"I accepted it, about two years ago on a drive back to Ireland... got a bit of peace with all of it"

Keane on missing Barca '99

May have been missed in all the Martinez chat - and hope they don't mind me sharing - but this was a lovely moment in the latest Stick to Football 🏅

@pyjamas_black Listened to that episode recently to see what it was all about and couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Just 4 people shouting over each other on zoom

Retirement has deprived us of an Eamon Dunphy master class baby

Big read here on an abject, rancorous, extraordinary day. The potential scale of fallout to come is the stuff of Saipan 2.0

There's going to be a lot of 'keep politics out of football' comments this weekend. Meanwhile players in England will be wearing poppies next month and scrutinised if they don't, after a World Cup where the US President stood with the winners on the podium. The horse has bolted.

Finally, Mother’s against genocide choir is out and Sara O’Rourke from @IrishNeutrality who was in charge of organising today gives her remarks.

[Luke O'Connell @lukecon13]

Covering for @TheNewWorldmag today as thousands have come out in Dublin, to protest the arrival of US President, Donald Trump.

The President is here to meet Taoiseach Micheál Martin and President Catherine Connolly before attending the Irish Open in Doonbeg, Co. Clare.

[Luke O'Connell @lukecon13]

Charles from Cork who is just out of chemotherapy care, says it is important that everyone comes out for this and why he is here today.

[Edmund Heaphy @edmundheaphy]

I assume the absolutely mentally loud helicopter circling Dublin is Trump related, but why is it circling Dublin repeatedly eight hours prior to his arrival?

[Jacob Coxon @hilbertspaess]

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Scroll through this account and its live tweeting an apparent coup happening in Ireland lol

Its funny but it's basically indistinguishable from a lot of content that some people see all the time on their feed

Idk how we function in the future when ~10% of every population lives in alternate rage induced realities

[Steve Rosenberg @BBCSteveR]

35 years ago today there was unscheduled Swan Lake on Soviet TV…and a coup in the USSR. How are today’s Russian papers remembering the August 1991 coup? I take a look. #ReadingRussia

[RTÉ Sport @RTEsport]

KATE O'CONNOR IS A EUROPEAN GOLD MEDALLIST!

Not only that, she's beaten the Irish national record.

She has well and truly written herself into the history books.

Watch all the action on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.

[Cathal Dennehy @Cathal_Dennehy]

RTE often comes in for stick for its sport coverage, but from what I've seen from across the water this week, it's been fantastic.

Hats off to all the crew, and no one better than Greg Allen to voice these moments that will live forever.
