Is there any end to the incompetence of @news.rte.ie ? Three times this morning on the 9:00am news, Brian Jennings referred to Arts Minister Patrick O’Donovan as ‘Mr O’Donoghue’.
It’s ironic that Mr O’Donovan is the Minister responsible for RTE!

Cork City FC are extremely disappointed that today’s game against Shamrock Rovers has been called off so close to kick-off.
In particular, we regret the impact it has had on our supporters who had travelled long distances to attend the game.

Shamrock Rovers vs Cork City FC postponed at 5pm. What a pain in the arse for Cork City supporters. Maybe the season should start a small bit later. #LeagueOfIreland

Fun Irish planning fact: 95% of all developments over 100 units get objected to in Ireland.
The government will never reach its housing targets without reforming planning laws.

Remember, this decision was overturned unanimously on appeal in around 45 minutes it was that egregious.
Arsenal have been fined £65,000 for nine of their players surrounding Michael Oliver after Myles Lewis-Skelly’s sending off at Wolves.
This is more than 3 times above the standard fine for Premier League clubs.
The regulatory commission blamed the long time spent protesting & forceful protests

The thing with Gary Neville that has been abundantly clear for a long time is that he’s a busy guy and he just doesn’t watch football anymore. The only games he watches are the ones he works on, which is why he transitioned to lazy, narrative based analysis. He should hire a researcher.
