Look at these fucking idiots.

[KENNY BEECHAM @KOT4Q]

YEAAAAA COACH!!!

There’s a Parrott loose in Budapest

The only terror being caused right now is by the IDF. How about trying to protect the human rights of the Palestinians instead of disgusting points scoring?

[Thomas Byrne @ThomasByrneTD]

Hamas are murderers and rapists.

Every EU country - including Ireland - has declared that Hamas are terrorists.

Nobody aspiring to be president of Ireland, a country founded on human rights and the rule of law, should have any tolerance whatever for Hamas.

@DougieCritchley This might just be me, but Harvey Elliott has been so impressive in limited minutes this season. So decisive around the box and capable of playing in multiple positions. Not sure how long he has left at the club considering his lack of minutes but he’s such an underrated player.

🗣 "I’ve no time for them. There’s not many, probably on one hand, that you can trust."

Shelbourne manager Damien Duff spoke openly about his dislike of agents after his side's draw with Shamrock Rovers on Friday night.

[Balls.ie @ballsdotie]

🗣️"H was way off it last year. He'll admit it himself. But he's a different animal this year. He's one of the best players in the league."

Harry Wood scored again for Shels last night in their 1-1 draw with Shamrock Rovers and Damien Duff was singing his praises.

🗣️"I'll speak to Damien now. I'll see if we can agree to let our players go for free"

Stephen Bradley was gobsmacked discussing Ian Harte's recent comments on the LOI "killing young lads’ chances".

Question by Dan McDonnell of the Indo.

[Conor Cantwell @theccantwell]

I was curious about the 'Sack Race' so I decided to delve into the history of mid-season sackings in the Premier League.

You can read it on my substack, linked below.

Bradley also said he was shocked about the lack of criticism over Heimir Hallgrimmson’s comments from the media

[Balls.ie @ballsdotie]

🗣️"That's incredibly disrespectful to me and the league"

At the Aviva today, Stephen Bradley had some very strong criticism for Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimmson for comments made before Christmas about Shamrock Rovers players needing to move abroad to get a chance of playing for the national team.

Damien Duff, family legacy, that night in Derry and a desire for more famous days in red.

Spoke to @shelsfc’s Evan Caffrey for @The42_ie . 👇🏻

Should the Premier League All-Star game become a reality? Todd Boehly mentioned this idea soon after taking charge of Chelsea, and I thought it might be interesting to talk about its feasibility and flaws.

🏅Premier League Team of the Season (Halfway Point)🏅

Every team has played at least half of their allocated league fixtures, so who makes the Team of the Season so far?

I give my team down below!

Where should every Premier League team look to strengthen in the transfer window? I give my thoughts about all 20 teams here.

Liverpool will start the 2025/26 season with THREE top-class goalkeepers on their roster.

Here are my thoughts on the situation, obviously looking at Caoimhín Kelleher in particular.

Great thread. There is so much racist/xenophobic nonsense on twitter at the moment. If you're frustrated, that's understandable, but targeting people who are also struggling is stupid and unproductive. Use your vote.

[Danny Boy @Care2much18]

This viral tweet and accompanying video is a textbook example of how racists distort and manipulate media to incite pile-ons.

Their target seems to be a lovely young woman but she isn't white and that's all the excuse these racists need.

Here's the truth behind the video: /1

[Conor Cantwell @theccantwell]

So unbelievably delusional. Kamala Harris isolated young people, Muslims and people who might move to America. 'Small businesses' and 'the most lethal army in the world' are not buzz words for the disenfranchised people in America who don't see an improvement in their lives.

[HOT SPOT @HotSpotHotSpot]

JOY REID: Kamala Harris was a "historic, flawlessly run" campaign

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

america was angry in 2016, ppl had lost faith in the institutions, they voted for a sledgehammer. dems have acted like those institutions are fine since then. never learned the lessons. blamed the left. ran to the right. here are the results.

[Conor Cantwell @theccantwell]

Did this clip end up on the right side of an election win?

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

I think about this all the time. It’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen.
