4 IRISH DAILY MIRROR THURSDAY 26.08.2021 DMEEIR coronavirus crisis: Music & Cuts show that we’re not all in this together heartaChe Samantha’s funeral Brave husband’s plea to unjabbed expectant mums CoMMent BY clare kerrane , Sinn Fein TD THRoUGHoUT the hard and difficult days of the pandemic, the philosophy that we’re all in this together has been a message of hope and togetherness. However, as we begin to emerge from the pandemic and the majority of sectors have re-opened, the government has begun to renege on this important promise. Unfairly, some workers are being left behind. Last week, to much shock and frustration, workers in the live entertainment sector found out that the Government has still failed to put in place a roadmap for their sector to reopen safely. This was one of the first sectors to close back in March 2020, yet is now the only sector without a safe reopening plan. Minister Catherine Martin has been unable to explain why or offer any certainty or clarity. Thousands of workers rely on the sector for a living, including musicians, performers, promoters, cleaners, admin staff and technicians, to name just a few. This Government has badly let the sector down. Despite the continuing uncertainty about the future of their industry, the government has said they intend to plough ahead with plans to cut the Pandemic Unemployment Payment in less than two weeks. These cuts will take place from September 7 and will have a devastating impact on workers who are already under huge financial pressure. Not only will the PUP be cut but all those currently in receipt of the PUP rate of €203 will be transitioned onto Jobseekers’ payments. If we really are all in this together, then we must not leave any sector behind while public health restrictions still prevent them from going to work. The live entertainment sector deserves fairness. The Government must urgently delay these cuts. Number of deaths increases by 18 THE total number of Covid-related deaths in Ireland now stands at 5,092 – up 18 since the last reported data on deaths last Wednesday. The Department of Health was also notified of 2,051 more coronavirus cases. The number of people with the virus being treated in hospital stands at 323, up 16 from yesterday. There were 56 Covid-19 patients in intensive care, an increase of one since Tuesday. electric » By Ciara Phelan Political Correspondent MUSIC fans received a shock yesterday as the plug has been pulled again on this year’s Electric Picnic. Dr Tony Holohan had given fresh hopes the event could take place if attendance was limited to the fully vaccinated but it is understood the Government now want to move away from such restrictions. The Chief Medical Officers is now expected to advise the Cabinet to wait between four to six weeks before they begin to ease any more rules. Taoiseach hoPeful Louis Walsh wee angel Baby Eviegrace Micheal Martin will announce a major roadmap next week which will give a timeline for the lifting of all remaining Covid-19 restrictions. Laois County Council said yesterday it would not reverse their decision to cancel this year’s Electric Picnic despite pleas from festival bosses. It said it cannot legally revisit its previous refusal of an event licence for the Stradbally event and that statutory timelines would not allow for the processing of a new application in time for the original date. It said the decision to refuse the license earlier this month By Sean MurPhy THE devastated husband of unvaccinated Covid-19 victim Samantha Willis, who died after giving birth, is desperately urging people to get the jab. The 35-year-old passed away last week, just a fortnight after her baby girl was born by Caesarean section. yesterday was her due date. Samantha, from Derry was in favour of vaccination, but when, she got pregnant, the UK was advising expectant women not to get jabbed, advice which did not change until April 16. Josh has now revealed how Samantha admitted in hospital that she was afraid that she was going to die and how their daughter Lilyanna, four, asked: “Who will be my mammy?” The devastated widower is also appealing to other women to protect themselves by getting vaccinated. Josh told RTE Radio: “Samantha didn’t get the vaccine because of the advice at the time. That’s why she was unvaccinated. “The advice changed afterwards, but we had six weeks left to her due date, which was [yesterday] August 25, and the plan was to get » Festival setback as Picnic axed again despite fresh hope was based on HSE advice and Government regulations at that time. A senior Government source said last night there are no plans for vaccine passes to be used for major outdoor live events. They added: “Vaccine passes were only created for the reopening of indoor hospitality and there is a sunset clause in which this measure is due to expire in October. “The Government is not going to legislate for specific outdoor events. vaccinated then. Not being vaccinated has made the worst difference. “I’m hoping that by telling Samantha’s story, that people – whether they are pregnant or not – will now get the vaccine. “If Samantha can save one person and one family going through what we are, then it’s job done.” Josh tested positive for Covid-19 on August 1, Samantha then had shortness of breath, so he took his wife to her GP on August 3, and she was immediately admitted to hospital for tests. Samantha was several months pregnant when she was arrived at Altnagelvin Hospital and tested positive for Covid-19 – prompting doctors to deliver her daughter Eviegrace by C-section on August 5 with Josh watching on via video phone. Samantha did not get to hold her baby before her conditioned worsened in intensive care and she tragically died last Friday. She was buried on Monday after her Funeral Mass during which newborn Eviegrace was baptised – all in the same St Columb’s Church where Samantha and Josh got married just two years ago. On practical terms it doesn’t make any sense given the announcement next week will see a move towards less restrictions and more of a personal responsibility approach. “Why would the Government create legislation for an event when we’re moving towards 90% of people fully vaccinated?” Earlier this month, it was revealed that the 70,000 capacity festival, planned from September 24 to 26 had been cancelled as Laois County

A Government spokesman said: “The decision for the license of individual events are a matter for the relevant local authority. “The Government will publish an updated roadmap for the further reopening of various sectors after consideration by the Cabinet subcommittee and Cabinet on Tuesday.” Irish music mogul Louis Walsh said he hopes the Government will get the industry back up and running as soon as possible. He briefly spoke to reporters while launching a new design initiative for children at the Department of Education yesterday Mr Walsh said: “We saw what happened in Croke Park. We’d be happy with 1,000 people in the Olympia.” The Government source noted Dr Holohan had signalled in his comments during a NPHET briefing on Tuesday that he believed it would take between four to six weeks before the country could reach maximum vaccination of the population.

She has also rejected calls from unions to allow unjabbed mums-to-be to work from home. ireland’s three teaching unions have claimed the Government is failing to protect women teaching staff in the early stages of their pregnancy. Public health advice recommends that pregnant women wait until 14 weeks to get a first dose of a vaccine, with a second dose before the end of 36 weeks. Ms Foley said: “We have consulted with the institute of obstetrics and Gynaecologists, we have consulted with public health, we have consulted with occupational health. “it is their expert advice that staff who are pregnant, are eligible to return to work and then at 14 weeks they can be vaccinated.” She said there may be cases where teachers consult with their GPs and conclude that it is not appropriate for them to return to work. Ms Foley added “if that is the case, there is a pregnancy-related leave and that has always been the case, it remains in place.” the minister insisted any teacher who availed of pregnancy-related leave would not see their entitlement to sick leave affected. Ms Foley said: “there’s 183 days available. “it does not impact going forward on any individual sick leave should they need to draw down in the future. “there is a misconception in terms of sick leave, it does not impact on an individual’s eligibility for sick leave going forward.” the teachers’ union of ireland, the association of Secondary teachers, ireland and the irish national teachers’ organisation issued a joint statement on yesterday, calling for staff to be allowed to work from home, and condemning the failure to put alternative arrangements in place. the statement said the “anxiety and fear” caused to pregnant women by the minister’s failure to act is “unconscionable”.

DMEEIR IRISH DAILY MIRROR THURSDAY 26.08.2021 I will get millions for my client from MTK 8 & mob boss Kinahan Lawyer for boxing agent vows to track down crimelord gang empire Cartel boss Daniel Kinahan BY JOHN HAND Chief Reporter THE lawyer heading a civil lawsuit against Daniel Kinahan insists the mob boss is “hiding out” in his Dubai bolthole – but says it will not stop him getting millions for his client. Ex-Marine Eric Montalvo also told how he found it “quite remarkable” that MTK - also being sued in the case - has established a corporate presence in the US. Kinahan, the sports management firm which the Dubliner co-founded and others are being sued by boxing manager Moses Heredia who alleges top boxer JoJo Diaz was illegally lured away from him with a $100,000 cash payment. In submissions to the courts in California, they allege Kinahan is continuing to organise fights for MTK boxers which are “steeped in money obtained from drug trafficking and money laundering”. Although Kinahan has already been Clearly he has a hand in things. Fighters reflect that served in Dubai, Mr Montalvo is in the process of re-serving the thug court papers as part of an amended complaint. The company has tried to distance itself from Kinahan in recent years, however the lawyer insists they are still tied up. Mr Montalvo said: “MTK is all about misinformation. “They’re taking a position that Daniel Kinahan is not really part of us and he’s not really doing anything and he’s hiding out in Dubai so I can’t touch him or serve him and this and that but that’s not going to bear out. “Clearly, he has a hand in things. Social media reflects that, fighters reflect that. It just doesn’t pass muster. A US judge is not going to ignore the facts and all the statements.” Mr Montalvo explained he has to go to different jurisdictions to get his client cash. He expects it to be in the millions and while he admits it will not be much to Kinahan, it would be to his client. Mr eric montalvo Plastic Paddy youtube legAl figHt Eric Montalvo and, right, JoJo Diaz Montalvo told the Plastic Paddy YouTube channel: “The question really is, how do I get the money? “I’ve to go across the earth and try to seize assets and get other governments to help me and all that. That’s my problem, I’ll figure that out.” Mr Montalvo also revealed his shock at how MTK had set up a US corporate presence considering Kinahan – who runs a €1billion drugs and arms cartel – is banned from the country. He said: “That’s interesting for several reasons, one because of the fact – it’s my position – that Daniel Kinahan is absolutely still involved in this business. “He cannot travel to the US, there’s about 20 of them who cannot from his organisation because of his narco terrorist activities. “This is not me, I’m not making this up. These are governments and these governments have made these determinations. “So I certainly think that the fact that they are so bold as to establish a corporate physical presence in the United States, is quite remarkable to me. They were sort of getting away with murder if you will by doing it overseas and saying catch me if you can.” The lawyer also explained any information he gets as part of the case, he is willing to pass on to authorities if they decide to pursue Kinahan criminally. Kinahan co-founded MTK in 2012, then as MGM, before they said he stood away in 2017. However, the company itself last year admitted the Dubliner still has connections to the firm as he advises some of their fighters while its chief Bob Yalen also told the BBC that he remains in constant contact with Kinahan. The High Court previously accepted submissions as part of the Criminal Assets Bureau’s case against his longtime ally Liam Byrne, that Daniel ran the day-to-day operations of the Kinahan organised crime group.

A quick glance at figures reveals that almost half of seizures are from people aged between 12 and 23, which is downright scary. At least 1,057 have been charged with knife crimes so far this year on top of 2,286 in 2020. Breaking up a gang of congregating teenagers can be initimidating for anyone but now there’s a legitimate fear of one of them will pull a blade out on you. Countless parents and teachers have stories about finding knives among schoolbooks or stashed in jackets and this kind of mentality will only breed more aggression in the future. And then you have delivery drivers who have been targeted and are afraid to serve certain areas of this country for fear of an unprovoked attack. There’s simply no place for these kind of vile assaults and a concentrated effort needs to be made to assure our streets are safe for everyone to live in peacefully. This expert group has a lot of work to do to achieve this but at this point, anything is better than the lack of proper repercussions currently in place.

