97RedBalloons 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪🇵🇸

Obviously, it's a great achievement for Harry Kane to win the Ballon D'or, but it really does make you wonder how Mo Salah was snubbed for so many years. We've been sold the reason that you need to win a international title which clearly isn't the case. He never finished higher than 4th.

Definition of an Oxymoron: Embracing AI and all the Social Media platforms and then complain about all the Data Centres being built near you.

#Scarlets 🔴 are currently languishing at the bottom of the #URC but their performances so far this year give reason for optimism. Given the Ospreys ⚫️ win yesterday, it would be so gratifying to see both clubs finish above Cardiff and the Dragons, thus giving the proverbial two fingers to the #WRU

How the hell did this fraud win Player of the Season last year? A Captain is the one that sets an example, this clown goes missing time and again when things get tough. #Bruno #Fernandes #ManUtd

I bet this headline won’t be in the Irish version of the Daily Fail. Xenophobic right-wing rag, on a par with the Scum and the Express. I always mute that rotten song, my anthem celebrates our land, our culture and our people and not years of oppression as a subject of some German prick. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Within a matter of hrs of each other. Why would anyone read, listen ot click on any of this bullshit? #talksport

The genocide in Palestine didn't start after the Oct 7th atrocities, it has been going on since 1947. It's the rate of acceleration that's changed, depending on who is in the hot seat in the White House. Democrats & Republicans both support ethnic cleansing, just some do it slower than others.

@skysportpl.bsky.social Spare me the Bullshit. “Don’t punish the players, they didn’t know” “Don’t punish Pep, he didn’t know what was going on” What a load of rubbish. This hasn’t just surfaced. Fans and people have been talking about City’s corruption for years. Only the Media stayed silent.

Three of the most prominent Government ministers jumping on the Shane Lowry bandwagon. Conveniently forgetting the crises that are blighting the country at the moment. Sportswashing at it's finest. #corruptffg #corrupt #fucktrump

7 years. That is how long VAR has been in use in the #premierleague. Imagine employing people that continue to make the same errors that have blighted the technology since it came in. Can't think of any other 'business' that would allow this to happen. #getrid #var

Heating and Energy costs go up > that leads to higher inflation > that leads to an increase in interest rates. Those who benefit: Energy Companies and Shareholders Investors Those who lose: Us #renationalise

On a separate note, with these mindless balaclava wearing ‘patriots’ getting away with intimadatory behaviour in Dover and Portsmouth over the last few days… ..is it time for, oh I don’t know, maybe the KING to stand up and say something constructive to put these Neanderthals in their place?

A definite improvement on last year, but still a lot of work to do. I think we can all agree the lack of signing a genuine 6 is going to come back and bite us ultimately. A few positives tonight though. #LFC #LIVATL

I have to say, I think Araújo has been superb tonight. Looks like a really good signing. #LFC #LIVATL

Well, we got a good 60mins out of Barcola before the usual ‘new signing injury curse’ hit. #LFC #LIVATI

Got to admire #atleti and Simeone. Very few sides in Europe have consistenly caused us so many problems over the years. Always up for it, always capable of creating chances....and above all else, they dont let the Anfield factor bother them at all. #LFC #LIVATL

Kerkez.... sigh. Petulant, gets caught in possession, flies in unnecessarily, gets caught out of position....and thats just in defence. Offers nothing going forward. Compare his performance with that of Araưjo who isn't even playing his natural position. #LFC #LIVATL

I'm counting that as a shot on target....even if it was offside. I'll take anything at this stage #LFC #LIVATL

That's a goal and three assists for Gakpo in three games. Not a bad return from a player who could have been playing Coventry this weekend 🤦‍♂️ #IPSLIV

Best 'European' result of the night. #fuckisrael

Gladiator II is a pile of shite compared to the first one (bit late getting to it for good reason!) Maximus would turn in his grave #gladiatorII #turkey

This has to make it on to TV Bloopers in years to come. RTE suggesting Mona McSherry getting up to all sorts with her roomie 😂😂

This is Lee Hurst's career... ...only in reverse.

