@OCowzer wowwww legal letters!! the FAI can't come back from this

Stop The Game has sent legal letters to the FAI, Sport Ireland, the Minister for Sport, and the Minister for Justice threatening to seek a Judicial Review..press release issued overnight

@finallyhereonce @spicebag619 Fair play, got me good here

@thindubliner @spicebag619

FAI are scumbags and cowards. The whole country is in favour of having the match cancelled and no one wants to watch that crap, yet they go and move it to turners cross?

@Sarahjdublin @leeser4 most recent survey says only 50% think it shouldn't be played

@leeser4 74% didn’t want the match to be played in the last survey

The very fact that there is such pressure from the public that this is being played at a neutral venue means they shouldn’t play The public don’t want them to play

@MiguelDelaney ah come on Migsy, his hip was gone, he wouldn't have been able to play even if he had have stayed with the team

I had become ambivalent about Saipan over the years - and then I watched the highlights of Ireland 1-1 Portugal from June 2001 that are doing the rounds (a game I was at) and you realise: “give him whatever he wants” - they would never have qualified without him. It’s shocking

@dlLambo the pictures are the wrong way around, he helped the man put the fruit back into his basket after they fell out

Israel in 3 pictures

@dlLambo you've enabled genocides in Nagorno Karabakh and Xinjiang by that logic

And this is the exact attitude that enables genocide to happen. Turn a a blind eye, not my issue

@ciarannugent @thelaymanstake people shouldn't post about events in other parts of the world, unless it's Palestine

@thelaymanstake 'Soccer ball' and 'we Irish' Sure

The response to the death of Yves Sakila definitively proves that identity matters. For decades Irish people have been told that "Anyone can be Irish" and "Immigrants are just as Irish as you or me" and even suggesting otherwise is an act of unfathomable bigotry. Just this week a TV host said that an African man, born in Africa, to two African parents is just as Irish as any of us because he can kick a soccer ball. We've seen criminal after criminal from the all four corners of the globe commit the most heinous crimes only for our papers to describe them as "Dublin man" or "Sligo man" because they've been living in a tax payer funded apartment for 6 months. But today it's all about "Black Irish, Congolese Irish, African Irish, foreign Irish". All of a sudden, identity really matters to these people. As soon as there's a chance to side with their own tribe and attack the natives of the country they take it without a moment's pause because that's where their loyalties lie. If a member of their group commits a heinous crime "We're all just Irish and noticing their race/ethnicity is bigoted". But if a member of their tribe is done wrong, then all of a sudden identity is their most important and defining factor. Watch the news, turn on your radio, scroll your social media feed and you will see dozens of different idenity groups (many of which are taxpayer funded) coming out of the woodwork advocating for nationwide changes trying everything in their power to turn this into some Irish BLM George Floyd. They are doing this because are fighting for their own people, they prioritise their own and they don't care about you. They are telling you directly that it doesn't matter that this country and it's people took them in, welcomed them and gave them a great life. They still won't give you the benefit of the doubt or even wait for the facts. They will instantly side with a violent, thieving, scumbag because he looks like them and they will do it without a moment's hesitation. They are telling you that even though they live in your country, their idenity matters, they value their own people above you and they will beat you down if it helps raise them up. We Irish had better start taking our own side again because this last week has proved, no matter how kind, generous and welcoming we are nobody else is going to.

@MaiaDunphy it's possible to report on various things at once

Jaysus, the latest RTE stuff is SUCH a waste of energy given all the far more important news there is to report on. We all wanted more transparency from RTE... that's what's happening now, what more are they supposed do?? It's a really complicated organisation, as all semi-state

@mullallyelaine you've been saying this for years Elaine, any idea when it will actually happen?

We are heading into the mother of all recessions, like it or not! The Irish government have put Ireland in a very vulnerable position by not looking after small indigenous business and placing all of our eggs in the baskets of large corporations! Turning their back on their own, again!

@Berlinnaeus @dlLambo what do you think? mossad op potentially?

Spotted in front of me at the lights in Sligo this morning. "Support Hezbollah. Kill Jews." Couldn't believe my eyes. This can never be acceptable. Have reported to Sligo Garda Station with the full dashcam footage and registration clearly visible.

@ciarannugent 21% actually seems quite noteworthy in that context no? if you assume that the non Irish constituents automatically won't vote for Hutch or Steenson

Not really seeing immigration as a huge issue here.....in the most diverse constituency in the country 🤔

@dubslife1 there are two sides to every story

This bloke at it again

@ciarannugent would be interesting to see what the breakdown would be by Jewish and Muslim Israelis

Just under 4 in 10 Israelis would be ashamed if a family member was gay (4 times the Irish share) If they were an EU member, they'd be the most homophobic EU member (Gay marriage is not permitted in Israel)

@dlLambo this is so epic XD

At first read this is hilarious. Then you realise Cllr O Moran is a genius. It gets voted on tonight at Cork City Council. 🦟

@eoinyk is there a need for the aggressive second paragraph

Apparently, many American companies operating in Ireland have contracts where Irish employees have to work through long weekends in lieu of a day off afterwards. Hey Yank, you come here, you respect our holidays (not "vacations"), and take your bank holiday Mondays off. Our way

@GCraughwell it's all anyone in my demographically diverse workplace wanted to talk about today

#cargate just might bring down the whole rotten system

@EamonMelia i really think this will be the story that will bring down the government. everyone in the office today was talking about it

The stink of entitlement off these people is sickening. How bad would McAdam abuse his position if he was voted into Dail Eireann. ontheditch.com/ray-mcadam-use…

@wereontheditch i think this is it, this is the story that will bring the government down

Fine Gael's Dublin Central byelection candidate Ray McAdam travelled to an election event last week in the official car provided to him as lord mayor. It’s unclear whether McAdam or the required official driver drove the car. ontheditch.com/ray-mcadam-use…

@IFBMedia you're advocating for our taxes to go towards billionaires during a cost of living crisis, housing crisis etc.

@thindubliner Without those “billionaires” we’d truly be in the trenches.

Scotland’s top 4 tiers get roughly 11-13x the central funding of Ireland’s top 2 tiers (£42m vs €3.1m). Strip back the fancy pitches, stadia & camera angles and put a game on LOITV, the relative difference in quality would be minimal. We do exceptionally with archaic support.
