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?

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?

Probably but its seeded so better to get a play-off spot as runners up in the group.

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.

Lads, it breaks my heart, but logistical issues mean I'm going to miss out on the Belgium game tomorrow night. Happy to let some deserving soul buy my seat for the game. £40

Anyone know anyone interested?

Why do they insult our intelligence with BS like this. As if he picked up a knock.

Wales used to put up with bollix like this from Ferguson every time Giggs was scheduled to play for us.

Just be honest, and say he's no interest in playing a meaningless friendly.

With the LVA finally having bullied their way into a 6% reduction on VAT i guess we can all look forward to cheaper pints now.

Yeah, right.

When did politics become a question of playing both sides. Back in the day, you knew who and what you were voting for. Labour, left wing and socialist, Tory, right wing.

Now these clowns have no morals, principles or beliefs as they just swing from side to side trying to pander to everyone.

UK PM Keir Starmer will spend today selling Brits a new migration crackdown.

But the prime minister is trying to tread carefully — persuading the right he’s tough and the left he’s compassionate.

UEFA couldn't wait to find an excuse to postpone the vote on banning Israel and Israeli clubs from European competition.

Based purely on a 'proposed' peace deal.

Surely, it would have been more prudent to postpone the vote if the killing had been postponed.

So the LVA want the Government to reintroduce the 9% vat rate, want insurance companies to cut premiums, want staff to accept pay cuts, want breweries to freeze prices but they never ever pass on anything to consumers.

Guess they have to pay for that 251 Range Rover somehow.

Liverpool didn't win the league last weekend.

Arsenal havent won it this week either. Calm the jets.

Only thing I would say is that they are playing better than us at the mo, and we need to find some consistency and do the basics well. Other than that, no need to panic.

The hostility at the Ryder Cup was very predictable. It may be a lazy analogy, but the typical American golf fan is the worst type of American. Bullish, arrogant, and obnoxious. Delighted to see the Europeans put manners on them.

I only wish our politicians would do the same.
