The FAI Oireachtas meeting going about as well as to be expected. As in, not well at all.

There's more than enough evidence at this point that we are living in the worst possible timeline.

I've largely tuned out of the City stuff as Ireland have preoccupied my limited brain capacity. But my God. They're fucked!

It's that time of year where I try and fail to keep up with the MLB playoffs.

Shook to wake to the news of the passing of Ben Satterley, the Bastard Pac. Another great wrestler and even better human being lost.

Whatever the worst case scenario was for this international break, Ireland have managed to find it. Distraction, splits an in-fighting, while the game goes ahead anyway. Israelis can't believe their luck.

Always fascinated by the Irish commentariot that 1) are (or purport themselves to be) religious, 2) inherently make everything political - but challenge Ireland's stance on the killing of children in Gaza + making sport/art political.

Is the Ireland thing resonating anywhere? Maybe if they had boycotted the game it would have taken off. But it seems most reporting is dominated by Man City.

Ireland, unsurprisingly dreadful tonight. Hard to see a future for this manager - five centre backs versus Kosovo, who in fairness were pretty good, and an utterly woeful approach to football. Yet it looks like we're tied to him til 2028.

This international break Ireland are preparing for two Nations League games against Israel, who are currently engaged in an active genocide in Palestine.

The Ireland Israel thing is an absolute shitshow, let down once again by leadership. I have so much sympathy for the team. The game shouldn't be going ahead, but if it does, I will feel very uncomfortable with the blowback the players will inevitably get from some quarters.

It's OK to think Wirtz has been good in some areas while also expecting more end product from him, especially given the fee paid.

That fucking sucks for Caleb Williams.

Good win in the end ahead of the break. Still not fully sure if its that unsustainable type of winning we started last season with, but signs are... OK.

Kevin Coleman @gobb.ie · 20/09/2026
Araujo is so much more mobile and tidy on the ball than I was expecting. Which I should've given him more credit for, coming from Barca. Super signing.

Sounds like Carragher on Sky (although a lot of what he says is justified).

Gakpo once again forcing something into existence. He's having a good season so far.

Nothing can go through Wirtz and this midfield. It's astonishing.

The state of Sheeran's mealy mouthed, teleprompter speech last night. An utter doofus.

Almost every clip I see from US sports television is infuriating. I don't know you guys watch it.

Irish sports coverage is generally always - or at least wants to be seen to be - virtuous and principled. That's good and equates to my own values. But I'm increasingly finding it a bit too sanctimonious and, often, Only When It Suits Them.

After midweeks game, today has been a real fall back to earth. Like a bunch of lads who've never met each other before.

I would take Szoboszlai off at half time.

Araujo getting lots of love, but lads, Jeremy Jacquet. Two back to back 90 mins, started all four games, having not kicked a ball since February, and not one toe out of place. We have a baller on our hands.

Really encouraging couple of games for Isak. It seems a switch has flicked on and he's been much livelier and involved. Good signs.

Araujo has been a steal, so far.

Very sad to hear about The Butcher, Andy Williams. I didn't know much about his music, but in wrestling he had a unique look and eye catching style, and behind it all seemed like an unbelievably cool and kind guy.
