Good times are back! There's an All Ireland for sure in this squad. Might not be this year, but that was a real character building exercise yesterday.

Boxcar Ira

Yeah I cant imagine there would be a great scramble to go after NPHET. Their goal was to keep down deaths and hospital occupancy and that's what they have done. The opposition certainly wont go after them.

Let's go Horsies

I firmly believe that nothing good is going to come out of this. When it is all done and dusted everyone will just go back to normal. It will be forgotten about. (once the media start to focus on something else) It might have been good for the work from home brigade but otherwise i dont see anythin...

Boxcar Ira

Thanks, dad. Means a lot. :thumbup: Lots of international tourists in the southwest. I can't understand how businesses down there coped over the last 16 months. Great to see things getting back up to speed. At least they had domestic tourists. Spare a thought for Dublin hotels and B&Bs, little dome...

Ah mid-30's so!

What age are you guys? Mid-30's?

Why are the NI vaccine numbers so poor in comparison to the rest of the UK? They are on 82% vs. 88% in England, and I suspect a couple of percent of that is southerners heading north to get one. Higher % of fundie god botherers perhaps. But also probably has a lot to do with the "roguish" nature of...

The new Liz O'Donnell

She is.

Why isn’t Varadkar under pressure? I couldn’t have been more wrong about his electability, FG have polled well on occasion but not done it at the ballot box. Martin should be well gone but wants to hang on so he can get his visit to the White House. Conroy not getting her expenses back…how can the ...

Boxcar Ira

Absolutely. I almost voted for her myself and only voted for Geoghegan because he was FG. He turned out to be very weak. O'Connell would have got the mummies out and obviously the da's. No one was going to get excited enough about Geoghegan to leave their summer homes in Wexford to come back up and ...

Boxcar Ira

I think FG losing this seat to labour is good. Time to get the finger out before the general election and stop pissing off the youth. Only positive spin that can be put on it. Might be a kick in the nuts for them. Geoghan was obviously a bad choice from day 1. I think you need a big personality for...

Boxcar Ira

There's probably a huge trade-off between being an astute coach who never played at a high level and being a former world class player with limited coaching skills. You would need a mix of both in the training staff I'd imagine.

Wahey! Now there's a delta plus variant about which Tony can be gravely concerned. As long as I can fly in October, I won't fully lose my shit. They can fúck off about indoor dining, though. I'd say you'll be the last person in Ireland to get the dose Nols. Literally the very last. I'll get my 3rd ...

France would have been favourites to beat us , but they’re not amongst the elite of the game . SA, Fiji , NZ , Aus, UK and US would the leading teams at the Olympics I’d say . Not sure we’ve ever beaten Fiji or NZ ? We beat NZ in 1973. No idea if we've ever met Fiji. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1...

7s woohooo https://img2.thejournal.ie/inline/1839690/original/?width=469&version=1839690 This means a lot to those of us who have been on the bandwagon since this morning. I’m off now to delete all my historic posts slagging off 7’s The purest form of the game is what I have always said :thumbup:

Team 41 just got their appointments.

Thursday

Boxcar Ira

Yeah he is a retard. It would be far better if he was in charge for enough time to do the party real damage. Donaldson is far more capable and Wilson has that man of the people / populist thing down to a tee. They'll be thriving again in no time. Depends on whether or not you think playing the anti...

plus it says 390Million was collected so majority of that is capital anyway ; the headline makes no sense by calling it 390million in "income" if that is simply the amount of cash collected ; its tabloid journalism - there probably is a story in there if they bothered their arse figuring it out ; t...

No Hume is really surprising too

And where is Luke McGrath these days? Is he injured or just really fallen down the order?

POM is obviously better craic to have around in the squad

Boxcar Ira

That's a nice squad. Has the potential to play some entertaining rugby.

Boxcar Ira

I put my money on the Netherlands much to the guffaws of my friends so I was happy to see them play well.

They probably wont go all the way as they clearly need 10 chances to score one and they wont have that luxury against better organized teams

Boxcar Ira

Good to see. Enjoy it lads. Lovely evening for it.

The Golden Ball brings back memories. Best pub grub in south Dublin before the Celtic Tiger introduced us to chips in a bucket and steak on a stone.

Got my V Croatia tix for Sunday 8) Going with my Anglo Irish chum who supports Ireland in rugby but England in football (Man U fan of course). I’m in the small minority of people who like both sports. Presume irishers are supporting anyone but England ? This English team are quite likeable. I'll pr...

Same with the Leinster match tonight. 1,200 people turning up and being spread out around the stadium. You're more at danger of catching Covid in Penneys than you are at the match later. :roll: No alcohol either. This is so cringe, nothing to be learned here. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E3k64paXMAA...

What is the statement that individuals are typically making now in the minutes silence before each match? "We disapprove of racism"? Yes - I think it is pretty obvious what they are trying to say. It is also pretty obvious why it is being performed by sports stars with a global reach as opposed to ...