TWO weeks of rain, floods and storms have been forgotten thanks to one last blast of summer sun. A balmy 27C is nothing to scoff at and after a fairly decent few months, it’s safe to say that it would be easy to get used to. It’s unfortunate that the sun has returned as schoolkids shrug their uniforms back on for the start of another year but it won’t be long until it rolls around again.

The band are due on stage in St Louis, in Missouri, on September 26 with further shows planned until November. And, following the death at 80 of the man dubbed their “rock”, Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards are determined to play the gigs with stand-in drummer Steve Jordan. Guitarist Keith, 77, posted a picture of Charlie’s drumkit with a “Closed” sign hanging on it. He added no caption. Mick shared a picture of his bandmate of almost 60 years, smiling while seated behind a drumkit. The 78-year-old frontman also added no words. Guitarist Ronnie, 74, shared a picture of himself and Charlie on Twitter, writing: “I love you my fellow Gemini – I will dearly miss you – you are the best.” Despite their heartache, a source said: “It goes without saying they will want to honour him and celebrate his amazing musical legacy on stage in some form. They will want to do Charlie proud.” Small Faces drummer Kenney Jones told the Mirror it was the right decision, adding: “They have got to continue. Charlie would have wanted that.” The Stones’ plans could still be affected by rising Covid-19 cases across the US, which has seen some tours postponed. But the band are busy in rehearsals and are planning to honour all the dates, which include Pittsburgh, Nashville, Minneapolis and Dallas.

Lyricist Sir Tim Rice, who shared a love of cricket with Charlie and invited him as his guest at Lord’s on one occasion, said the drummer was “always charming and polite and beautifully dressed” and knowledgeable about “many things besides music – art, fashion, sport”. “But above all,” he added, “Of course, he was the rock of the Rolling Stones at the back, and the drive and punch and consistency that he provided for so many years, was just as important to the Stones’ success as the glamour and excitement upfront. “It was a perfect combination of total reliability and drive. It wasn’t boring, it was magnificent. But that coupled with the brilliance of the performers in the front line made the band, quite rightly, the greatest rock and roll band in the world.” Rod Stewart posted a photo of the Stones on his Instagram page. He wrote: “I always told the drummers in my band to listen to Charlie Watts.” He i always told the drummers in my band to listen to charlie sir rod stewart on Charlie’s playing added the hashtag “never forgotten”. Kinks singer Ray Davies said: “Charlie was a classy guy, knew his jazz, unmistakable style, good bloke and will be greatly missed.” Richard Branson, who signed the Stones for Virgin, said he had been one of the greats, adding: “His quiet smile often said it all.” John Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, said: “Rest in peace, Charlie Watts. Our love and deepest condolences go out to Shirley, Seraphina, Charlotte and all The Rolling Stones family.” Charlie, who had been with the group since 1963, had recently had surgery following a routine appointment to check he was fit to tour. Under doctors’ advice, he was told he needed rest and recuperation after the successful procedure. The drummer said at the time: “I am working hard to get fully fit but I have today accepted on the advice of the experts that this will take a while “I have therefore asked my great friend Steve Jordan to stand in.” He died surrounded by his family in a London hospital on Tuesday. news@irishmirror.ie @MirrorTom ExclusivE By Tom BryanT FACeS drummer Kenney Jones has told how Ronnie Wood was left shell-shocked by Charlie Watts’ death. Kenney, 72, said he phoned Ronnie as soon as he found out the drummer had died on Tuesday. Kenney said: “Ronnie and Charlie are very close and I phoned Ron up as soon as I heard the news. Ron told me, ‘No matter how prepared you are for this sort of thing you are never half prepared when it happens’. “I said, ‘No, it always hits you like a ton of bricks’.” Kenney said he called Charlie at the beginning of June on his 80th birthday. He added: “I spoke to him at home – it was amazing that he reached 80 after everything he had been through such as having cancer. “He didn’t sound very great but he was wonderful to talk to and very friendly. He was so pleased that I had called and we laughed together about being on tour in the 80s.” Kenney said that just days after he spoke to Charlie, the Stones drummer went to hospital. A spokesperson for the band said at the time that Charlie had a procedure “which was completely successful” but that he needed “proper rest and recuperation”. Charlie said at the time: “For once my timing has been a little off. “I am working hard to get fully fit but I have in acTion Kenney behind his drum kit today accepted on the advice of experts that this will take a while.” But Kenney said he realised his old friend was gravely ill. He said: “I kind of half expected it as a month before he died I had been recording with Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Faces, which is now two years late. I spent a lot of time with Ronnie so I knew about Charlie and how he was doing. I knew it wasn’t good... so I wasn’t surprised. “I am sad that he didn’t quite make that tour and recover.” Kenney said that “Charlie’s spirit“ will be heard every time a Stones song is played. And he paid tribute to a “lovely, genuine man”. Of his musicianship, he added: “If Charlie didn’t play the way he did, Jagger would have nowhere to wiggle his arse. “ Kenney replaced Charlie on the Rolling Stones’ 1974 hit It’s Only Rock ‘N Roll (But I Like It) but it caused no hard feelings. Ronnie had phoned Kenney, asking if he wanted to jam with him and Jagger as Charlie was away. Kenney was surprised when they put his drum section on the single and said: “I called Charlie up about it and said, ‘I never meant for that to happen, I really am sorry, it’s not my doing’. Charlie said, ‘It’s OK, Kenney, it sounds like me anyway’. He was such a gentleman. “I got a gold disc too.” if charlie didn’t play the way he did, Jagger would have nowhere to wiggle drummer kenney jones on late pal Charlie Watts

The Mental Health Commission published the reports yesterday that included four critical and six high non-compliances at two inpatient centres in Cork and Naas. Inspector of Mental Health Services, Dr Susan Finnerty, said: “It is concerning to see an approved centre in 2021 receiving critical risk non-compliances.” Kabul situation fluid says minister mission Troops at Kabul Airport. Inset, Coveney By Ailbhe DAly and ChRiS hUGheS THE Army Ranger Wing being on the ground in Afghanistan will help to get Irish citizens out, Foreign Minister Simon Coveney has said. There are still 24 Irish passport holders looking to get out of the war-torn country as well as the 12 dependents travelling with them. Mr Coveney said he is committed to the extraction and is confident that everyone will get out, adding: “The situation in Kabul is fluid. “Having an Irish team on the ground in Kabul will maximise the opportunities to get Irish citizens out. On balance, this is the right thing to do. “We are committed to them. We want people on the ground [at Kabul Airport] to take advantage of any opportunity to get Irish citizens out of Afghanistan.” And speaking on Newstalk Breakfast, Mr Coveney added: “The fact that many of the groups were family units made getting them out together more challenging. I don’t want to raise expectations unrealistically, that everybody will get out as a result of this. “Even beyond August 31, into September, we will continue to work with Irish citizens if they’re in Kabul.” Meanwhile, western troops have launched a final push to evacuate as many people as possible from stricken DeSpeRAte People queue at the airport Kabul amid escalating fears of an Islamic State suicide bomb attack. In the hasty “Saigon-style” evacuation, soldiers are now carrying “day-sack” rations and minimal equipment in readiness to flee the Afghan capital. Senior sources have told the Irish Mirror there is a “real risk now” of Islamic State assaulting the evacuation crowds with bombs and small arms fire. It means Britain’s 1,000-strong force of mainly paratroopers could pull out of Kabul as early as tomorrow. US soldiers may withdraw over the weekend. But western troops will have to leave behind thousands of “entitled evacuees”. Concrete blast walls have been erected around the gates to the airport as there are fears the Taliban’s desperate rivals Isis will mount suicide attacks. Yesterday a former Afghan interior minister posted shocking images of children and older people allegedly killed by Taliban gunmen. Masoud Andarabi, sacked by thenpresident Ashraf Ghani in March, said the group was “trying to rule over people by terrorising, killing young children and elderly citizens”.

The play is based on the Pulitzer prize-winning book Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt. It will stream on September 9 from Dublin’s Olympia Theatre and will be available in New York on the same day. Jacinta Whyte (Titanic) and Eoin Cannon (The Woman in White) will be in the starring roles.

The study from Queen’s University Belfast has called for action. Prof Nathan Congdon, said: “Once we focused on low and middle-income countries, a very different picture came into focus. “There are many drivers with poor vision on the roads in these settings, and it seems apparent that they explain an important part of the high number of road traffic accidents occurring there. “Despite the high burden of traffic crashes and associated mortality in these settings, there has been a lack of evidence for an association between vision function and traffic safety outcomes in LMICs.” allegatiONs Gearoid Coughlan, 31 bail Cornelius Price By Olivia Kelleher A mAn has been charged with the attempted murder of his mother at their family home earlier this summer. Gearoid Coughlan previously appeared before Bandon District Court in connection with an alleged assault on his mum Mary in June. At a hearing yesterday the assault charge against the 31-year-old was withdrawn. The DPP directed the accused be charged with the attempted murder of Mary Coughlan and intentionally and recklessly causing serious harm to her. Both alleged offences occurred on June 4. Det Garda Peter Nolan gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution. He said Coughlan, of Ballycoughlan, Innishannon, Co Cork, made no reply when the charges were put to him under caution yesterday. Insp David Callaghan said the accused was also facing two minor theft charges involving his allegedly stealing a few cans of alcohol and a bottle of gin in a supermarket in Dunmanway on May 28 and 29. Coughlan has been remanded in custody to appear before the next sitting of Cork Circuit Criminal Court on September 2 in relation to those charges. Judge James McNulty also further remanded him in custody in relation to the two more serious charges he faces. He will appear at the next sitting of the Central Criminal Court in Dublin where a decision will be made on his fitness to plead. Defence solicitor Plunkett Taaffe applied for free legal aid for his client and requested that both a Junior and Senior Counsel be made available at Central Criminal Court and Circuit Court level. Judge McNulty granted his request for the Central Criminal Court but said that a junior counsel would suffice for the theft charges . A previous sitting of the case heard the accused had defaulted on taking his medication for schizophrenia. A report provided to the district court had outlined Coughlan’s longstanding history of paranoid schizophrenia and polysubstance drug abuse. The court was also previously told that he is on a waiting list for a bed in the Central Mental Hospital. news@irishmirror.ie Gang boss Price confident of beating kidnap rap By NicOla DONNelly GANG boss Cornelius Price is confident he will be acquitted over his conspiracy to kidnap charge – and vows to return to Ireland in time for Christmas.

