#ROYALWEDDING
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their engagement the public rejoiced in getting a bank holiday. Or so they assumed. @Robynhfrost acknowledged: “Hearing ‘royal wedding’ and immediately thinking ‘bank holiday’” @Profkumi said: “Prince Harry marry her swiftly please I would like bank holiday” @Owenjones84 demanded: “Give us the bank holiday or else” @isamyelyah noted: “IMO everyone should just sack off work and pretend we all thought it was a bank holiday” @abeislegend noted: “It doesn’t matter if they *think* we’re not having a bank holiday; WE ARE HAVING A BANK HOLIDAY”
#BETFREDCUPFINAL
Brendan Rodgers equalling Jock Stein’s record of four domestic trophies in a row for Celtic was overshadowed by a poor refereeing decision from Craig Thomson, with debate still swirling around Scott Sinclair’s penalty and whether Cedric Kipre should still have been on the park to make the ‘challenge’. @Lawrieannebrown tweeted: “Expected more from Scott Sinclair. Clear dive, not like him, to be honest. Killed the game” @bobby__peru noted: “That’s the worst decision I’ve seen since Kipre’s over the top challenge on Dembele that didn’t even result in a free kick about an hour ago.” @606Alfieconn asked: “Can Kipre be punished by the compliance officer for the tackle on Dembele? Asking for a friend” @jennaax135 posted: “If today’s Betfred Cup final doesn’t give reason for video technology to be installed within Scottish football, I don’t know what will” @Oldfirmfacts1 joked: “Dilemma for Celtic fans, who must now weigh up whether they prefer a dodgy penalty and red card or something to moan about”
#DIEHARD
Does the 1988 Bruce Willis action thriller that’s set at Christmas count as a festive film? The question has become a staple of the Yuletide period. @Tobyontv said: “Die Hard is not a Christmas film, it just happens to be set at Christmas, like Lethal Weapon” @greg_jenner offered: “Die Hard is about Christmas – it’s a family redemption story about about personal suffering in the service of fellow man, in defiance of systemic avarice. It’s pure Dickens. But with machine guns”
