Big Leinster fan
Joe has always had kind words for Irish rugby.
Louth connections, I believe.

He's related to the Kearneys.

There's a lot of shit being written about Jan 6th. The mad thing is though, the actual history is probably contained here in this board. In the period between the election in November, and Jan 6th there was a lot of discussion about the legal and or semi legal manoeuvre's for Trump to retain the pre...

The Swastika was seen on laundry vans in Dublin from before WW1, up to nearly the end of the 80's. It was looked on by the founder of the laundry as an Indian good luck symbol. Somebody somewhere misappropriated it. I remember that. The Swastika laundry , based in Ballsbridge iirc. The British emba...

My favourite player to watch in a WC when I was young was Cruyff. I did see all the 1970 WC, but 1974 made a bigger impact. Judging it again, the difference between a Cruyff highlights tape, and the Pele one put up here would be that both were great dribblers, but Pele's runs seemed to result in a l...

Maradonna for his creativity.
While both could do anything with a ball, could Messi have come up with the Hand of God response in a press interview?

Where did you drag this marvel of disinformation up from?

I see in Northampton it shall be just above freezing at 1 tomorrow, and warming up as time goes on with a drizzle of rain falling.
I would imagine the ground will be slippy at the beginning, then getting muddier and muddier as the game goes on. Leinster would hate that, but it might suit Munster.

What jargon are you confused by? KPI? Really? Anyway all I’m saying is that a lot of these big firms appear to be focused on growing funds under management (FUM) rather then making good investments. Funds under management gives them great recurring management fees and it’s much easier to do that th...

Not sure it’s ‘being conned’ it’s more an urgency to put capital to work which seems to be the biggest KPI now, more so than risk adjusted returns . Plus if the market isn’t demanding the DD be done, then the dude responsible at say a Blackstone can justify not doing it to his IC. If they say no, t...

Thats a pretty huge and scary escalation of the war if accurate. It's not an escalation, Russia has literally no way to respond further.

From what I've seen he's the 3rd best after Messi and Maradona. In that order. Well there's a lot of ways of looking, but I see that Pele has more WC's than the other two combined.

I reckon Belarus are going to join the fight - there’s likely a tonne of mobiks in Belarus, so I expect those plus the Belarusian army to have another crack at Kyiv.

I got bored watching that Utube. So what is the corruption?

Huge choke by Ulster. Some great 2nd half performances from Leinster.

SA sides need to step it up a notch in Europe. The 3 big Irish provinces will raise the intensity significantly for a European match. These guys are a few levels above most of the Scottish/Welsh/Italian sides. Also much more physical than URC , particularly the French. And the English? Pussies
