It's the main horse race of the year in 🇧🇭 Bahrain this Friday. Plenty of UK/Ire interest. Was invited to main local horse race trainers house. This was the view going up in the lift plus an original Savador Dali…

I was born in Belfast Northern Ireland during the Troubles

My childhood was a little different from most

My grandfather came from Hong Kong and opened a Chinese restaurant called New Blue Sky in Belfast in 1968

My father later ran it and I grew up working in the family business from the age of 7

I went to a Protestant school, had friends on both sides of the religious divide and our main business was in a Catholic area

As a Chinese family we experienced racism too

Sometimes I felt like an outsider everywhere

Too Chinese to be fully Irish

Too Irish to be fully Chinese

But growing up between different cultures, religions and communities taught me something valuable

You don’t have to see the world through just one perspective

I’ve since lived and worked across different countries and cultures

Thats why I am a global citizen

I don’t belong everywhere but I also belong everywhere

Going to have a swatch at the F1 track #Bahrain

On an interesting journey!

Whoever thought it wise to let McPake leave @RangersFC needs a talking to. He looks quality.

Popped up on my timeline! Some rock n rollers captured in this photo. Great night.

Well done Issac, strong comeback after unrelenting criticism last year!

Massive shock in Northern Ireland - exArsenal player boots in over the bar and @Arsenal #dundelaFC through to semis

Gonna be that sort of day!

Criminal

I’m amazed not more teams have cherry picked some of those @NorthernIreland players!

When did Northern Ireland become the best Home Nations side?

Got a mate playing in Dunhill with Cam Smith…Foxy. Had a meal with him on Saturday night when he delivered his victory speech. He is 100% convinced they’ll win the Dunhill…doing ok so far! @dunhilllinks I’m keeping an eye on @WestwoodLee

An All-Island XI dominated by Northerners? How the Northern Ireland football revival is being fuelled by hard work at grassroots... leaving the Republic in its wake trib.al/DxUS2Yl

England gets a bit of a doing from Celts. This regarding Education is very interesting from an unusual outlet!

Keep a close eye on Northern Ireland over the next 18 months.

EURO 2028 is on neighbouring soil, co-hosted by Great Britain and Ireland. It was originally planned to be the full United Kingdom and Ireland, with Northern Ireland getting to be a co-host thanks to major nt Park.

That project hasn't been able to happen. Northern Ireland have therefore lost co-host priveleges, including the two reserved automatic spots for any co-hosts who fail in qualifying.

That's what makes this #NationsLeague campaign such an intriguing watch for them. Entering Group B2 after a League C promotion in 2024, it's been a very positive start for the Green and White Army.
Brothers Pierce and Shea Charles starred to snatch a last minute win in Georgia 🇬🇪. Tonight, they've gone toe-to-toe with Hungary 🇭🇺 at Windsor Park in a game where neither ultimately managed to find the killer moment.

4/6 points to start, level with Ukraine 🇺🇦 at the top. Coming 1st would not only earn a special promotion to League A for Northern Ireland, it should also give them the precious safety net of a EURO 2028 Play-Off place down the line.

It would be good to have all of the home nations present at a British and Irish-based tournament...

Tonight #GAWA

Pierce Charles could be @ManCity number 1 #GAWA

No surprise to @NorthernIreland fans but Shea Charles is world class! Never mind his brother...GAWA
