to be fair it wouldn't have been hard to look sharper than Marty Moore on Sunday :lol:

Re: NAMA NAMA NAMA

It beggars belief what they have done here. This will go down in European Commission history as one of the stupidest things a member state has ever done. It is complete madness. When Leo piled in the writing was on the wall. I've given him the benefit of the doubt but he is a populist idiot. They a...

Re: NAMA NAMA NAMA

Which leads to the question why ? If the virus is in the wild in Ireland, which it is, have those susceptible to its worst effects mostly got it already; or has the virus subtly changed so that it doesn't affect people so badly ? Infection control for the most vulnerable has possibly worked as inte...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Surely it's as obvious as the nose on your face that constant expansion of a tournament with ridiculous conference systems just doesn't work? Super Rugby absolutely fucked themselves in constant pursuit of expansion. Just because a "product" works, doesn't mean that it'll continue to work...

Good article on cancel culture from the Economist The new ideology of race America’s problem with racism can be divided into two parts. One contains all the myriad injustices that still blight African-American lives a century and a half after the end of slavery. The other is the way that factions o...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

wonder could they do 2 leagues with a promotion/relegation.

Am I right that some Shinner idiot has put his hands up for the same offence ?....... I was wondering why they were so quiet on this. you would hope that being the main opposition party for the next few years will allow some of the skeletons to come out of the closet/bodies to come out of the bog (...

Re: Irishers- Roll call

Long time lurkers must state their province, their views on PoM and Stockdale playing for Ireland, whether or not Devin Toner has been stealing a living in a green jersey, and whether Ulster were right to fire Paddy and Olding. Just so the rest of us know what we are dealing with 👍 Ulster Internati...

Is Una Mullally a full on Shinner now or is she more PBP? A full on Shinner who's entire world begins and ends on Twitter. Irish journos/commentators need to get off that platform . Only 30% of the pop have an account and less than half of that would be considered active. It is not a true reflectio...

I doubt she's fussy.
"Didn’t the country vote for meaningful change? Weren’t most people desperate for something new? And now we have . . . this?" seems to be more on message with the Shinners

anyone read Una's latest whiney whinge in the IT yesterday? You could almost hear the salty teardrops hitting the keyboard over the unfairness of a functioning democracy. The standard of journalism in Ireland at the moment is shockingly bad. Which one are you from the old bored? long time lurker
