Did you know that Mick McCarthy refused to shake Margaret Thatcher's hand in 1988, before the Scottish Cup Final?

Jim McNally:

"A few didn't get involved and the one who refused point-blank was Mick McCarthy," reports Walker. "He was from Barnsley and the son of a miner. Shaking hands with her was a no-no for Mick."

Mick McCarthy, legend 💚

I recently got a great opportunity to design and paint a local shop's windows, in support of the Irish women's football team for the FIFA Women's World Cup.

If you're in the northside of Cork City anytime soon, make sure to head up to Con's Shop to check them out for yourself!

Excited to see #Ireland getting new kits, esp before the women make their #WorldCup debut, but idk how I feel about being a test run in the #international game, esp when the first pro deal was with #sevco 👀

The new #crest is fantastic though, and loooooooong overdue
