Roy Keane will always be one of my footballing heroes, both for club and country.

But boy is it disheartening to see him behave like this with Bruno Fernandes, I think it may be a watershed moment for the current players at the club in ignoring the noise from some of these legends.

Bruno may not have the same no nonsense attitude that Keane had as captain of the club but his ideals are similar in wanting the very best for the club in getting it back to the very top.

I find it hard to criticise Roy Keane, I always have but I think he has crossed a line here.

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.

That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.

That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.

People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.

These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

Just so we're clear, Israel is now the first state to have an ethnicity-based death penalty since Nazi Germany.

"You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide."

In a searing interview with the BBC, paediatrician Dr Tanya Haj Hassan condemned the broadcaster for echoing Israeli government talking points as she recounted her harrowing experiences in Gaza.

Dr Haj Hassan, who recently returned from volunteering with Medical Aid for Palestinians, shared the devastating story of her colleague, Dr Alaa, a paediatric emergency doctor at Nasser Hospital.

While Dr Alaa was on call at the hospital, her home was bombed and nine of her children were killed, their bodies charred and dismembered beyond recognition. Her husband remains in critical condition.

Dr Haj Hassan described a healthcare system in collapse: intensive care units overflowing with maimed, orphaned children – many the sole survivors of their families.

She also questioned why the BBC has delayed the release of 'Medics Under Fire', a documentary it commissioned about systematic attacks on Gaza’s healthcare workers, calling for its immediate release.

If that's in Croker Dublin win.

All teams wanted was a fighting chance outside Croke Park, when Dublin played all their games there

The atmosphere here was incredible

Magic stuff

@BrendyBoyle Great game 🙌

This tweet, from a racist, encapsulates the distorted sense of Irish nationalism that fueled awful events yesterday.

Cited deaths of Ashling, Michael and Aidan as examples of foreign savagery and failed diversity.

Let's look at names he didn't mention and why they matter. /1

The fluidity in how we played for the first 30 minutes of this game looked so promising, but the minute things get rough for this lot, they fold, facing any kind of adversity just isn't their cup of tea.

Stats here from the Cork final are depressing

Nemo won all their kickouts short, only two Castlehaven ones were lost.

28 turnovers in the match none were in the opposition half.

Puke football happening EVERYWHERE

PUT A LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF PLAYERS TEAMS CAN DEFEND WITH

[Jack O'Callaghan @jacksieoc]

Even as an accountant I enjoyed this prudence bashing pod! Pity the powers that be will never make the brave call on spending these “one off” surpluses on something that will last (infrastructure, housing etc)!

Podcast time! The Paradox of Prudence. Hope you enjoy it!

The 150 year old Sextant pub in Cork was knocked over a weekend in Aug 2020 on pretence of building homes
Once gone 'developer' informed city it was too expensive to build homes
Instead they'd build offices
3 years later we've a private car park instead
