"Don’t be afraid to be ambitious. It’s not a humiliation to aim high & fail” St Pats/Arsenal/Leinster/Sports (& cocktails). Doctor with imposter syndrome

@Lungz1ads1 @RuaidhriOC Now you got it.

If URC was Leinsters primary competition then they’d have won it a ton of times, they regularly squad rotate for big games and knock outs because they rest players for champions cup games.

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@Lungz1ads1 @RuaidhriOC And I’ll say that if you think winning URC is how Leinster coaches are measured- then it again highlight your misunderstanding/knowledge deficit with regards to Leinster rugby.

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@Lungz1ads1 @RuaidhriOC If you think he is “just defence” coach at Leinster then it shows a misunderstanding/knowledge deficit about the set up

It’s not completely on Neinabar, but the last 3 years the team has got gradually worse despite signings and a move from traditional Leinster principals

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Standing on the brink of history.

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@XEnergyIreland So seeing as renewables ar wonky increasing, the answer proper battery/storage?

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

Think it’s fair the say the Nienbar decision has not worked out for Leinster. He promised defensive innovation, a winning hard edge to get it over the line but the team is weaker. 7 tries concede vs Northampton and 5 in 40 mins today. Time for him and Cullen to go. #LEIvUBB

@Aidan_Regan @fiannafailparty @FineGael It’s a no brainer that we use windfalls like the apple money to create our own power generation/battery capacity. The future is electric and our short sighted “next election” politicians need to wake up

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@adrianweckler I think funding is more important than the grant. Most homes the savings in solar would cover repayments of an interest free loan over 3-5 years. A central loan scheme from gov at low %, perhaps even repaid via electricity bill savings and secured seems a no brainer.

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@seidodge So every club can agree to illegal agent deals if that signing is “in the best interest of the club” is what the message?

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@threeredkings Hedging his bets for a Leinster contract you would think.

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@Lzerislive @reptracker In fairness many of those aren’t from Dublin but play for Dublin clubs. Definitely something regional clubs need to look at.

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@kgdublin Was there last week and similar. Usually one of my favourites but was quite average. Sides options are quite poor and technical preparation of dishes ordered was below par. Shame for a place I hold in high regard but hadn’t visited in a while.

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

When are European governments going to stand up and use all levers available to stop this. Israel should be isolated from western governments and treated like apartheid SA. As I child I always believed we wouldn’t let this happen- why aren’t the “good guys” standing up?

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

- 👏👏👏👏👏👏 @AlexCrawfordSky

This is how you report Israeli attempts to demonise the journalists they murder. The contrast with @BBCNews extraordinary. @SkyNews rightly leading with the story.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Is it not news-worthy…

That an 18-month-old Palestinian toddler was allegedly held in detention for 10 hours

Tortured by Israeli soldiers using burning cigarettes and nails

All to force a confession from his father?

Look at him

Because our press will rather you didn’t.

[Ciaron Noble @CiaronNoble98]

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

I don’t get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block (unlikely in central Beirut but not impossible) why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out — including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren’t any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it?

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@kdjacl Any finish where the ball is so emphatically thwacked like that goes up in my book.

[Caolan @Caolan1983]

@emmetmalone I guess it’s less rules and more generally given as a “custom and practice”

Tbh I agree it shouldn’t be. Too many pen/frees for players “feeling the contact” and going down.