Mother-of-four Sinead Connell, 41, is one of thousands of Irish users on the X-rated platform, an online subscription service known for sexually-explicit content. With some of its top users reported to be making up to €160,000-a-month, the former bodybuilder insisted she’s proud of her new career – and admitted she could have never anticipated the level of success and wealth she has accumulated. Sinead said: “I had heard of OnlyFans over the years. I had always had an interest in doing something like this. “I didn’t think it would kick off so well. I didn’t think it was going to become my whole life. “I didn’t think I would be getting such a big income from it.” But Sinead also admitted it has come at a cost as the work sparked a rift between her and her father. She explained: “I didn’t expect to get the hate I got from it. “I didn’t expect a lot of people in my life to let me down because I choose to join the sex industry. “I haven’t spoken to my dad since last November, which is sad. He’s over 80, so that’s an unfortunate thing. heAled “That’s a rift I don’t think will ever be healed because I’m sure it’s very hard for him to realise his daughter is doing porn.” And Sinead told how she spoke to her dad about the move “originally when I started doing it”. She added: “When I did the body building, I had a lot of pictures up on my Instagram anyway of me being in my underwear, it was quite different type of body checking but I would’ve done quite a lot of photo shoots. “I said to him, it’s kind of the same, but I’m selling the pictures this time and I might have my bra off. “I would do video calls with guys and my dad was kind of saying, ‘That’s a bit sick now and I don’t think that’s good, taking advantage of people’. “You know, this kind of thing. That was fine. “But then somebody else in the family told him more so what it was and that I was basically doing amateur porn and I didn’t even speak to him since then, I was never really in a conversation about it. “I just haven’t seen him.” Sinead has appeared on RTE’s First Dates in the past, where she opened up about being physically abused by ex-boyfriend Alan Brady who was jailed for three years in 2017. And she insisted she won’t step back from the site for anyone. Sinead said: “I’m 41, I don’t need anyone’s permission about what I want to do. I’m a parent myself now. “I think when you have your house, you have your own kids, married, divorced, the rest of it, and then you decide at this age, ‘Oh, I’m going to go Dad’s not a Fan of my new found fame... mONey maKer Lauren into porn’, that’s what people find shocking as I think people expect you to do porn if you’re desperate and you’ve got no other options. “Like, people find it very shocking that this is a job I genuinely said I wanted to go and start doing this.” And Sinead said she sees herself continuing the work well into her future. She added: “I love it. I will always stay within the sex industry now. I’m really proud to be part of the sex industry. I’ve met such an amazing group of girls. It’s a really nice community, they’ve really become my family. “I suppose it is very empowering. “There’s a lot of negatives to it as well but a big positive is it has given me more self-respect.” Sinead was speaking ahead of her appearance in Virgin Media’s new documentary OnlyFans: Ireland’s X-Rated, which looks at some of the Irish people making money on it. Producer Yvonne Kinsella said the aim of the show is to give a more in-depth insight into workers’ lives. She explained: “The programme is really looking at OnlyFans in general. “We asked them the positives and Sex workers ‘safer’ after explicit content ban denied By JOhN haND Chief Reporter SEX workers could have been forced into taking risks to supplement their income if OnlyFans went ahead with banning explicit content, it’s claimed. The Sex Workers Alliance Ireland yesterday welcomed news the site will not proceed with proposed changes. It said it would have forced workers to take on clients they would normally turn down or to have unprotected sex. SWAI’s Aoife Bloom said: “Many sex workers were not included in Government supports. “Reducing the income of sex workers does nothing to end exploitation and trafficking and in fact makes sex workers less safe.” I love it, I’m proud of working in the sex industry sinead connell yesterDay Irish OnlyFans star and mum-of-four sinead rift pain Sinead Connell reveals father snubs her over web porn job the negatives, the trolling that they get, obviously the pros is the money and becoming friends with other girls. “The lads tend not to make anything like what some of the bigger girls are making because the potential is always higher for females.” Also on the show, OnlyFans star Lauren Teeling revealed it has changed her life, going from minimum wage to earning up to €6,000. But the Dubliner insists it isn’t easy money. Lauren said: “It’s a hard job. You do get a lot more grief from it. “It is life changing.

They include two officers who were shot dead and another seriously injured by the IRA in 1940. Two officers who helped free a Dublin dentist who had been kidnapped and mutilated by the INLA in 1987 were also honoured. At the Dublin ceremony, A Silver Scott Medal was awarded to Det Insp Richard Fahey, and a bronze to retired Det Gda Brian Coade. Three gold medals were speech Commissioner Drew Harris 13 Irish heroes awarded Scott Medal, top distinction for bravery on duty also awarded to officers involved in a raid on an IRA training base in 1940 where Det Gda Richard Hyland was shot dead at the scene and Det Sgt Patrick McKeown died of his injuries. A colleague, Det Gda Michael Brady, survived the gunshot wounds he sustained in the attack. It brings to five the number of gardai honoured for their actions on that day. Speaking at Dublin Castle, Commissioner Harris said: “It is a privilege to join you all this morning to honour 13 exemplary gardai for their most exceptional actions in the execution of their duty. “I would like to extend a warm welcome to the families of our Scott Medal recipients who are here with us. Two officers were awarded medal posthumously for role in raid on IRA base “All of you share a special part in the awards bestowed today. “Because it is you who is there for them every day they leave from and come back home after the toughest of days. “And there are those who sadly gave their lives, but who we honour today posthumously. This ceremony is an important opportunity to reflect on the contributions of today’s recipients. “By its very nature, the work of An Garda Siochana is dangerous and unpredictable. “Very often, it stretches beyond dayto-day duties. “But there are some who, in providing our policing service, manage to go even further. These are the exceptional few who are awarded the Scott Medal. “Today we recognise you, and your extraordinary courage.” And Commissioner Harris paid tribute to those officers who “gave the ultimate sacrifice”. He added: “You embody all that it means to be an outstanding member of our police service.” news@irishmirror.ie

Ruairi McSorley, 24, was first reported missing at 8am on Sunday after a walker found his clothes and shoes on a beach near Inch, Co Kerry. Fenit RNLI crew members were stunned to find him alive so far out at sea, alone and surrounded by a pod of dolphins, at 8.15pm.

Spencer Elden, 30, filed a lawsuit against late frontman Kurt Cobain’s estate and surviving band members, claiming they “trafficked” his image. He wants almost €2million in damages for being “exploited as a minor”. In papers filed in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday, artist Elden said his parents never consented to the release in writing for the photo, and were not paid. He claims he was forced to engage in “commercial sex acts”, and that the band went back on an alleged promise to conceal his genitals on the album cover. Reports in 2008 said photographer Kirk Weddle paid Elden’s father Rich €170 for the tot to appear in the iconic picture. The court papers state: “The permanent harm he has proximately suffered includes permanent emotional distress.” The band, photographer, and record labels “intentionally marketed Spencer’s child pornography to promote themselves”. Cobain, who shot himself dead in 1994, personally picked out the photo of four-month-old Elden. It was taken in 1990 at Pasadena in California. Non-sexualised snaps of kids are not considered child pornography in the US. news@irishmirror.ie @IrishMirror

She is hosting Wim Hof ’s Superstar Survival, which follows a group of celebrities tackling death-defying challenges in Europe’s harshest conditions. Dutchman Hof earned his nickname after feats such as running a half marathon barefoot above the Arctic Circle, submerging himself in ice for 1hr 52mins and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in his shorts and shoes. The BBC appears to be trying to follow the success of shows like Channel 4’s Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and ITV’s I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! It clearly has high hopes for the 2022 six-parter, also commissioning a sister show on BBC project they announced with a fanfare at yesterday’s Edinburgh TV Festival, one observer dubbing it I’m A Celebrity On Ice. This is her second collaboration with Three to delve deeper into the challenges the celebrities face. Holly, 40, is co-hosting the series with comedian Lee Mack. She said: “I can’t wait to team up with Lee and Wim. Lee is hilariously funny and I’ve been a fan of Wim for a long time – he’s a genius. This show is going to be brilliantly entertaining. “You never know, you may find out some things that could help you along the way too.” Lee, 53, said: “My passions are Wim Hof, watching This Morning in my undies, sub-zero temperatures, looking at celebrities sitting in cold water and free hotels.

And at the moment the cold is a doorway to their soul and if they use the power of their mind anything is possible.” Holly hosts This Morning and Dancing On Ice on ITV but is reportedly involved a dispute over the morning show and recently fronted another BBC series with Bradley Walsh called Take Off With Bradley & Holly.

Philip, 47, told the Irish Mirror: “My accident happened in 1999 in Merrion Cricket Club, I had just played a game for our first team. “I landed on my head and broke my neck. “I was taken to Vincent’s Hospital, I don’t have a huge recollection of that, but I was X-rayed and brought to the Mater Spinal Unit. “I knew it was quite serious as my mum and dad had been on holidays, they appeared at my bedside. “After a week I was transferred to the Rehab Hospital in Dun Laoghaire. “I ended up spending 11 months there, but there were two stand-out moments.” Meeting a former rugby player, Mark, who was paralysed from the neck down, helped change Philip’s perspective on his own accident. He explained how an encounter with Mark helped his journey to acceptance: “Two weeks post-accident, Mark came over to me and said, ‘Oh you can move your arms’. “I was thinking Jesus, what’s this guy talking about, I’ll be walking out of here. EXTRAORDINARY “Then a month later, I ended up lying across from him in the ward, he was extraordinary, he never gave out, even though he was in a worse state than me. “For him rehab was all about accepting the fact, he’d never be able to do anything for himself again. “It was a defining moment, I felt I couldn’t feel sorry for myself, if he couldn’t. “I’ve no finger or hand function, but my arms are about 70 per cent function, you need to look at the bright side.” Having studied economics in UCD and then working in business development in telecommunications, everything changed after the accident.

This is a lifechanging prognosis both for themselves and their families and the start of a long and arduous journey. For many it is not just a case of losing the ability to walk, it often means that a person loses the ability to use their arms and hands. •It can, and often does result in other serious health problems including chronic pain and loss of body function, severe psychological distress and financial issues. Spinal cord injury, (SCI), is recognised by the World Health Organisation as one of the most devastating injuries a person can sustain. A SCI has a devastating impact on the individual, their families, and their support network. •Spinal Injuries Ireland is Ireland’s only one-to-one support service for people with a SCI. We provide a range of services and resources which help people and their families adapt to life after a SCI. The assistance we provide to each service user is specific to the needs of the person with a SCI and their families and include one-to one support from our Community Outreach Team, access to our trained peer volunteer programme, and a comprehensive educational programme. •Spinal Injuries Ireland are there for people from the moment of their injury and we continue to provide support for as long as it is needed. With practical help from our expert team, we focus on possibility, opportunity, and hope – on what a person can do, not what they can’t.

