
