[Frank.Riot 🍉 @RiotFrank]

Some of those women gave everything so you could sit in that chair, and you repay them by rewriting and erasing their stories, to give cover for genocide. Absolutely pathetic.

@CarlowCollege is being closed over two years, with all 87 staff being made redundant and all programmes wound down. Some of us will be made redundant immediately, some kept on a year by year basis. We still do not know who. Or what the workloads will be. This was not the plan.

@SkySportsNews Platini finally made his move after holding back for so long, and the timing was perfect, just three days before the World Cup

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Infantino claims he can't do anything about Referees, players, journalists and fans being banned from the World Cup because in every country there are Governments.

In 2023 Indonesia refused to let the Israeli U23 squad have visas

FIFA instantly moved the tournament to Argentina

> Fred West killed 12-20 people. No riots.
> Harold Shipman killed 215-250 people. No riots.
> 522 murders took place in England and Wales, in the year ending March 2025. No riots.
> An immigrant kills 1 person. Violent riots.

It's two-tier rioting, isn't it?

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry.

Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances".

Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

A 72 year old man was savaged stabbed to death in his home in Dungannon last year.

There was no rampaging gangs "protecting their communities".

Guess why?

Because the victim was polish and the murderer was a "local" man.

These aren't concerned citizens they're racists.

This one hits hard.

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas

Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.

[Ian L Richardson @ianrich15813274]

When one of the most respected referees in world football is refused entry by the host nation, because they don't like his home country, the correct response of the other referees should be to boycott the tournament unless he is allowed to do his job. Sadly, that won't happen.

[Ormond @ormondlad]

@LeinsterClub URC run final and its not like getting tickets will be an issue anyway based on last few games attendances

[Ormond @ormondlad]

The @IrishRugby website got done up. great but impossible to find pieces on site now. AIL info harder and no info on what layout of AIL is next season. what is full list of 2B North/South etc

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

No, Mr. President. The 2020 election that you lost was not "rigged" or "dirty," handing out $1.776 billion to violent insurrectionists is not a "good idea" & reporters who ask questions about your bogus claims are not "crooked."

You are a president, not a dictator. Act like it.

[Ormond @ormondlad]

@Caolan_Scully yeah the month is irrelevant its the competition with other sports and karl brophy talking about a tiny number of fee paying primary schools is totally irrelvant. its competition with so many other events thats issue
