I think the reporting of it is worse. The goal is described as the one that stopped Ireland from qualifying. Were Ireland dead certs to win if they hadn't scored? I can't remember the scoreline but I think it would have gone to penalties?

We would have won. All over them. Delaney sold us out for 5 mil. Could have made history as 33rd country in World Cup. Delaney out!

[Denny Crane]

Did anyone get a Philips Hue after we were taking about them before? Finding myself tempted again.

[Guest]

Lads stop trying to be all reasoned and pretending that Delaney done a nice bit of business. Hop on the bandwagon,don't be afraid to join the mob just because some of the people gunning for him write angry facebook posts about Henry's handball in capital letters 6 years later.
Getting him out would be a result and it's just not haters in Ireland who think this transaction stinks on both sides

Is there not value in Murray at 9/2 this afternoon?

I know Djokovic put Nadal away fairly handily the other day but surprised to see he was 1/5 vs Murray.

[oleras]

The fact they dont know if it is in euro or dollars says it all really.

He should have been replaced sacked last night when it came to light.

Typical Irish attitude...sure dont you have to admire his neck all the same...yeah...right...

Between him now and the schoolteacher running the country, shower of cowboys.

@ Tar, where would I get Fry's veggie mince or seitan. Typing seitan into Tesco results in 32 results for stain removers. And wheat gluten search isn't helping.

Just went onto the other place. On the front page there was a thread discussing the 2nd paper of the English Leaving Cert exam. I clicked on it to see what is on the curriculum these days. Within the first ten posts we have...

Just out of the exam now, definitely taught they were going to change it up a bit and give us a few shocks.

Taught that went very well

There's not too much seitanin ireland compared to...anywhere else.
Health food shops, best is probably Down to Earth on Georges street (they have lots of frys stuff), then nourish is dotted over the city. Holland & Barretts too. I generally get Seitan from nourish and fry it up, other countries do it a lot better but whatever.

Getting 5 Mil for fuck all if they can prove the spent it on Irish football isn't bad for Irish football.

[CHDad]

It is while he gets paid 360k per year.
It is while clubs in the League of Ireland pay 19k to enter the league and need to come 4th to make profit on that.
It is when grassroots football has seen sweet fuck all investment despite promises.
It is when clubs are let go bust and must start again unless they are from Dublin.

This shite is going on before the 5 million and after it.

One of many. Under the table and over it. Blatter gave every association a $750,000 a few months back to sweeten everyone before the elections.

[ArmaniJeans]

Are we the only ones that received bribes *from* FIFA?

Not at all, FIFA are a very generous organisation and shared their largesse with other football people around the world, which is how these executives continued to get voted back in time after time. Everyone down the line gets a cut.

As you said yourself he was receiving it before the 5 mill and after the 5 mill, those two issues are not connected.

They cut the LOI prize money in half and only 40k off his wages.

Don't get me wrong, the FAI are a shambles and Delaney's wages are a travesty. But do those criticising them for the 5m think Irish football would somehow have been better off by refusing it?

[Guest]

The John Delaney witchhunt is a bit similar to the DoB one in that there might not be a huge amount wrong with what they are currently being hammered for but it is richly deserved in both cases.

[CHDad]

In 2011

The total prize pot available to Premier Division clubs has been reduced from €700,000 last year to €223,500, while First Division clubs will play for €91,000 -- down from €161,000. This means a combined drop between the two divisions of €546,500.

The total pot now is about 250k.

Delaney took a 10% wage cut off his 400k a few years ago and has kept that wage since.

Pate mince and bacon WTF?

Whats so wrong with veggies that you want to eat pretend meat?

No matter how hard I try I remain utterly bewildered by the concepts behind veganism.

LOI clubs and grassroots football should be better for it, they aren't.

Irish football would also be better off if he took 160k off his yearly and put it towards the league and grassroots. He would still be over paid but Ireland would be better off. He's too greedy to even do that.

Most food I eat is not fake meat however...
Not eating meat has nothing got to do with the taste of it, I love the taste of meat. However I also have compassion for the animals involved so I do not eat them. I aim to reduce the amount of suffering I personally cause, that's about it. It's not taht I was jumping for joy to stop eating meat, quite the opposite at the time, it was hard for me but I felt it had to be done.
Fake meat helps those having trouble transition to a vegetarian/vegan diet as they are not used to it, I agree there are fantastic veg dishes, none of my favourite food now is anything "meaty". If you didn't eat meat because it hurts others would you still like the taste of it or a facsimile? Its not that it is meat...it's that its something that tastes nice with a chewy texture.
Anything that aids people along a path where they want others to suffer less is good in my eyes, we are only human after all and this stuff can be tough for us.

Feel like I should be getting too old to be excited about anything PC gaming-related these days, but I'm excited about this. SteamVR in particular. Love everything Valve have done since the masterpiece that was HL1 (although I'm sure I complained about Steam itself when it was released!).

Hmm. I admire the sentiment of wanting others to suffer less but TBH I feel like I would when presented with a devout catholic who, these days (it was different when I was a more arrogant kid) I really don't want to be knocking off their pedestal.
I'm going to feel like an awful bollix for making this cheap shot but IMO you have a seriously fucked up concept of what 'others' means and maybe you'd be better focussing the concept of what others are onto, for instance, the end users of the products you are creating.

Going to have to go to Tayto Park now to check out that roller-coaster,wooden ones are excellent. Assume it's extra dough on top of general admission

The experience of all the people using them seems to be great, oculus rift and so on too.

Nobody is on a pedestal, people act like vegans/vegetarians think they are better than others morally, when that is just bollocks, the whole point of it is the opposite, that people want to have compassion for others and that they realise that no matter how they live what they are doing is realistically harming others and it bothers them. This thought experiment would be a partial explanation as to why no vegan should think themselves better than anybody else https://vegansapiosexual.wordpress.c...aner-than-thou. As to what I create, I'm not sure if you think I create rockets but I create communications equipment, it is used worldwide for various reasons, yes it can be used to communicate "kill the arab children" but is also what is used in natural disasters, we essentially make phones. So the ethics of that is a totally different lengthy discussion. Obviously when people care for animals they care for humans, they are animals too...the US human right atrocities is harder under my recompense although I'll do my best to affect their policy from within.
Being a professional is certainly better than being a hippy, in effectiveness stakes: https://vegansapiosexual.wordpress.c...e-new-radical/

In the 00's i showed the girls in Admin how to covertly watch the first Big Brother house Online. For 2 years after, every work trip got booked into top notch hotels on the strength of it. Also got "accidentally" paid my redundancy sum twice, and when i rang to 'fess up one of the girls laughed and said to send a letter next week, cos they would all be gone by then and no one would ever open it

Heya MrsF! Originally, maybe a year ago I joined their forums (I think my ex found them on vegan Ireland), they had set up a little social forum thing back then for vegans, probably with the aim to create a community to sell their developing products to. I've met them both now and they seem quite nice. They started off with "gift boxes" of rare vegan things like toiletries and chocolates and moved to these meats now.
How do you know of them, they are very small and new? I think it's rarer for a non vegan to know them!
