Tonight, Croke Park makes history. For the first time ever, a club football match will be played at this extraordinary stadium, as United face Leeds in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 80,000. But anyone walking through the gates tonight should know something of the ground beneath their feet. On 21st November 1920, during Ireland's War of Independence, around 10,000 people gathered at Croke Park to watch Dublin play Tipperary in a Gaelic football match. Minutes after the game began, British Crown forces entered the ground. Then came an act of barbarism. They opened fire on players and spectators. People desperately tried to escape as bullets tore through the crowd. Some were shot. Others were crushed in the panic. Children were among the dead. In less than two minutes, 14 innocent people were killed and dozens more wounded. Tipperary footballer Michael Hogan was shot dead on the pitch. He was just 24 years old. The Hogan Stand carries his name to this day. Three children, Jerome O'Leary, William Robinson and John William Scott, aged just 10, 11 and 14, were also among those killed. It became known as Bloody Sunday, one of the darkest atrocities of the War of Independence. More than a century later, Croke Park remains far more than a sporting arena. It is a place woven into Irish history, identity and memory. And tonight another page is written. Two great rivals. More than 80,000 people. The first club football match ever staged at Croke Park. For those of us travelling to Jones' Road to watch United tonight, enjoy the occasion. But remember where you're standing. History lives in that ground. 🇮🇪

Scotland just lost 600 hectares of an ancient forest that has stood since the ice sheets melted 9,000 years ago. The Cairngorms wildfire is still burning after 12 days. Yes, this is happening right now.

Kylie Minogue marrying me, the Oscars giving Michael Flatley's Blackbird a retrospective Oscar and Wateford winning the Liam McCarthy Cup in 2027 are all things I now believe can happen. Thank you Mayo.

Joe Canning: “Last Saturday Donal Óg didn’t accept my point about the hype getting through to the Cork players. As these things do in the modern world, our exchange went viral on social media. He asked me how many All-Ireland medals I have. The answer is one, which is two less than him. We’ve been on The Sunday Game a lot together over the last couple of years and we have a very good relationship. Nothing about that changed on Saturday. But my medal collection or his medal collection had nothing to do with the match, or my point about the mentality of the Cork players. I have no doubt that Cork’s problem is in their minds.” irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-g…

Il y a trois jours, j’avais publié un message que j’ai finalement supprimé. Je le trouvais trop émotionnel, et pas assez solide face aux incertitudes sur l’intensité de cette troisième canicule. J’ai eu tort. Les modèles convergent désormais clairement vers une nouvelle canicule durable et exceptionnelle. Le scénario de juin 2026 se reproduit : une goutte froide au large du Maroc, une masse d’air brûlante remontant du sud, et un blocage sous un dôme de chaleur. Des températures supérieures à 40°C pendant plusieurs jours, correspondant à un niveau de vigilance rouge, sont à nouveau très probables sur un large quart sud-ouest. Copier-coller. Cette fois-ci, je ne veux plus masquer mon inquiétude. Ce qui se profile est une catastrophe pour nos écosystèmes. Dans un contexte de sécheresse déjà extrême, les impacts vont s’accumuler : mortalité, brûlures, avortement floral, arrêt de croissance, défaillance des cultures. On repart sur les mêmes bases qu’en juin. Et, très honnêtement, les bras m’en tombent.

Urban Vs rural debate. Don't fall for the Dublin trap. Cork is the bigger urban driver of economic activity. Pharma and Apple. Massive corporation tax revenue. We're all subsidised by Cork.

One of the best clips of the Klopp era (and never a foul). Robbo just embodied everything that was great about that Klopp side. Going to be shite not having him around.

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....
