@du_dot_ie @james__love @StripeyMiata Hell, triple track to Howth Junction and better Scheduling would help

@james__love @StripeyMiata Quad track to Malahide would sort most of that out - can’t see of happening for at least another 20 years though

Isn’t one of the main issues commuter trains congestion Belfast/Portadown and Drogheda/Dublin sections and there isn’t really much more you can do without building extra lines?
BBC Newsline@bbcnewsline
Journey times for some trains between Belfast and Dublin could be cut to under two hours as a result of a new £548m investment. Eight new inter-city trains are due to become available in late 2028 and the aim is to try to speed up the service.

@AcpwFox98 @CoreyBrennanFF Let's just say April in Ireland is four seasons within an hour. Could be baking sun one minute and pissing hail the next.
Being held a bit later in May would be more feasible. But then we're in the middle of the GAA season (Croke Park) and the business end of the URC (Aviva).

@CoreyBrennanFF What's the weather like in Ireland during WM time?
English
IF Ireland were to host a WrestleMania in the future, there would be two options.
Croke Park, with a capacity of over 82,000. The backup option would be the Aviva Stadium, with a capacity of over 51,000-60,000 depending on the setup.

@puffpuff65 Say they won't watch LOI due to "quality" but will happily drop many multiples of a LOI season ticket to watch Arteta's Talibanball
English
Half of Stansted Airport full of Arsenal fans this morning, I thought they were playing at home last night!? Most going to Ireland, shame they won’t watch their local clubs
English
@betweenstripes Surprised they're going back to Chernobyl after Drogheda caused some "major pitch improvements"

Virgin Media have announced their live TV picks for next month in the League of Ireland.
Que the "are they showing any Shamrock Rovers games" replies 😅

patiently wait for the “only show dublin club games”

@WndyAilson @Kieran_B_Sport In fairness I got the 22:55 Aircoach back to Dublin Airport and it was grand last night
English
@Kieran_B_Sport Maybe it’s something to do with the fact that you can’t get a bus back to Dublin from Derry on a Friday night at ten o clock?
English
This isn't a dig, but any reason why Rovers didn't bring more to Derry this evening?
Brian@BrianJustBrian
Safe home to 1,000 Rovers fans who made the trip 🔴⚪
English
@Kieran_B_Sport Hard enough to get a company to send a bus to Derry. Then hard enough to get numbers as people don't feel safe. Even if it then runs there's every chance the PSNI will turn you around after hours on the road for the absolutely heinous crime of enjoying a beer.
Thats why.
English
Think I've got my answer. It's a shame so many away fans feel their safety isn't guaranteed in Derry. It's the only ground I've ever had a genuine scare leaving myself so I can understand the replies. It's costing Derry a fortune in away ticket sales.

This isn't a dig, but any reason why Rovers didn't bring more to Derry this evening?
English
@Kieran_B_Sport The PSNI won't deal with the local scum element because it's politically inconvenient. Instead they overzealously target away fans. No buses went because of this.
English
@JayMBee1988 PSNI refuse to deal with the actual problem in the areas near the Brandywell because it's politically inconvenient. Heavy handed treatment of away fans is easier
English
This doesn't reflect well on things if fans of a major club aren't comfortable coming up
Phelim Warren@Freewheeler12
@JayMBee1988 Yeah we didn’t sell our allocation. Fans tired of the treatment when they travel
English
@ThomasArgu51116 @seidodge Probably won't even sell it out. Fuck all buses going due to PSNI antics last year. Be only those who drive up and those crazy enough to go via public transport
English
@seidodge Rovers only getting 400 so not a hope of that amount of home supporters turning up,do well to get 5k
English
He’s asked what type of crowd he expects at the game and said “I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 7-8,000”

CSKA Sofia average about 5,000 people per game (and have done for the last few years too)
Metodi_Shumanov@shumanskoo
CSKA Sofia are reportedly planning to unveil their new stadium at the end of September with a showpiece friendly against a European giant, with AC Milan mentioned as a potential rival
English
@shteivred In Europe, local police forces manage traffic in the area to prioritise the thousands of fans walking. I'm sure the local police and highway patrol will learn some valuable lessons in crowd control and traffic management over the next few months
English
Is…walking across 6 lane highways in your country legal?
Andrea de Cesarism@22jenson09
Amazing to be informed by local residents that the concept of walking to a stadium from a train station is so alien that it is in fact illegal
English
The gayest derby in world football. Not a dig thrown since before covid

While on board a Carnival cruise ship, a 45-year-old nurse from California downed 14 shots of tequila in under 9 hours at the bar.
She blacked out, fell down the stairs, and woke up in a staff-only area.
Rather than brush it off as “one too many” she sued Carnival for overserving her.
A Miami jury agreed - finding Carnival 60% at fault. She has now been awarded $300,000 in compensation.

@blackrock0778 @IFBMedia He's eligible for both Ireland and Nigeria under FIFA eligibility rules. He chose Ireland. He's deserving of a call up because he's a good, hardworking player who gives everything when in green
English
@IFBMedia What makes Ogbene more deserving than anyone else? Ogbene was born in Nigeria, his parents are Nigerian, he still has Nigerian citizenship and passport and he has lived in England almost as long as he‘s lived in Ireland, in fact he’s eligible for English citizenship now too.
English
Our most controversial poll is back!
Where people made some dangerous insinuations about me for posting.
Would you rather have an all Irish born team and never make a tournament again?
OR
Do a Morocco and call up every eligible player and possibly make a SF?
Tell us why 👇

@NoContextBrits A good vet will have those sausages oinking in ten minutes

@sg_miner21 @MillwallDan85 Four away days in the last six weeks. Three of them outside Dublin.
17 domestic aways last season in the league plus one in Europe
18 the year before plus 4 Euro away days.
So yes. I definitely don't go to away games
English
@FatLad198 @MillwallDan85 Can tell you don't go away games. Front is for families and casuals, all the proper fans are at the back
English
@jezwyke @MillwallDan85 Almost every club outside England has ultras. Even smaller Scottish and Irish clubs
English
@Josh11813522 @MillwallDan85 Only time I've ever experienced that was away to Chelsea in December 2024. They gave up after about five minutes when lads just kept ignoring them
English
@FatLad198 @MillwallDan85 They’re not though. For one thing half of them won’t let you out of the concourse if you try using the wrong exit.
