What's he done now?

I disagree on Healy tbh - i know he's not popular on here but even guys like Loughman would be a better option at this point. I'd back Casey or Blade over Murray at this point too. Just to be very clear here - it's not a case as to is Healy better than X, Y or Z, but that nobody is definitevely bet...

Disappointed to lose at the end obviously. But, you know what, maybe it's no harm at all. Plenty of lessons there that we won't learn winning games by 10 or 15 points. Would rather have learned them while sneaking a win, but thems the breaks. We didn't do enough today. - Murray and O'Mahony are fin...

Nervous now.

I just felt that this was more of a branding exercise to change archaic language but I didn’t see much by way of positive impact it would have had outside of “vibes”. Constitutions have archaic language in them, it’s embarrassing but part of the deal of working off an old document of founding princ...

Sooooo....everyone was aware of this already?

No.

It's just been admitted the plans are wrong. Opening the door to who knows what consequences.

They’ve already lodged amendments on this. What is it that you think was funny when people found out? I don't want to be too specific, but that Journal article hints at the problem. Yes we all know the problem but if you go to the Railway Order you can see they’ve already dealt with it. https://www...

Yes. You do realise that design work on the alignment for Metrolink commenced in 2017, and the surveys would have been a relatively early process tying in with the 2018/2019 geotechnical investigations; and the buildings surveyed were the buildings in situ at the time. The application for a railway...

Not this? https://www.thejournal.ie/tii-will-dig-metrolink-tunnels-deeper-in-dublin-city-centre-6316640-Mar2024/ Metrolink representatives said that the damage reports remained valid. They did not confirm if the demolished buildings had been used when drawing up the reports. One wonders how much mo...

I think you'll find that they surveyed the building that was there at the time, AJ. Ah Cam, you're not that naive. I'm sure you read the paragraph I highlighted by quoting. They'll need to discreetly find a way to fix whatever oversights - or undersights - they've made. Being only able to survey wh...

It's a worrying sign of my age that I thought she was much hotter than Zendaya, who is deadly too.

Only just! :lol: Ah no, hardly anybody gets murdered tragically! :lol: Gurney gets to kill Rabban, himself. In the books he just gets told that Rabbani died in the attack.. And Alia kills the Baron, not Paul. And then a lot of weird psychic birth stuff kicks in iirc. I wonder how they'll handy Shan...

The standard in Super Rugby was never wildly higher than in NH rugby. He's a decent 10 who Wales never properly used.

It's a complete waste of time beyond the Junior Cert to force people to "learn" it (nothing is learned beyond Junior Cert unless you want to put yourself through Honours Irish). It would put the cat amongst the pigeons though for many if it was "degraded". I'm not bothered either way but could you ...

South Africa can't claim Duhan anymore. Nobody even knew him when he left. He obviously benefited massively from the coaching he received so Scotland should take the credit for making him into an international, so I wish him all the best and it's great to see him doing so well.

Would have been very straightforward for the FAI. Why would anybody believe they'd lie?

Scotland's pathways within Scotland are poor but Scotland's knowledge of its diaspora is second to none.

Oh 100%, but that's far less sustainable.

It's strange no one has dug into it when you think a high enough % of Irish players going to England seem to pass through a small enough set of clubs, Home Farm and St Kevins etc. Ah I'm not sure people like those sort of issues. Also, presumably most of it is spent on the clubs. I just wonder why ...

He is running for an MEP seat to solve the (checks notes) Irish housing crisis. Grifter. This. 100% this. Only one thing better than the academic gravy train (if you can get tenure), that's the Euro-POL one. Eh, even with your caveat, that's not reflective of reality. I agree with you up to a point...

anonymous_joe

There's money involved too. A 15 year old going to England is worth a lot less than an 18 year old who merits it, but for a junior club, that can make a difference. It's a numbers game too though. All underage clubs retain a right to a % of future transfers of players they've developed, afaik. So i...

It'd be years and years. There is zero (honest) administrative talent within the FAI generally to call on, imo. The Champagne Football book makes it pretty clear not many within the FAI really had much issue with Delaney. I'm not sure how one goes about reforming an inherently dishonest organisatio...

How long would that ban be? They shouldn't be getting a cent of funding until they sort themselves and if it's a few years in the wilderness that is needed in order for there to be meaningful change, then burn it.

A few match thoughts: The not great Henshaw was much poorer than the earlier rounds. We must have gone back to the world cup lineout calls :uhoh: . And we really missed Keenan adding a bit of pace from the back. I thought Doris pretty quiet. He seems to either be the best player on the park or a bi...

It's a problem for the person owning the house who can't use the house as they wish, within reason. All for decent notice for long term tenants but no ability to get your house back at all other than under narrow conditions? Don't rent it out, then. The idea of the temporary lease while you go abro...

For new tenancies yes and with some very limited exceptions. You shouldn't be in the housing game if you're not in it for the long haul. Housing isn't just any commodity. Its what makes renting for life possible in large parts of the continent. And that's fine for people who chose to enter the rent...
