I've been keeping track of the Irish League Premiership this season: every result, the table after each round, and a few numbers I find interesting.
If that sounds like your sort of thing, you'd be very welcome to hit follow @GibsonStats.

A brief, slightly cheeky history of counting football.
1890: the Irish League kicks off, a week before Scotland's. The same season, a Milford goalkeeper invents the penalty.
Which stat would you have counted first?

Talent of the Day - Rhys Brennan
Age: 20
Club: Linfield (on loan from Bohemians)
Position: LW / RW
Strengths: Pace, Dribbling, Directness, Chance Creation and Composure
Foot: Right
The Inchicore native burst onto the scene with a stoppage-time winner for Bohs against Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght in April 2025, coming off the bench with his side 2-0 down.
Bohemians have done an exceptional job of managing his development, with a loan at Cobh Ramblers followed by a season-long move to Linfield this summer.
Already capped by Ireland at U19 level, I wouldn't be shocked to see him starring for Bohs in the Premier Division next season, or out on loan in the top flight with someone like Drogheda or a Cork City.

Tonight, we are all Mjällby 🇸🇪. #Battlefor50th
@Conf_League League Phase Matchday Two. 5:45pm kickoff.
Iberia 1999 🇬🇪 🆚 Mjällby 🇸🇪.
Remember: There will be a Euro Playoff at the end of the 26/27 NIFL season and 4 places in Europe next season, 27/28.
Any result for the Georgians tonight would cost Northern Ireland a place in the 28/29 European season.
Iberia 1999’s other games:
MD3 Copenhagen 🇩🇰 🛫
MD4 Getafe 🇪🇸 🏠
MD5 Red Star 🇷🇸 🏠
MD6 Jablonec 🇨🇿 🛫

Linfield are two points off the top. Win at Portadown on Friday (BBC Sport NI) and they go top, before Coleraine play Crusaders on Saturday.
How many points do Linfield take from Portadown?

⚽️Duncan Ferguson will become the 5⃣th former @Everton player to become manager of @Glentoran
The previous four are
David Reid - 1934
James McIntosh 1948-1951
Alex Young - 1968
Tommy Jackson - 1987 -1993
Cliftonville 1-2 Portadown. 📊
@cliftonvillefc had 18 shots to 8, and lost.
Cliftonville: Sixth league defeat in a row⚠️
@Portadownfc : First away league win of the season.
Fair result?
Friday night, lights on. ⚡
@larnefc v @ColeraineFC — live on BBC Sport NI. Larne are the last unbeaten side in the league.
The GIBSON model makes Larne 44% to win (an estimate, not a tip).
Who takes it?

Tonight, we are all Sint-Truiden 🇧🇪.
#Battlefor50th
@Conf_League League Phase Matchday One.
Sint-Truiden 🇧🇪 v Iberia 1999 🇬🇪.
Any result for the Georgians would drop Northern Ireland to 51st in the 2026/27 UEFA rankings, removing the need for a Euro playoff in next season’s domestic campaign, as we would have only three teams competing in Europe in the 2028/29 season..
