For the first time ever I was able to vote for a party based on their policy on football & sport.
Dialled in from Vienna this morning to chat with @molloyjoe.bsky.social about last night and also discuss football’s role in election week and the importance of the Bohs-Rovers Aviva experiment

Current squad (as best I can work out) for 2025. Still not a lot of movement and you imagine in December post the end of contracts that it will pick up a bit.

As always if I am missing anyone, just shout.

UEFA has confirmed to Sportbladet that there was a major VAR error to rule out Alexander Isak's goal for Sweden vs. Azerbaijan on Tuesday.

Isak was given offside, with this image displayed.

But it was not as it seems.

Was 33/1 with Cannybet to land the job.
Can’t question his record at Larne for sure but I have to say this is a big surprise to me.
Derry CEO Sean Barrett claims there are two leading candidates, both currently employed by clubs, with over 50 applicants for the vacancy. 🎽

Lynch is now expected to be announced within the next 24 hours. 📣

Football desperately needs the support of the next government to help develop a full-time academy system. Without that support, 🇮🇪 will fall further down the rankings over the next 5 to 10 years, esp considering the impact of Brexit has yet to reach the Sen international team. Time is not our friend.

Interesting one this. I’d have thought he’d have been a potential candidate for the Derry job.

FFS. After such an encouraging first half. 🤮

I think that’s what we’ll have to take from the game, how we played against and nullified a better side for the first 45.

Totally biased but that was very close to a pen on Ferguson.
Couldn’t have been too many complaints had it been given.

Our defensive shape has been very good so far and Festy has made a couple of great runs forward.
