I hate the coppers being such aggressive cunts when we go on euro aways, heavy handed bastards and by and large, unnecessary But I have no issue seeing our lot give a bit back for a change, dirty bastards them Roma lot

It seems to me that democracy has on the whole worked very well in America over the last decade, and perhaps better than in any other major country in the West. National outcomes have repeatedly been responsive to underlying voter preferences on meaningful questions, and significant changes in policy have ensued. I’ve been reading Democracy in America this past week, and it’s striking how much it still rhymes nearly two centuries later.

A shirt I never thought I'd be lucky enough to hold, never mind own... Ireland Manager, Captain, Legend, John Giles.... His No 10 shirt from the International Friendly v England at Wembley in 1976. Swapped with his former Leeds team mate, Paul Madeley....

YOU HAVE A NECK LIKE A JOCKEYS BOLLOX COMING OUT WITH THESE STATEMENTS. NO SENTIENT BEING WOULD EVER SHOW THEIR FACE IN PUBLIC IF THEY DID WHAT YOU DID.

On this day in 1959, a nipper called John Giles made his debut for the Rep of Ireland, in Dalymount Park, against Sweden. 42k fans saw the Irish go 2 down very early, before young Johnny scored in the 16th minute to spark the comeback. Dermot Curtis added 2 more to make it 3 2

Some crazy scenes from Dublin. Its a tough night to be a fireman or a Guard. Lets hope everyone stays safe .

Am I the only one who’s been to the San Siro and thought it was absolutely dreadful? 🤣

Poland away, in Katowice, on this date in 1968, A 1 nil defeat... The lads in the FAI had a ball I'd say. 🤫

Marc White's absolute RAGE. 🤬 🗯️

The Rep of Ireland welcomed Luxembourg to Dalymount Park for a WC Qualifier on this date in 1953.. 20k spectators enjoyed a 4 nil win, Arthur Fitzimons with 2, Reg Ryan & Tommy Eglinton with the others... Noel Cantwell made his debut in this game...

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." Credit to: Jim Keller

The Rep of Ireland travelled to Sevilla, Spain for this crucial World Cup Qualifier on this date in 1965. Andy McEvoy gave us a 1 nil lead, but Spain hit back, emphatically, to win 4 1... All was not lost however, we had a play off to come, against Spain, on neutral ground.

Of course he did. A Bohs freebie. Were they sold at last nights Hamas rally? Hows that going for Bohs then? Did they win the league or cup? Did I miss that? Only asking. Suppose will sell lots of Bohs shirts in Iran!

The Wall Street Journal, one of the most respected newspapers in the world, has now published a new opinion piece about antisemitism in Ireland Those who continue to deny the existence of antisemitism in Ireland are looking increasingly both foolish and hateful

Mark Allen: “I’m just trying to survive at the minute. My snooker career might be over.”

lol please keep telling us how Ireland doesn't have an antisemitism problem.

Waiter: “Sir, your bill is $420.” Me: “My bill? I only ordered a sandwich and a drink.” The waiter turned the screen toward me. There were charges for a three-course meal, two bottles of wine, and a birthday cake. Me: “You’ve brought me somebody else’s bill.” Waiter: “I’m afraid the reservation was made under your name.” I checked the receipt. My full name was printed at the top. I’d never been to this restaurant before. I asked to speak to the manager, who arrived with a tired expression. Manager: “Sir, we had a party of six tonight. The reservation was made online, and the person who booked it gave your name and phone number.” Me: “Well, I wasn’t part of that party.” He checked his computer. Manager: “The reservation also included a note saying the host would settle the bill at the end.” Me: “Then find the host. I’m not paying for a meal I didn’t eat.” The manager asked the waiter to show me the party. They were still sitting at a table near the back, laughing and taking pictures. I walked over with the manager. Me: “Excuse me. Who made this reservation?” A man in a blue shirt raised his hand. Man: “I did. Is there a problem?” I showed him the receipt. Me: “Why is my name on your bill?” He glanced at it and laughed. Man: “Oh, you’re the guy from the group chat!” I had no idea what he was talking about. Then he pulled out his phone and showed me a screenshot. My name and photograph were at the top of a group chat I’d never seen before. And beneath them was a message that made my stomach turn.
