A statement on yesterday….. Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round. I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything….. My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too Thank you all x

Almost 200 people came together today to complete 120 laps around the Clearer Twist National Stadium at Windsor Park, covering the equivalent distance from Belfast to Daisy Lodge! 🏟️ From families who have benefited from Cancer Fund for Children's services to @NorthernIreland football legends, it was truly heartwarming to see our Green and White Army come together in support of such an incredible charity 💚🤍 Whether you took part, donated or simply followed along and supported us on the journey today, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you 👏 There's still time to support this fantastic cause and make a donation 🌼 🔗 justgiving.com/page/irishfac…

We're trying to make this a 'thing', so putting the same message out for tomorrow night against Georgia 🇬🇪 Stick your Northern Ireland top on over something else, or if you wear it below your coat, take the coat off for the teams coming out then cover up again. Let's build it up

I’m told tonight is the final NI game for David Currie, head of international operations. 30 years with the IFA, a pleasure to deal with. He’ll be missed by many both inside and outside the association. I’ve no doubt he’ll put his vast experience to good use in the next chapter.

Another big night tonight! Our Windsor Roar 'call' is 'Show Us Your Shirts!" What we're asking everyone to do is take off the coat or hoodie for the teams coming out so we have a proper Sea of Green to welcome our players onto the pitch. Spread the word. Get involved!
