No-one cares what I think!

A proud Cymro living in a slightly less senile Ireland. Believer in a Welsh Republic. Despise the Establishment. Let’s reboot the World.

Weather conditions are no-one’s fault, of course, but you’d think #Holyhead Port would have notified #StenaLine before the Ferry left Dublin that they were considering closing the port.

It might have prevented us being stuck out at sea for 16hrs (and counting).

This is all very well and good, but until the Greater Dublin Drainage Project is completed there'll be no capacity in Ringsend to cater for even 15% of these properties to be built.

Once more with feeling: Govt's latest housing plan on way
The Government will launch its housing plan tomorrow. It will be the fourth in 12 years.

It’s ironic that Virgin Media’s ‘Hooker’ gaffe didn’t create as much of a laugh about Welsh Rugby as their performance on the pitch.

Isn't it funny how Pep's 1000th game is against his biggest rival in English football.

Don't tell me PL fixtures aren't fixed.

Arguably the biggest result in Italian Rugby history.

Not sure if it says more about the state of rugby in Italy or if it says more about the state of rugby in Australia.

They keep calling Wirtz 'luckless' but he plays for #LFC which is pretty lucky in my book.

The Gardai would make a fortune if they did that in Ireland cos no one seems to understand how three-lane motorways work! People are glued to the middle lane blissfully unaware of the disruption they cause especially when they do less than the speed limit.

Better Motorway eduction required.

There's too much quality in #LFC forward line to not recognise this is only a blip and they will find a way to work effectively together.

The same can not be said of our defence. It's an utter mess.

This Welshman living in Ireland has witnessed two very interesting elections this week.

Both have seen favourable results for the left, both have seen the establishment put to the sword and both have seen 'a protest vote'

We may have witnessed the start of getting our democracy back.

BBC News:

Reform failed to win the election, Reform also didn’t finish third or fourth or fifth or sixth. What will Reform do now. Can Reform do better next time. How many more times can we fit the word Reform into our broadcast?

Massive news this.

Labout losing.
Plaid winning in South Wales.
Keeping Reform UK out.

Take your pick which is the biggest headline.

Well done people of Caerphilly 👏

I assume it's coincidence that the Royal British Legion launch their Poppy Appeal on the same day Soldier F gets found not guilty of the murders of 2 Derry people on Bloody Sunday, but someone could have shown a bit of sensitivity here.

They've no shame.

One (of many) observations about yesterday's game. Why does Konate, who probably had his best game in some time, insist on heading every single ball away regardless of whether there's anyone near him or not.

Surely, take the ball down and play the % ball is sometimes the best option?

#LFC

#LFC lost, #MUFC won.

As disappointing as that was, to call this abysmal match, a 'thrilling contest' is pathetic.

The league is maybe more competitive but I can't remember the last time a #LFCMUFC match was better than Barcelona v Real
October 19, 2025 at 7:04 PM
I firmly believe the pressure is off #LFC right now. We are muck, there's no system, structure or belief.

As a result, we can probably agree that the League might be gone, and any chance of a trophy too.

So, NOW, the rebuild begins. NOW, #Slot earns his bucks and shows what he's made of.

Cracking county final going on in Tullamore right now. Eleven pts down at HT, Shinrone making a real game of this.

How was that #LeinstervMunster match allowed to be played in Croker? It seems it's a lottery now where and when Leinster play.

Wouldn't be so bad if businesses on that side of the city benefitted but southside pubs putting on buses to drag their sorry arses back to D4 is pitiful.

As #Starmer seems to enjoy meddling perhaps he could step in and actually do something useful here?

The Indo laying hard and fast with the term ‘life is in ruins’ here.

Just how out of touch with reality are these people?

It's well publicised that the voting slips for the Irish Presidential election will still have Jim Gavins name on it despite him having pulled out of the race two weeks ago.

...but why are his election posters still up?

Somehow, we still have a chance to get out of the group, but we'll need a much improved performance against N.Macedonia in the next match.

Wilsons yellow 🟨 was recklessly stupid. He'll be missed.

After a great start that's three defeats on the spin for Bellamy.

The commentators can dress it up as much as they want but this has been a rotten performance from Wales tonight. No where near good enough at this level. Too many misplaced passes, too passive in possession and frankly pathetic defending at times.

Even the crowd have been shit.

Wow, Bellamy sticking his reputation on the line tonight leaving Moore and Johnson on the bench. Great to see Rodon and Amps back. Neco will need help dealing with Doku.
