Grattis, alla er som röstade på Tidöpartierna - och ett extra-stort grattis till er som röstade på "Liberalerna"! Era jävla idioter.

BTW, even if there is an exodus because of a wealth tax - fuck those people who don't want to pay their share. Never let them back into the country again.

Remarkable wording in the announcement of the Nobel Peace prize. Seemingly it's OK to point out that Pilay is chair of a court in which "Myanmar stands accused of genocide", but not that she chaired a UN commission that found that Israel is committing genocide in the Occupied Palestinian territory?

Don't tell him I said this, but Mark is consistently the smartest voice in any room he's in talking about sport and children's place in it - and of course, the FAI wouldn't let him within an ass's roar of whatever flaming pile of stinking garbage their current "youth development" plan is.

New article in the Irish Examiner The illusion of professionalism - when football system designed to serve children starts serving itself Systems don’t rise to the level of their goals, they fall to the level of their design. www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer...

The only only sportsman and the only real man among them, standing head and shoulders above the cowards in the squad, the coaching staff and the FAI. This is how simple it is to do the right thing.

The Irish people will soon make up their own minds as to whether they are, or they are not, in favour of the Apartheid regime of Israel's settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, infanticide, genocide, collective punishment of the Palestinian people, wanton destruction www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Spineless and ignorant, but the corporate cult of administration just rolls on

David Courell must resign. #stopthegame

Welcome to Sweden, and the election nobody won - how hope is in short supply, despite an apparent win for the red-green bloc after four years of far-right chaos. philipoconnor.com/welcome-to-s...

Protesters at the Irish Open. shitler’s international golf links and hotel Doonbeg, Ireland. Thank you, Doonbeg!

... is continue to state the facts and report what I see on the ground. The reason I do so is because I have read the books, visited the places & seen the graves of Nazism's victims. I am not afraid for myself. I am afraid for Sweden. So I'll say it one more time: No pasarán. Not now. Not ever.

In 1933, a retirement home for Jewish people opened at Lützowstrasse 48/49 in Berlin, a place for them to live their remaining days in dignity. In 1939, it was taken over by the Nazis, who turned it into a propaganda office for HItler's Schutzstaffel - better known as the SS. (1/n)

Sweden has already done this btw - hard/far-right is lobbying the hard of thinking with their "great replacement" horseshit, and idiot politicians are swallowing it whole.

A useless, spineless, gormless piece of shit.

The Greatest

Un. Fucking. Disputed. #KatieTaylor

Katie Taylor is Ireland's greatest-ever athlete, and I'm so thankful she gets to walk away on her own terms. A warrior, a winner and a woman whose pride in her country and her sport was never in doubt or besmirched. We will never see the likes of her again.

Football administration and governance in Ireland is not fit for purpose, and as always it is the most marginalised people and teams that suffer.

One of the most horrific stories I’ve ever reported was published this weekend. Please, everyone privileged in this world, read it and really think about what it means not to have freedom of travel. www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

These people are clowns! They should start a new gene of "political" music and call it POPulism @philipoconnor.bsky.social

Is there Something I should know? @philipoconnor.bsky.social

By no means a royalist, but Norway's king was built different. A lot of my Norwegian friends are queer, and his support for that community, especially when they were being attacked, was invaluable to them. This speech from 2016 is one I'll never forget.

A great singer, songwriter, artist and person. One of the best to ever do it. Rest in peace, Dolly.

As I point out in this piece, Harris and his government with say all the right things, but they won't actually do anything. Meanwhile, a 17-year-old was murdered with a sword in school in Sweden by a fellow student who lionised mass murderers on TikTok. philipoconnor.com/irelands-fai...

Our coaching practices reflect historically situated ways of thinking. A key problem is that analytical distinctions (Spider/radar charts, separation of technical, tactical, physical, psychological) can be mistaken for distinctions that exist in reality. footblogball.wordpress.com/2026/08/17/3...

It is looking like 5 out of 5 Norwegian clubs will have reached the play-offs in UEFA’s three club competitions! Bodø/Glimt & Viking – Champions League, Lillestrøm – Europa League, Brann &Tromsø – Conference League footblogball.wordpress.com/2026/07/01/f...

Fuck this fascist shithole - and anyone who thinks it will be better when the fascists are kicked out of power in a month is dedluding themselves, as the main opposition are just as bad. No pasaràn.

Article on the Irish football/soccer debate in last Thursday's @irishexaminer.bsky.social "We need to critique the dominant ‘production’ narrative that increasingly shapes the youth football discussion."

Did a workshop and the closing key note for the Austrian FA at their coach education conference in beautiful Saalfelden near Salzburg. Some great questions and discussions.
