My terminally wife was late for a radiation treatment because of the blockade. How could you sympathise with any group capable of endangering life. There are no words words to describe such behaviour. Trust me , given my anger, it is better that I don’t try #fuelprotest

Despite there being no threat of any kind, the US submarine sailed away with no attempt to pick up survivors, leaving them to drown. Breaking the first and holiest unwritten law amongst mariners.

US Submarine Attacks An Iranian Frigate Uninvolved In The War 148 Iranian sailors are now missing in the surprise attack, in Intl Waters, thousands of kilometres from Iran. A rather embarrassing cowardly attack for the world’s most powerful military to claim as a victory.

@lukefitz11 Great spot, I was blown away by that. We were down to 14 men at that point too! Phenomenal cover, the overlap was worked and 99/100 that’s a try.

I’m miles behind in the game but look where Balacoune comes from here for the try saver! Top quality back 3 play to bail out the guys up front when they’re under pressure a man down. 👌🏻

@DjmComments @simonrug @IrishRugby @connachtrugby He was brilliant m. He’s developed so well over the last 12 months. The experience of last year’s difficult campaign has probably helped him immensely.

@simonrug @murphyrob @IrishRugby @connachtrugby Tom Wood was even better in my view. Munster might be producing yet another top class out-half.

Electric performance from Irish under 20s against England this evening. Best game I’ve seen this year. Andrew Browne can be immensely proud of his side. Another west of Ireland coach thriving. @IrishRugby @connachtrugby

@simonrug @IrishRugby @connachtrugby He was, third game on the bounce where he excelled, a superb debut against France also in round one but this was every bit as good.

@ICdrew It’s a soft call but technically right. You can surely understand the emotions of that and the argument for embellishment is hardly unfounded either. Bottom line what sport in the world has referees from one of the competing nations deciding these things. 🤦‍♂️

I know his name is Teemu but there's no need for his opinion to be as bad as something you would purchase off Temu.

Teemu Selanne@TeemuSel8nne

Beating greatest hockey country in the world and Canadian referees same night is impossible I guess… absolutely embarrassing penalty 90 seconds to go in Olympic semifinal.. what a joke🤬

@mikemcintyrewpg Fully agree. Real lack of class from Marchand after that penalty, on world feed, could clearly be heard shouting at Haula, “I’ll end your career” not sure why Canada are going down this route.

Mike McIntyre@mikemcintyrewpg·20 Şub

Also, the risk with Sam Bennett is that he might take a penalty like he did, which led to Finland's first goal. That's one he's gotta be smarter about.

1-0 Finland. They score immediately -- as in 2 seconds -- into their second power play of the first period. Mikko Rantanen rips home a shot after Sebastian Aho won the offensive zone draw.

@jpolly22 Merchand then said to a Haula player “I’ll end your career. “ Not cool.

@lonesharkoy Again I take you back to COVID where it worked and it was done. Bottom line is more games on tv means the sport is more accessible. The notion that it affects attendances is far from clear.

@murphyrob To the economic benefit of CBs? Absolutely not proven, I know three that believe they lose money on it. Also, some CBs (Mayo included) pull out all the stops in terms of production. Many don't, and people won't tolerate those standards for national games.

English

Kevin Egan@lonesharkoy·1 Şub

A lot of talk about the fact that so many games today weren't televised or streamed. But gaelic games is still a live experience, and it's better for everyone if crowds are there. There were games on TV for people who want to stay home, but we need to protect live crowds too.

@lonesharkoy We’re talking a paid service here, which happens at club level around the country on a far greater scale and to the economic benefit of the county boards who broadcast them so I disagree here.

English

Kevin Egan@lonesharkoy·4 Şub

@murphyrob I can think of a myriad of practical reasons why broadcasting all 31 National League games from the weekend gone by to any kind of reasonable standard would prove logistically challenging, and expensive.

English

Rob Murphy@murphyrob·3 Şub

@lonesharkoy Every inter county game hurling and football. The current situation which has a selection of games on free to air and everything else blocked is a major step back from what we had in 2021 and one that seems to be backed by flawed logic with no room for innovation.

English

Kevin Egan@lonesharkoy·3 Şub

@murphyrob Define "every game" - are we including Mayo hurling in this for example?

English

Rob Murphy@murphyrob·2 Şub

@lonesharkoy Also take some of the venues that don’t have enough seats for those who need them, Ballyshannon for example this weekend. It’s not realistic for many people to stand on a hill.

English

Rob Murphy@murphyrob·2 Şub

@lonesharkoy After that I believe GAA+ should cover every other game on a paid service as per COVID set up back in 2021, it is a major step backwards that they are not doing this. Run it as a five year trial and compare attendances. Again I emphasise that many people can’t travel.

English

Rob Murphy@murphyrob·2 Şub

@lonesharkoy That’s anecdotal and it isn’t undeniable true as you say. Detailed studies constantly come up with conflicting results. For example in many studies show more exposure leads to more interest and then increased attendances.

English

Kevin Egan@lonesharkoy·2 Şub

@murphyrob There is absolutely evidence to support the fact that if the game is on TV, the live crowd suffers. For example, the couple of Offaly finals that were on TG4 'coincided' with much lower than expected attendance. I'm not saying that's the last word, but it's undeniably true.
