Oh the humanity!
Rice in hot water etc.
a sweet and sour moment for Rice.
When the chips are down etc …
He probably just said this to curry favour

Tedious stuff.
Respectfully disagree, I think it’s hilarious.
It is very tedious. The obsession with sport is a sign of an infantile nation

Oh there’s a shocker, a 15 year old says something stupid. Thanks be to Oden there was no social media when I was 15.
May Odin zap you for misspelling his name
Ha ha, I checked he’s cool with it, he once spelt my name Owen so we are even lol.
Thank Zeus someone got there before me.
Or camera phones
Or even the ones the didn’t require

I think trawling through social media is what passes for journalism nowadays. (Also they might have figured out a way to do it automatic like, and to pay special attention to anything that is later deleted.)
Why would that be “shocking”

Cue Irish Times pearl-clutching gammon uproar. Who cares?
Very obviously many people.
