The result doesn't matter. Thanks to the incompetence of the FAI, Ireland lost to Israel before a ball was even kicked. philipoconnor.com/ireland-roun...

How any fan can read this and think the FAI or these players represent them is utterly beyond me, and while I have some sympathy for the players, their refusal to speak to the media is an unparalleled act of arrogance and cowardice that is not being discussed at all.

An assault happened in Sligo. Theres been very limited details, other then something happened and someone was seriously hurt. The priorities of people with hate filled agendas has led to them arguing in comments online over whether the group they want to demonise are travellers or immigrants.

Keep sports out of politics so. No civic receptions of sporting people. No news coverage along side political issues. No addressing corruption/fairness. No public funding, promotion, or material support for sporting amenities/events. ...oh are ethics/resources/power relevant to sports after all..🙄

Reading and listening to some things this morning about Ireland's "win" over Israel last night, and I just want to put a few things straight, both for the Irish players and the FAI, and some of the people commenting. 1. By playing the game last night, the Irish players made all of us - the ...

That’s it. There was no stand off, somehow, during the pogroms. There were no attempt at policing. There were not that many calls for the enforcement of the law. There were no announcement made that this was unlawful. But again, we all know where Lockhart was

They did the one thing their own country asked them not to do - they played. None of their pathetic "protests" matter.

Reading comments from Hallgrimsson about how difficult the last few days have been for his soup-takers & what the potential consequences might have been for Irish football. I'd love to ask player Suleiman Obeid what the consequences of genocide are for Palestinians, but I can't. Israel killed him.

Irish football team beat Israel 3 nil. By appeasing sportswashing of a genocidal regime, & doing a ‘both sides’ statement, Ireland lost in the eyes of history. Their appeasement is second only to their lack of sportsmanship. Only one man stood for humanity by refusing to play. They are complicit.

Thanks to the footballers pathetic attempt to make themselves feel better for crossing the picket line, is that every media outlet is talking about black armbands with the vague bothsideing term "conflict". The irish team softened the phrasing away from genocide. Fuck them. #spéirghorm

we really don't talk enough about the utter contempt certain quarters of the southern political and media establishment have for northern nationalists. not in a subtle way, not in an "if you think about it" way, just open disgust and disdain for people they would rather didn't exist

Also - I don't care how you voted, you're getting no sympathy for me. You had the chance to do the right thing, and you didn't. You still have the chance to do the right thing, but you won't. Not even the smallest violin for you, you coward. How dare you pull on an Irish shirt.

And as for whoever turned on Bazunu, just go. Never darken the door of Irish football again, you worthless boot-licker.

On a night a community waits on tenderhooks, to treat a serious issue like this jst to make a needlessly bitchy comment to troll people who want a railway... Genuine amenity campaigns don't engage in such disgusting anonymous online trolling. This is low even for collooney greenways campaign.

👏👏👏 "When activists n Ireland heard that Peter Thiel’s secret club, Dialog, was planning to meet n the Irish countryside, they launched a campaign to stop it. They succeeded" PEOPLE OF IRELAND CAME THRU & SHOWED THIEL THE DOOR: DON'T LET THIS PASS W/O THEIR PROPS therealnews.com/peter-thiels...

Considering recent court findings against "gender-criticals" in the North, I neither fancy their chances, or the optics of Lady Mouldcastle openly intervening in matters that don't concern her. Love the lack of fadas in the statement, too, very respectful. #spéirghorm #ireland

Far right influencer Michael McCarthy knowingly and willfully uses his public platform to incite abuse and harrassment against others, and even to silence a journalist. I can prove it because I’m the journalist he silenced, and I kept screenshots of our messages. leftinthelurch.net/2026/07/06/i...

Been trying to free up some mental space for myself, last friday I finally finished a bit of work that Id been tipping away with for months trying to get done and Im so used to the guilt/oh god I need to get that done vibe that its weird today being like oh thats actually off the do list!

I disagree with the logic of this decision. I also note this reasoning isn't applied when discussing the decriminalisation of drugs so its also inconsistently applied. I don't understand the context of talking about being obsessed or it being a sensitive issue, I find those comments bizarre.

Why do why do people look for engagement on this site when they just want want to get ratty when you do. The increasing levels ofwell actually responses and weird low level hostile vibes even when your agreeing or building on someones point really putting me off engaging on here.

Folks may not have noticed, ILMI have moved off twitter and on to bsky so pls make sure to give them a follow and support orgs that have made the move to build their following here and reach more people with all the cool (disabled person led!) work going on in disability rights! #spéirghorm

All aboard!😁 Excited Sligo DPO delagates on our way up to Dublin for the inaugeral @ilmireland.bsky.social Local DPO Network event!! Looking forward to meeting up with all our DPO counterparts from other counties! #spéirghorm #disability #ireland #DPO

Call me an idealist, but I think that a prerequisite for hosting an international sport event should be that you're willing to host an international sport event.

Got a pack of some jacobs peanuty chocolatey biscuity thingys and pleasantly surprised to find that rather then a plastic moulding that exists only to deceive you on the amount yer getting, that my biscuits were in a cardboard insert of just the amount needed to protect them. More of this!

Oooh only couple days to go! Really excited about this! It will be class to meet up with reps from other local Disabled Persons Organisations and hear about all the cool stuff they are up to! #spéirghorm

Hell yes #speirgorm #Queer
