[Who are The Stunning??]

Oh, I can see  the top 10 now.

Who are The Stunning??

I wouldn't  have Zombie in the Cranberries top 10 , never mind  in a top 10 Irish

Youngster?

Or geriatric?   

Into The Mystic at 69, 16 places below the 1990 Irish team World Cup song!

My Lovely Horse must be in the top 10. 

Kvaratskhelia again, what a player

My favourite world player. Pure class.

The power and the dip he got on that shot he scored for the fourth!

There's two oil tankers burning in the Gulf today after Iranian attacks. Crude oil is up again today.

I know 30% of the US population are Trump boot lickers, but surely even they won't buy him "declaring" victory?

Couldn't see another thread, but let me know if I missed it...

Donegal V Down confirmed for O'Donnell Park.

Should be some scramble for tickets!

McCumhaill Park is closed as they're redoing the pitch.

Thankfully we've started to win the odd game in Letterkenny these past few years!

Feel terrible for the keeper.

I don't.

He's the worst goalkeeper I've ever seen at Spurs (some accolade). Has not one single attribute that marks him out as a top flight keeper. And to top that his concentration is abysmal.

He'll be able to retire when his contract is up. And then maybe find something he's good at to do with the rest of his life.

FFS he's a 22 year old young lad. Human. With pride and feelings. Just fucked up on a massive stage, probably the biggest game of his life so far. I don't care how much money he's making, he's surely someone hoping to succeed at the highest level ans he's just blown a huge opportunity in an extremely public manner.

He has a guaranteed contract of about £7m.

Personally I find it impossible to have empathy / sympathy for anyone in this situation.

The life they're so lucky to lead isn't "human".

Yet his peers are all in the exact same boat. He has to go into work today. He's probably the pride of his extended family and his community of origin.

Just because you're lucky enough and gifted enough to excel in a field that brings fame and money doesn't mean that human feelings and needs and social pressures and work responsibilities just disappear.

Yes, to a point. But the reality is he is a highly paid elite sportsman. At every level of every sport there is an expectation of a basic performance level. Have an off day, especially in the CL knockouts, and you wil be hauled ashore.

Has Tudor not a work responsibility to the other 10 players and the broader club too?

I didn't say anything about Tudor or his decision in this case.

So at what age can you criticise an experienced player for taking a shit with his clothes on?

Where did I say you can't criticise him?

I said I felt really sorry for him.

Saw bits of the first half. Liverpool's press had Galatasaray all over the place for the first five minutes, but sure enough they score on their attack as everyone is ball watching from a corner. Osihmen missed a free header soon after. Listened to most of the second half and it didn't sound great either in terms of defending or attacking.

Even if they get through with a good home performance (far from a given), they're going out once they meet a good team.

[If only they'd have been more ruthless during World War Two]

Israel will not stop until Iran and whoever else in that area they feel is not on their side.

The West Bank, followed by Lebanon Jordan Syria and eventually Iran

This thing is never going to stop

If only they'd have been more ruthless during World War Two

You ok Milltown?

Finished Hamnet there. Very artsy kind of film which wouldn't usually be my cup of tea but it's very good.

As has been said the acting is phenomenal but there's just something powerful about it. It'll be hit or miss for a few here but I really enjoyed it and can see why Buckley is favourite for the Oscar she deserves it!

Just watched it this weekend. Loved it.

Buckley and Mescal were amazing, but the overall film was very moving. Especially if you're a parent.

Been some good films this year after years of shite.

Recently enjoyed Song Sung Blue as well, to follow on from Sinners, One Battle After Another and Begonia.

Glad to hear Ballhopper!

How the hell did VAR take two minutes to decide the second goal? Salah was clearly, at worst, in line with the ball.
