Molde’s Aker Stadium is one of the most picturesque venues in Europe. A quiet place but it’s rare you walk out of a press exit to this…

What do these pictures of World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez taking a trip on the DART & picking up a hurl on a trip to Greystones have to do with the last time that Shamrock Rovers played a Premier League team in Europe? Have a piece on the person who links the 2 stories in tomorrow’s Sunday Indo

The Conference League moves out of Tallaght as the circus moves in and no that’s not an AGM reference

Mistakes happen in all forms of media but still pretty mad this map got into the Ireland match programme for the Wales game last night. The translation of Londonderry should perhaps have set off a few alarm bells.

Really like this stadium in Vienna. Compact 28k capacity with safe standing. Hardcore Rapid fans in early to sing the club anthem - 700 or so Rovers fans in the far left corner

Kudos to anyone who recognises this fella without scrolling in. Handy from 12 yards.

Heimir Hallgrimsson guest at PFA Ireland awards. Jokes that he wishes they had Drogheda United fans in Wembley to throw some flares on the pitch after the opening goal to delay the restart

Someone in FAI will now have to figure out if he should be fined for that joke

For Ireland fans curious about World Cup draw - the excellent football meets data site over in the other place has calculated seeding probabilities. Likely Ireland will be in four team group with draw on Dec 13. We’ll have confirmation on Tues night.

(In short: going to need a lot of luck in draw)
