@ShonaMurray_ @tomdoorley Because their pockets are being lined by Russia and policies being promoted by Russian bots.

Incredible. At a perilous moment for the world and the continent. As our own fellow European citizens in Ukraine are suffering from a crushing invasion by Russia, this from Sinn Fein Finance spokesperson. Extraordinary position to take. Literally one for the history books.
Pearse Doherty@PearseDoherty

At a time when people are being crushed by the cost of living, and after a budget that left ordinary workers behind, this government wants Ireland and the EU to commit billions to Ukraine to weapons of war. That money would be far better invested in public services and improving people’s lives - not in escalating war or undermining Irish neutrality.

Derry City lead. James McClean playing centre mid but back to his old territory for a short corner, skipping away from Kovalevskis and crossing for Darragh Markey to score. McClean does his own celebration in front of the home fans in South Stand.

Well done lads for keeping this topic on the agenda after debates about soccer calendar seemed to have gone quiet following the ill-fated FAI Pathways Plan. As someone coaching underage soccer in Dublin, what we are offering kids at the moment is not good enough. Aside from the elite few, the majority of grassroots clubs are dependent on grass pitches, usually public parks. So in a bad winter like this - which is not an outlier - pitches can be off for weeks upon weeks between November and March. Kids are getting the odd game here and there, if they are lucky, when an astro is available or the weather relents. Fixtures are issued every week and you feel like a dope going out to parents with details of games you know won't take place. In winters like this, the soccer season in Dublin amounts to a few games in September & October and then a rush of games in March - May. Then for the best months of weather in Ireland - nothing. The DDSL had a 'silent sideline' initiative last weekend - the irony being that the sidelines were silent due to mass postponements. This is not meant as a go at the FAI or, in this case, the DDSL. More to ask why we can't do better? - More government spending on municipal or multisport all-weather pitches, naturally. - Indoor futsal or small sided astro tournaments for the worst of the winter months. - Make the most of the better months by running juvenile season up till end of June and starting end of August as per school calendar (as Dublin GAA do). - Worried about numbers during the summer holiday season? Organise small sided tournaments. Most of all, ask what's in the kids interests, rather than managers and clubs who want to win trophies or political battles between administrative vested interests. Kids just want to play games.

@lawrencedonegan Completely daft. Injury prevention should’ve be a pillar of his training regime. Not running around like GI Joe.

I doubt Tiger ever asks himself if it was all worth it, but was it? The second half of his life will be spent in pain and discomfort.

Everyone at the club is saddened to learn of the passing of Sammy Johnston. The Scotsman will always be remembered as a cult hero at Finn Park after scoring twice in a famous 2-1 win over Derry City in 1997. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time

@chambleebrandel @TrumpTurnberry @TheOpen It’s too remote with inadequate infrastructure and amenities to cater for circa. 275k spectators over the week of an Open like Portrush will have the week after next.

Played at @TrumpTurnberry today, where there hasn’t been an @TheOpen since 2009. It is arguably the best links course in the whole of the UK and inarguably one of the best courses in the world. Why does it seem that Turnberry is not on the Open rota anymore?

If Tullamore wasn’t almost four hours from South Kerry, Jim McGuinness would have a strong argument about Roscommon as today’s venue.

Sad to hear of the passing of Peter Mcevoy OBE, a true great of the amateur game. I was lucky that our paths crossed, as he was the man that convinced me I might be good enough to make a living at this wonderful game, I always owed him a debt of gratitude for that, RIP

Details here - relates to ITC (International Transfer Certificate) for players coming from another jurisdiction. Clubs believed they could play as lads listed on Connect but ITC's handled separately & rules say onus is on clubs to register lads properly independent.ie/sport/soccer/l…

Had floated on @LOICentralPod in Feb that there were a few registration issues in First Division Now confirmed - three point deductions for Kerry & Wexford. Same sanction for Finn Harps but they lost in Kerry. Wexford's 3-0 win at UCD goes down as 3-0 loss

@McDonnellDan If you exclude the cash being injected from one individual, Derry would have lost €2.5m last year. Rumours of lads getting 5k per week deals.

Worth reading the statement here - a team that's sitting 4th in Scottish top flight saying that a first team player effectively indicated he wouldn't be willing to play for them if they blocked a move to Derry City. Should shine a light on wages that are now on offer in LOI
