Just putting it out there that magpies are absolute dicks of a bird. Bloody magpie sitting on the wall squawking and annoying my dog. #Jeeryfucker

The amount of priests who had their phones out taking pictures of the coffin when it was being taken away is shocking and so disrespectful. #copon

It's a little ridiculous in a top competition that a side can win 62-0 and 52-0 in the space of a week and think it's meaningful. If Leinster doesn't win Europe this year heads should roll

Leinster is still in my opinion giving away too many penalties. This will hurt them in a tight game when kicking penalties might win the game. #justsaying

Thankfully Ireland managed to win that game or else that assistant referee would be getting slated. Shocking call that cost Ireland a possible try.

RTE news : Jackman: €6m drop in 6N income would cost IRFU dearly www.rte.ie/sport/six-na... Failing to get the bonus point against Wales and leaking those 2 late tries to England could cost Ireland dearly.

Ireland didn't deserve to beat France but with all the technology on offer how could the referee decide that Peter O'Mahoney wasn't taken out is beyond me. That was just a shocking decision.

I don't get why the world is shocked with Trump. He literally set his stall out on his campaign trail. Quite frankly the next president of America will have a lot of bridges to mend.

How was Cardiff's 1st try not overturned, it was surely obstruction? #LEIvCAR

Good to see a leader stand up to Trump, other countries need to take a leaf out of #Zelenskys book 👏

It needs to be said that Ireland was shocking today. There is no excuse for only beating Wales by 9ts. Wales are shite at the moment and not to get a bonus point is unacceptable.

Hate the 20min red card. Ringrose tackle was bad and Ireland should have suffered the consequences. Fuck the spectacle protect the players

Just putting it out there, Trump is batshit crazy.

I thought Sam Prendergast had a very good game but in my opinion JGP was the best player on the pitch.

Extremely disappointed with Roy Keane, on the latest episode of stick to football he didn't correct Lawrence Dalligo that we Irish spent 800 years fighting British oppression not 600 years. Get your facts correct

You got to love the balls of Jake Paul saying Canelo is ducking him. If the fight lasted more than a round Canelo should hang his head in shame and quit boxing

I'd love to hear from the councillors and TDs on the plans for addressing the empty units on the town and quay front. We need something #stepup.

You know you're having a bad day, when you use the calculator on your laptop to make a call instead of Skype 🫣

The problem for Jack Crowley is he's doing so well as a finisher he's playing himself into that role.

I can't believe that Donald Trump went straight into blaming mode before even offering condolences to those who lost their lives in this tragedy. #greatleadership 👍

Just watched caddo lake and if I'm being honest, WTF

Regardless of your political persuasion, it just shows a lack of common decency for TD's not to applaud the appointment of Micheal Martin when he was named as Taoiseach.

The Denis Irwin episode of stick to football was brilliant. Without a doubt he was the best full back of his generation in English football.

Conor McManus calls time on his inter-county career, what a player. Another one of those that deserved to win an all-ireland but that's the joys of it. Definitely inspired a generation in Monaghan.

Monday brings the start of 4 years of bat shit craziness. President Musk and his side kick Trump will turn the world on it's head #thanksAmerica

I'd love to see Cian Prendergast get a shot in the 6 nations. He's been Ireland's stand out 6 this season.

An amazing updated shot of the street I grew up in from the 1900s.

It's mad to think that my daughter's rugby game that was due to be played in Tullow this morning only got cancelled at 8am. Why isn't there a protocol for all sporting bodies orange weather alert everything cancelled and not leave it to the club's to make the final decision. #bonkers

Looking forward to 2025, looking to go for a few more pints in my local. In fairness Billy Kelly is a top man and we should support local businesses. Lots of love everyone

Been a great couple of days sports wise @wolvesfc.bsky.social beat Manu and @leinsterrugby.bsky.social beat Munster.

Happy Christmas everyone, hope you're enjoying time with family and friends ❤️

#Fury definitely lost that fight, can't see why anyone could see it differently. 1st round a draw, Fury won rnds 2 to 5 but lost the rest. He was too tentative, looked like he was afraid to let his hands go for fear of getting caught. #Usyk is the greatest of his generation.

The moon shining brightly over Wexford at 8.10 this morning.

Bus Eireann is a shit show. My wife booked a ticket for the 8am bus from Wexford. They cancelled it at 7.55am via email, she couldn't book the 9am, must be full and there was a 2e charge to amend her ticket 🙄. #shitshow

Leinster won't win anything this year unless they can get their penalty count down. I watched them a few times this year it's just not good enough

I see Verona Murphy's name has been mentioned as a possible Independent that FF & FG may reach out too. Would she be up to it and what deal could she get for Wexford?

Well that's me done, Saturday night looking at the #GE talk on @rteone.bsky.social 😀. How can SF look at this as anything other than a disaster. Given all the ills in the country they still can't convince enough people to believe they can be the difference

Missed The Debate last night but I see Mary Lou dropped her Tweedledee & Tweedledum remark again. Someone should have told her it doesn't have the same impact the 2nd time round.

Fair play to the u21 hurlers from St Anne's & Davidstown who put up a great show in today's semi-final in atrocious conditions. The Anne's eventually came out on top on a scoreline of 3-13 to 2-14. #winterhurling

Prendergast in fairness had a good day, made mistakes but recovered. Isn't that the mentality we want to see?
