Who's been your Player of the Season so far?

@ScotlandSky Robbie is an arsehole. Stayed for the Gaza Genocide. Shame on him.

Dozens of Celtic supporters clubs have put their names to a statement opposing the potential appointment of Robbie Keane as manager over his previous role with Maccabi Tel Aviv. More: skysports.com/football/news/…

@Cathal_Dennehy @gregallenRTE Brilliant athlete. Back to 1500.

"Definitely a baptism of fire." "I'm really proud of myself for putting myself in it today and definitely [have] respect for the girls who do it, because it's tough." Sarah Healy after her first serious 5000m and her first race of 2026 - 14:48.88 in Rome. 🎥 Diamond League AG

@dtid1903 Play it in Oriel Park. Swap with next Galway / Dundalk game.

*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP* Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are. • You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

How many dots can you see?

Despite what you see, the balls are all in a straight line. Your mind creates the circle

@LeagueofIreland Wonderful young player.

Saying farewell to Oriel 👏

@jamesrogersie Class

Dundalk striker Gbemi Arubi has been included in the Republic of Ireland U21 squad for upcoming friendlies against Croatia and Qatar in Zagreb this week. He is joined on the panel by former Lilywhite Sean Keogh, now of Brighton

@LeagueofIreland Best player in LOI so far this year

What a season so far 😍

@dtid1903 We have best manager in the league. Need to hold on to him first.

Dundalk manager Ciarán Kilduff insists he will be looking to add to his squad when the transfer window opens next month but concedes he also faces a battle to hold onto some of his star names. independent.ie/county/louth/s…

@dlLambo Brilliant. This match can not go ahead.

Richie Sadlier👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 "It's baffling to me, how...it is controversial or contentious or objectionable that someone suggests...do you know what maybe let's not play football against them. Maybe instead of playing a match against them, maybe let's not play a match."

@Kieran_B_Sport @carabini_10 Grounds are open during the week for various reasons. Flares can be smuggled in then and hid.

@carabini_10 Hence why I'm asking if anyone had come across it before, as I hadn't. Didn't seem to work in the home end, anyway 😅

Dundalk fans were searched with hand held scanners last night. Has anyone seen that at other games this season?
