There's a meeting of the full Limerick City (and, feckit, the county too) Council at 3pm today.
Will be watching. Might be fun in parts, like the dodgy end of a curate's egg. Feel free to follow along.🧵

@DonaldClarke63 100%. It was probably the last refuge. I get the need but still …

I’m not kidding when I say I wish we could escape the online for the few hours we are on a plane. Obviously I understand you don’t have to take it up. But you’re increasingly in a place where the world *knows* you are connected. So what are you going to do?

NEWS: Aer Lingus will operate its first flight with Starlink Wi-Fi today from Dublin to New York JFK, becoming the first Irish airline to offer Starlink onboard. “Starlink is a constellation of more than 10,000 satellites that orbit Earth. This means Aer Lingus customers flying on @Starlink-equipped aircraft will be able to seamlessly work, browse, shop and connect from the air on multiple devices on the fastest Wi-Fi in the sky, with download speeds of up to 500+ Mbps." Aer Lingus will equip all aircraft with Starlink in a phased rollout, beginning with aircraft flying to North America, followed by those serving European destinations. Starlink Wi-Fi is expected to be available across the airline’s entire long-haul fleet by Q1 2027.

@PlayerGaelic Sure. Ultimately for something like this to work it needs to be governed. HQ/ County Boards/ Clubs / Referees etc
English
@markdconnolly I get the ‘managing numbers’ move that coaches might adopt. Might a club counter that by making it clear to all parents that their sons/daughters cannot be left off a squad because of a limit on numbers?
English
Read it a few times for clarity. Comment, question, edit, accept, reject etc.
Avoid mention of the player who doesn’t train as much as others and still gets to play 50% of a game. For every one of those, there are many on the bench who do train and get little or no game time.

Why is the argentina guy wearing trainers?

I’ve one spare for The Big Star Quintet @KilkennyRoots (sold out). #TicketFairy. Face value. Posting now in case anyone’s thinking of travelling but needs a ticket. @BigStarBand #p325275" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">toutless.com/viewtopic.php?…

@rugby_ap Candid and honourable, he should remember that his own head coach showed no such loyalty to Munster…All is fair when it comes to your dream job ….
English
Candid. Clearly his goal is to coach NZ. Quite reasonably. I’m sure Felix, Paddy and Jerry have the same ambition with Ireland.
Helpful that he can be open about that but also clear on his commitments. No BS. Straight up and down.
Sardieq@SardieqWP
Great insight to hear it straight from Tony Brown.

@Shaneytweet Doubt there will be a better finish to a game this year Shane. Some composure …
English
Unreal stuff across the board for all the club finals.
You can’t but watch on & wish it could be your club someday.
But you also can’t but watch & not be so so impressed to listen to how well all these people speak afterwards in victory & defeat. Fantastic role models 👍🏻
English
@CastresRugby After so many battles down through the years you deserved that win last night. Your supporters made a lot of noise too, they certainly enjoyed it. Chapeau!

The “babeee” but in this is actually Kirsty MacColl ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️they left her voice in

@meanderingtripe Sorry to hear you are in hospital Seamus. If you need anything dropped out to you at any stage just pm me
English
Yes, you can see the guide rail there (yellow) but you need a point to point route navigation with few branches, all indicated from every point with giant location indicators at each point.
Do that and it’s a near-perfect system for neophytes.
English
I’m in d’hospital at the mo (since Monday, a victim of scheduling as far as I can see) but that’s not important: I’m just setting the scene.
Anyhoo, I have just seen my first episode of Killinascully, which, as The Writer informed me many years ago “is not aimed at me”.
English
@JJOBrien7 @DamienYoung01 @CoratellaPh Interesting work, well done. Imagine how much better a starter in a given position has to be compared to an alternative on the bench to justify staying on past the nth minute. We see in rugby South Africa emptying their bench at 45/50 mins.

Happy to share that the first paper of my research, “Match Load Analysis of Substitutes in Elite Hurling Match-Play”, is now published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
Huge thanks to my co-authors for all their support.

serious questions for @Munsterrugby about their wheelchair ticket allocation for Munster game in Pair Ui Chaoimh. view from the uncovered sideline seating in the North stand on a cold wet night, while raised wheelchair section in the covered South Stand empty in video

@PlayerGaelic Honestly I think you’d have to give the form to the parents, ask them to complete it with the club/ school coach and return it to the development squad. Then there’s no issue at all. Schools wouldn’t touch this otherwise. Not sure clubs would either. Parental consent a must.
English
@markdconnolly And what if you made it more specific?
1. Game strengths.
2. Game challenges.
English
Still on the subject of development squads:
For each player, the county management makes contact with…
A. Club
B. School
…with one request.
“Tell us about your player.”
How useful might that information be for managers and coaches of development squads?
English
@grok what’s the best time to travel from Michigan to Chicago tomorrow?
English
@OranMorGlasgow any chance of stage times for bob Mould / support if applicable? Thanks in advance
English
There are people in clubs who would like to manage rather than coach. Should we have a suite of courses which lead to management qualifications?
After all, managing and coaching are two very different roles. Some describe the former as the more challenging.
Thoughts?

@tomasworldcycle Over in Murcia for a week if you want to make your way that direction!

Portugal so far, the Algarve

@AlanQuinlan1 @Haganator @fihayes27 @rugbychannel15 Great start. 23/25 points secured. Won 2 games we could easily have lost (Edi/Con). Building nicely. Beating Leinster no harm either :)
English
Munster fans - for the pod tomorrow send us your thoughts on the win against Connacht last Saturday night and also your assessment on a great start to the season with 5 wins from 5. @Haganator @fihayes27 @rugbychannel15 #red78
