Croke Park dimensions unsuitable for football matches. Designed for different sport. Went to all Rep. of Ireland games during Lansdowne Rd redevelopment, view of pitch was terrible. GAA & UEFA well matched though, an unparalleled greed for money, so nether care about the supporters in the stands!

Great to see the local action being taken by residents on Richmond Road jrnl.ie/6837769. You love to see it. #CityLiving
Day after Europe wins #RyderCup 2 top sports stories on @news.rte.ie website are #NFL! This weekend saw record breaking #WRWC2025 final & huge #ShelsvsAth 6 pointer #WLOI @leagueofireland.bsky.social! Bigger sports stories in #Ire but RTÉ cover controversial #MAGA #NFL! What's going on!
There hasn't been that many @bfcdublin.bsky.social supporters in #CrokePark since the 1893-1895 seasons. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemia... #GreatestLeagueInTheWorld #Oasis
#Euros2025 #GERvsFRA football, fucking hell! Alan Crawley certainly enjoyed that one too @rte.ie
Terrible decision by @faiofficial.bsky.social/Carla Ward to play women's #USSoccer team in the US, twice, at this time of year, in that heat, brought into sharp focus again tonight! What can be learned from that? Especially with the next games, in the playoffs against Belgium, being so important
Music... f*cking yeah! open.spotify.com/album/1PTPBD... #SPRINTS
Hmmm, for those in the back... bsky.app/profile/dext...
Hey @dublinpride.bsky.social @shelbournefc.ie womens teams have their annual 2025 Pride event in Tolka Park on Sat 14th June, vs #AthloneTownFC, kick-off 4pm www.instagram.com/share/BALug3...
Two great #AmberBarrett Performance Skill Clinics sessions attended by 2 awestruck fans in #SportIreland yesterday evening. A great ambassador & role model for young female football players & a credit to both #Ireland @faiofficial.bsky.social & @standard-rscl.bsky.social #COYGIG #Ireland
Congratulations @parissaingermain.bsky.social, the first country to win a @uefachampions.bsky.social club competition! 🤪 #SportsWashing #Qatar
www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025... hardly credible @davidmcwecon.bsky.social that 54% have a bachelor degree or higher! From where, in what, for what purpose? I know countries such as Germany use apprenticeships differently whereas we chose to educate for the same thing to an (unnesessary) level.
@finnharpsfc.bsky.social deserved better tonight, a very dubious penalty awarded against them and a nailed on one denied them. And that astro surface @braywanderersfc.bsky.social now have is a travesty, joining a notorious & regrettably growing list of clubs in #TheBestLeagueInTheWorld
Ahh, those flags in the photo include that of Ireland (Rep. of), which is not part of the union (for quite a while!). If you are looking for a flag for Nothern Ireland, they don't have one! So it's the Union Jack for them or unoffically the Ulster banner or maybe the Saint Patrick's cross!
A strange jumping off point by @murphyciaran.bsky.social iaran.bsky.social for a article about full-stadiums across the differing sporting codes in Ireland, a 1/3 empty Croke Park for a rugby game that would have filled the Aviva/Lansdowne Road!
Photo taken this morning in Dublin city centre! Loving this look for you! Grassroots activism in lieu of political will! #CityLiving #SustainableTourism
@leagueofireland.bsky.social my fantasy pick for the 2025 season ahead. Lets go! ready to go! #TheGreatestLeagueInTheWorld #UTH
Literally no interest in American football here, at all, on any level but yet here we are! @crokepark.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/politics/202... #DublinCityLiving
Classic kite flying, www.rte.ie/sport/us-spo... but @crokepark.bsky.social stadium director Peter McKenna is on the board of recently incorporated "Pittsburgh Steelers Ltd", www.irishtimes.com/business/202... & @news.rte.ie has a new found interest in all things NFL! And the residents? 🤔
Woohoo, f*$king game day! #IrlVsWal @faiofficial.bsky.social
Woohoo, #bluesky!
