D1 soccer in America is really starting to be taken over by the Irish and one player making an impressive start is former Cork City goalkeeper AJ Mather-Nash! 🧤

The young shot-stopper is on scholarship with GCU Men’s Soccer in Arizona and, since becoming eligible to play, has started twice and kept two clean sheets from two games.

It’s an excellent start to life in D1 soccer for Mather-Nash after impressing throughout his time in the Cork City academy who left the club on a high, playing in goal as City lifted the Munster Senior Cup earlier this season.

@OwenCallan I've met Lynch a number of times and he's never seemed too taken with his Irish heritage. To my knowledge, he hasn't bought an Irish country pile like other diaspora tycoons (John Malone etc)

When Boris Johnson says the UK will have the fastest growing economy in the G7, it's worth remembering the UK had the second worst economic performance during the pandemic. Easier to grow quickly when you're so far behind.

The loss of his extradition case is a new blow for Mike Lynch, who was once feted as tech star but is now battling for his liberty.

Facebook's courtroom reprieve is a wake-up call for Big Tech's critics. Regulation is tricky enough in an established industry but when new services emerge like social media and app stores defining the market and showing dominance becomes harder still

@RealMattLucas It would be completely self defeating. A sale would bring in a pittance compared to the long-term costs, incl lost tax revenues and fewer productions etc. As I argue here:
