That’s a balls, will fuck up the whole feeling of it.

The 2028 Olympics will also be shoehorned entirely into July (14th to 30th) to clash with the two All-Ireland finals.

Sarah Lavin is possibly the healthiest looking person I’ve seen in the flesh, she is absolutely radiant even though she’s plain enough looking,

I was in Abbotstown this year at a basketball event and that badminton player was practicing alone, just doing hundreds of serves where the shuttle barely cleared the net, and then moving onto the other side, I remember thinking that it’s the dedication required, insane stuff

Lucky Kev didn’t witness that.

RTE having Bernard Dunne on giving his expertise is an interesting choice.

The sister was on the Cark and Gillick podder (cc @Bandage and @gilgamboa) and is a thoroughly decent sort. Their back story is amazing. The father upping sticks with her and working 3 jobs here just to live and then the mother and young lad move over 2 years later.

She’s started and sold 2-3 businesses as well. She’s obviously an exceptional character but shows there’s no substitute for a good work ethic

This was completely bonkers and brilliant. No opening ceremony of anything ever will come close to London 2012.

Bernard is an alright sort.

There’s Zidane now and he should be out saving Girondins Bordeaux.

The message so far seems to be that public transport in Paris isn’t fit for purpose and that the city is full of rats. And crocodiles.

Nice hat tip to the IRA there.

Something not quite right with Macron’s hair

“Every vantage point taken up along the river.”

That’s sort of what you’d be worried about.

Lovely gentle banter between Greg and Darragh.

I’d say Darragh has a sheet of facts he’s going to shoehorn in

Greg Allen let the cat out of the bag there. Irelands two flag bearers are an athlete and a golfer.

No one bid for the 2028 Olympics. LA got it as both they and Paris bid for 2024 and the IOC were worried they’d have no bids for 2028

Second Captains use that last tune as an audiobed about the Mayo football team and I now have Martin Carney shouting “he’s stealing yards” in my head.

Argies on the bargies

Get back, get back

@Ralphie

Get back, get back

You’d hope the French police won’t have to shout that at anybody during this.

Would have been nice if they had The Beatles to play it on one of the rooftops, mind.
