So, let me get this straight. A player can now commit two yellow card offences (one of which is a dangerous hit on a player in the air) and there is a still a chance England have a full compliment for the final 30, along with a big bench to use. Makes no sense

Yeah, seemed very dangerous. The fact he was on a yellow meant he was going anyway.

Did that England yellow card go to the bunker? In other words if that's a straight red on top of a yellow is it still 20 mins? Or is it the rest of the game with 14 men. #ScovEng

#irevita There'll be a card for all the pushing and shoving shite. We'll do well to win this. The lack of a decent kicker might cost us too. That kick Prendergast missed was shocking

Anyone spot a cyclist (me) knocked off her bike along the canal at drimnagh today by someone who drove away? If you got a reg Iโ€™d love the help to report them! @ibike.ie

I assume for Security reasons away fans will be banned. If they don't aside from the Genocidal hooligans, every far right neanderthal from the North and the UK will come too.

FAI say they will play Israel - but this Nations League controversy is only just beginning Irelandโ€™s games with Israel will be played โ€“ but we donโ€™t yet know where the games will be.

Piece on some of the questions and conundrums now facing the FAI following the Israel draw

Letโ€™s see how public opinion and political action effect the prospect of Ireland actually playing the child murdering Zionists.
FAI have already decreed theyโ€™ll play.
Last time we hosted them I was challenged by one of their gun toting goons in dressing room area of old Lansdowne #Spรชirghorm

There is simply no moral argument for allowing war criminals to compete at the Olympics.

Tagabow in Whelans tonight were class. First time I've seen a band play with the drummer on the stage and the band playing in front of him in a circle. Great if you had a good vantage point like myself.

An investigation by a German outlet has found that in German supermarkets, wines from illegal settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank are labelled as "from Israel".
