Have been a regular for ~35 years at Lansdowne but couldn’t stomach it this evening. None of us took our season ticket seats. Would have enjoyed seeing that goal live but struggling to articulate how we feel about this team. It was good to see the protest there despite RTÉ cutting away a lot.

Our protest at the Aviva Stadium right now. Ireland should never have crossed the Palestinian picket line, we must not play the 'home' game against apartheid Israel on Sunday. There is still time to #StopTheGame

Pathological liars just can’t stop lying. Trump: “I’m the only president that donated his salary. They pay me $550,000 a year.” The presidential salary is $400,000. JFK and Hoover donated their salaries and didn’t rob the country blind.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

He was informed by the Irish Embassy in Tel Aviv that further documents were not required from him, but he was later informed his visa was refused due to insufficient documents. This was despite submitting “exactly the same type of paperwork” as Gazan students previously provided, said Counsel.

Once again it needs to be stressed that this is something happening across the board in Irish immigration- changes in practice leading to refusals that would not have occurred in previous years. We are in a very dark time for the rights of people migrating to Ireland and their families.

Does this explain things a little? We have to #StopTheGame. The FAI says it will not. We shouldn't be sportswashing a genocidal regime. Other players should follow the good example of Gavin Bazunu and refuse to play another game against this genocidal apartheid state.

It is maybe a little reassuring to see the senior PSNI stance on the stand-off is publicly saying "this is on you lot, we're doing nahim". Particularly as the Funko Pop version of Paisley screams expectantly for his demands to be enacted with brutality to the applause of large sections of Loyalism.

grandpa is talking crazy about the TV again
Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!
