I love the " our neutrality" bit. What ' neutrality'? Is that a NATO frigate sitting in Dublin Bay? Who is guarding our airspace/ seas? We are not neutral when we have to ask NATO to protect us. Thanks to FF/ FG government who refuse to spend money on our own defence.

🇦🇷🔻Marcelo Bielsa: "I am sure that football is in a process of decline." "It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore." "If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football." "For me, the introduction of technology (like VAR) does a lot of harm to football." "This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal." "As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted."

They were freedom fighters, Sharron. And why do you think they were formed in the first place? Pick up a history book. We Irish know our history because we lived it — you Brits were never taught it. Educate yourself before running your mouth, ya clueless clown. Now fuck off!

Paddy saying what we were all thinking. 😂👏

🚨 Sir Alex Ferguson on Sir Jim Ratcliffe putting an end to his global ambassador role of £2.16 million per year deat at united. Sir Alex Ferguson 🗣️ “ “When I retired as Manchester United manager in 2013, it felt like someone had taken a part of my life away from me. I had spent 26 years giving everything I had to this football club. Manchester United wasn't simply my job. It became part of who I was. That is why becoming the club's global ambassador meant so much to me. I needed that connection with Manchester United. They could have taken away every penny from that role and I would still have wanted to keep it , because Manchester United was never about money to me.” I didn't need the money. I needed the connection. What hurt me was losing the role that allowed me to remain closely connected to the clubI' I love. I gave my life to it. Every time I walk into Old Trafford, every time I sit among the supporters, every time I see that badge, there is something inside me that comes alive again. “Manchester United gave me some of the greatest years of my life. The least I ever wanted in return was the chance to remain part of its family.” You can take away a title, a contract or an ambassadorial position from me — but you can never take Manchester United out of me.”
