If only more pundits had the courage to say it like it really is. Women's football has made great strides and needs further promotion but there's no point in pretending it's of significant importance to your average Premier League fan.

Watching #MUFC is like watching a French art house film where there's no discernable plot, nothing really happens (apart from an unexplained death halfway through), and the characters mumble and moan quietly to one another until it ends with a tearful sex scene.

So rare to see common sense applied in our justice system. A slight bit of faith restored.

Voter turnout in Wexford was 61.6% significantly lower than 2020 (66.9%), 2016 (65.9%), and 2011 (68.7%), albeit this is the first election since the north of the county was paired with south Wicklow. #GeneralElection24 #WexfordCount

Mick Wallace eliminated in Wexford on the eighth count. Down to the last six here with James Browne (FF), Johnny Mythen (SF), and George Lawlor (LAB) still on course to be elected - hopefully by early evening. #GeneralElection24 #WexfordCount

@marieloub Some of the lads think FG but I'm not so sure, tbh they'll probably be spread among a few candidates but it's not going to make any difference to the final outcome.

@marieloub Reckon a lot will go to Mick Wallace, maybe Jim Codd, any of the non-government candidates.
