George Saville will never complain about lack of recognition for his hard work
George Saville will never complain about a lack of recognition for his work in the Millwall and Northern Ireland engine rooms, but when praise came his way at the end of the season he was delighted to get it. Saville has made his career out of doing the dirty work in midfield, the sort of unglamorous role which can go unnoticed. But the 30-year-old was third in the running for Millwall’s player of the season award after being singled out by manager Gary Rowett for praise during a play-off push which fell short on the final day of the Championship season as Blackburn came from 3-1 down to win 4-3 at The Den. “With the manager having that trust in me, how he spoke to me at the back end of the season was fantastic and to get recognition at that level was great,” Saville told the PA news agency. “I’ve had a good season personally, my confidence is good, my fitness is good. It’s just a shame we missed out on the play-offs on the final day when it was in our hands. But that’s football. “You learn lessons and hopefully that makes the team stronger. For me as an individual I do what I can every time I step on the pitch and long may it continue.” Saville is playing some of the best football of his career, and was a strong performer again as Northern Ireland suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Group H top seeds Denmark, working tirelessly to support young, relatively inexperienced colleagues in his side’s injury-ravaged midfield. “I enjoy the hard work and that side of the game,” Saville added. “In club football I do the same thing, I play a deeper role for Millwall. A lot of work goes unnoticed but I don’t need a pat on the back or for anyone to say well done for doing this or that. “I don’t need a high profile, I’m happy to do what I need to do for the team and if that goes unnoticed so be it. As long as it helps the team that’s the main thing.” Friday was Saville’s 45th cap but he is yet to score in international football, a fact he is not always happy to be reminded of. Saville gets his share of goals at club level, and remains convinced he can one day get on the scoresheet for Northern Ireland. “I wouldn’t say it plays on my mind,” he said. “I’ve had opportunities to score. For club level I’ve scored goals, it’s just something that I feel like will still come. I don’t think about it much, I’m more focused on the team. “I’m in the right areas. I’m an optimistic person. I think it will come but the main objective for me now is qualifying for a major championships.” Saville is enjoying once again working under Michael O’Neill, the man who gave him his international debut in 2017, and who returned to the Northern Ireland job in December after a spell at Stoke. “Michael first brought me in so for me it’s great,” he said. “We’ve got a great relationship and understanding and he’s someone I really enjoy working with, I really enjoy having Michael as a manager. “As a person he’s the same old Michael. He’s had different experiences and he’s come back to a different squad. We’ve lost a few experienced lads. “In the last couple of camps it’s been a young squad and now they are coming through and it’s become more that way. It’s a different situation for us and for him and one we’re all adapting to and trying to give ourselves the best opportunity.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live David Brooks accepts people will start to doubt Wales following Armenia defeat Michael O’Neill not thinking about Northern Ireland qualifying for Euro 2024 Gareth Southgate wants England to retain winning mentality on road to Euro 2024

Plus-size TikToker calls for bigger facilities in hotels when travelling
Plus-size TikToker calls for bigger facilities in hotels when travelling
A plus-sized TikToker has called on hotels to become more accessible - but not everyone agrees with her. Posting on the platform, the woman named Jaelynn said she was "on a mission to revolutionise the travel industry and make it a more accessible, accepting, and accommodating place for all" and listed 10 ways in which the hotel industry could be improved. She said: "The needs of plus-size travellers matter just as much as anybody else’s." "We deserve an environment that respects our needs and body diversity,” she added. @jaebaeofficial ? Embracing Inclusivity in Hospitality ? Creating a space where every guest feels valued and comfortable is essential. Size-inclusive hotel amenities are more than just accommodations – they're a statement of respect for diverse needs and body types. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ From spacious chairs to thoughtful bathroom facilities, every detail matters. Elevators, pool areas, and dining spaces should be designed to ensure ease of movement and relaxation. Let's make travel truly accessible and welcoming for travelers of all sizes and abilities. ?⁣⁣ •⁣⁣ •⁣⁣ •⁣⁣ #InclusiveHospitality #TravelWithComfort #RespectAndDiversity #PlusSizeTravel #PlusSizeFriendly #InclusiveTravel #AccessibleTravel #SizeFriendly #TravelInclusivity #Fyp Jaelynn's requests were as follows: “Provide sturdy and wider chairs without armrests” “Ensure beds with strong support and a high weight capacity” “Make elevators and hallways spacious” “Install grab-bars in showers and near toilets” and add other shower help. “Train staff to be respectful, understanding, and accommodating to travelers of all sizes” “Provide pool lifts and handrails at the entry of the pool” “Hotel restaurants should have roomy seating options” “Offer larger beach and pool seating” “Hotels should include side-inclusive bathrobes" “Display clear and accurate information on these amenities on hotel websites” But responding to the video, some people thought her preferences were not feasible. "I agree with some but others are just not possible," one said. "The amount of money it will take to make all of these changes is unreal." Another said: "I agree this is ideal, but some of these are out of the hotel control. Lift size for example." And a third said: "You have no idea how construction works. This is not physically or monetarily possible." What do you think? Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
