RIP Michael Lyster ❤️
Loved this 2018 RTÉ Tribute to him on his final day hosting The Sunday Game.
He fronted the panel so well for 35 years.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
This is a proper Six Nations morning
Thursday needs to never happen again
Out for a run, grab the paper and some rashers, on the high stool for 1.30
We are the greatest little country in the world
Congrats to Vitezslav Jaros on making his Premier League debut for Liverpool today. Our supporters’ Player of the Year from 2021 continues to build his excellent career!

The last few months for Irish football:
- Sacked Stephen Kenny last November
- FAI takes 7 months to find replacement
- 4 friendlies in that time for John O’Shea to audition for the job
- End up hiring their “first-choice” manager who happens to be a dentist
- Heimir decides he doesn’t know enough about the players so doesn’t pick squad/team or do all the press conferences
- 0 goals in 180 minutes
- 4 goals conceded
- No clear structure on pitch
- Facing Nations League relegation
- Can only buy tickets in three-match bundles
Meanwhile, the League of Ireland champions get just over €100k for winning it. They also rely on European revenue where games don’t even get shown on Irish TV. Only country in Europe that happens in.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the FAI have well and truly failed Irish football.
What a mess.
