Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but these days there's fúck all chance of a bunch of young lads progressing from jamming about in a garage with drums and guitars, to selling out stadiums. We're not going to see another Oasis or Nirvana or even bands made up of/by previously established pros...

Read the book and watched the film, both excellent. :thumbup: His demise was avoidable, and there was an element of arrogance and naivety on his part to think he could survive the wilds of Alaska without due research and preparation, particularly the lack of Plan B in the (likely) event of becoming ...

The only reason young people should have got vaccinated is to protect people with comorbidities, that's the only reason. Seeing as there have been documented cases of young people receiving injuries after a vaccination I think they should be free to make a choice what they do. See, I do agree with ...

There are 28 pages whinging about his content. His "content" is misinformation and dangerous? Like what? Fat lads over fifty, who haven't done a single pull-up or run over 1km in the last twenty years, and eat about 5,000 calories of processed shít every day, refusing to get vaccinated because 'Joe...

If Keenan was just trundling slowly into contact or kicking the leather off it every time he got the ball, we could call him ‘boring’ or ‘limited’. But he’s not. He’s got plenty of variation in his game - he has gas, he can beat players, pass accurately and creatively, and hit clever support lines -...

Well done Nordies; fantastic stuff, especially considering ye were missing Henderson, Stockdale, etc. Hume is some player, Lowry is brave as fúck; thought Herring was excellent; great effort all round.

Enjoy

That was fücking magnificent. I’m 37. I remember watching Ireland in the nineties. I remember drawing 6-6 with Scotland, and wooden spoons, and Argentina. Even when we were ‘good’ in the 2000s, being fücking annihilated by the All Blacks, every single fúcking time. The battering in 2005. Heartbreak ...

Spite: Ireland is a superior nation to Japan in the following metrics: - Lower prevalence of squid porn and/or scat-vomit videos - Guinness, Wicklow Wolf, Porterhouse, Whiplash, Kinnegar >>> Asahi, Sapporo and other crappy rice beers - Roast beef/lamb/venison dinner >>> irradiated fish and bits of w...

Eh? No we fcuking don’t. There’s very few concrete rules when it comes to developing young players in Irish rugby, but one of them is absolutely; If you have a scrum half who might be good enough to play international rugby, DONT TRY TO PICK HIM SOMEWHERE ELSE. There might be a brief post-Sexton ga...

Evening all. Genuine, contentious question - is it plausible to think that Ben Healy might end up winning more Irish caps than Harry Byrne? And I ask this as a Leinsterman. Byrne may have a touch of the Hanrahans about him. Lovely footballer, but uncomfortable with his place-kicking (though the emer...

Alan McLoughlin has died. 54. He'll always be remembered for Windsor Park. I'll never forget that game. Some goal and it got us to the world cup As I remember, the thing that got the Republic to the WC was Michael Laudrup being hacked down in Spain with an open goal at his mercy. Penalty missed, De...

Covid suffering lurker here, Day Nine of symptoms. Presumably got it from my father while I was giving him a lift to the supermarket. God only knows where he got it, because he's been very careful.

You can buy a latte in Wexford, can’t you? As a Wexfordman, I’m happy to confirm that we do indeed have lattes. Only in the civilised parts of the county, though. They recently tried introducing coffee to the savages of Bunclody and New Ross, but the Bewleys rep was burned at the stake for sorcery....

This is like watching us under Deccie from 2012-3. But at least then we had BOD, POC, SOB, Ferris, Heaslip, Bowe, Kearney, all Test Lions. This is just fùcking depressing all round.

Down on the Upside still confuses me to this day. I never fully got my head around it. I like good chunks of it, probably the lesser known tracks, but it just doesn’t seem to work as a total listen. True, it's not very cohesive, but there are some lovely tracks on it. Zero Chance and Overfloater wo...

Love Alice in Chains. While Facelift still carried the stench of cock-rock, Dirt was incredible; a stark account of a descent into addiction; a window into madness. It’s heavy and dark (Them Bones, Dam That River, Junkhead), but capable of incredible melody and gentleness (Down in a Hole, Rooster). ...

As someone who has lurked on both, this is a far superior forum; more balanced, pleasant, mature and civil. F365 is like a more verbose version of a YouTube comments section.

I do three runs a week, usually about 100-120km a month when I get into a good routine. Fastest 5km is 21:58, 10k is 45:53, half-marathon is 1:47:07. Longest distance I've done is 30km and it nearly killed me, so I've got a bit to go before I tackle a full marathon. I use Asics runners, nothing too ...

Lucky players: Murray - Not been great at international level for a year or so now and Cooney behind him is in the form of his life and winning plaudits across Europe.

BOD has a point about no dog in this Irish team. It's all a bit smooth, a bit too much about "rugby", a bit D4, bit bland, no aggression. No hard bastards, no Quinlan, no Brennan, no POC, no Ferris, no Clohessy. I'm sure we are all very proud of our low card count, but where are the fighting Irish?...

We should just put out the Leinster team for Ireland, along with Conway. See what coulda been. Too many WC chokers. Farrell needs to set a new standard of picking form players who are good enough.
