This is truly horrendous. Curaçao have just scored their first ever World Cup goal and have momentum and then they stop the game for commercials. Absolutely detest this. No place for this nonsense in football.

Spent an afternoon exploring some less familiar Ulysses shops in good company. So much of the city of June 1904 hides in plain sight.

Historic signage for Mullett’s on the Foley Street side. Mentioned in Ulysses (Stephen and Bloom stumble past it and The Signal House) it is a rare surviving element of Nighttown as it appears in the book. Mullett’s is still trading. Thanks to Jimmy Murphy bringing me to see.

The Glen of Aherlow in Inchicore - who sponsor Joseph Anang’s jersey - are firmly behind Ghana for the World Cup.

An incredible moment for the League of Ireland with Pico Lopes and Anang off to the tournament. Here’s hoping for some magic moments. 🇬🇭 #BlackStars #Ghana

Deeply saddened by the death of Trevor Dietz, truly one of the rock n roll good guys. What he's achieved with Fontaines D.C. is nothing short of phenomenal. A lovely, lovely man to boot. Condolences to all x

@IrishTimesOpEd In different times:

Kilburn, Cricklewood, West London = QPR
Archway, Camden, Holloway Road = Arsenal

Is this about right, @IrishLondonersP ?
