@john_mcguirk The serial underachiever and classic non-deliverer of Irish politics. More front but less quality than Guineys.

The only story in these by elections is that the party that regularly polled 40% at every election when Micheál Martin entered politics is now polling in the single digits. That's some legacy.

@nimishdubey Herbert Chapman

When those pundits talk of the “Greatest Premiership Manager Ever”, they exclude: Bill Shankly Sir Matt Busby Brian Clough Bob Paisley Don Revie And so many others.

@BelleMusic5511 Harold Arlen

@paddymacc1 A man who needs a script to tell him which way is up.

Any politician who relinquishes their country's right to sovereignty is a traitor and dishonours the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives in pursuit of sovereignty. Quote May 11th 2017 "We want nothing to do with a backwards-looking idea of sovereignty"

@Russia_X1 Most definitely. Would have been back several times but for the SMO!

If you received a free invitation to visit Russia, would you agree ?? ○ Yes ○ No

@Vintage77Ball Pele, Maradona, Zico

Choose your attack trio from the 2 best countries in the world

@TheMandyGall An absolute shower! If brains were dynamite they couldn’t blow their ears off.

The most disgusting, racist anti-white chatter from the political class in Ireland 🇮🇪 IRELAND!! And What's worse they are teaching Irish children they have white privilege omg!!!

@nickfshort Indeed! My club allowed gentlemen to dispense with their jackets in the main dining room for luncheon yesterday but ties were a step too far! My dining companion shed his jacket which leads me to question his lack of moral fibre.

End of days.

@WG_RumblePants The parched outfield of my Prep School’s main cricket square, 3rd July 1976.

The parched outfield during a match at Hove in September 1976.

@BabajiSutar3 93 and 107 on debut vs India on the 1974/75 Tour.

Some facts on One of the West Indies Great ! He played 108 Tests (7,558 runs, 19 centuries) and 128 ODIs for the West Indies, formed a record-breaking partnership with Desmond Haynes, and contributed to two World Cup wins (1975 and 1979). He faced significant racism and cultural adjustment issues in school in Reading which he described as setting feet in hell ,left without qualifications, and initially showed no standout cricket talent or ambition there ,he was just an ordinary school player. In 1974 first-class match, he scored 273 not out with a severe hangover, hitting 13 sixes and 31 fours. He later said he barely remembered the innings because he middled every ball but hardly saw one delivery clearly. He is the only player in Test history to be recorded as retired not out (not due to injury). In the 1983 Test vs India in Antigua, he left the crease on 154* to fly home to his gravely ill young daughter Ria in Barbados.

@paddymacc1 And the most undoubtedly the most useless! Although Harris may yet surpass him….

Probably, the most hated Irish politician, EVER

@SagarH62 Peter Willey - always saved his best for West Indies having made his debut against them in July 1976. IIRC the first man to square cut Colin Croft for 6.

Cricket fans, this one’s for the OGs 👀 No Google. No hints. Just cricket knowledge 🧠 Who is he?

@nickfshort You’ve got the job!!

Capability Short has been on the case.Lovely day here. #smug.

@BabajiSutar3 He took a long run up!

192 Test Wickets 546 First class wickets 818 Test Runs 2674 First Class Runs

Quite the roll call in St.James’s Place!

@TheBarmyArmy Garfield Sobers

Who’s the most naturally gifted cricketer you’ve ever watched?

@CraigNelsy @JosePuliampatta He didn’t bother bowling in the 2nd dig, let others get wickets. Typical of the man.

@Cullivanpeter @JosePuliampatta Miller with a hangover - what a player he was

One of the joys of leafing through Wisden. A heavily hungover Keith Miller (after celebrating the birth of his son Bob the previous night) decides to sweat the rum out with a bowl!

@MarseilleH41515 The very model of a Prussian major general!

Erich Georg Sebastian Anton von Falkenhayn (* 11. September 1861 in Burg Belchau; † 8. April 1922 in Schloss Lindstedtbei Potsdam) war ein preußischer General der Infanterie, osmanischer Marschall und im Weltkrieg preußischer Kriegsministersowie Chef des Großen Generalstabs.

@PantVerse Victoria is the only First Class team to score over 1,000 runs in a completed innings - and they did it twice!

Shock me with a cricket stat.

@RockNRoLL_85 It is in my house!

Is “Animals” by Pink Floyd a 10/10 album?
