Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

[Silver-Tiger]

Why on Earth would you open your window?

[Flushdraw]

Had a weird thing happen yesterday. Was sitting in traffic in Artane and this lad ran towards my van on the passenger side motioning for me to open the window. I opened it and he stuck his head in and real frantically goes 'have ye got €2?, gimme €2, need it for a bus, go on go on'

I told him I had no money and he starts telling me to check my pockets, told him to fuck off and he eventually did. Have to say I felt a little threatened by it, can only imagine how frightening it could be for a girl on her own in the car.

Should have gave him a lift m8

A former coworker told me that I really need to watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, that I would love it. I'm not a big fan of American comedies so would like independent verification. Is it any good?

Watched the first joke of the first episode, turned it off!

It had it's chance!

[Lazare]

Why on Earth would you open your window?

He didn't look like a junkie, I actually thought he had gotten out of a car ahead. Split second stuff too, you don't really think.

[The Situation]

Just quickly on Dylan Hartley.....

How can he get a reduction for pleading Guilty!!! It's not like the crime was alleged or not seen, it was a blatant strike with the forearm caught on multiple cameras. He should have got a meaningful punishment like missing the 6N or losing the England captaincy. This is nothing but a slap on the wrist.

I will lay 100/1 on PO'C coming out and saying he should still be Lions Captain if anyone wants it? Sitch?!

I don't care how "respected" he is, you can not have a captain that might lose the head when under the kosh and cost you a series. Alos, how can Seanie respect him in the pack?

.

Ah these lads have a beer after the game and get on with it, not as precious as some of the fans who like to over dramatise things.

O'Connell knows what he's like and basically said in other words that bit of cunt in him makes him the leader he is, so doubt his opinion would change after this latest episode, whether he'd vocalise that is unlikely, but I'll take 20 quid at 100's if you're offering?

They seem to get up to quite a bit more then having a beer

https://www.google.ie/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3863020/amp/England-rugby-star-James-Haskell-held-court-sexually-degrading-boat-trip-party.html?client=safari

"England rugby star James Haskell presided over a 'kangaroo court' during a party at which players allegedly took part in sexually degrading games in front of horrified riverboat staff.

Holding a whip and wearing a blonde wig and red dress, the then Wasps captain stood at a microphone during an end-of-season celebration on the Thames as team-mates performed 'disgusting' forfeits.
According to a staff member, a young player was humiliated with a beer bottle. Haskell has denied presiding over this incident."

Sounds like they'd fit in well at a certain Protestant boarding school!

[6starpool]

It's always Sunny is class, although I'm still only a few seasons into it. It's not really binge watching stuff like some other ones as it's so frantic most of the time, but it's really clever imo.

You see that's the thing, they don't have a beer after when there is an intentional shot to try and knock you out and take you out of the game.

Who do you play for? Thought you were more of a football man which I reasoned is why you thought this behavior was all good.

I didn't say it was all good, I just think the Irish media/fan reaction has been embarrassing and his Englishness has a lot to play in it even if people don't realise thats the reason for their hatred towards him. Also don't think it particularly affects his ability to captain sides now or in the future.

It's all about perception, to borrow a football example to further annoy you, Roy Keane was hero worshipped by fans and media in Ireland, he was a downright scumbag at times and probably served more bans than any player of my era, don't think anyone ever questioned his ability to captain a side, in fact probably seen as one of the greatest leaders.

Yeah maybe the Englishness feeds into it but we have no comparisons in the sport due to the fact he is the most banned high profile player by a country mile. The only person anywhere near him off the top of my head is Shalke Berger and he is another massive cunt.

I do agree a leader has to be on the edge and aggressive. In saying that, a captain can not be that much of a loose cannon that he might take himself out of the game with 20 mins to go with a blatant strike. It is too much of a risk and outweighs any good that he brings to the team.

Roy Keane was a scumbag alright but I don't think he ever does anything that blatant and obvious in a big game to take him out of the match.

LOL at referring to Hartley's Englishness

[eoghan104]

I knew that was coming. That's why I was sure to put in "Big Game".

