North or South, they do love a good fleg

ts people wanting better and politicians looking like the give a fùck.

I'm not sure you can say that. There are politicians being voted in who werent trusted to sit on a council a few months ago. One fucker was going on holidays during the campaign.

Boxcar Ira

Calm heads needed lads Look at the exit poll numbers They've 43% of their members that favour tax cuts over spending (the same as FG) They are supported by the young but are Eurosceptic They can't hold this together. This is a Corbyn 2016 moment. The problem is playing for enough time for the tide ...

Boxcar Ira

They're definitely much looser than they were under Gatland. They would just smother us in the past and devour our carriers. Much more passive in defence this weekend. Which was nice.

Boxcar Ira

I definitely would though

Oh don't know about that. Timmy has never been as popular as he thinks he was in Clare

Clearly not!

Timmy Dooley appears to have lost out to another no name. One of the good guys lost there.

Good riddance to her

This is inevitable.

Boxcar Ira

It's all emotion, tweets and meme's. SF have the machine to control that so forget political analysis. What do you think is best for the country long term? I was attempting to have a debate with some otherwise sane people who would be anti-FF/FG and voted SF. All I got back were memes, photoshopped...

Boxcar Ira

In my heart of hearts I think I won't be a FF voter or member by the end of the month. If a deal is done I'll vote Fine Gael 1 & 2 and leave it at that. That's extremely sad :( I could see FF TD's splitting now. Those who will sit with SF and those who wont. That would be great for Mary Lou. FF bea...

Who says people will change their vote when told the facts? People vote with their emotions nowadays rather than their brain. Well this is the thing isnt it? If Brexit and Trump has though us anything, it's that populist voters will double down in the face of looking like they've done the wrong thi...

Boxcar Ira

The people have spoken shite is doing my head in. 75% of the voters didn't vote for them. They'll have fewer seats than FF and, barring some transfer disasters, FG (just!). They were the biggest party in only 14 out of 39 constituencies, mainly focused in urban areas. FF and FG will make up nearly ...

Boxcar Ira

So the Saturday option looks to have been a complete disaster. Definitely didn't mobilise the middle classes. I'm ashamed of my constituents, you've 15 hours to get to the polling stations, it takes 2 minutes to vote. Anyway, SF and FF will dance around each other but both know it'll harm them if t...

Boxcar Ira

As long as the ban comes in before the inevitable 5 star nonsense, I'll be happy to jump on the Celtic bandwagon

Boxcar Ira

Anyway - back to more positive developments from the weekend. Might be our last Six Nations win before Rugby is banned

Boxcar Ira

RTE are fúcking incredible. Telling us for years FF and FG are the same. Without missing a beat they are now saying the same about FF and SF. I actually feel unwell. I just heard them say that on morning Ireland - something to the effect of "the main problem with FF and SF has been differentiating ...

Boxcar Ira

Tactically it’s a good move by FG. They can claim they inherited a economic mess and turned it around (not everybody will agree that it help them personally) and the place all went to shit after they were forced to leave. Sit back and play without the ball for a while until the other parties turn o...

Boxcar Ira

The worrying thing about that is SF still have a paramilitary wing. Twitter propaganda. The handle says it all

Boxcar Ira

. Sounds like they are going the Corbyn free everything method of gaining youth popularity. Lots of parallels, for sure. You see the likes of Owen Jones rowing in behind Sinners. Huge paralels except our underbelly are lefties as opposed to righties What this about Fine Gael being literal fascists?...

Seeing where all these SF transfers go will be interesting.

In the country they seem to be going FF actually. City will be other assorted lefties. FF might be ok

Is Mary Lou going to insist on being the Taoiseach?

She should in fairness. Why not?

Boxcar Ira

Another confidence and supply would ensure 60 seats for SF next time out I'd say. Best just get them in now Yep lesser of two evils. Shutting them out now would just feed the myth that it’s them against the establishment. Let them have a few ministries and they can shit the bed like the rest of the...

Boxcar Ira

Two positives I guess are Ross getting dumped and the fortunes of Gemma OD and her likes

Best thing that can happen now is they go in to coalition with FF. I think they're too smart and too big though to get screwed over the way many others have.

But throw them at health and housing and see how they get on

He was taking fantastic lines and playing with his head up. Wales couldn't handle him in the first half

Boxcar Ira

Was saying the same myself earlier in the week and thought it was going to be the optimum partnership going in the world cup before Henshaw got injured.

It just seems to work even though you think it shouldn't!

Boxcar Ira

Much better performance especially in attack, alot more variety. Both wingers got plenty of ball, Conway was excellent as was Henshaw before going off early. Pack alot better this week, Herring has been very good and nice to see some added pace ball in hand. JDV is a machine and fair play to CJ who...

Boxcar Ira

Got to be happy with that. The most comfortable 10 point win in a long time. With a bit more accuracy we could have had another haul of tries.

Tough one up next we'll have to improve another notch or two

Furlong did get it together in the second half. Wouldnt be as worried about him. Clearly not in his 2018 form but still the best we have.
