Lost a lot of respect for Le Professeur

Ronaldo’s White House night was a pre-cursor to the political theatre of the draw and a snapshot of so many issues

I like Bluesky in general and it has a much nicer vibe than the cesspit app, but it doesn't compare with live events. The memes and everything popping off on twitter after the game I'd say. Do miss that a bit #speirgorm #coybig #ireland
