The World Cup hasn't yet kicked off, but for Shamrock Rovers and St Patrick’s Athletic the money is already rolling in thanks to a FIFA programme that rewards clubs whose players are involved. Both clubs will receive huge windfalls 💰💰

“What really hurts them is the suburbs. We need to target them, flatten them and completely destroy them.”
Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir called on the army to “flatten” Beirut's suburbs “to the ground”, a direct incitement to mass civilian destruction.
Graham Burke added another sublime finish to his feature film-length highlights reel to fire Shamrock Rovers to a six-point lead at the top of the table.

A mention for our ministers here. Saying the Israel game should go ahead and then saying they'd boycott it themselves is beyond a joke. They should be dragged along to the Aviva.

I can only find two senior international games that Jamie Robinson refereed prior to tonight - Gibraltar v Wales & Scotland in June 2024.
He took charge of an Ireland U21 game against Iceland in 2023 and sent off Festy Ebosele.
