Wow!!

Did that just shoot itself?

nah, it couldn't even do that right,
There is a clip from another angle in the responses below which shows it missed by a couple of hundred metres.

Is it just a sign of growing old to think the jersey gets worse every year?

Some fecker is on €100k a year to produce that.

Is that the shirt the FAI used for the 2002 WC?
It certainly looks like sloppy 2nds.

Reading today how the UK is strugging to deport one of the Rochdale peadophilies who got a 13 year old pregnant thanks to his lawyers. He's arguing he's a role model for his community whose tell children what's right or wrong..... He seems to be arguing he is a role model for his son. I don't see a...

Every year the train companies increase rail fares by a government imposed formula which produces a higher than inflation % raise. No matter what, when the benefitting party does not spread it around, the equilibrium will be upset. The government are screwing rail passengers, and are now trying to s...

As she sends another 1 billion to Russia (and again tomorrow, the day after etc).
What are the Russians going to spend this money on?

Bombs and food.

Who is selling? ie sanction busting?

Is Porter @ LH working? It seems that he was getting seriously found out in the latter half of the season. Can it be fixed? Should Ireland mix it up a bit in the front row, and pair Furlong with Loughman? Maybe for the Maori game pair up Healy and Porter, with them swapping sides after every few scr...

From the IT By John O'Sullivan Sat Jun 18 2022 - 01:00 Ireland under-20 head coach Richie Murphy is fully versed with the transient nature of age-grade squads in personnel terms, but he still might have allowed himself a wry smile when it emerged that two thirds of his Grand Slam winning ‘starters’ ...

They deem Rwanda safe even for babies. :thumbup: Safer than Libya. Any other ideas why they did not take them into their own country? It wasn’t their only choice of destination, most of Europe is closer to Libya ..... it’s been deemed safe. So you are implying UNHCR runs UK's asylum policies, (or s...

"UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, on Tuesday evening evacuated a group of 119 vulnerable asylum seekers out of Libya to safety in Rwanda. The group of men, women, and children – the youngest less than one year old – were from Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, and Somalia. Most had been living in urban area...

Clearly the UN doesn't have problem with refugees being sent to Rwanda, in fact it facilitates and funds it. ahem In August 2020, UNHCR began facilitating the voluntary repatriation of Burundian refugees, and by December 2021, nearly 30,000 refugees had returned to Burundi.

I note that the Cheetahs have taken over a spot that was previously given to East Europe. (Russian teams generally).
They are not accredited to any of the major leagues, so the question of what happens re the HEC qualification next year if they win is still open.

Leinster in London

Too many soccer attitudes floating around. ie leagues are for making money, and "the league" is the most important thing about the sport. Dump those, and look at the reasons the league were established. Now try to assess whether successful or not. Ireland: kept players in the country, and allowed a ...

I guess the rebuttal would be why would it be the UK's responsibility to protect the single market when we left it. In theory it should be the EU charged with enforcing their own rules. I know the reality of NI doesn't allow for that clean break given the political situation but I can certainly see...

Does anyone else's stomach turn when the hear comments on the news like, "No 10 thinks this is an irresponsible action" (rail strike ?). "No 10 thinks it is time to get back to normal" (Boris win?).

So every best player is Irish or South African.
Ja even a Saffer in an Irish team.
It just seems so great a privilege for us Europeans to have all these SA superstars in our competition.
Thank you

Hmmm, I wonder will that be a dream team, or a nightmare team in 72 hours time?

It's very clear saffers are doing all in their power to get into the 6n. Clubs first, now the u20s. Im ok with the clubs as the opposition to the Irish teams is so weak we need them. They need to be stopped at all costs from entering the 6n however. I fear the cvc capital or whatever they are calle...

Another q for the thread, anyone ever booked coaches for large groups? We have our wedding in the midlands/slane area and for Canadians going over we'd like to help them out. Given the expense of renting cars (particularly automatics) is it feasible to get a coach sorted out/rented or is that a rid...

Otherwise fairly much as I expected.
Furlong could probably do with a bit of time off tbh.

My thought too. Easiest match over the next few weeks to rest up.

Very unlikly to happen, but who's place in the HEC would Cheetah's take if they won the CC?
England and France would not let any of their spots go.
I would imagine that the URC would say that it has to remain an internal South African problem.

Pool A is a pool of death. Ireland has already beaten England and France this year, and also beaten Wales, Italy and Scotland.