He was born in Rotura New Zealand.
Has been banned for spitting head butting gouging and verbally abusing Wayne Barnes in a premiership final.
If he done that shit in civilian life he would hopefully be locked up.
Its very hard respect an opponent who tries to gouge your eyes out.

[Strewelpeter]

Pure marmite, so. I'll give it a go.

I can take it or leave it.
There are like 300 episodes and they are all the same so like Marmite its best to use occasionally and spread it thinly.

I know city didnt have filthy oil lucre to buy titles back then but never remember Manchester derby not being a big game? Who gets that wound up about scandinavians anyway?

[eoghan104]

Sigh...

OK let's not argue on what a big game is. To me a league game in the middle of 38 league games is not as big as one of 3 must win home fixtures in a knock out competition that is comparable to Champions League.

Also, I don't remember Keane being the most banned footballer of all time? Was he even close?

I don't think the two are comparable anyway but don't care that much.

Always found it strange back when Waterford Wedgewood was popular for very expensive wine glasses. They're objectively a terrible way to drink wine due to the thickness of the glass. Well never really got the whole Waterford Wedgewood thing at all really.

Bit like blaas, Waterford people are oddly proud of them.

Has anyone else noticed a change in attitude to P&F since posting the photos yesterday?

Before it was all "ha, well done riggs/CHD, too obvious though" or "Can we ban her for relentless annoying posts" etc. Now everyone being nice as pie in case the photo she put up is actually her!!

Pretty funny IMO!

People seem to be more rattled it's lottie or myself and they'll be "levelled"

Ought to be somewhat embarrassed about crying wolf all the time. Marks deducted for constantly being wrong.

Keane absolutely wouldn't have been respected as captain of a representative side of the premier league if such a thing existed.

I find it hard to believe that any of the Irish players would respect Hartley as captain and they'll make up a sizeable contingent of the travelling squad. That said Garland is a bit of a cunt too so peas in a pod and all that.

Starting prep for family trip to Portugal next week. Was thinking the 3 hour flight was going to be rough with the baby and vastly too restless bigger kid. Then see the train to the airport takes 4.5 hours (Beauvais). Then the 3+ hours in the airport due to train times and the usual airport nonsense. Not the best of starts to realise the painful 3 hour flight is actually the shortest part of the days travelling.

Where you going?

Somewhere near Faro. Albuferia I think it's called. Destination selected exclusively because of their desire to take care of at least the eldest kid for some of the day!

I saw 20 euro flights between lisbon and faro airport the other day. might be worth looking into taking two flights if the whole process is a lot easier.

Jordie Barrett won Mitre 10 player of the year and young new zealand player. I didn't do much with him coaching wise (just contact skills and some analysis) but shameless brag all the same.

It is a sad day when a gentleman who has been imbibing Yuletide beverages with his colleagues pitches up to the Aquarium with a desire to pit his wits against like-minded individuals only to find that no such opportunity exists, instead merely an invitation to compete against the wheel of steel.

Finally got round to watching The Walking Dead and just finished it up to the Mid season break that just happened.

I didn't really enjoy it at first, waaaay too gory in parts but from Season 4 (yes I gave it a good chance) I got more into it.

I still didn't find it as good as I thought I would the way people raved about it. I still much prefer The Blacklist, GoT and Westworld.

Inspired by Trump's convincing message that we must remove stiffling regulations to progress, we deregulated management of the advent calendar to the kid this year. Her tears this morning as she realised she had already opened all the windows and eaten all the sweets is perhaps a nice parable as we approach 2017 and the world's new adventure.

my little bollix opens his every morning and then tries to get another one off the other parent that evening by saying he didn't yet get his daily allowance.

I've my xmas party tonight so he could get a rude shock in the morning, when he goes to his calendar, ala bad santa

It's good fun at its best. At it's worst its incredibly boring with some pointless story arcs.

My favourite thing about the show at present is

SPOILER

Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan. He's a much better villain than the predecessors and plays it to perfection. He might not be the same as the comic book version but does a great job all the same.

I rang ahead and there was nothing happening, if they'd told me RDIII was skulking around I'd have been over in a heartbeat... his money is so much more fun for rubbing on titties.