28 IRISH DAILY MIRROR THURSDAY 26.08.2021 DMEEIR L I F E live it well Healing home brews In need of a pick-me-up? Whether you want to sleep soundly or beat the bloat, the answer may lie in your cup of tea Need a boost? Whether you want to relax, sleep well or de-bloat, there’s a tea that will do the trick. “Healing teas only take minutes to prepare, but can have longlasting benefits,” explains herbalist Cerridwen Greenleaf, author of Natural Cures and Remedies. And they couldn’t be easier to make. “You don’t need any special equipment – just a kettle, pan, mug and the ingredients,” she says. When it comes to ingredients, from soothing catnip to sleepinducing lavender, the fresher the better. “All the herbs in these recipes you can buy online from herbal suppliers or Etsy,” says Cerridwen. “It’s best to use fresh ingredients for your home brews as the medicinal properties are stronger. “That said, it’s okay to use dried ingredients or teabags if that’s what you have to hand.” Which teas will you choose? SOOTHE ANXIETY The tea… caTNip Not just for kittens, catnip tea can ease symptoms of anxiety, stress and nervous tension. A cup or two of catnip tea per day will boost a sense of relaxation. It tastes great with honey too. Indeed, adding honey to natural teas can help them to become more palatable, especially if you have a sweet tooth. TRY: 1 Take a palmful of dried catnip leaves and steep in a cup of boiling water (240ml) for 5 mins. 2 Strain the mixture as you would any loose tea before drinking. 3 If using, add a teaspoon of honey to sweeten. ‘‘ Not just for kittens, catnip tea can ease anxiety BEAT BLOATING The tea… pEppERMiNT, cHaMOMiLE, WORMWOOD & caRaWaY This peppermint mix will settle a bloated, painful stomach, especially if you’ve overindulged on a night out with friends you haven’t seen in a while. If you don’t have any wormwood, use the other ingredients on their own. However, wormwood is a great herb because it helps all types of digestive issues from an upset stomach to cramps. TRY: 1 Mix together 50g dried peppermint, 50g dried chamomile, 20g dried wormwood and a pinch of caraway seeds. 2 Use three pinches of the mixture to make a large cup of tea; infuse in boiling water and strain off the herbs before drinking. ENERGY BOOST The tea… GiNGER, JaSMiNE & pEppERMiNT Try this restorative, warming drink to boost your energy levels. The zingy taste will perk you up and leave you feeling great. TRY: 1 Measure out 1 inch sliced fresh ginger, 1tsp jasmine tea leaves and 1tsp peppermint tea leaves. 2 Place the ginger, jasmine and peppermint in a pan (or teapot) and add 2 cups (480ml) of boiled water. 3 Let the mixture brew for 5 mins, then strain and pour into a mug. MORNING CLEANSE The tea… LEMON, GiNGER & HONEY This tea should be drunk first thing in the morning to remove toxins and promote digestion. TRY: 1 Take 1 lemon and squeeze the juice into a large mug. Add the rest of the lemon, sliced. 2 Grate 1/2 inch of fresh ginger into a small pan, add a mug of warm water and heat until bubbles form at the bottom of the pan – do not boil. 3 Pour the ginger water into the mug with the lemon. Add raw honey once the drink has cooled to a warm temperature. SILKY SKIN The tea… SaFFRON, GiNGER & Lemon Saffron is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to beautify the skin, boost mood, and combat PMS. This recipe makes a lot, so feel free to pour the liquid into a thermos and enjoy the tea throughout the day. TRY: 1 Peel and grate 1/2tsp of saffron threads, chop 1/2 inch of fresh ginger and juice 1 lemon. 2 Add the ingredients to a small pan with 2tbsp of any non-processed sugar (monk fruit sugar etc). Add 4–5 cups (950ml–1.2l) of water. 3 Let the liquid slowly come to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and stand for 15-20 mins before drinking. There’s no need to strain this tea. SLEEP TIGHT The tea… LaVENDER For centuries, lavender has been a popular ingredient to treat sleep issues. But the herb can be used for so much more than bath salts – a lavender tea is the ideal way to ingest its calming properties to combat insomnia. TRY: 1 For lavender tea, the rule of thumb is 1tsp of dried lavender flowers to 1 cup (240 ml) of boiling water. 2 Place the flowers in a pot for a few minutes, then strain before drinking. ■Natural ■ cures and Remedies is out now.

30 IRISH DAILY MIRROR THURSDAY 26.08.2021 DMEEIR DEAR COLEEN dearcoleen@mirror.co.uk your problems solved I’M NOT STRONG ENOuGH TO HELP MY cANcER PAL Dear Coleen As a 59-year-old guy living alone, I have struggled through the past couple of years, as many have. My mum died of cancer before the pandemic, and then Covid made the loneliness and isolation I felt so much worse. I had no time to adjust to my mum’s death and, I have to confess, I nearly took the easy way out. Now a younger friend has cancer and I have to find a way to be strong for them. I want to be a rock for this person because I owe them a lot, but it’s difficult. I’d appreciate your advice. Coleen says You’ve suffered a very tough time, but I’m very glad you’re trying to work through things and that you’ve written to me. It’s hard if you feel like you always have to be the strong one. Two of my sisters were diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic and I felt very guilty saying I didn’t feel strong when they were so ill. What would make it worse for your friend is if you cut him off. Remember, he won’t expect you to have all the answers or to be strong all the time – he just needs you to be around. Ask him how you can help him best and take your lead from him, but it’s OK to admit your own vulnerability – it’s the way to healing. I’d also urge you to get support. Reach out to bereavement charity www.bethany.ie or samaritans.org and speak to your GP. Don’t put pressure on yourself to appear OK if you feel down. Just accept that how you’re feeling is perfectly normal, given what you’ve been through. The best thing you can do is to talk about how you feel – talk with your friends, support groups and your doctor. You’ve told me, which is a big step, so now tell them. Good luck. I’m isolated, my health is a mess... so what’s the point? Dear Coleen I’m a 60-year-old woman and the mother of two adult boys. I don’t have much contact with either of them, but that’s probably my fault – it’s usually the mum’s fault, right? They tell me it is. I have two grandchildren and consequently don’t see much of them either. I’ve got type 2 diabetes, which I’m not in control of, I had a stroke last year and have problems with my bladder and bowels. I also get constant pains in my arms and my legs. My husband works, but I don’t have a job because of my failing health. I have no friends, so I don’t get out much either, but my real problem is that I don’t know what I’m doing in my life, or what the point of it is. I feel so lonely. I don’t mean to sound depressed and I do know there are thousands of people who are worse off than me. I am sure I should be thankful for a lot of things, but I can’t think of a halfway decent reason to carry on the way I am. Can you help? Coleen says You have to reach out for support from friends and professionals, but the first step has to come from you. You sound in a terrible rut and very low, so go back to you say I’d like to address the letter from the woman having issues over choosing godparents for her baby (Dear Coleen July 9). When you choose a godparent, you want someone who will be there for your child through thick and thin – it’s not like choosing a bridesmaid! Don’t pick someone who’s only there to wear a pretty frock, and you’ll likely never see again. Joan Myers, Wigan PROBLEMS? Tell Coleen Nolan about them and she’ll give you an honest answer... every weekday in the Irish Mirror email: dearcoleen@mirror.co.uk – sorry, but Coleen can’t reply personally WRiTe To: Coleen Nolan, The Daily Mirror, One Canada Square, London E14 5AP “I have no friends and no contact with my children INSTAGRAM POSTS HIDE MY REAL MISERY Dear Coleen I’m a woman in my 30s and I’ve been married for eight years. I haven’t been happy for a long time, but I’ve stayed to try to fix things and I’ve tried really hard to make the marriage work. I don’t think I want to admit to myself that it never will, so I post all these perfect images of our life on Instagram, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Nothing major has happened – no affairs (that I know of) – but my husband just doesn’t care enough about me and has no ambitions for our relationship in the future. Now, we just don’t like each other. Please help. Coleen says If you’re looking for someone to tell you it’s OK to leave this unhappy marriage, then it’s OK to leave. You haven’t failed, the marriage has failed. And if you feel you’ve tried your hardest, then you can walk away knowing you did all you could. Don’t beat yourself up for staying too long. I stayed in my first marriage for two years longer than I should have because I couldn’t bear the your GP as soon as you can and be honest about how you feel mentally. Your doctor might suggest counselling or even medication. And ask what lifestyle changes you can make to help control the type 2 diabetes. I genuinely think that once you start taking control, you’ll gain confidence, your mood will improve, and you’ll feel lighter about things. It should spur you on to do more positive things. But don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Set yourself small, achievable goals – whether it’s a short walk one day or picking up the phone to your sons. Who cares whose fault it is that you haven’t been in touch much? If you want more contact with them and your grandchildren, then pick up the phone and start talking. There are also plenty of support groups online where you can chat to people who are struggling with the same issues that you have. I understand your physical ailments must seem overwhelming and difficult to feel in control of, but you can look at how you can change your mindset. Start slowly (you don’t have to throw a party!) – you just need to take the first step. You can get more information and support from mentalhealthireland.ie and also at diabetes.ie. thought of failing and of my sons being from a broken home. Counselling gave me the push I needed to make the move, so maybe you should give it a go. Don’t be embarrassed about confiding in your friends – the right people will be there for you with open arms, offering you plenty of support. Sign up to my newsletter! I’m excited to let you know that I’ve launched a fab newsletter, which I hope you’ll sign up to receive once a week via email.

Right through from the rock ’n’ roll of the 60s, through glam, punk and acid house, all the way to 90s Britpop and beyond, this is a reminder of how Britain has always forged ahead in music. “Rock and roll was an actual art form and we Brits have played a huge part in that,” says Cliff Richard, one of the many musical legends interviewed. Record producer Pete Waterman adds: “You felt you could achieve anything in the 60s. “There were no rules.” Charting the colossal impact of The Beatles, then on to Slade and Pink Floyd, carrying on to Oasis and Blur, it’s an exciting journey through the soundtrack of our lives. The documentary also highlights the cultural, social and political changes over the eras – with music that challenged people to fight the power. Women’s rights marches set against an emerging festival culture and psychedelic sounds, and punk rock coming out as discontent brewed in Thatcher’s Britain. There’s a reminder of the infamous chart head-to-head in 1995 when Oasis and Blur released singles on the same day – and a marvellous anecdote from Blur’s Alex James about a Swedish festival: “I came in with the bass and a bra hit me in the face.” Finally, the talking head celebs are asked: “Why is British music so great?” “We punch way above our weight,” says Alex.

