    I'm going to start posting primarily on Bluesky for obvious reasons. X is now so far away from from its Twitter origins and it's only getting worse... bsky.app/profile/modern…

    Some Argentines don't start drinking mate until they are adults but Wayne Rooney's 16-year-old son Kai is already addicted 🧉

    Argentine club Guillermo Brown de Puerto Madryn (not to be confused with Club Almirante Brown, who are in the same division) have a new Ireland-inspired shirt honouring Admiral William Brown's nation. Love the harp in the bottom corner 😍

    I know a few people who travelled to Argentina from Europe and were told by porteños in Buenos Aires not to go to Rosario because it's "too dangerous". Their loss. There are parts of Europe more intimidating than Rosario. A beautiful city with the best people.

    If you thought Alexis Mac Allister’s Irish connections were interesting, Rosario-born Tomás O’Connor has just scored on his debut in the Argentina Primera División.

    Leeds fan @PJH84 contacted me a few weeks ago wondering if I could help him & a group of mates to take out an advert in an Argentine newspaper so they could thank Marcelo Bielsa. I got to work with my friend @Nicolas_Bloch & this is today’s La Capital newspaper in Rosario:

    Italian football legend Gianluca Vialli will be fondly remembered here in Ireland by @theislesclg GAA club in Finglas whom he coached briefly in 2018.
