Palestine Action is illegal. This is not? Baffling.

Stomach-wrenching. I've seen countless bloody videos from Gaza, so I thought I knew what to expect. But this shows the destruction of a community. Of a people. Watching individuals being murdered is horrific. Seeing whole neighbourhoods razed is somehow worse.

Well. That sums up my feelings perfectly. No reaction to a meaningless scoreline or empty action on a pitch we should have never been on. Heimir also spoke after the game about leaders. Fucking toothless chatter boxing. Not dram or respect for anyone but Bazunu.

A lot said about players on social media and the content they're exposed to. If any of them watched Brian Kerr tonight and still play the last shred of respect is gone.

What has emerged at a later part of the FAI press conference: Knowing the circumstances of the upcoming games, the FAI did a trawl of prospective callups and checked with abut 30 of the most likely players to ensure they were comfortable fulfilling those fixtures. Goalkeepers were not among them.

Hallgrimsson being grilled by Israeli journalists about the Irish team in the 1930s... Asking an Icelandic man who wasn't even born then, very intelligent stuff.

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

Whatever your opinion on the game going ahead or not, there is a question mark over for me as a fan of Gavin Bazunu being singled out. No sense of numbers in how many players notionally joined him in voting against the game. You'd forgive him for feeling isolated to some extent now.

Watching Ireland play football can be tough at times. Yet we do it. I've been to home games and I know plenty of people who travel the world for them. I don't think I've ever been so at odds with a team I support. And for them to be representative of a nation and to so at odds with the majority

It's pure shite that it has come down the players though. The FAI should have backed them, and got them out of the game.

The government has been hypocritical. The FAI has been cowardly. UEFA has been shameful. The players may be on the verge of showing them all up by being the only ones willing to do the right thing. #StopTheGame

As this players meeting is ongoing, immediate communication from govt to the FAI is needed. Govt need to tell FAI that if the players refuse to play they will get 100% political support. #StopTheGame

Context to Gavin Bazunu’s position: a matchday squad of 23 must be submitted to UEFA before midnight tonight, and *must* include three goalkeepers. Were he to simply refuse to play, the FAI would only be able to submit a squad if they (farcically) redesignated an outfielder as a goalkeeper.

It shouldn't have been left to the players to stand up for humanity. But they now have a chance to become hero's not just here in Ireland but all over the world. Come on boys in green #DontPlay & #StopTheGame #Speirghorm

If Big Gav is out, all it takes is Max O'Leary or Kelleher to say no and there's no way we could play with just one keeper.

DHL delivered a package to me first time yesterday without drama. No calls. No emails. No multiple date changes. So I want you to know there's hope the Irish team does the right thing and pulls out. Because stranger things have happened.

The inconvenience of the EU presidency to city dwellers is not insignificant and I really question what the value of it all is. This morning I saw a Garda on a bike roaring at a pedestrian for trying to cross on green because of a motorcade.

Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.
Panel 1: 
Titled:“How we thought robots would kill us”
A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

Has anyone done a PR crisis analysis of Ed Sheeran the past week? Clearly speaking off a teleprompter and then apologising for apologising is pretty poor.

On the one hand I agree. On the other this expectation takes the responsibility from those that should act. But, ultimately someone should act whoever can act.

Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words
"Free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, "I don't take sides."

I got an interesting update from the DPC today. They've not heard of a breach/leak from Revolut. As the one stop shop location for Europe and EU customers affected I would expect the DPC to have been informed as part of Revoluts initial tranche of notifications. Heavily suggesting this is US based

If you're wondering what's going on with the Revolut leak this will be updated. Right now, no Irish customers are known to be involved.

Marty Meany @martinmeany.goosed.ie · 14/09/2026
The Revolut leak is bad. Very bad. But this reporting is irresponsible. To my knowledge there has been zero reported access to an Irish account. Revolut locks accounts for a variety of reasons - including to protect customer money.

I attended a press event. 100s of people in a room looking at product launches. Tiktok flagged it as sponsored content. It's not. Access is what I got. My annoyance stems from how over-zealous that system is versus non existent content moderation involving racism, homophobia etc.
