Sorry folks, but having considered things from all angles, I have to conclude that this good boy, Bundí, is the best dog in Ireland. 🏆 YesyouareyesyouareyouareSUCHagooddog

This is how history will record this. Shame on our government, on the FAI, and on anyone who is pressuring anyone to play this game. #FAI #stopthegame

I’m disappointed in the players but I’m furious with the FAI and the Irish government to let it get this far.

I don’t envy any of them given where they find themselves, but they’ve made the worst possible decision. Their protests will cause the FAÍ and possibly themselves to be disciplined anyway, so why not just pull out? Have to believe there’s been huge pressure put on them to play. #FAI #stopthegame

Fair play to Bazunu for putting his head above the parapet and trying. Shame on the FAI.

If the Irish team pull out and stay together, they will be far greater heroes and examples than they could ever have been on the pitch. It might even be an action that would break the dam. Have courage lads, we’re all behind you. #FAI

It's so fucking depressing and humiliating to beg and beg and beg for our country to do the right thing JUST ONCE, despite it clearly being something the vast majority of Irish people support. But no - the small people clinging to the levers of power will go their own way, to our eternal shame.

I don’t care about the fallout, sometimes right is right with no room for argument. The Irish players should NOT play the games against Israel. No matter the implications, we as a society can handle it and can help the players to. I want to be proud of Irish teams - only one route to that #FAI

Been thinking and saying this for a while; the World is splitting into two peoples. The “fuck-you-I’m-all-right Jacks” and the “we’re all in this togetherites”. And they CANNOT coexist in peace; the Jacks want what the togetherites believe should be shared. I know the side I’m on. #punchanazitoday

Kevin Doyle and Stephen Bradley the pick of the pundits for me so far. Doyle seems to start every comment with a silent “For Fuck’s Sake”, and Bradley has a hint of menace, a deadly penetrating understanding, and both deliver brilliantly, without even a *trace* of spoof #worldcup #rte

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

How come the only people I know who are involved in these protests are people who have already, over the years, shown their ability to be a gobshite when required? Who out there is a non-racist, non-antivax, non-conspiracist who is *actually protesting the price of fuel*?

The self-appointed "leaders" of the Fuel Protests are truly scum of the Earth. Why our media choose to interview the likes of Duffy here re the protests is beyond me. Do they really think he cares one iota about anyone but his own self?
