Those mako eyes.

Girls rule. Hope she becomes an icon to further encourage women in engineering. It is a nice honorific to get a spotlight on national media like this. Well earned.

Probably why they don't teach us much beyond crusades and viking barbarian in school over here. It makes sense and all, was just never exposed to it.

And I totally don't capture enemy human goons in Palworld and sell them to the black market trader. That would be inhumane...

Curb your enthusiasm theme starts playing.

If Sheerhan bent because of who owns him then who 'owns' the Ireland national team?

Ireland Football is owned by the Football Association of Ireland

David Courell is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), a position he assumed on a permanent basis in October 2024 after serving as Interim CEO since April of that year. Originally from Castlebar, County Mayo , Courell previously held roles as Chief Operating Officer at the FAI and Head of Business Management at the English Football Association, with extensive experience in Olympic and Paralympic sports administration.

His tenure has been marked by efforts to address the FAI’s €35 million debt and improve the national team's performance, which he noted makes Ireland the third most under-performing UEFA nation. Recently, Courell has faced significant scrutiny and player unrest regarding the decision to proceed with international fixtures against Israel in September 2026, a stance he defended as necessary to avoid sporting sanctions for Irish football.

FAI boss believes Israel games leave him in a lose-lose situation: ‘I have to do my job’

But UEFA and FIFA! And FIFA has made a lot of change and I know the vast majority of Ireland is against this. I am very empathetic to this. Please don't riot.

Europe is taking the blunt of America's foreign policy. Screwed by the war in Ukkkraine that the US set up and provoked while Ukkkraine seeks to be another Pissreal.

Screwed by the war in Iran because of actual Pissreal.

Most Euros are too Cold War brained to realize it.

Love coins that tell story. The condition of them, where they are found, how people used them at the time, details about the society.

Would never have never thought of Arab-Viking trade.

Holy Monty Python skit

https://montypython.fandom.com/wiki/The_Fish-Slapping_Dance

Two soldiers in Safari outfits and pith helmets are standing on a lock. The first soldier (Michael Palin) dances up to the second soldier (John Cleese) and slaps him several times with two small pilchards as light-hearted music plays. Eventually, the first soldier stops. The second soldier calmly produces a large halibut and whacks the first soldier in the face with it, knocking him into the water.

An animation by Terry Gilliam follows where the first soldier is eaten by a Nazi fish and then by a British fish and then finally, by a Chinese fish.

Ireland's goal keeper withdrawals from match.

Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has withdrawn from the squad ahead of the UEFA Nations League match against Israel.

In a statement posted to Instagram, Mr Bazunu wrote:

“I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle; therefore, I feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel,” Mr Bazunu said.

“My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.

“It is important to note that my stance is not in opposition to the Israeli people or the Jewish community but against the atrocities in the region.”

The match is still scheduled to go ahead, but Irish players will reportedly refuse to shake hands before kick-off.
