If only there was a person whose job it was to motivate, organise and set up the team. Almost like someone who was managing the players…

Liverpool need a kick up the arse. Not figuratively. A literal Bishop Brennan boot for each and every one of them.

In all seriousness though, every week I see people criticizing the players, their efforts or performances. At what point do you start to wonder if it’s a systemic issue, and that maybe the manager is the problem? Lots of people like to say they’re letting him down, I think he’s letting them down.

I’m not 100% convinced Farrell will still be in charge of Ireland come the next World Cup. Italy are a fantastic team that keeps getting better, so I’m not trying to take anything away from them… but I just don’t see the plan with Ireland right now, and that’s the worrying thing.

I think I’m over Farrell at this point.

Paddy McCarthy gets his first start for Ireland. Sam Prendergast in at 10. Mack Hansen back from injury, first Test start at fullback. Caelan Doris moves to openside. Stuart McCloskey back at 12. Cian Prendergast and Nick Timoney on the bench.

Have a lot of time for Mo Salah not even bothering to turn up for the Ballon D’Or last night. He will go down as one of the top 2 or 3 PL players ever, and his legacy will only grow with time. Those who don’t appreciate him now, will when he’s no longer playing.

Between Rees-Mogg deciding that a PM change should trigger a general election, to MAGA supporters deciding cancel culture is good and free speech bad… I’m starting to think right wingers are a tad hypocritical. No actual principles - just ‘we do what we want… and you do what we want, too’

I genuinely believe one of the biggest issues the left have at the moment is holding themselves to too high a standard. Don’t engage in the hypocrisy, but call it out. Call out the nonsense and the inconsistencies. Call out the bullshit, and don’t worry about accusations of ‘point scoring’

I’m not too worried about Liverpool or their form - but I would really like to see Slot pick the U21s on Saturday. Give the lads a rest, and going out in the 3rd round of the FA Cup wouldn’t be the worst thing for our season. #LFC

This team selection makes no sense to me. Choosing to build depth at 10 while ignoring it in every single other position. I hope Easterby is a bit more forward-thinking with his team selections in the 6 Nations, but I really have my doubts…

Cian Ó Muilleoir@rugbykino.bsky.social

@murraykinsella.bsky.social is reporting it, and Gerry's possibles are out, and both have Prendergast starting vs Australia. It's some indication of trust from Farrell, though I have to point out that it doesn't mean Crowley is out. This is just the player rotation people have clamoured for.

You are up to date.
