Box Office Oireachtas, Parish Pump Politics, Klopp’s Nostalgia
Did you hear the one about the CEO who jokingly asked for cash in lieu of holidays, had the nuance of the gag missed by the Finance Director and was accidentally paid more than the allowable salary agreed under the state bailout, leading to the President of the association openly doubting confidence him in from of a government committee? It may sound insane.. but this is the FAI we’re talking about.
Meanwhile, breaking news around the redevelopment plan of Belfast’s Casement Park ahead of the 2028 Euros had us asking questions into the actual usefulness of the project as well as the geopolitics at play.

Liverpool came back to destroy Luton last night, are top of the league and have the League Cup final to come this weekend, but they won’t be on their f’in perch for long, if Man United’s new owners are as good as their word.#bigsirjim #fergie #fkinperchhttps://t.co/LLctrufhpN pic.twitter.com/B29jYla34G
