I watched this a few weeks back. Quite disturbing that this nonsense was happening simultaneously over here. Watching it was quite hard, i forgot how involved i got taking on those brain dead dorks. Anyway...go to this

Also reported by @gcooney93.bsky.social in the Irish Times tonight that following the team meeting and vote, some players “turned on Bazunu, one of whom is understood to have abused him to his face”

Surely a boycott of the FAI now has to be in peoples' minds, considering their refusal to represent our country, our culture and our solidarity on the world stage. #ireland #spéirghorm #stopthegame #FAIlures

The exhibition marks a “momentous occasion for the Cork queer community”. 👉 buff.ly/n5nKXw8 #GCNnews
An inside look at the LGBTQ+ exhibition in the Cork Public Museum. It has a blue and purple gradient with the GCN logo and the article's title that reads: "We Were Always Here: Inside Ireland's first permanent LGBTQ+ exhibition in Cork". At the bottom of the image, a message says: "Read more on www.gcn.ie at the link in bio".

As someone who lost their father to golf. I can take solace in the fact that even he wouldn't lower himself like these absolute dorks. Golf fans have somehow become worse. (Something we thought was unimaginable in the 1980s)

Your reminder that the English Beat icon "Beat Girl" is a transgender woman named Brigitte Bond from a photo of her dancing with ska musician Prince Buster at Heathrow in 1964 and none of us will be as cool as she was.

Dyson's security flashed his handgun at my brother when my brother asked why there was private security telling him to leave the place where we have picnicked and camped all our lives. I wonder what concealed firearms this entitled dork will bring to the locality

Could Cork City Council get its act together and provide a route to Tramore Valley Park from Ballyphehane? It's starting to feel personal. I had to drive to the park to get 2 kids there safely.
