Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.

The story of Louth football is insane. Division 4 in 2021 and now back to back wins vs Dublin and Armagh Leinster champions last year and two All Ireland Quarter Finals in last three years. Everyone involved deserves massive credit

Incredible win for Louth 💪

Can’t wait 🥊

You can't hide genocide. Moving the game is not a step forward but a huge step backwards. On both legal and moral grounds we must not play Israel anywhere in the nations league. A clear majority of Irish people, supporters and players are against the game. #StopTheGame

No words 🥺 See you Friday 🇮🇪

What a performance from Louth 💪

Cameron Dummigan with one of the greatest volleys you'll ever see!🤩 Unfortunately for Derry, Gbemi Arubi put Dundalk back in front less than two minutes later.

Massive respect for Richie Sadlier. He’s spot on here #StopTheGame 🇵🇸

Athlone Town AFC are delighted to confirm the appointment of Lily Agg as Head Coach of the Women’s First Team on a long-term agreement. Full statement: athlonetownafc.ie/lily-agg/

Everyone needs to see this goal- absolute cracker 👏

Shocker from the ref here. Never a peno for Waterford. Sickener for Drogheda United at the very end. Awful decision.
