I'll be the last of the Wirtz boat. It HAS to be psychological. Which is so addressable.

Isn't he just. I hope Wirtz has a monster second half. I really back thr guy but the transfer just seems to weigh heavy.

There's a LinkedIn post to be made about Liverpool's Kostas Tsimikas. The Greek Scouser won three trophies at Anfield and seemed to be finished after a load to Roma. Tonight, he caps a triumphant return to the mix by captaining Liverpool in the Champions League. Honestly. Amazing.

I'm going to assume the street cleaners of Dublin are on strike today as well and if you've never appreciated the work they do, you can 100% see it after just one day

Is it considered socially awkward to not leave your bank than charges a monthly fee and gives very little back in return? 🤔

The state of mental health services in Ireland. UMAAP emailed their list of interested people today saying funding cuts meant they were going to pull workshops for people with ADHD. They needed 10k. People's well being was 10k away from being made worse until people donated. What the hell.

Significantly this week, Lidl Connect launched on Monday. By Tuesday, Gomo was giving 5G to their legacy 9.99 + 4G only customers. They've done so somewhat quietly because they also offered the 9.99 customers 5G for €5 per month. Even more quietly - they've been letting those who paid €5 go back

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.

I think it's getting legs purely because we don't want to lay all that blame at the players feet. When I think of the Dunnes workers, it's hard to use it as an out for rich footballers. Realistically we expected too much from lads that kick leather. Bazunu aside

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.

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

I've got massive concerns this is going to fizzle out. But I'd three players are out and they all wear big sticky gloves - it's enough.

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.

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.

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.

A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:

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.
