In turn, I hope I have delivered memories and moments that have brought happiness to the Liverpool supporters.“Moving to Liverpool, I knew the club’s greatness and history but what I did learn during my time was the unique heart and soul of the place. It has its own personality and character.“I leave Liverpool because Barcelona is a dream for me. Liverpool was a dream that I was fortunate enough to realise and I have given five years of my life to it.“A career on the pitch only lasts for so long and to play for Barcelona as well as Liverpool is something I want to experience and enjoy while I am blessed enough to be able to do so.“I hope the supporters understand that choosing to experience something new is not about diminishing their importance to me or the club’s importance. Nothing will ever diminish that in my heart.“I wish Jurgen and the team nothing but joy and success for the rest of this season and beyond. This is an amazing team and they are getting better and better all the time.“There are too many people I want to thank, but I cannot name everyone individually.“To all the amazing club staff who have been part of my life in Liverpool – I will miss you.“To the owners, whom have tried so hard to bring success, and to the football recruitment staff for showing faith in me to bring me here and rewarding me during that journey, and to my incredible teammates, past and present, who have helped me grow and improve as a player and a person, I would like to say thank you to you all.“Anything I have achieved here would not have been possible without you.“And finally, to the most important people of Liverpool – the Liverpool supporters. I can never thank you enough for what you have given me during this time and no matter where I go in the world, for the rest of my life, I will always cherish Liverpool in my heart. You, the club and the city will always be a part of me.“You’ll Never Walk Alone.”Coutinho will have to wait around three weeks to make his debut after sustaining a thigh injury and he will not be able to play in the Champions League this season having already played for Liverpool in the current campaign.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Barcelona’s new Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho poses with his new jersey during his official presentation in Barcelona on January 8, 2018LONDON, United Kingdom, Jan 9 – Philippe Coutinho has posted an emotional farewell message to Liverpool in which he talks about the “beauty of the club and its fans”.The Brazilian completed his Sh20bn (£146m) move to Barcelona on Monday, signing a five-and-a-half year deal.

Jason celebrates after last this morning’s win.Jason Quigley barely broke a sweat to win his fourth professional fight in LA in the early hours of this morning.The Ballybofey man took just one minute and 34 seconds to stop his latest opponent Lanny Dardar at the Belasco Theatre.The Donegal boxer was busy from the first bell and had Dardar on the canvass twice before the referee jumped in to stop the contest. None of Quigley’s four opponents to date have lasted the distance.Jason’s manager the legendary Oscar De La Hoya has said he is expected great things of Quigley.Speaking after the fight, Jason said he had planned to take it slowly but things didn’t quite work out that way in the ring.“My strategy was to really take my time. That didn’t really happen because I landed a few shots and as soon as I landed them I saw they hurt him so I had to take him out as soon as I could.” JASON BARELY BREAKS A SWEAT TO MAKE IT FOUR WINS IN A ROW was last modified: March 7th, 2015 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:Jaosn QuigleyLAwin

Even the Milford district has shown an increase, albeit with still small numbers with five reports so far this year compared to just one last year.“The simple advise here is ‘Go out & lock your car’ it really is that simple,” said Sgt Wallace.“Car owners in this county should be acutely aware of the selective targeting by criminals of parked cars and vans in urban and isolated rural areas as we recently had a spate of such crimes in Termon and Buncrana.“In the summer we find that parked vehicles in scenic areas of the county can be targeted by criminals so it is important to lock up and put items out of view.”Here’s some facts – and some simple tips to make the thieves job harder. Did you Know?➢ €220 is the average value of items stolen from cars.➢ €6.6 Million worth of property has been taken.➢ Laptops, Tablet Devices, & Cash are the targeted items. ➢ 1 in 4 cars parked in driveways were unlocked.➢ 1 in 3 had windows broken as valuables were visible inside.This initiative, provides An Garda Síochána, with an opportunity to further pledge its’ commitment, to deepen and develop ‘Policing in Partnership’ with our communities, in order to promote and support safer communities.What is the overall aim of the Crime Prevention ‘Day of Action’?To highlight this type of crime amongst the public in Co Donegal & to seek the assistance of the vehicle owners to be proactive in deterring by taking simple steps which will delay, deter and defeat the criminal.Tips:1. Lock it or lose it.2. Put away visible property.3. Overnight park in well lit areas if possible or areas covered by cctv.4.
