If that was to be allowed happen I would see teams pull out completely of the world cup. FIFA cannot let that happen tho honestly it would beautiful to see FIFA **** it up and get told but national federations to get fucked.
Nothing like an election in 4 weeks in a country that saw Russian Tanks on the streets of its capital being dosed by molotov cocktails in living memery to scare a wannaby straight. Thank goodness for Democracy.
I got my tickets replaced for a voucher yesterday by the Cork Opera House for Royal Moscow Ballet, Swan Lake.
Christ, you have such an infantile perspective on this.
You can don the tipp for a few days, we won't mind!
The Germans really need to move beyond their timid repentance for their past sins. Their soft touch approach to Russia has played a part in leading to this situation.
Right, but this doesn't wash when Russian's start increasing the use of artillery and thermobaric weapons against the general populace, we are already seeing very worrying incidents. We are on the third day of a full invasion of Ukraine, the invading soldiers can't hide behind the pretense of "we don't know what's going on" much longer.
If FIFA/UEFA award a walkover to Russia there would be outrage and it would backfire massively. I'll expect this will force them to take action. Fair play to the Polish team.
There's also a Russian consulate in Limerick? We're more important than some might think so.
Estonia just banned Russian airlines from it's airspace, hopefully more countries join in
They can be, it depends on the circumstances. fighting in the streets, no way. But in the suburb's and villages, yes. And of course, it will all depend on 'available to sell. Street markets are big in that part of the world, especially agricultural produce.
You'd probably find it easier to fly the Tipp colours!
Right now, the leader of the free world isn't in Washington DC, Paris, London or Brussels. He's in Kyiv and his name Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky. He's carrying the torch right now.
To the political left, you've spent your lives saying you're opposed to fascism. Well here it is, the day has arrived, and you have your fascist to oppose. He sits in the Kremlin directing a war of national extinction against the Ukrainian people's desire to live in a free democratic country. Make your choice and make your stand.
Apologies if it’s been posted before but why did 4 Irish MEPs vote against a motion censuring Russia for aggression against Ukraine? Wallace,Daly,Flanagan and some Sinn Fein I can’t remember
See Wallace called for NATO disbandment yesterday, Putin would love that, a clear shot at the Baltics and Poland
I don't know, but someone needs to investigate their finances and associates.
Polish TVN is showing QR 24/7 code "How to support Ukraine?" pointing to: https://tvn24.pl/najnowsze/jak-pomoc-ukrainie-i-ukraincom-po-ataku-rosji-lista-organizacji-5612779?source=qr
It's in Polish, so just go for the link. Some of them are for Polish organizations helping Ukraine and the section staring with "Lista ukraińskich organizacji przyjmujących wsparcie finansowe" is for Ukrainian organisations. Some of the servers are overloaded or under attack.

I don't know about Paypal, but there is some information here: https://bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-spetsrahunok-dlya-zboru-koshtiv-na-potrebi-armiyi
Because they are tools. Ming had the good sense to admit he made a mistake and said he shouldn't have voted against it. Still a serious blot on his copybook.
The Sky news reporter covering the civilians making the Molotov Cocktails admitted he couldn't interview anyone because it was too likely they would swear. Ironic that they are covering a war yet afraid to broadcast a bit of bad language.
I was hoping a few windows would open and rifles pop out
Didn’t want to offend the snow flakes and curtain twitcher’s
Ukraine need to be accepted into the EU and more importantly NATO after this. Whatever technicalities are stopping it should be overcome. This cannot be allowed happen again. Hearing the likes of Paul Murphy and Brid Smith giving out about the expansion of NATO would leave you scratching your head. What planet are they on..??
Is their anyway to get Wallace, Daley et al empeached? They are nothing short of a national discrace.
I just hope the country remembers this at the next European elections and use the ballot box to show Comrade Wallace what they think of him and his buddies.
Paul Murphy should be given a shovel and sent cleaning out road side ditches for a few months. He is as thick as one anyway.
Poland's move there is similar to Vettel's statement on the Russian F1 race. It forces FIFA to act now and they only have on choice left, to boot Russia out.
What about the right?
I understand where you are coming from, no right thinking individual wants to see a fellow human being shredded in circumstances like these, but these are soldiers, and most likely Spetznaz, front line shock troops, and if so, these are not your ordinary conscripts. TBH, I'd be much more concerned about what these soldiers would do had they landed and and got in amongst the population.
No it was in articles several years ago when they were renovating the premises and it was noted that it was an unusually large Embassy campus for a country of Ireland's size.
It was muted then that it was an intelligence gathering station. It's well past time to deal with it.
