@SleeperFooty @henrywinter I remember when Rio used to play, I used to think he was the hardest, coolest player on the field, like VVD now.. turns out he’s a looser…

@henrywinter What Simeone wanted Ben White to do last night:

Ben White clearly made an innocent mistake when walking across the Atletico Madrid crest. He's not showing a lack of respect. He’s caught up in the emotion of the occasion. Simeone father and especially son were unimpressed… #AFC 1/2

@maxrushden If you didn’t enjoy the game are you not a real football fan like some of the “purists” would have you believe?

any questions for tomorrow's Football Weekly?

@maxrushden Can you balance the sublime with the absurd “schrodingers cat” nature of the game? Was it the best attacking game you’ve ever seen or the worst defensive game you’ve ever seen?

@Tgarratt10 As a former amateur LB, it’s my duty to call it out.. Also Rooney visibly angry on Amazon about the defending or lack thereof

I get pundits giving a level headed view in terms of the lack of defending when analysing the game. If you’re a neutral/normal football fan watching that and even mention the word ‘defending’ get a fucking life. What a sensational game of fussball 👏🏻👏🏻

@Towno10 I am delighted to see Rooney so annoyed by it because I thought I was going mad… he’s spot on. Neither team can be happy with that defending

But yet the post match discussion is largely focused on the defending.

@gcooney93 But how was he left one on one? That’s the point and Rooney is arguing the point I’m trying to make far better than me on Amazon😂

@EccyHealy Upamecano was left one v one against that PSG attack. I thought he was unreal

If I was Uefa I would replace Arsenal/Atletico tomorrow with PSG/Bayern and let them play a four-legged semi-final. And then pair PSG and Bayern in the final

@gcooney93 It’s a fair view as both teams are not built to defend but it’s a view heavily focused on the attacking half of the game and requires the viewer to discount the lack of any defensive focus. Upamecano a MOTM contender when they conceded 4?

@EccyHealy I disagree - some eg of poor defending but not sure whay defenders are meant to do when both teams have such quality attackers and are committed to balls-out attacking at all times. And Upamecano for example is MOTM contender

How timely a conversation between @cooper_m and @marionmckeone on the now first assassination attempt..

@superTV247 There’s a court case in this in terms of reputational damage for Jimmy. Hard to know without seeing it. Also, if court Ant doesn’t find it intimidating, it wasn’t directed toward him🤷🏼‍♂️

That was the craziest 5 minutes of #ImACeleb in 25 years. I absolutely love the drama of live TV but David and Jimmy are EMBARRASSING themselves. To have Ant & Dec, the unbiased hosts, telling you you’re chatting shit? Pathetic. David is just a massive high school bully

@BrigidLaffan @VillageMagIRE @ShaneKil @UL @ProgressIreland “You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you…”

@VillageMagIRE @ShaneKil @UL @ProgressIreland You tweet is not worthy of a reply.

You'd wonder whether the Governing Authority and new President (@ShaneKil) etc of @UL are happy with its estimable Chancellor, @brigidlaffan, being on the board of @progressireland which has some shady associations and origins (explained below), and an insidious rightwing agenda.

@JamesB_afc Very evident to me Mosquera and Hincapie were playing beyond the 6 with Zubi and rice filling the gaps.

Arteta said they’d identified 3 changes they wanted to implement Only one I can see is Zubi as the 8, Rice as the 6 Anything I’ve missed? All very similar to me this

Hoping that the resignation of @MHealyRae might lead to some introspection on how badly this has been judged in political and media circles…

I’m a regular, weekly listener of @cooper_m Path to Power and @hlinehan Inside Politics. I count myself as being more left leaning so obviously don’t agree with every point of view but this weeks episodes; I cannot believe how badly they’ve misinterpreted the public sentiment..

@MarkLTighe I think this is what is called “playing the man and not the ball”

Fuel protest leader James Geoghegan has animal cruelty convictions and Revenue judgments irishtimes.com/crime-law/2026…

@nicksortor I’m not trying to be rude or confrontational, but what would class him as a hero

🚨 JUST IN: The Iranian regime has put a $60,000 BOUNTY on the missing US pilot's head, per Fox Luckily, the sun is going down in Iran, which will make Search and Rescue MUCH easier for US forces. Find this American hero! 🙏🏻

@StateDept Pot, meet the kettle

SECRETARY RUBIO: Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country.

@riomarojay The premier league wouldn’t be the biggest league in the world without Henry, that’s why he’s always number 1. He (not alone tbf) was the poster child of the golden era of the PL and was the best player during that time. He had the aura that scared opposition teams across Europe

Okay, how did Henry acquire this reputation that basically makes him untouchable? Cos Salah has outdone him in every conceivable way

@HarrisonHoare Needs to learn the art of the “give and go”

How greedy is Troy 🦜?? Would do my head in that on his team #CZEIRL

@congunners @IrelandFootball Absolutely zero intention to play the ball… disgraceful! Fingers crossed sammy is ok

Those Czech players have been scummy all night. So many intentionally nasty pushes, elbows and shoulders. They know exactly what they’re doing, and the ref has let so many of them go. Szmodics in a bad way here. #CZEIRL @IrelandFootball
