Fergal Keane: 'For Bazunu to refuse to play is a sacrifice that required immense moral courage. Ultimately, he was the lone voice who said no, and that will be remembered in the broken alleys of Gaza.'

After his time in the West Bank, he went back to Gaza and trained young footballers. Then October 7, 2023 happened. Then the war. On August 6 last year, he went to queue for food at an aid distribution site in southern Gaza and was killed by Israeli fire.

Suleiman al-Obeid left behind his wife and five children. He is not the only Palestinian footballer to be killed. Local officials put the death toll of players in the hundreds. Sports facilities and school playgrounds have been destroyed.

Gavin Bazunu and his colleagues on the Ireland team surely know about Suleiman al-Obeid. They share with him something precious: the knowledge that the moment you don your country’s shirt, in whatever code, you become a representative of the nation. It is a privilege and a responsibility.

For Bazunu to refuse to play is a sacrifice that required immense moral courage. Ultimately, he was the lone voice who said no, and that will be remembered in the broken alleys of Gaza.

Manchester City’s cheat code will inevitably involve a long drawn out appeal. But, having been found guilty of such malign conduct, they must face the most severe punishment. That means relegation to L2, as a minimum, rather than meaningless multi million pound sanctions.

I'm not an avid football fan and have no club allegiances, but I was delighted to receive my copy of "Partick Thistle A People's History" today, written by my good friend @kennypieper.bsky.social. I'm a dozen pages in and already charmed by the excellent writing, fantastic photography and design. ♥️💛

This is exactly it. The joy of the Commonwealth Games is that it's Guernsey and the Falklands doing stuff in sports that a few people care deeply about but which will never trouble the sports pages.
