Another part of my youth gone.
Loved Big Break on Saturday nights.

Really wish the Irish media would stop calling today what Trump wants to call it. You are only feeding the beast!

That Trump is alienating so many former allies in a short space of time, it feels like it's building up to something big.

Canadians are resourceful, they'll transition to non-American products.

Recalling the Dail won't get the electricity or water back quicker. All it will do is distract local represtatives who are working on it away from the media glare. Let them focus on the job at hand.

Amazed that for all the FRC Rule changes that the elimination of the handpassed point wasn't one of them #GaelicFootball

As close to perfection from Na Fianna in the first half.

He's moving on if the charges stick to Man City who are just ensuring they get a big fee for him.

The Munster game on RTE is being ruined by the commentator.

Timing can matter in a season. Liverpool's rearranged game with Everton is more difficult now than it was last month.

Looking at all the American Presidents and their wives at the Jimmy Carter funeral, all looks very uncomfortable bar Obama and Trump

Is there a country Trump hasn't economically threatened in his press conference!!!

None of the Irish teams have been easy on the eye this season. Is it a shift towards playing more like the South African teams, less flash

I'm into day 4 of this flu. The worst I've ever experienced in terms of aches and lack of energy

Tottenham and Manchester United playing out as you expect.
Both sides are complete chaos

Surely they should be looking to have a government in place here before Trump takes over. Delaying the return of the Dail until after his inauguration is shortsighted #Ireland

Has Munster v Castres ever been a good game of rugby?

Beginning to warm to the new Champions League format.
Man City and Real Madrid under pressure to make the knockout stage. They probably will but great to see the big teams made to battle

Jimmy Ratcliffe is another one of those Brexiteer bluffers

In my near fifteen years living in Nenagh, we haven't lost power during a storm. It must have come close to it last night

Both Tipperary Minor A and B Football finals plus the U21 B Football semi-final on Sunday all moved to Fethard Town Park.

What a massive benefit this place has been over the last two years.