36 IRISH DAILY MIRROR THURSDAY 26.08.2021 ON YOUR BIKE LUSTY Sportster is best in the firm’s history w DMEEIR ON THE ROAD Testing HARLEY TORQUES MY KIND OF LANGUAGE BY GEOFF HILL The secret of happiness is to find a woman who is loving, a woman who is kind, a woman with a good sense of humour and a woman who is faithful. And to make sure those four women never meet. The secret of happiness for motorcycle manufacturers, meanwhile, is to create a great engine, then use it in a variety of bikes. Well, Harley got the first bit right with the smooth but characterful 1,250cc beast in its Pan America, and now it has tweaked that engine for the Sportster S, reducing the power from 150bhp to 121bhp, but increasing low and mid-range torque, which is much more useful. It comes in three colours, the facts one of which Harley describes as crimson, but which is actually a rich, chocolatey brown which makes it look like Harley-Davidson a Snickers bar. Sportster S Mind you, since the Moto Engine: 1,252cc Guzzi V85TT looks like it’s liquid-cooled made from liquorice allsorts, it V-twin can only be a matter of time before the Triumph Twix and Power: 121bhp @ Honda Haribo are in the shops, 7,500rpm ready to ride and nibble. Torque: 94 ft lb @ The seating position is just 6,000rpm on the sporty side of neutral Colours: Black; with the optional mid-mounted white and also in footpegs and the classically crimson round 4in TFT screen. Acceleration is satisfyingly lusty even in Road mode, and handling, even with that big fat 160mm wide front tyre, is light and neutral. Rather weirdly, Harley has only used a single front brake disc, but given the light 228kg weight of the bike it’s adequate, and cornering ABS and traction control should stop you coming a cropper. The rear suspension travel is so short, however, that after one particularly rough stretch of road I’d lost two inches in height and none of my clothes fitted. Right, time to switch bikes to one with the standard forward footpegs. Now, this can ruin a bike but it seems to suit the Sportster S. It makes you lean forward into a more sporty riding position, making handling even lighter. Weird, but satisfying, while switching to Sport mode resulted in significantly more aggressive power delivery. All in all, I reckon this is the best Sportster in the type’s 64-year history, and it’ll be interesting to see what other uses Harley puts that great engine to. Geoff Hill @ghillster Fraser Addecott @MirrorBiker family Brake VW Arteon r is the sAViour And stAr on A soggy cAmpsite It was on a day like this that Noah looked out of his window and said: “Blimey, I think I’d better build a boat.” A camping weekend in Sussex to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday and it hasn’t stopped raining. Fortunately we have just the right car on test for a weekend such as this. It’s the new VW Arteon R Shooting Brake. The Arteon seemed to come out of nowhere. Bigger than a Passat but not so big that it rivalled a BMW 5-series or big Volvo. But it looks really stylish so it doesn’t matter what it’s meant to be or what it rivals. Then VW made an estate version, the TASTY TRIBUTE This masterpiece in metal is the RML Short Wheelbase, a modern interpretation of the classic early 1960s Ferrari 250GT SWB. To buy an original 250GT today will cost you many millions of euro, and while Shooting Brake, which looks even more striking, especially to eyes that love estate cars. Now its maker has decided to give the Arteon the R treatment both in saloon and estate bodies. That means VW’s ubiquitous 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a sevenspeed DSG gearbox and 4Motion four-wheel drive. That latter item could well be a lifesaver this weekend for the campsite car park looks like Passchendaele. Our car is the most flash looking and the other campers are no doubt thinking we’re going to be in trouble. They might be disappointed. The Shooting RML hasn’t given an exact price for its car, it’ll be somewhat cheaper. At the heart of the car is a 5.5-litre Ferrari V12 engine from a 550 Maranello – which also provides the platform of the Short Wheelbase. the facts Volkswagen Arteon R Shooting Brake five-door estate Engine: 2.0-litre four-cylinder, 316bhp 0-60mph: 4.9sec Fuel consumption: 30.6mpg Co2 emissions: 209g/km Brake’s boot isn’t a great deal bigger than the hatchback’s, with 564 litres available in the hatch and 590 litres in this. We folded the seats down to give 1,632 litres of capacity – a useful increase of almost 80 litres over the hatchback. It has allowed us to HANGING UP YoUR lIcENcE IAM RoadSmart, the organisation formerly known as the Institute of Advanced Motorists, has carried out a comprehensive survey, part funded by the Government, which has gathered data from older drivers. one question was, ‘What age do you expect to quit driving?’. The answer was an average of 82 years old. In the UK there are 12 million drivers over the age of 60. Amazingly, 123,192 of them are aged between 90 and 99. Quite how many are still actively driving we don’t know, but there are 409 people over the age of 100 who still have licences. The oldest are two men of 107 and one woman of 106. My family are going to have a real problem on their hands when they try to stop me from driving. or riding motorcycles for that matter.

irishmirror.ie with COLIN GOODWIN DMEEIR Cancelled last year, the Goodwood Revival is taking place this time on September 17-19. One of the new spectacles will be a vintage car boot sale on the Sunday featuring retro clothing, furniture and homeware. There’ll be a DJ spinning classic hits, and proceeds from the boot sale will go to The Circle, an organisation that supports the world’s most vulnerable women and girls that was founded by former Eurythmics star Annie Lennox. Lennox herself will be donating some of her own items for sale. THURSDAY 26.08.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 37 @MirrorMotoring More reviews and fantastic motoring news at mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/motoring THE RIVALS Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered Like all these rivals it’s a PHEV. Fast and stylish with tax benefits. Peugeot 508 SW PSE Stunning looks and strong performance. Our choice. CLASSIC DATE Tickets are now on sale for the second Bicester Scramble of the year which is being held on October 10. These ‘scrambles’ feature classic car displays, autojumbles and the wares of the 45 specialist companies that are based at the old RAF bomber station in Oxfordshire. Bicester Heritage, which has become the epicentre of the classic car world in the UK, has been holding these events for the last seven years and they have proved to be immensely popular. Five thousand tickets are available for October’s scramble, so pop over to Bicester Heritage’s website before it sells out. gIMME SOME SPACE pack for an end-of-the-world weather experience. Fast, subtle estate cars hit the spot for me and the Arteon R is quick. The engine produces 316bhp and 310lb ft of torque. VW says it will sprint to 62mph from rest in 4.9 seconds which is respectable. You have a choice of several driving modes from Comfort though Sport to Race. Most cars that offer this choice are almost always at their best in Comfort mode but the Arteon R is better to drive in Sport. While carrying most of our house in the back you’d expect its reactions to be a bit blunted, the steering and gearbox response feel a bit sluggish and un R-like in Comfort. The Sport setting doesn’t spoil the ride comfort. Despite the fact our car is riding on 20in wheels and the R has suspension that’s lowered by 20mm over standard, the ride is still smooth over speed bumps. The Race setting ups the exhaust noise but no opening up of valves will make this fourcylinder engine sound as good as the V6 that in the old days would have been under the bonnet of a 300bhp VW. The R treatment inside the ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE JLR has given its Range Rover Velar an update that, in its own words, provides enhanced wellbeing for customers. Your guess is as good as mine. Back in the real world the model is available in Velar Edition spec that offers a wider range of colours and includes a Match To Sample service so you can create your very own shade. A new cabin purification system allows drivers to remotely recycle the air in the car even before a door is opened, wireless updates to the car’s software are now possible, and adaptive cruise control with steering assist is available, as are puncture-beating self-sealing tyres. The range moves up in price to the higher end Velar Edition. ‘‘ It allowed us to pack for an end of the world weather experience Arteon consists of a splash of faux carbon fibre trim and aluminium plus blue stitching on the steering wheel and seats. It could be more special, especially for the price. But happily the Arteon hasn’t got the hard-to-use and widely criticised infotainment system that’s on other VW Group cars. There are plenty of buttons to control functions even if many are touchpads on the steering wheel. We had to carry out a mercy mission for fellow guests and a RENAULT HATCHES ANOTHER HYBRID Renault has added another PHEV model to its line-up. The Megane estate (aka Sports Tourer) has been available for over a year with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but now it’s been joined by the Megane hatchback. A 1.6-litre petrol engine is paired with a 65bhp electric motor for a combined power output BMW 330e Touring Cheaper but can carry much less and at this price, not as well equipped. 100-mile round trip to collect dry clothes resulted in a fuel consumption of 34mpg – a bit better than the official 30.6mpg. Emissions of 209g/km will make the Arteon R expensive for company car users and also brings with it a fruity £1,345 for the first year’s VED, but then this is going to be the same for any 300bhp performance estate car. It made light work of driving itself out of the campsite car park as did the SUVs other campers arrived in. But our car looked ten times cooler and was more fun to drive. As a quick, stylish and practical family car, it’s hard to beat. Rain or shine. of 160bhp. A 8kWh battery gives a maximum all-electric range of 30 miles and charging takes around three hours. The new Megane E-Tech hatch is available to order now with deliveries starting next month. Available in Iconic and the RS Line trims. The MPV, once a hugely popular type of family car, is not completely dead. Citroen, for example, still makes its grand C4 SpaceTourer and has just revised this seven-seater. Actually, it’s the range of models offered that has been revised rather than the vehicle itself. The entry-level Live spec has been dropped so that the only two trim levels available are Sense and Shine. Also, the 130PS diesel engine with automatic transmission pairing has been dumped from the Sense trim because most buyers choose the posher Shine trim. The range starts with the grand C4 SpaceTourer and continues to the Sense PureTech 130 manual. LONg FOR A FABIA A new generation Skoda Fabia is coming that promises to live up to the firm’s reputation of delivering class-leading interior space and offering great value for money. It’s 110mm longer than its predecessor and has a boot that can hold 380 litres with the rear seats in place – 50 litres bigger than the old car’s boot. The car is also wider than before by 48mm. While the increase in length and width boost the space inside the car it also makes it harder to park and feed through traffic. Five engines will be available, all of them petrols, offering power outputs from 65PS to 150PS. The new Fabia also comes with a host of Skoda’s ‘Simply Clever’ features that include a USB-C socket in the rearview mirror and smartphone storage pockets in the front seat backs. We’ll test it soon.

Aidan O’Brien left open the option of sending his Epsom and Curragh Oaks heroine straight to Europe’s middle-distance championship on October 3 after Deep Impact’s daughter racked up a Group 1 hat-trick in the Yorkshire Oaks last Thursday. But the master of Ballydoyle has decided to aim Snowfall, whose three Oaks successes have come at an aggregate of 28.5 lengths, at the top-level test for fillies and mares on the Paris track’s Arc trials card. “It’s looking like she could go to the Vermeille,” O’Brien (right) reported yesterday. “She came out of her last race very well and she’s very happy, so that’s what we’re thinking. “She can’t be doing any more than she’s doing and she’s thriving on her racing.” wonderful Tonight, beaten eight and a half lengths in fourth in the Yorkshire Oaks, still has the Arc as her target. In the aftermath of Wonderful Tonight’s defeat — on drying ground, officially described as ‘good’ — David Menuisier was adamant his daughter of Le Havre “can improve by 10 lengths” on softer terrain. And the Sussex-based Frenchman said yesterday: “The ground made her work a bit harder than when she runs on soft ground, which is the opposite of most horses. “She answered a few of our questions and I’m glad we went there. I thought she had a good run.” Diamondonthehill Dinoo Dionysis Do No Wrong Don Bekar Dream Machine Dreamseller Duckett’s Grove Dulas Earn Your Stripes El Borracho El Divine Electric Love Elusive Heights Emperor Caradoc Estrela Star Excalibur Fandabidozi Far Too Beautiful Farhh North Fashion Delight Fast Forward First Crowd Fisher Green Flood Defence Flying Moon Folks Like Us Follow Your Fire Forest Falcon Full Moon Rising Getaway Jewel Glentaneous Glinbury Golden Crusader Golden Force Golfe Clair Good impression Good Soul Grandfather Tom 5.00 CA 6.10 Li 7.50 SD 5.50 SD 2.00 FF 3.40 FF 2.10 CA 3.40 FF 6.40 Li 4.25 CA 5.20 SD 2.40 CA 5.10 Li 5.32 CA 2.40 CA 4.10 FF 5.50 SD 4.00 CF 4.00 CF 2.00 FF 1.45 CF 2.00 FF 1.45 CF 5.20 SD 7.50 SD 2.10 CA 5.50 SD 7.50 SD 5.00 CA 2.55 CF 7.50 SD 7.10 Li 3.15 CA 2.30 FF 6.10 Li 7.20 SD 3.40 FF 4.00 CF 5.10 Li cARLiSLe raCing TV nursery (5) (2-y-o) 7f 3.50 Winner £3,132 (6 run) 1 (6) 522 grifTer (29) R Fahey 9-7 (F).................................................

