@IFBMedia Hounded out by certain Celtic element quick to jump on Irish players but not so much Scottish contingent if bad game. Idah as good as hough who hasn’t set world alight but not a peep

Israeli warplanes are carrying out strikes at the moment across the entire Gaza Strip.
A man in northern Gaza was killed. Drones are swarming the skies.
All happening amid the Ireland game.
Don't forget Gaza, boys in Green. Stop the game with genocidal maniacs.
@maor_leon@McDonnellDan I cried 20 years ago reading about Israel mowing down 3 wee boys on a beach and realised what they are, absolute demons. You have gall to talk about ignorance whiskt Israel doesn’t allow press in, talk about oct7 but oppression going on for many years prior.
I will always think of @Glen_Hansard busking on Grafton Street each Christmas Eve for the Simon community and the homeless - the Big Busk, which he started (and which inevitably also involved Bono and Sinéad O'Connor), was a huge part of returning to Dublin for the holidays, for me and many like me, living away.
It made sense to someone who was himself a former Dublin busker - he quit school in Ballymun at 13 to play on his city's streets. He even played an Irish busker on a Simpsons episode ("In the Name of the Grandfather"). The Commitments, The Frames, the Swell Season came after, and so did an Oscar and an Emmy. And still every Christmas he was out busking for the homeless, and getting every other Irish musician to, too.
And Once was both the perfect romantic comedy - the right amount bittersweet, no happy endings but we can value the moments of closeness we get, as long as they last - and the perfect Dublin film. I danced to Falling Slowly at my wedding.
We're all Broken Hearted Hoover Fixer Sucker Guys today. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Omg have just heard that Glen Hansard of the Frames has died. Shocked. RIP Glen. Great memories. Thinking of his family today. The devastation. This is a recent photo from his Instagram. What a man ❤️
Even though we got the right winners in the end, that was a pretty depressing World Cup Final.
Between the Half-Time Show taking 27 minutes, hydration breaks, clear yellow cards not being called, time wasting encouraged, one team refusing to play football, the two benches appealing every decision, Infantino / Trump double act, only 4 mins added at end of normal time, Argentina’s reaction at full-time whistle.
It’s been an enjoyable tournament but tonight was a huge let down on the biggest stage of all.
Football has plenty of things to fix.
