Remember when we used to all do Honest Opinions on Facebook and you’d get someone you didn’t really know so you’d just start stating facts. “You’re in my year, good mates with Sean. Think I saw you eating a chicken fillet roll once”
Restaurants - I promise you that I don’t want to have to cut my pizza myself. I am a little boy and you have a pizza cutter in the back, do it for me please.
When I was in the Gaeltacht in Galway when I was 14, me and the girl I was seeing had a fairly upsetting break up and I had wrote a full remix to California King Bed called Connemara King Bed and I was about 1 second away from puttting it on Facebook
If a commentator ever says "Ah you hate to see this sort of thing", 9 times out of 10 it is, in fact, something that everyone wants to see. Players fighting, managers having a row, disrespectful celebrations. All class.
Beckham sold his soul to Qatar already, but it’s understandable to feel disappointed in Neville. After all, he cried for three weeks about the prospect of the Super League. Where was this energy in The Overlap? He must have left it on the flight to Qatar.
Zoey 101 really sold me a dream about what my college campus would look like. Instead I ended up on campus in Ballymun, at a college that was under construction for my whole time there, and its biggest selling point was chicken goujons.
Very sick of those small little ketchup sachets making a show of me in public. Too difficult to open a lot of the time. Sometimes I won’t even try and I’ll try convince myself I don’t like ketchup. But I do. I do like ketchup.
Lovely touch here in Tallaght. The first ever Irish women’s team giving the current team a guard of honour as they make their way on to the pitch. 50 years on and we’re going to a World Cup.
A decent weekend for the lads. Three tips. Three losses. If you followed their advice (as I’m sure loads of their young audience did), you’d be down 70 quid since Friday. The caption on all three posts? “Easy money”.
In utter awe of the guy in front of me on a 15-hour flight who watched Impractical Jokers for the ENTIRE thing. How much divilment and messing can one man consume?
Just saw Andrew Garfield speak beautifully to Stephen Colbert about grief. Colbert has a knack for getting moments of brilliance out of people when discussing death...
John David Washington says he would hide his father’s identity to get acting jobs on his own: “I used to lie, saying he was a construction worker or in jail.”
Hundreds of people have gathered at the Spire in Dublin to show solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, in light of the death of George Floyd. Also dozens of “End Direct Provision” signs visible.
Robbie Brady playing against Jeff Hendrick and Shane Long tonight in the Championship. If you told me they’d be facing off in a few years during Euro 2016, I’d have assumed it was in El Classico.
“If you played a drinking game that required you to take a shot every time Liam Brady said: ‘I don’t know much about the lad’, you’d end up in hospital.”
Brentford are set to sign Nathan Collins on permanent deal from Wolves — done and here we go. 🐝

Medical already booked, as called by Sky Sports.
Fee will be around £23m for the centre back.
What was my personal highlight of 2018? Probably the bit at the end of The Greatest Showman where Zac Efron excitedly takes the baton from Hugh Jackman and you know that the circus is in good hands.
Some thoughts on Kenny and Ireland (would write an article but I’m on the beach in Spain 😅). He 100% deserves to try and qualify us for Euro 2024. We have been terrible for almost my entire life. Terrible football played by average players, all of whom were ALWAYS over 25.
I sat through three Premier League football matches this weekend, and took notes on every gambling advert that appeared on my screen. There was loads. I felt quite sick, and wrote this.
The FAI should be implementing a four-year plan to make sure we qualify for the Euros we’re hosting, and we don’t disgrace ourselves when we get there. Instead they’re too busy making a balls of sponsorships and struggling to even hire any manager. A constant disgrace.
We were hammering a team one time but just couldn’t score. 0-0 with a few mins left and he goes to me “get yourself into the box son you might win a penalty”. Don’t need to tell you what happened next!
Live weather report from Dalymount Park! 🎥☀️🌧📺
Let's hope the weather picks up for tomorrow night's Dublin Derby!

If we’re doing another lockdown then I may as well watch Normal People from the start again. Maybe this time Connell won’t leave. Maybe this time he’ll stay.
When Son went down, the whole crowd went silent. Kane went over and helped him back up before he rejoined the next run to cheers. Now Kane, Son, Tanganga, Bissouma have all dropped out of the last set of runs. Troy Parrott probably the fittest and was leading the final run.
Absolutely love this Ireland team and love what Stephen Kenny is doing. He’s brilliant. That Armenia loss is such a shame, we’d be in a great spot in this group if we’d won that.
Some personal news! 🤢
Finishing up with JOE this week, four years after I first started. I’m so grateful for the opportunities I was given, and have loads of good memories. I got to write about The Palace on multiple occasions. For money! Madness. It’s been a crazy ride.