40 IRISH DAILY MIRROR THURSDAY 26.08.2021 RACING todAy’s IRIsh RuNNeRs & RIdeRs BRIDGE GAP GrOUp 1 WiNNiNG JUVeNiLe pretty Gorgeous has yet to score as a three-year-old Gorgeous has Pretty good chance to make mark as 3-year-old By peter O’HeHir A Group 1 winner as a juvenile, Pretty Gorgeous, from the in-form yard of Joseph O’Brien, might return to winning ways in the Coolmore No Nay Never Fairy Bridge Stakes, Group 3 feature of today’s eight-race flat card in Tipperary. Winner of the Fillies Mile last autumn, this Lawman filly has failed to recapture that sort of form as a three-year-old but, highly-tried on each of her three starts, she’ll appreciate this drop in class. Having missed the English Guineas, Pretty Gorgeous was beaten just three lengths when seventh in the Irish equivalent and then filled fifth spot behind Alcohol Free, Snow Lantern and Mother Earth in the Coronation at Royal Ascot – rock-solid form. When last seen, Pretty Gorgeous finished three lengths seventh behind Snow Lantern in the Falmouth (another Group 1) at Newmarket. A slight doubt remains whether Pretty Gorgeous has progressed as expected from two to three. But she has an ideal opportunity to start redeeming her reputation here. Of the older fillies, Paddy Twomey-trained Pearls Galore might have the edge over British raider Parent’s Prayer. Billy Lee’s mount has already won three times since arriving in Twomey’s from Freddie Head’s stable in France. And, like the Archie Watson-trained Parent’s Prayer, she must shoulder a 3lb Group 3 penalty, having landed the Brownstown at Fairyhouse last time, a win which came on the back of a pleasing seasonal debut third to Real Appeal in the Ballycorus (Group 3) at Leopardstown. Pearl Galore’s 2021 form included a maiden win in Limerick, a handicap success (off 87) in Cork and a close second to subsequent Group 1 heroine Champers Elysees in this race – when it was run at Gowran Park. Others to note are Parent’s Prayer, a listed winner at Naas in October and successful in a Group 3 at Epsom this year before finishing in mid-division in the Duchess Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot, Jessica Harrington’s (inset) Loch Lein, a listed winner at Deauville last time, and the Glenburnie contender Roca Roma. peter O’HeHir 4.15 ArdLuAsA 4.50 History (NAp) 5.25 Nebo 6.00 pretty GorGeous 6.30 urbAN beAt 7.00 JAzz dreAmers 7.30 rAre FLower 8.00 ivy AveNue tipperary NeXt BeSt 4.15 doN JuLio 4.50 pANAmA red 5.25 speAk iN CoLours 6.00 peArLs GALore 6.30 FreNetiC 7.00 oLiviA vALere 7.30 CHummie 8.00 HiddeN LANd DOUBLe: History ANd urbAN beAt.

irishmirror.ie/sport DMEEIR THURSDAY 26.08.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 41 RUGBY UNION LOWE GOES ON thE dEfENSivE Ireland winger James insists he’s worked hard on that side of his game as he eyes All Blacks clash MINDING YOUR MIND James Lowe has teamed up with Rugby Players Ireland and Zurich to invite post primary schools to take part in the Tackle Your Feelings mental wellbeing programme as part of #ImTakingControl campaign. Visit www.tackleyourfeelings.c om. By MIChael SCUllY JAMES LOWE says it’s up to him whether he will be in Andy Farrell’s Ireland side that meets the All Blacks twice in the next year. The 29-year-old believes he is back on track after he was dropped for the Six Nations clash with England in March. Lowe knows his defensive work wasn’t up to scratch during his first championship but hopes to prove that he has cracked it when Leinster return to action. He admitted: “My good things were really, really good but the elephant in the room was my ‘D’.” Lowe discussed defence with a number of people, including Keith Earls. “Keith has obviously been through something very, very similar and now he’s the mastermind, he’s the guru of it,” said the Blues winger. “I talked to a lot of different people, watched a lot of video and I think I figured it out. “I have, I’m picking out the right options, I’m reading it a lot better and seeing things unfold a lot quicker, reading body shapes, scanning a lot more. I can’t wait to come into a proper game just to reinforce that I’ve done some serious work on it. “But I won’t know until I’ve got bloomin’ Louis Rees-Zammit trying to run around me or Stuart Hogg skipping around. “So Europe, I’m looking forward to Bath and Montpellier and then hopefully in November, say if showed I’ve worked on these things, it’s Test time and that’s where you sink or swim. “I’m working at it diligently like a student again and looking forward to challenging myself on the highest level.” Lowe was last back in New Zealand 13 months ago, during the first lockdown – his first birthday at home in a decade. And he would relish facing his nation in Dublin in November and then Down Under next July. “It would be a hugely pinch-me moment,” said Lowe. “Growing up I wanted to be an All Black. “That dream wasn’t fulfilled but I could line-up at Eden Park and try to run over a few people that I’m very good friends with – that’s something that really excites me. “I haven’t played in front of family and friends for so long that I could only imagine how they’d feel as well. I know the ball’s in my court. It’s up to me if I go or not.”

Third round By KEVIN KELLY and KARL O’KANE THESE are the games Conor McKenna came back home from Australia to play in. The former Essendon Bomber who had cracked it in the AFL, becoming a regular starter, left a blossoming professional career behind him to return home last summer. McKenna had 79 first team games under his belt in a six-year spell at the club. Only six Irish players have lined out in more AFL games – the late Jim Stynes (264), Zach Tuohy (224), Tadhg Kennelly (197), Pearce Hanley (161), the late Sean Wight (150), and Setanta O hAilpin (88). Immediately on his return, Eglish clubman McKenna made a huge impact against Mayo and Donegal in the National League, as he plundered and created goals galore. But Tyrone bowed out of the Ulster Championship at the hands of Donegal in the first round, meaning McKenna had still to land his first provincial medal at any level. That was put right in this year’s Ulster final at Croke Park against Monaghan, as McKenna helped his county to a one-point victory. In 2013 when he starred for Tyrone minors, they went through the back door to make it to the All-Ireland final, losing out to a OZ-SOME Conor McKenna lines out for Essendon Bombers in AFL FIRST TITLE McKenna celebrates Ulster final win over Monaghan with Darren McCurry Diarmuid O’Connor and Stephen Coenpowered Mayo. And in 2015, when Tyrone won Ulster and All-Ireland under-21 titles under current senior managers Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher, McKenna was already in Australia. “It was great to finally get my hands on an Ulster winner’s medal,” he said. “It means a lot to me. “Last year it was over so quickly when we lost to Donegal in the first round but having won it now it takes the pressure off a little and hopefully we can keep it going.” An All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry represents McKenna’s biggest test yet in Gaelic football and perhaps tops any of the challenges he faced in the AFL. “These are the sort of games that I came home from Australia looking to play in,” he said. “Winning the Ulster title there against Monaghan was special. Croke Park is where you dreamed of playing when you were younger. “There will be 25,000 again there on Saturday. It definitely felt loud in the Ulster final and I’m sure it will be the same again.” The stop-start nature of Australian Rules – where players come in and out of the game regularly – is different to GAA, where players are on the go constantly for longer. It took some adjusting for McKenna as he admitted: “Probably the intensity surprised me. Gaelic doesn’t stop whereas in the AFL every couple of minutes you get a break and then once a quarter you get to go off. “Probably the consistency of the up and back game did surprise me and I’m just adjusting to it now.” The 55th point McKenna created in the Ulster semi-final win over Donegal, where he won a turnover on his own 20-metre line and drove the length of the field to feed Darren McCurry, showcased his outrageous athleticism and AFL background. But he mixed some superb passes against Monaghan with a few rash ones although no one can accuse him of being safety first and Tyrone might need a bit of that at the weekend. “Kerry are obviously a good team and in the last four or five years they have been one of the few teams to have really put it up to Dublin in the Championship, just coming up short a few times,” he said. “They are probably the team to beat in the remainder of the Championship and we will have to be at our best to do that. “We played well at times against Donegal and then in the Ulster final against Monaghan we were good in the first half and struggled a bit in the second half when we just slowed up. “There is no way that we can afford to do that against Kerry. “I think to beat Kerry you need a full 70 minutes of good football and we need to go out and give it everything that we have. “Hopefully we can put that together but we will just have to see on Saturday.”

irishmirror.ie/sport RED HANDY Conor McKenna has been a fine addition to the Tyrone team since his return By PAt nolAn FORMER Cork star Paul Kerrigan expects that Kerry will not miss a step against Tyrone – despite their lengthy lay-off. While the more streamlined nature of this and last year’s Championship has given rise to a much tighter schedule, the Covid outbreak in the Tyrone camp has led to something of a throwback with Kerry enduring a five-week gap since their Munster final win over Cork. But, given their swashbuckling form all year, Kerrigan reckons it’s going to take a lot more than that to halt their gallop. He said: “Ideally you’d like two or three weeks between games. They’d been building nicely but it gives them a chance to get the likes of Dara Moynihan (inset) back and clear up any injuries. “But I wouldn’t look past Kerry. I don’t think it will affect them. “Right from the first game in Tralee DMEEIR Gap wIll not stop kerry aces MAC won’t hAng Around By PAt nolAn RONAN McCARTHY will vacate the Cork hotseat if he senses any opposition to his staying on, Paul Kerrigan believes. McCarthy (right) has completed four seasons in the job and while last year’s shock win over Kerry was the highlight, his term has been bookended by heavy defeats to the Kingdom – with last month’s Munster final loss their biggest against their arch rivals since 1937. Kerrigan, who retired after last year’s Munster final loss to Tipperary, said: Kerrigan says lay-off no issue against Galway in the League they looked like a team on a mission, their body language, their purpose, they’ve gone back to their way that they know how to play, that they play best. “I don’t think it will affect them and I don’t think that Kerry need any motivation any time they play Tyrone. “They’ve beaten them in a couple of semi-finals over the years and they’ve beaten them up in Omagh in the League and stuff like that. They’ll relish going into Croke Park.” Tyrone suffered a humiliating League semi-final defeat to Kerry earlier in the mer and may get a bounce from sumthat. But Kerrigan continued: “I can’t see Kerry taking their eye off the ball for this one. This is a huge opportunity for them especially with Dublin losing the semi.” Having watched Kerry in the Munster final, the Nemo Rangers man says that Peter Keane’s side are very much playing on the front foot this year. He added: “I thought when we beat them last year they were defensive obviously. They dropped KERRY v TYRONE CROKE PARK, SATURDAY 3.30Pm “Are there many people sticking their hand up? Ronan said after the Kerry game he would speak to the board and the players and if there is any bit of negativity from either side, knowing him, he’ll probably drop it. “I was asking the Cork lads, they don’t know either what the story is. “It probably was a bad defeat. One saving grace was they did stay up in Division Two, they won three out of four games and if that was a normal year they’d be pushing for promotion.” back to the D and left us have the ball around their 45. “What has changed this year is if the ball is out on the 45, they have someone putting pressure on and they push them back to the 65 to put pressure on. “And if they get a turnover then, they have kept their forwards up the field and they can kick pass really quick and that is what they are really good at. “I think collectively they are probably a bit better too.” Kerrigan, speaking ahead of Saturday’s Meath-Tyrone Electric Ireland All-Ireland minor football final at Croke Park, will be in action on Sunday for Nemo against Castlehaven in the delayed Cork senior football final from 2020. Only 500 will be permitted at the 45,000-capacity Pairc Ui Chaoimh, with 24,000 allowed for the senior-minor double header at Croke Park the day before. He said: “Even if they doubled it it would do both clubs. There’s probably undue stress on the clubs giving out tickets. As a player we’re only going to get one ticket – I have a wife, a kid, a sister, parents, they’d all love to go.” THURSDAY 26.08.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 43 PAUL ON THE BALL Kerrigan promotes the Electric Ireland Minor Championship yesterday CYCLING Roglic can still be the jersey boy DefenDing champion Primoz Roglic, who surrendered the leader’s red jersey on Tuesday after crashing, responded in style as he claimed victory on stage 11 of the Vuelta a espana yesterday.

