An approach to finding out exactly where Ireland are, where we should be and what we should expect from this squad..
"Nostalgia for the medalled players of old, who may not get anywhere near today’s top 4 or European elite is misguided and ignorant." https://t.co/WN7YezHNgO

@TN_officialmiz @McDonnellDan @KieranMaguire It's called journalism. And this tweet is about England. Not ireland. We know who we are and we know what we are. Do you?

@RichieMcCormack In the meantime, feel a bit older with this https://t.co/InwuPMyNcp

@RichieMcCormack Thanks for dragging us pre MySpace punks into the Twitter age. Given the massive response to your tweet I think we'll have to just carry on as we are and leave the guitars down. A nice thought though.. cheers.. Clemo

@alan_maguire Maybe to remind people that our towns and cities are open for business?

@CarolSmurf @Woolberto You're supposed to isolate if you think you might have it. Does it apply to blanket screenings l8ke this?

Meat plants and COVID-19? Back in June the European Federation of Food and Agriculture Trade Unions wrote this report. This extract about Ireland is revealing. Full report here https://t.co/wxcYcs1nYv

@Woolberto You're out if your depth on this Colm unfortunately.. if you can't tell the diffeence between April and August you haven't a clue. Being an epicentre of a national outbreak is very different to bring the location of the ONLY outbreaks..fan sa bhaile

[A Yard of Grass @ayardofgrass]

@Michael_O_Regan A bit silly. The enemy in this instance is horrible low paid work and atrocious housing. Fight that. Not house parties.

[A Yard of Grass @ayardofgrass]

@RoyCurtis68 No you're absolutely right about direct provision. An atrocious system

[A Yard of Grass @ayardofgrass]

@AlanDun37865931 @RoyCurtis68 But this is the first significant outbreak in meat plants in months.

@donnamalone21 @rassas7 @ShaneBeattyNews Timahoe was identified in the briefing. These 80 cases are from timahoe. They're in today's figures and probably previous days seeing as results started coming back last week for that factory..

[A Yard of Grass @ayardofgrass]

@donnamalone21 @rassas7 @ShaneBeattyNews I'm.not sure that's true.

[A Yard of Grass @ayardofgrass]

@FintanYTWalsh Indeed but so do the hundreds of locals in city suburbs. People don't travel very far for a pint in Crumlin or Finglas either...

@NorthernIreland Alan McLoughlin's equaliser in 1993. Sat him right down with his hands in his pockets instead of out whipping up hysteria! To be less y'know, divisive, watching with envy as an 80s kid from Dublin in 86. If ye could do it, why not us...big achievements in those years...

[A Yard of Grass @ayardofgrass]

@FintanYTWalsh I mean no disrespect but does anyone out there care about small urban pubs? They matter too

Adidas YBIG Ireland Green fans team Jersey https://t.co/V8FHwgTD6t ... this arrived today. Possibly the best Irish soccer jersey of the lot. Fair play @YouBoysInGreen

@NBCNews The entire planet has known this since February or March. All of humanity was given this instruction months ago. American exceptionalism at it's finest...