All the nonsense being discussed re Infantino's plan for selling off the World Cup is just s smoke screen i imagine to cover up all the BS surrounding the '26 World Cup. He knew no-one would go for it but no-onrs talking about hydration breaks, overturned red cards or expanded tournaments anymore.

Apparently there's an Energy Regulator in Ireland. You'd be forgiven for thinking there wasn't, as they have just approved yet another increase in Electricity tariffs despite the fact Ireland already pays the highest rates in Europe. #ripoffireland #energyprices

On Sunday, we witnessed historic scenes in Croke Park with Mayo's win in the All-Ireland Football Final and were reminded of the purity of sport and what it means to be a fan. Counter that with what we are witnessing with Fifa and Infantino and the contrast couldnt be more stark. #greed

Great to see Kildare finally winning an All-Ireland

One issue that's barely been mentioned amongst the noise of the World is the number of matches Infantino attended across the 6 weeks of the tournament. Startling figures, 44 matches, 70,000miles using a private jet sponsored by Qatar Airways. Of course, nothing to see here. #FIFACorruption

I assume Tuchel will now take off Rashford and bring on Reece James #FIFAWorldCup #ThirdPlacePlayOff #WhoCares

So, the man that abandoned the US Climate Change strategy is now furious that Canada can’t control the wild fires caused by Climate change. The lack of awareness is off the scale with this clown 🤡

In case we were in any doubt about FIFA corruption and greed... $12k for a World Cup ring. There will be 2000 of these available for sale. That's another $24,000,000 raised for the hungry c*nts. No doubt, Trump has his dirty mitts on this somewhere along the way.

Rugby Union is an utter farce these days. Boks replacement screams into Welsh defence, what's the defender supposed to do?? Stand aside and politely let him through. World Rugby have created this monster and have ruined what used to be an enjoyable sport to watch. #nationschampionship

We’ll conveniently overlook this piece of provocation by our Navy, whilst making a diplomatic fuss about a stupid crayon written flag after humiliating defeat. Sad really. #LasMalvinas

Sport, across the globe, has been ruined by money. #FIFACorruption #LIVGolf #GAA #Rugby

Sky Sports Kaveh Solhekol: I dont think now is the time to criticise the referee's performance yesterday (but I will nonetheless) 🙄

One benefit of seeing England lose is seeing the back of this unmericful self serving gobshite #ARGENG #FIFAWorldCup

Masssive opportunity wasted by England and Tuchel. All they needed was belief and a manager that could make the right tactical decisions when it mattered. They lacked both. #ARGENG

I've just finished watching 'An American Experiment' the @netflix documentary on the formation of the United States. It's a very good watch. I suspect many of the incumbents could well do with a refresher course on what the forefathers intended.

As ludicrous as it sounds, I think there's merit in saying to the population, Social Media will be turned off during the heatwave in order to conserve water and energy use in Data centres. @paulmurphy.pbp.ie

Bizarre performance from Norway thus far. 🤷‍♂️ They look like they're already playing for peno's. England should win this at a canter. #NORENG

Don't worry England, everyone in Ireland are rowing in behind you 👍🏼 #NORENG #FIFAWorldCup

The atmosphere is terrible at this game. That's what happens when real fans who can't afford tickets are replaced with Hollywood celebrities and billionaires. #ESPBEL #FIFAWorldCup

I'd love to see Michael Oliver referee the World Cup final. 👀

Anyone else a bit surprised Arsenal are letting Trossard go to Besiktas?? He played a big part in their title success last season and is a great little player imo. #USABEL

WTF is Kenny Cunningham on about? Utter clown. Trying too hard to be Dunphy and failing miserably. #USABEL @rte.ie #FiFACorruption