DMEEIR irishmirror.ie/sport THURSDAY 26.08.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 45 newcastle 0 Burnley 0 After 90 minutes. Burnley win 4-3 on penalties BY simon Bird @simonBird_ WAyNE HENNESSEy was the hero on his Burnley debut – but for Newcastle it is three defeats in their first three games. Toon’s star man Allan Saint- Maximin fluffed the opening kick in a penalty shootout after the tie ended goalless and Hennessey also saved the fifth kick from Miguel Almiron. Newcastle have a woeful record in shootouts, having now lost 11 of the last 14. Freddy Woodman briefly gave them hope by saving from Josh Brownhill, but Charlie Taylor made no mistake to put the Clarets through. Steve Bruce is under huge pressure, with Saturday’s home game against Southampton now a must win. Hennessey, signed from Crystal Palace, had earlier pulled off excellent saves to keep the visitors in the game. It was a very forgettable first half, punctuated by robust tackles, little guile, and just one shot on target. But Newcastle were much the better side after the break, peppering the Burnley goal. A Joelinton miss and Jeff Hendrick’s close-range saved shot were the pick of their chances. Newcastle reached the quarterfinals of both cups last term after Bruce ripped up the club policy of focusing on the league, but has fringe players needing game-time. He made changes with Callum Wilson missing, so Dwight Gayle and Joelinton led the line, and Jamaal Lewis was brought in. Midfielder Hendrick got a rare start and played well, firing just wide from distance early on, and had a volley headed clear. Jay Rodridguez was feeling lucky when he tried a 35-yard volley to liven up proceedings. After the break Newcastle started with two astonishing misses. First £40million record signing Joelinton hopelessly miscued a free shot from eight yards. His effort was so bad it spun across the six yard box. Hendrick’s goal-bound shot was well saved by Hennessey and from the resulting corner his volley was blocked on the six-yard line. Burnley boss Sean Dyche was livid at Toon’s physical approach – ironic after his side’s tactics were described as “wrestling” by Jurgen Klopp last weekend. Ref Oliver Longford let the game flow, and Burnley also dished it out, Josh Brownhill escaping a yellow and Ben Mee also let off despite cleaning out Gayle. On 55 minutes Gayle hit the bar, Joelinton then nodded wide and Gayle was denied by Hennessey, as was Javier Manquillo. Bruce sent on Saint- Maximin and Joe Willock on 76 minutes but neither could unlock the Clarets defence. ‘HE ROSE TO THE OCCASION’ MANAgEr Xisco Munoz has praised Danny rose after he helped Watford to a Carabao Cup win over Crystal Palace.

Ruthless Saints ended up inflicting a record beating in the tournament on the home side. In the middle of it all was their skipper James Ward-prowse, one of only two survivors from the weekend draw with manchester united, pulling the strings and opening up the home defence at will. Sitting at home listening to the nightmare scenario unfold was County boss michael Flynn, the man who had mastermind so many great cup nights at Rodney parade. he was still in isolation after returning a positive Covid test. three first-half goals rained on the amber army’s welcome home parade and more or less settled the issue before it had got properly started. a Redmond drive forced nick townsend into a great save in the eighth minute, but Broja reacted quickest to score as the ball came back off the underside of the bar. the second was a high-speed break-out from defence. two passes later tella was on his own running into the box and shooting past townsend. then Walker-peters notched his first for the Saints with a thunderbolt from the left edge of the area a minute before half-time. When Broja struck the post, the rebound was put in by Elyounoussi. he fired in his second seven minutes later before Broja made it three goals in 10 minutes. Redmond added a seventh after 69 minutes – and Elyounoussi completed his hat-trick with the final kick as Southampton matched their biggest victory since the First World War. 0-2 0-3 0-5 P-E LESSON did exactly that. The Gabon Aubameyang gets Gunners season under way with hat-tricktrick By JOHN CROSS Chief Football Writer @johncrossmirror STRIKER Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang answered his manager’s SOS call with a sensational hat-trick to change the mood at the Emirates. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta told his players it was time for his big guns to step up after a disastrous start to the campaign – and Aubameyang hitman found himself questioned last season, missed the start of the campaign with Covid, and yet this performance showed that, even at 32, there is still plenty left in the tank. His third and final goal just oozed class, as he curled a wonderful effort into the top corner to finally give the 2,744 fans something to cheer about. Aubameyang also provided an assist for Nicolas Pepe, a dummy before Bukayo Saka’s wonderful finish, and then saw substitute Alexandre Lacazette it’s sixy football Aubameyang salutes his hat-trick with Maitland-Niles as Arsenal ran riot last night complete the rout after coming on as a substitute.

It has been 26 years since they last played in this round of the competition because they find themselves out of Europe for the first time since 1995.

For baggies new £30million keeper Aaron Ramsdale (left), who immediately won over travelling fans with some good saves and a commanding display. Martin Odegaard also started after completing his permanent switch, and Saka looked sharp and dangerous as he plays his way back to form and fitness. Arsenal took the lead after just 17 minutes – and then never looked back. West Brom went down last season, rested players themselves, but it was still a tricky away tie and the Gunners made light work of it. Saka’s shot was parried by Albion keeper Alex Palmer and Aubameyang had the easiest of tap-ins to score the club’s first goal of the season. They managed two more in the space of two minutes just before the break. Pepe went through in the 45th minute, beat the keeper with a low shot and Aubameyang netted from the rebound. The striker provided the assist in first-half injury time after seeing his shot saved, hooking the ball over to Pepe to score. Arsenal got a magnificent fourth after the restart. Saka and Odegaard combined nicely, Aubameyang dummied the ball on the edge of the box and Saka fired home. Aubameyang got his best of the night after 63 minutes before sub Laca- zette rounded things off. And the hitman went off to a standing ovation as he eased the pressure on Arteta (above), ahead of Saturday’s league clash with Manchester City.

48 IRISH DAILY MIRROR THURSDAY 26.08.2021 europa league play-offs mediCal protoCol Rangers No.2 Gary McAllister double jab can save us Alashkert (0) v Rangers (1), Today, 4pm By Keith JaCKson GARY McALLISTER led a covid ravaged Rangers squad to Armenia last night - then claimed some missing men could be back in time for Sunday’s Old Firm showdown. McAllister will take charge of the team this afternoon for a crunch Europa League play-off second leg against minnows Alashkert, while Gerrard and a list of key players remain at home self isolating after a coronavirus outbreak in the camp. Neither veteran keeper Allan McGregor nor understudy Jon McLaughlin made the five hour flight yesterday lunchtime with skipper James Tavernier also left behind along with talisman Ryan Kent and first leg hero Scott Wright. But McAllister hinted heavily last night that Rangers expect health chiefs to allow anyone who has been doubled dosed with a vaccine and who passes a CPR test to be allowed back into the squad for the first Glasgow derby of the season. Asked if players may be back in time for the visit from Amge Postecoglou’s side McAllister said: “Yeah. You’ve got to be mindful of the fact that, now that we’ve moved on and a lot of the people in and around our club are double vaccinated, there are advantages. “So we will be looking at that. Things will be changing as we speak.” And when asked if Rangers top brass have already looked into the possibility of being granted such a green light by officials he said: “I’m sure all the medical people at our club are all over that. As we pass information to the governing bodies, we will be getting guided by them as well. “Things have been unfolding in the last immediate days and we are adapting as we’ve moved along. We have arrived here in Armenia now and the focus turns to the job in hand. “We get this game out of the way and hopefully we get the right result and proceed into the group stages and we can then turn our attention to the game at the weekend. “We come here fully focussed on getting the job done here.” DMEEIR az alkmaar (0) v CElTIC (2) AFAS STADIUM, TONIGHT, 7.15pm lucky stars Swedish defender loving life at Celts under Ange’s attacking philosophy time to Adjust Carl Starfelt says he is getting better & more comfortable with every game he plays By graig swan CARL STARFELT admits life is just that little bit different being a centre-back in an Ange Postecoglou team. But the Swede reckons if he can cope with the Aussie’s demands he’ll elevate himself to the next level. Starfelt has been plunged into the gaffer’s eye-opening style – an approach which sees his full-backs speed off to assist the offensive unit leaving the central-defensive boys to hold the fort. It wouldn’t be an easy adjustment for an established stalwart. For a signing coming into a new club and country with a £4million price tag to justify, it has to be even tougher. But Starfelt is loving it. The 26-year-old believes he can only improve and said: “It’s a bit different to playing in many other teams. But I enjoy it a lot. It demands a lot from you but it’s also good for your development. “If you can manage to play here then you will develop a lot and it’s fun football that we are playing. “The style that Ange wants to play is working right now so we’re feeling more and more confident in the system. “It’s fun for the players but also for the supporters to watch. I’m enjoying it a lot and I feel like I’m settling in more and more. Costly addition Starfelt is out to justify his £4m price tag “It will of course take some time to fully settle into a new team but I feel like I’m getting better in every game. I’m enjoying life outside of football as well so that’s perfect.” Starfelt has an opportunity tonight to build his reputation at Celtic. Heading to Holland with a 2-0 lead, solidity in the backline may be all that’s needed to progress to the Europa League group stage. He added: “Of course it is important for us. We will do everything we can to get through and hopefully, we can then look forward to some fun games there. “The European nights are a big attraction for players to come here. It’s not many clubs that get European matches, only the top clubs in a good league. “My experiences of Celtic Park have been amazing so far, the fans have been so good, not only in the European games but in every game. “It’s going to be a big test. Alkmaar showed at Celtic Park that they are a very good team so we need to be ready.” Joe Hart (inset) also made big saves against AZ and will likely be needed to excel again to complete the mission. Starfelt added: “Joe is a very good guy, a very good goalkeeper and also a leader on the pitch and in the dressing room. “What a career he has had. You can learn a lot from such a player, even though we aren’t in the same position. You can learn from his mentality. “He’s always shouting at us and he’s demanding a lot from us, so that’s great. “We have to be solid defensively in every game but we are confident in our playing style and we just need to keep going with it and not change too much. “Do the stuff we are already doing but do it a little bit better.” hoops gaffer az building on his mind By Craig swan ANGE POSTECOGLOU urged his troops to seal a Europa League group spot and help build something special at Celtic. And the Aussie (right) admits he’s relishing being slap bang in the middle of a massive week for the club. Postecoglou heads into tonight’s decider against AK Alkmaar looking to convert a 2-0 first-leg lead into progression to the main event. He said: “It’s important for the club. It’s something that helps us in terms of building something for this year. “We obviously missed out on the Champions League which was disappointing, so this is a chance to set ourselves up to get a group stage in the Europa League and we know there are going to be some big games in there. “It gives us an opportunity to try and build something special for this year and beyond.It can set up big nights for both the players and the supporters. “You want to play against some of the other big clubs on the continent and the Europa League group stage gives you that. That opens more possibilities to do something special.”

