Awful news. I have so many amazing memories of The Frames and his solo gigs, most recently in 2024 but going back probably 25 years; just incredible live. So sad. Glen Hansard, singer, frontman of The Frames and Oscar winner, has died aged 56 jrnl.ie/7116253

Not that long ago, this would have had serious consequences for a number of people at Fifa. Today? Water off a duck's back. The problem is not just corruption, but how it is now felt that corruption is the default modus operandi of corporations and governments. In other words, "normal". It is not.

The best case scenario is Spurs escape relegation this season and ENIC become so rattled by the whole affair and realise they’re not cut out for club ownership that they decide to sell the club at less than they were hoping to get when they first opened the new stadium.

Ratcliffe's comments were anti-football The game has many problems, but one of its virtues is inclusivity, and multiple examples show this Its mass platform can also expose the poverty of thinking from billionaires who decide they like its popularity www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ratcliffe should learn about his own club before spouting his nonsense
Ratcliffe’s clumsily ill-advised comments on immigration were plainly anti-football and reignites the argument that clubs be owned by supporters, not private or state interests, writes Miguel Delaney

If the FAI won’t boycott then I hope the players will. Also curious to see if RTE or other broadcasters will show it; RTE considered Israel’s participation in Eurovision “unconscionable” after all. #FAI #NationsLeague #COYBIG

To my mind, this is exactly the right take. AI has a number of useful applications but is being vastly oversold in order to make venture capitalists and AI company executives and investors richer. We saw it with bitcoin, NFTs and the blockchain and we are seeing it again but on an even larger scale.
