Out now on Think For Yourself is "After Hours: Beneath The Rubble Of The World Cup Fun and Games". The highs and lows of the tournament were there to be enjoyed and to frustrate, and there's nothing wrong with that. But now that it's nearly all over, do step back and realise

The level of xenophobia and racism by Israelis towards Ireland tells you everything you need to know about them. It isn't just Palestinians, Lebanese, Iranians, Syrians and Yemenis they hate to the point of evil. It's anyone who dares tell them they cannot do what they want.

A Palestinian state isn't some reward. It's a right. It's their country.

Pep Guardiola wants League Cup scrapped. Pep Guardiola wants FA Cup replays scrapped. Pep Guardiola wants... Does Pep Guardiola realise there's actually hundreds of football clubs not rolling in blood money who live for and are often funded by such occasions. Smug elitism.

Not only was VAR not in position under guidelines to tell ref to look at monitor for Kane penalty, it also neglected to rewind two seconds to show Saka handballing it into his path. I really don't think pros looking at TV can be that incompetent. Stinks. #england #netherlands

As we speak the west is... 1. Collapsing Ukraine. 2. Backing Israeli genocide. 3. All in on al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria. 4. Trying to start a civil war in Georgia. 5. Engaged in a coup in Romania.

Benjamin Netanyahu has an international arrest warrant. He fled to Greece to cheer murder. Why isn't he arrested? Greece signed up to the convention on international law. If law is selective, for who? Can I rob, batter, worse? If not why not? The EU ditched law.

They drew with Denmark, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland having been played off park, and the arrogance back. Lineker ear to ear, Ferdinand on about what nation was waiting for, Richards on about courage. England were scutter. Again. The delusion and arrogance in mediocrity.

Good fucking riddance and don't come back. Rare I'm proud to be Irish but that we have shunned these parasites is wonderful.

People are now telling me it was never suggested the vaccine was about transmission, but personal protection, and that there was never a push about getting it to protect others. Have I gone completely mad? Did I dream 2021 and 2022?

So far Ukraine has won the Nobel peace prize, the Eurovision, launched a World Cup bid, had its leader live at Glastonbury, the Emmys, the Cannes Film Festival and doing model shoots for Vogue, has been paid hundreds of billions, and yet people flee en masse. Odd war, this.

If the crowd were doing this because he was black rather than Irish there'd be repercussions. Some xenophobia is sadly still fair game.
