Today we have verified reports from independent journalists in Gaza that children are starving to death. It is now 11 weeks since Israel blocked aid going in, the UN has said hundreds of trucks of aid needs to go in daily. Israel agreed to 9 trucks.

I feel so desperately powerless and hopeless today. I have been watching Dr Mike Ryan (UN health emergencies director) update on the unfolding horror in Gaza, even he was completely exhausted, emotional and desperate as no one is able to go and help, especially the children.

Heartbreaking to read this morning about the 2 Israeli diplomatic staff who were murdered in Washington. More innocent lives being lost.

📝 STATEMENT: The Coalition have released the following statement regarding the news that Chief Executive Steve Waggott will be leaving the club. #Rovers

I thought the Coalition wanted Waggott to leave? #MakeYourMindUp

Tough day at the office for Richmond…….

Over the last 6 weeks Grain connection has been absolutely diabolical in Blackburn, constantly on and off and today we have the third outage in entire Blackburn. Sadly I am in contract until February but will be leaving when I can, avoid!

I see that Rovers are continuing their completely out of touch ticket pricing policy, once they got the season ticket pricing wrong, they had to follow it with the matchday ticket prices.

Rovers are not overly bothered about people not renewing, I decided not to renew as for my 2 tickets it was a rise of £130 in total which was too much. No email from the club since 25th April advertising season tickets and no attempt whatsoever to find out why I wasn’t renewing.

Northern Rover I wrote to the club 2 months ago telling them that 3 of us (all adults) would not be renewing, but I have not heard a thing. They do not care. I actually think they are happy that anyone who questions the running of the club will not be returning. So sad!

Flashback to 1983, Rovers v Liverpool, this particular Liverpool side was one of the best ever.

Brainless shot from Brook given the game situation and lunch break coming up.

They have done the country proud, never say die attitude and tonight against a Spanish side stuff full of world class players we have beaten them. Amazing.

I’m thinking of the future #Lionesses denied the opportunity to fulfill their potential like their heroes by playing for #rovers. At a time of huge success & growth for the women’s game I will never forgive the treatment of our previous squad &the debacle of the last two summers.

Hope Akpan on Coyle

India favourites now? They’d be mad taking the new ball with this one swinging so much?

Well done India. What a great test match to end of the greatest series I have had the pleasure of watching. Test cricket is the pinnacle and best form of the game. We have work to do ahead of the ashes.

My brave friend Emma Murphy flying over Gaza filming the relief drops. We were on the same Pre-Entry Journalism Course 1994-5 at Preston. What a story she must have, what a book she must write. I can’t imagine the suffering she’s seen.

No one knows the ins and outs of what has happened with Travis and Rovers but what I do know is losing 2 of your 3 best players from last season (Travis and Brittain) with third being Tronstad who could also be returning back to Norway soon = big trouble.
