@RealtorOnRange Bogeyed every par 3 too, when she’s dialled, you’re cooked.

Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.

@AlistairBelford @RuMacdonald A club in Dublin just spent over €2M on a new irrigation system. Working throughout the night so the course never closes too.

Ireland always a premium anyway for these works, but 2022 prices vs 2026 is not comparable.

[Chris @ChrisDerb]

@RuMacdonald Yeah I’ve seen a few! Insane numbers.

Is there at least a local/residents discount?

[Chris @ChrisDerb]

@RuMacdonald It is both great to see - these clubs have the finances to do this, which tells you tourism is going well.

And also sad to see, that as time goes on, perhaps with increased cost the basic person will be pushed from the game.

Irish green fees are insane.

@HLTCO Incredibly, his football skills are better than his leadership skills.

@SheldonMiller Max Dowman will be 32 then, maybe playing his last World Cup for England - whilst some other 16-18 year old superstar (who has maybe just been born!) is in the squad 😂

@SallyJones143 @KieranMaguire I was wondering similar for Roy Keane, which was a British transfer record in 1993.

Sometimes the best images come with the biggest challenges.
Photographing @Arsenal parade along Blackstock Road meant navigating packed streets, blocked access points & thousands of fans. The only option was to find an elevated position, Moments like this sets the story apart.

@delmo_del @charles_watts I took an almost identical photo, but mine was 2 hours AFTER the parade ended!

Crowd was insane.

@TimmyB1957 @WillGenchy @WayneSBarton A lot of respect for a team that got smoked?

[Phil Costa @_PhilCosta]

Absolutely devastated. Those boys gave everything and deserved more tonight - we’ll be back for this one.

Fair play to PSG who did well to change the game at half time, by adding a few more zeros into the referee’s bank account. He drank all the petro-dollar Kool-Aid.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Standing on the brink of history.
