@garrethmcdaid Russia is banned because they attacked another country so why not Isreal ? #Iran #Syria

It's worth noting that Kerr took Ireland to play Israel in Tel Aviv in 2005, and played them in Dublin in the return fixture. Israel was occupying Gaza at the time, and creating settlements in the West Bank.

@Irish1867 Wise words . Wherever a people face injustice, oppression and occupation there will be resistance. Colonialism is such an evil #ireland #palestine

"Oppression equals slavery and resistance stems from both, and those who fight to end it are soldiers of the truth" Phrase from a poignant poem 'What compels young men to die' written by Óglach Martin Hurson at Easter 1981 in the H-Blocks. #Irishrepublican #irishhistory

@SiClancy I felt the same. It does get better but Jesse is annoying all the way through and there are new ‘bad’ characters introduced in the last series that don’t enhance storyline imo. Better Call Saul is better. It focuses on the most interesting characters from BB: Saul, Mike and Gus

Genuine question for Breaking Bad fans: does it get better? Because the first two seasons have been a real struggle. Every episode is the same story on repeat, and the characters are extremely unlikeable. Oh, another Walt & Jesse argument as they’re down on their luck.

@DavQuinn Hobson’s choice there David

Over time has the US or Europe been better for Ireland overall? Answer: the US by a landslide. If we ever have to choose between Boston and Berlin, it has to be Boston.

@BrighterGetting Yes and I think the point is that those who want the game cancelled believe that Isreal should be banned by UEFA and FIFA

RuZZia are banned by UEFA and FIFA, Israel isn’t.

@garrethmcdaid Well there you have it. You’d support a Russian boycott but not Isreal. Says it all really. Isreal had been attacking Gaza for years b4 Oct 7th. Isreal has attacked and is occupying Syria without provocation

@garrethmcdaid Would you feel the same if Ireland were playing Russia?

Hard to believe that with all the joy and drama of the World Cup that Irish football seems hell bent on conceding 2 games and making it even harder to qualify for the next one, just to make some pointless gesture that will be forgotten about before it even happens.

@donalgreene I presume to build a stadium like any of those would cost multiple in 🇮🇪 than what it cost in 🇸🇰?!

The stadiums for the 2026-27 Slovak Premier League. Why can’t we have nice things like this in Ireland? Same population, significantly higher GDP…

@jamesrogersie Clear handball from behind the goals here in Tolka

39 - It's a really poor equaliser for Dundalk to cough up but one that perhaps shouldn't have stood as Mbeng's ball into Norris isn't dealt with by McDaid, Cornwall or JR Wilson. In the end it pops up off the former Liverpool man's hand and into the path of Kelly, who taps home.

@ZzVvbbbbn 1. He doesn’t hate Jews 2. Bohs won a significant trophy in 2010 3: Dundalk FC are the 2nd most successful club in Irish history 4. Isreal is a genocial apartheid state

Womp womp to Jew hating hamad lover Daniel Lambert. Yout pathetic football club hasn't won a trophy since 2009.

@JamesMartinSJ @ori_goldberg The use of the horrible ‘R’ word to describe a person has actually become acceptable on this platform over the last couple of years. Every human has dignity.

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

@fridayfella1 @georgegalloway @bundeskanzler He’s not the leader of the most powerful country in Europe for fuks sake

@georgegalloway @bundeskanzler George, you're shilling for Russia's genocidal war against Ukraine, shut up you fucking hypocrite.

Settler violence in the West Bank is at unprecedented levels. Together with the United Kingdom, France and Italy, we call on the Government of Israel to end its expansion of settlements. For a comprehensive and just peace based on a two-state solution.

@offtheball @jamesrogersie You’ll be very welcome back Vinnie 👍. Make sure to pop into The Lilywhite ⚫️⚪️

🗣️ "I've not been back to Oriel Park since 2021" 🗣️ "I know it all to the inch of my life, but I haven't gone back" Vinny Perth will make his return to Oriel Park this weekend for the first time in 𝟓 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬! He is on commentary with Ben Symes as Dundalk take on Shamrock Rovers Friday night. Listen to this week's #LOI episode, free, wherever you get your podcasts.

@kajakallas Hamas are abiding by the ceasefire . Israeli politicians are arming, funding and supporting the settlers yet you don’t sanction them??

EU Foreign Ministers just gave the go-ahead to sanction Israeli settlers over violence against Palestinians. They also agreed new sanctions on leading Hamas figures. It was high time we move from deadlock to delivery. Extremisms and violence carry consequences.

@JJ1ILLUSION I paid at the end of November so am over the 120 days 😫

For those ripped off by #Rathwood Garden Centre who are refusing to refund customers, you can request a chargeback via your banking institution as long as you paid by Visa Debit and your transaction is less than 120 days old.

@jnbarrot Hamas are abiding the ceasefire yet you sanction them. Israeli politicians arm, fund and support the settlers but you don’t sanction them ?? European values are no more

C'est fait ! L'Union européenne sanctionne aujourd'hui les principales organisations israéliennes coupables de soutenir la colonisation extrémiste et violente de la Cisjordanie, ainsi que leur dirigeants. Ces actes gravissimes et intolérables doivent cesser sans délais. Elle sanctionne les principaux dirigeants du Hamas, responsable du pire massacre antisémite de notre histoire depuis la Shoah au cours duquel 51 Français ont perdu la vie, mouvement terroriste qui doit être impérativement désarmé et exclu de toute participation à l'avenir de la Palestine. L'espérance que la France a fait renaître l'année dernière à New York, celle de deux Etats reconnus et respectés dans leurs droits vivant côte à côte en paix et en sécurité, nous ne laisserons personne la fragiliser.

@bmkelly47 @DFCFancast I thought Minogue did well ! He came and caught 2 highballs in a crowded box, was brave.

@DFCFancast We generally do OK against rovers. A win at home is not impossible but we must not lose. Defense including Minogue is a real worry. And more players in the stand than on the bench isn't helping.

Despite taking a lead #DundalkFC suffer a home defeat with the dismissal of Rob Cornwall & the concession of a penalty proving pivotal. Can Kilduff turn around the Lilywhites recent run of poor results against Shamrock Rovers?

@LOIREFWATCH Mayo puts his at in Boyd’s face but Boyd had wrapped his at and rolled over. That’s what the ref indicated when he talked to the linesman and he was correct if you look at the video. Yellow a piece imo

Well well well…

@IFBMedia Mayo’s elbow does go into Boyd’s face but that’s after Boyd has hooked the arm and rolled over. Yellow card each imo

Should this have been a red? 👀

@rtenews #Rathwood owe me €220 for non delivery of logs. Refusing refund. I paid using Debit card not Credit Card. Any suggestions for next course of action?
