Yesterday’s #Budget2027 announcement is a strong endorsement of the long-term plan and importantly, the hard work taking place across @LeagueofIreland of Academies.
There's a huge amount of hard work ahead but yesterday's announcement is another positive step forward. 🇮🇪⚽️

'It should also be noted that one of the Israeli journalists who was on hand to video his colleagues make accusations in the earlier press conference then acted as the official interpreter alongside Israel’s manager for their press conference'
A mad day.
Reality and fantasy collide.
Propaganda versus decency.
The police are called. They investigate Israeli claims of assault and dismiss them completely.
There is still a football match to be played.

Straight from the Trump playbook. Every accusation is a confession.
There was one credible complaint of racism last week - Israeli fans towards Adam Idah and James Abankwah. Strange that this would only come up now.
Ireland press conference in Serbia cut short after FAI shut down questions from Israeli media related to the flydubai hijack and then a racism allegation directed at an Irish player which has been strongly refuted by the FAI. Some angry scenes in the room and afterwards.

Was a bit surprised to see that was Troy’s 40th cap yesterday, but then you remember Stephen Kenny always had several teenagers in his XIs. This game feels like it was about 10 years ago!

Austria level. Two goals in five minutes. Liam Kitching coughing up possession for the first and Caoimhin Kelleher with the old 'not trusting the wall' side-step for the second
