#TOURE

Celtic completed the signing of ex-liverpool defender Kolo Toure on a one-year deal. @Oldfirmfacts1 quipped: “Kolo Toure refusing to comment on Clint Hill comparisons due to headache brought on by the glare from his 2 Premier League winner’s medals.” @Radicalcelt tweeted: “Celtic fans everywhere, we need to mobilise. We need an original chant for Kolo Toure, and quickly.” @daviddc2m joked: “Kolo Toure’s going to love it when he sees all those Ivory Coast flags at Parkhead.”

#MCDONNELL

In a TV interview, Labour deputy leader John Mcdonnell called for the party to unite behind Jeremy Corbyn against those seeking to oust the leader. @hansmollman wrote: “Was watching Marr this morning when my 2yo spat out his dummy to ask why the Shadow Chancellor, John Mcdonnell, was breaking the 4th wall.” @Jimspencesport offered: “If what John Mcdonnell has just explained on TV is true, then there are people in the Labour Party who are a disgrace and without decency.” @gary_whitley said: “It’s now clear that the establishment are going fight dirty in their war against Corbyn/ Mcdonnell leadership. Members must hold firm.” @Eclectic_blue tweeted: “John Mcdonnell’s best quote was “We don’t believe in leaders” and judging from his preferred candidate you know he means it.”

#RUSSIA

The IOC decided against a blanket ban of all Russian athletes at the Rio Olympics next month. @danroan wrote: “So we won’t know how many of Russia’s 387-strong Olympic team will actually qualify for Rio for 12 days. Games start in 12 days. Farcical.” @_Paulhayward said: “Have been saying for a long time that Putin’s Russia wields vast hidden power. IOC just didn’t want to ban them - and found a way not to.” @stevemagness tweeted: “Sad day in sport. Not because Russia wasn’t banned but because we get to see clearly who IOC is and how long we have to go for change. $$$” @benbloomsport said: “Absolutely crazy that IOC allows Russia to compete in Rio but not Yulia Stepanova, the person to thank for blowing doping regime open.”
