I was amazed he parred 17 tbh and got to 18 in the lead. Bag of nerves.

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

Oh god. I just had a terrifying thought. Cork losing an All-Ireland *HURLING* final to Dublin. I’d have to leave the county.

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

I actually got chills hahahaha what a fucking signing man

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Have zero time for signing this weirdo. Hope Liverpool see sense and avoid.

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Absolute wonderful news to hear Trent was crap in his debut this evening 🥰

But seriously I would be gutted to see Robbo go. It would’ve been amazing if he was willing to be a rotating option with Kerkez but I can understand from his pov why he rather not. Just what a fella. The best left back I’ve ever seen play for Liverpool by a country mile. Love him.

Arne getting rid of Caoimhin and Robbo is it? We will need to address his clear hatred for celtic people whenever he decides to come home from Ocean Beach…

There is obviously no guarantee that Liverpool will be better either. But all the evidence over the past 10 yrs is that Liverpool consistently make smart decisions, so I’m just fascinated how every summer when the BBC Top 4 predictions graphic drops, Liverpool will sit 3rd and 4th for the majority.

It’s interesting because it’s a continuation of a pattern where the default position of “football people” in the media is to be sceptical about Liverpool, going into a new season. No matter how often this crop prove them wrong. And it’s always based on little more than “it just can’t go on”.

Found it interesting in TAW’s “In Their Shoes” series, how Jonathan Liew challenged the suggestion that Liverpool should be aiming to be better than PSG - insinuating that they’re gonna “struggle” a lot more.

Can’t stop thinking about that eruption of cheering when Trent goes up to receive his league winners medal. The holy mortifying embarrassment of that reception now. Need someone to mute it across all the footage that exists.

“Trent” on the back of the shirt. Fluent in Spanish already. Yeah sorry Jürgen but he should’ve been booed again vs Palace.

The issue is the convoluted link with the actual qualifiers and to be honest, I think UEFA would be better off making the Nations League (in an enhanced capacity) the sole structure of qualification for major tournaments. ‘Andorra v England’-like games of football are in no one’s interest.

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Loads love to dunk on the Nations League - mainly out of club-focused snobbery - but it’s been a complete success imo. The League A finals are always great, and the stories of the likes of Georgia, Albania, North Macedonia qualifying for tournaments speaks volumes for it lower down as well.

Caoimhin took that goal kick like a CHAMPION if you ask me

Advance notice to all political pundits and columnists: you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to him

Of all the big European teams to be good, Spain are defo the most fun ones when they are.

verdict: he’s great *and* a little shit. getting a tattoo of him on my eyeballs as we speak.

The mid-September international break is the best one. Been there since the beginning of time, and heads absolutely go at the horror of having to pause the season 5 games in. Like clockwork every year.

Might go back onto twitter to see the usual shock and anger at international football taking place during the same time period it does every year. Sense of comfort to seeing it.

On Wirtz watch atm. A glorious evening.

Yeah this is defo to the benefit of Ireland as well. Playing regularly with Collins too is a good thing.

I agree. Was worried he’d go to a Championship team just promoted and be bombarded with shots all season long. Think Brentford fits well, given they like to try and play football plus they’ve big lads everywhere to compensate for Caoimh’s height.

But yeah, I just hope his career blossoms now even further and a full season as Brentford’s number 1 sets him up nicely to be Ireland’s number 1 at the World Cup next summer……

And yes, he’s not Alisson. Could never understand why so many held Caoimhin not being of Ali’s standard against him, and it’s a shame there developed a weird subculture within the fanbase that would hyper analyse *every* goal he’d concede. And I’m glad I don’t have to listen that shite anymore.

And for what his role was, his contribution has been genuinely remarkable. From penalty saves against Real Madrid in the Champions League to literally winning us two League Cups at Wembley, I’ve been in awe that some young fella who lived around the corner from mine could do all this. Just so proud.

Look I’m very aware I’m biased here. Not alone is he from my city, but I worked with his brother, my mother knows his mother well, his Dad was my hurling coach. It’s as close as I’m likely to ever get to “knowing someone” from my city playing for Liverpool. And that was genuinely a privilege to see.

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

I’m genuinely both gutted and delighted at Caoimhin getting his move to Brentford. Gutted to no longer have a fellow Cork man in the Liverpool team, delighted he’s going to a good club and good manager to get regular football. I really hope he smashes it and thrives as a number 1 in the league.

Inter Milan lived out our “what could’ve happened in Istanbul after half-time” fears last night *shudders*

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Be nice having your own one of these, wouldn’t it lad?

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Big fan of us getting in Frimpong a few hours after confirming Trent is gone. Moved on to someone with pace and an actual appetite to be here. Lovely stuff.

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Now that he’s gone, can we pack it in with the well-wishing of Trent please? He got far more appreciation than he deserved on Sunday imo. Not for me, but fine. Now though, if and when we get Madrid in the CL, he should be booed into oblivion.

The level of greatness in this photo is legitimately overwhelming. So blessed to watch these two in red together.

Ryan @ryanlevis.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Think I’ve about one more “can you hear crying in Turin by any chance?” question allowed before my partner, rightly, drops the people’s elbow on my ass. 6am asking it may have been pushing it this morning…
