They were all protesting Trump’s recent visit too and the increase it caused in fuel prices, right? Right?! #SpeirGorm

I wonder what would happen if we ever had a government that promised to invest in the economy the UK had, rather than promised to invest in an economy it wished we had? 🤔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brendan O’Connor asks smugly “would any of those players have seen Netanyahu’s speech at the UN?” These are not boys or idiots. They are full grown men with agency. The narrative that footballers can’t be expected to understand politics or the world is patronising nonsense. #StoptheGame #SpeirGorm

The argument that Ireland played countries such as Yugoslavia under Milosevic and Russia under Putin implicitly puts Israel - a supposed democratic lawful country - into the same category as them. It’s not quite the gotcha you’d think. #StoptheGame #SpeirGorm

The ongoing situation around Gazan student visas is an embarrassment. One government department has offered these students scholarships, but another won't approve their visas. The Minister for Justice and the Minister for Foreign Affairs must communicate, and resolve this fiasco.

I don’t coach anywhere near this level but always frustrating when referees play advantage when a player keeps possession- even with opponents around him. Possession is not always an advantage to a chance to play a set piece into the box. Rant over. #SpeirGorm www.extratime.com/articles/379...
