Re: Stop voting for fucking Tories

Local councils are prepping for November elections (I think the second week)

Tories working to line up their book deals (and Indian deal), and hoping for positive vibes after summer, Olympics, and who knows, perhaps a reduction in (mortgage) rates.

Re: Not Heineken Cup 23/24

Leinster must be very good, seeing the level of English whining here.

(Though the feed into the scrum was very sideways)

Re: 6 Nations round 5 - Ireland v Scotland

Fair dues Scotland, great defence.

Well done Ireland for holding on, but the team and performances regressed badly over recent weeks.

I never want to see Murray in an Ireland shirt again.

He should pay extra for being responsible for serving up this shite.

He's always happy to make excuses, but this team is poorly selected and poorly prepared. That's his fault.

Re: Stop voting for fucking Tories

Tory MP just said on BBC politics show that she'd have Lee Anderson back if he apologises.

If it takes 3 days to apologise, perhaps it's not very sincere...

Then she has a go about Labour in Rochdale, where Labour did act. Pretty dense.

Missed 2 touchline conversions. Bossed the rest of the game when he was at 10. Harry Byrne was a step down when he came on.
No need to get defensive.
He played well, but his kicking wasn't good. One of the kicks was not that difficult.

Ah bugger, he's so important to us as a secondary playmaker. I would imagine JOB , Nash and Stockdale are the main pretenders at the moment. Wish Balacoune would rediscover some form.
