#IANCATHRO

Hearts parted company with head coach Ian Cathro five days before the start of the season. Exiting the Betfred Cup in the group stage increased the pressure on the club to remove the 31-year-old from his position. @mrewanmurray noted: “People struggling to hide personal animosity towards Craig Levein. Reality is Hearts got one head coach appointment wrong. It happens.” @Rorysmith posted: “Real shame it didn’t work out for Ian Cathro at Hearts, but it’d be a bigger shame if it meant coaches who haven’t played were written off.” @Rfborthwick tweeted: “Important reminder that Ian Cathro’s Hearts beat Rangers 4-1.” @Jsavagetweets shared: “Ian Cathro’s sacking has made the League Cup Group Stages. It’s not a pre-season warm-up. It’s a deadly trap for Premiership teams.”

#SCARAMUCCI

Anthony Scaramucci was removed as communications director of the Trump administration. He lasted only 11 days in the job. @Futureboy observed: “I did the math, and #Scaramucci lasted for exactly 2,400 plays of Bohemian Rhapsody.” @ADIC33 posted: “The wife and daughter of the country’s chief vulgarian were offended by #Scaramucci’s language. That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard!” @Thisisjennyg joked: “I’m still on the same roll of toilet paper that I started when the Mooch was hired as Communications Director.” @Startedtweeting noted: “Donald Trump is repealing and replacing everything but Obamacare.” @lauraduclos_ said: “Excited to add to my vocab: ‘Be there in half a Scaramucci.’ ‘He was gone in a #Scaramucci’ ”

#FAVECHILDRENSLIT

Readers celebrated children’s literature by selecting favourites. @Ali_song_rant said: “One of the best bits of being a parent has been sharing beloved stories with my children.” @Mrswubbleyou chose: “Something old – can never forget the magic of Narnia and the longing I had to go there and be part of the adventure.” @Mcintoshkj tweeted: “How am I meant to choose my #favechildrenslit? There are many, but The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark by Jill Tomlinson was special.”
