Not sure I'm too onboard with protest leaders saying the public should ring them for permission to get around blockades etc if they have hospital appointments? What right have they to allow or deny the public travel like? Yeah, I'm not ok with that mentality.

Saw an interview with one of the protest leaders - asked basic questions such as what are you hoping for and 'is a cap a red line issue for you' and he couldn't answer. Didn't want to give out the 'wrong vibes'. I support protest action in general but surely you have to know what your demands are?!

Wedding anniversary today, not looking too shabby after all these years! #speirgorm

Am once again huddled around the radiator feckin frozen, but at least I have one of my favourites to entertain me! #speirgorm #bukes

The meat is coming along anyway! (Yes, the lamb is overcooked, I'm the only one who will eat it rare so had to yield to the masses! Smells good though!) #EasterDinner #speirgorm

Just the few potatoes for tomorrow's Easter dinner. Just a couple. You won't even feel them going down, you wouldn't even know you were eating them. #speirgorm #TellMeYouAreIrishWithoutTellingMe

And one for #spéirgorm fans

Can't get over how much 1971 Gilbert O'Sullivan looks like a lad from 2026

So do we actually have to play Denmark now like? What's the point? I vote we just go on the lash instead, who's going to stop us? #coybig

Didn’t want to be happy for a few moments anyway

Am going to have to ride my husband tonight, to make up for this. #coybig

Wouldn't have wanted to go to the World Cup anyway, while that orange lunatic is in charge. Yeah, that's it. Didn't want to go anyway. Fuck ICE! #coybig

If Ireland doesn't qualify for the World Cup it will be because we are pure of heart and moral, and not that we aren't that good

It's the hope that kills ya. Every time. #coybig

Balls. Big hairy Czech balls. #coybig

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo #coybig

Jesus fucking Christ!!! #coybig TORTURE, I'm telling you, pure bloody torture.

YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!! #coybig

Yes #coybig

This is torture #coybig

NO! #coybig

YES! #coybig

NO! #coybig

Yes! #coybig

Blow the fucking whistle #coybig

Come on with the corner, come on! #coybig

He took some knock there, poor lad #coybig

Irish people aren't built for this level of stress. Our national motto is 'Ah, be grand'. We're not made for extra fucking time. #coybig

Starting to think that we didn't mourn Jack Charlton ENOUGH as a nation when he died. We must have pissed him off somehow that he's not up there having a word with the Almighty, surely? #coybig

In fairness they must be wrecked. I'm wrecked just pacing this kitchen. Fair play all the same #coybig

Is there anything to be said for another Mass? #coybig

A nation holds its goolies #coybig

Ah that was a decent tackle, to be fair like #coybig

Thank god for that because a dodgy hand ball ruining our World Cup chances once again would be too on the nose

Can you die of 'Ahhhh heyor!'? Asking for a nation. #coybig

This is my fault. I bought face paint for St Patrick's Day and said 'Sure it'll do for the World Cup as well'. I jinxed it, I'm sorry. #coybig

Paging St Milburga 📞 #COYBIG

So remind me, what's this now - do we have to play the full 30 minutes or is a golden goal situation? #coybig

Who's the patron saint of Parrotts? 🦜 #COYBIG

Just put me in the grave now lads. There's no point. #coybig

Holy God's a Brit, pass it on #coybig

Bollox #coybig

I have one hell of a migraine brewing, I've already had to tape an eyemask to my right eye to block the blinding light and I've an almighty puke on the way, but I'm going to hold it til the final whistle cos I'm dedicated like that. #coybig

If we qualify, I've promised to name my firstborn Heimir. My wife's not thrilled by this. She says "He's seven, and he already has a name". #COYBIG

As he giveth, so he taketh away. Ireland will win tonight, but it'll rain at every wedding in Ireland for a year. Are we happy enough to accept that, yeah? As a nation? #COYBIG #CZEIRL

The whole of Ireland for the next 45 minutes #coybig #speirgorm

The Czech number 10 is a fine figure of a man, isn't he? I'M JUST SAYING! I'm patriotic an' all but I'm not dead! #coybig

Looks a bit chilly there in Prague now. I say we call it at half time, hey? Gotta be mindful of our weak Irish chests, asthmatics the lot of them. 45 minutes in enough sports for anybody. We'll leave it there so? #coybig #speirgorm

What's a normal heart rate for a human? Is it 196 bpm, is it? Just wondering, no pressure #speirgorm #coybig