50 IRISH DAILY MIRROR THURSDAY 26.08.2021 Gareth’s Barnes stormer By John Cross GARETH SOUTHGATE is considering a call-up for Harvey Barnes as he prepares to name an enlarged squad for England’s three World Cup qualifiers. Southgate will today name at least 25 players, and possibly more, for games against Hungary, Andorra and Poland. And the England boss could give a chance to Leicester winger Barnes (above), who was first capped last year but missed out on the Euros due to injury. They do have injuries in that department. Marcus Rashford is missing until October following shoulder surgery and Manchester City’s Phil Foden is also out. And Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has missed games after contracting Covid. Southgate looks set to recall Trent Alexander- Arnold (below), who missed the summer because of injury in England’s final warm-up game. There is also likely to be a chance for Mason Greenwood as the United forward is in excellent form. Wholesale changes are unlikely, although Danny Ings could get a chance after starting well at Aston Villa. Brighton centre-half Adam Webster has also impressed scouts. Arsenal’s £50million defender Ben White may be in if he returns a negative test in time – having tested positive for Covid. Burnley keeper Nick Pope is set to return after injury and Arsenal new boy Aaron Ramsdale is likely to be third choice at the expense of West Brom’s Sam Johnstone. The Three Lions play Hungary in Budapest a week today, before a match with Andorra at Wembley on September 5, ahead of the trip to Warsaw to tackle Poland on September 8. won of their own tottenham keep levy’s Dan By david mcdonnell @DiscoMirror Manchester cItY were insisting on tuesday night their focus was still on signing harry Kane from tottenham. By lunchtime the following day, the rug was pulled from under City, with Kane’s public declaration that he will now be staying at Spurs this summer, despite having agitated for a move. It is understood City did not have prior knowledge of Kane’s decision to go public and end speculation over his future by committing his immediate future to Spurs. But the unwillingness of chairman Daniel Levy to even enter into talks with City about his star striker meant it did not come as a huge surprise. City were not prepared to match Levy’s £150million valuation of Kane, considering it too high for a 28-year-old with little or no resale value, despite his profile and proven scoring prowess. Although the Premier League champions wanted Kane and knew he was desperate to join them to take his career to the next level, Levy’s refusal to City were in the dark over Kane’s call to stay at Spurs – now Pep’s got to look again for a No.9 negotiate meant the deal never around Europe’s top clubs.

Kane, a substitute against Wolves at the weekend, used social media to announce he was staying at his boyhood club after previously claiming he had a “gentleman’s agreement” to leave. He said: “It was incredible to see the reception from the Spurs fans on Sunday and to read some of the messages of support I’ve had in the last few weeks. I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100 percent focused on helping the team achieve success.” But after Spurs beat City and Wolves without Kane in the starting XI, Nuno (below) suggested he could remain on the bench for Sunday’s home game against Watford. Speaking ahead of tonight’s second leg against Pacos, he said: “We still have to decide. Harry is an option for this game. Then we will decide for the next one. “Nobody is guaranteed. We still have decisions to make for Pacos and the Watford game. Every day we have to decide.” City refused to go above their last bid of £125million due to financial restrictions, having already signed £100m Jack Grealish from Aston Villa. Kane, whose contract at Spurs runs to 2024, had hoped City would go back in for him. Guardiola: i’m off at end of my deal froM bacK page rigours of Premier League management and also outlined his intention to compete for the biggest honours in international football. By that time, the Spaniard will have spent seven full seasons in the City hot seat, making it his longest stint at any one club, having left Barcelona following four years and Bayern Munich after three seasons. Speaking during an XP Investimentos event, per Globo, Guardiola said: “Next step will be a national team, if there is a possibility. “I must take a break after seven years. I need to stop and see, learn from other coaches and maybe take that path. I would like to train for a European Championship, a Copa America, a World Cup.”

irishmirror.ie/sport their talisman it again Spurs chairman Levy waged a PR masterclass to hang on to striker – he kept quiet and held him to his contract By DaRReN leWIS @MirrorDarren THe winner – and still in possession of the best striker in the world – is Daniel Levy. The Tottenham chairman probably has as his ringtone the legendary cry from box- ing MC Michael Buffer: “Let’s get ready to rumble!” Particularly for any given transfer window within which the biggest clubs come knocking for his prize assets. At no stage this summer did it look as though Levy would lose Harry Kane – at least not for the ridiculous amounts being talked about. Manchester City blinked first rather than stump up the cash that would have given Levy something to think about. He isn’t quite Rod (“Show me the money!”) Tidwell from Jerry Maguire but, as everyone knows, this is far from Levy’s first transfer rodeo. This latest triumph will only enhance his reputation as one of the toughest negotiators in the game. In fact, Levy, 59, didn’t even have to negotiate. Fighting on two fronts, his was a masterclass in PR to get the fans on side. He simply kept quiet, safe in the knowledge that he had a goal machine who’d committed himself to a six-year deal which still had three years left to run. It is north London rivals Arsenal that allow their biggest assets to run down contracts and leave for free. Even his fiercest critics should be praising Levy (above) for the foresight which left him and Spurs in the box seat. He was quite right not to even pick up the phone to an offer of around £125million. It doesn’t come close to what three-time Premier League Golden Boot-winning Kane is worth. And the truth is, City preferred to invest their cash in Jack Grealish, rather than heap it all into a big pile and push it across the table to Spurs once Sergio Aguero had gone. So, Levy wins again. In fact, the winners are all in north London. Nuno Espirito Santo is a winner having originally planned for the coming season on the basis that he would be losing his star man. The team are the big winners as they have already seen off City and Wolves without conceding, showing a mentality that suggested they could move on chilled, but on the pitch he’s an animal. He’s perfect for the Premier League and without him. Kane (left) will only make them stronger. The fans too are winners as they had also resigned themselves to losing another of their big stars. Spurs haven’t even finished their summer spending yet with the club still looking at another striker and a winger, possibly Wolves’ Adama Traore. For a side that looked a shambles at the start of the summer due to their inability to recruit a new manager, they’ve ended it smelling of roses. And the rebuilding process is ongoing. New £46.7m defender Cristian Romero was described yesterday as “an animal” by another new recruit, his ex- Atalanta team-mate and No.2 keeper Pierluigi Gollini. Playmaker Bryan Gil has also moved to north London from Sevilla with Erik Lamela going the other way. Dele Alli has worked his way back into the first-team picture and with record-signing Tanguy Ndombele wanting out, Spurs intend to replace him with Lyon attacking midfielder Houssem Aouar. Should they land their targets, Spurs could become a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League. Kane now knows firsthand, they’d be following an example set by their chairman.

THURSDAY 26.08.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 51 COmmeNt By JOHN CROSS Chief Football Writer Harry is staying put.. and still has Spurs’ fans on his side HARRY KANE will be grateful for the way Tottenham’s fans have treated him throughout a rather ugly transfer saga. That has played a huge part in the outcome and why everyone can move on from this whole sordid affair which has been embarrassing for everyone… apart from Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. Kane went out on a limb in May to push for a move to Manchester City when he did an interview with Gary Neville about wanting a new challenge, and it quickly became apparent that he wanted to leave to win trophies. That could have gone badly for him, but the fans were fiercely loyal. Their anger was with Levy rather than their top scorer and the England captain, as they were almost ready to wish him well in his next move. In fact, the only time that remarkable relationship has ever been tested was when Kane did not report back on the first day of training. Tottenham said nothing publicly, Kane later let it be known he believed he had permission to report in later and at that point it all looked to be getting messy. City never remotely came close to getting to a figure which would have interested Levy or even made him pick up the phone, and you could even argue that they have hung him out to dry. Kane pushed for a move… which was never going to come off. A gentleman’s agreement was never going to cut it with Levy. And yet in Kane’s statement, it says very clearly he will be “staying at Tottenham this summer” and is “100 percent focused on helping the team achieve success”. Therefore, Kane is only talking about the immediate future and not the long term, let alone next year and what might happen then. Spurs’ fans sang his name at Wolves on Sunday when he came on as a sub and that familiar chant of ‘He’s One of Our Own’ rang around Molineux. No one should kid themselves. Kane wanted to leave, but he will be 29 next summer and it’s hard to believe anyone will pay £100million plus then. City will have to move on, Manchester United will probably look elsewhere and younger strikers like Erling Haaland will be available. It may mean that Kane (clapping the fans at Wolves, above) gets stuck at Spurs, becomes a one-club man, but nobody should knock that. He can establish himself as Tottenham’s greatest scorer of all time and one of their greatest players. If he is not already. plea Infantino wants Boris Johnson to let players travel Red-list ban could hurt World Cup bid from back page will not release their players for internationals next month if they are due to travel to red-list areas, as they would be forced into a 10-day quarantine when they come back to the UK.

Infantino wants the British Government to step in, but it is understood that Johnson will not intervene as he does not believe they can make football a special case because of the overwhelming health risks. But Infantino wants to see affected players given an exemption like at the Euros and Copa America – where stars like Manchester City’s Brazil keeper Ederson (above) were able to avoid all quarantine rules. In his statement, Infantino said: “I have written to Boris Johnson and appealed for support. “In particular, so players are not deprived of the opportunity of representing their countries in qualifying matches for the World Cup, which is one of the ultimate honours for a footballer. “I have suggested that an approach similar to that adopted by the UK Government for the final stages of the Euros be implemented for the upcoming international matches. “The release of players in the upcoming international windows is a matter of great importance.” The Premier League has held talks with FA bosses and sounded out the Government to see if there could be a way round the issue, but that looks unlikely. La Liga have also said they will support Spanish clubs who block call-ups.
