I used to enjoy watching him until I saw one episode where he was practicing throwing a stick so as to catch himself a rabbit. There were horses nearby, why didn't he just kill one of those, mucho mucho meat.

I agree so strongly with most of your post Lloyd. We should have absolutely buried Louth today. However, surely you must be able to see the huge improvement in so much of what Dublin are doing over the last 3 weeks.

I have no illusions about beating any of the big 3. I just can't see it happening. But I also believe that there have been a lot of positives to think about over the last few weeks.

Who have we played? Since we got blown out by Meath we've played:

- Tipperary to whom I mean no disrespect when I say they simply don't match up with what Dublin have to offer both athletically and technically;
- Armagh who are a bit beat up in a lot of respects and have a natural tactical approach that suits us to play against down to the ground;
- Louth who were mentally destroyed after the Meath injustice;

I do see improvement, particularly in terms of how the Half Back and Midfield lines are competing in the middle of the park. But the deficiencies we have in front of either set of goal posts are still plain to see, and have only been a non issue due to the paucity of the opposition we've faced.

All the elements to get blown out Meath / Kerry style before the end of this Championship are still very much there. The Brogan's and O'Gara are going to struggle against an athletic back three and simply don't convert a high enough percentage of their possession into scores to keep us ticking over against decent opposition. While the full back line is going to get ripped apart by any good bulk scorer. Even with Louth as poor as they were yesterday, they still achieved far too many easy scores / simple frees. There is just zero cutting edge where there needs to be.

Now, obviously all of this exists within a wider context of what can be reasonably expected given the talent level of this particular squad. I never expected us to win the Championship. But there is far too much talent there to be getting blown out in the manner of the Kerry / Meath games. I'm still for getting rid of Gilroy as of now. Right from the start of the league campaign the approach has been way off for me.

Thought the mass booing of Alan Brogan from the hill when he was taken off
was disgusting. The guy has been clearly struggling of late and was having a bit of a nightmare yesterday but he has been a great servant to the county over the years including two all stars seasons and certainly didn't deserve the that reaction from our ‘fans'. It's not like he was hiding out there either, his honesty of effort can't be questioned. Made me cringe I must admit!

For the most part the punters who embrace the Hill are a pack droolers of the highest order. The last time I was there I made a conscious decision to never go back after Matty Forde,who had scored about a a billion points to single handedly keep Wexford in the game was abused. They launched into some gruesome chant stolen straight from the some English football ground and lashed beer cans at him. Scumminess. It really really annoys me that the hill seem to have some wierd pride in being witty. No your not you shower of pikeys.

Well yes, obviously while I don't think O'Gara or AB are up to it I would never contend it is because of a lack of effort on their parts. BB frustrates me a helluva lot more than the other two ever would.

From the Waterford Masters thread, deserves to be seen in the BBV.

Waterford's Darren Reilly won the €170 side event last night. At about 5am the last 3 players did a deal agreeing to pay Darren the full first place amount and chop second and third between the other 2 players and play on for the trophy

The hand after the deal was made saw one players bust out. The other player then said he didnt want the trophy and that was the end of the side event! lolsideeventaments

I want that man to represent me in my next pay review with my boss.

Was that Darren that used have something to do with Aces before BigSlick took over.

Cliff notes?

This idiot who I haven't seen since about 1992 but am 'friends' with on fb created this xenophobic page called 'employ Irish' with all the usual ignorant 'I'm not racist but...' shite on it.

I emailed him (I didn't know for sure who he was until afterwards) telling him how much of a retard he was and he posted my email on the page, got lots of abuse from his fellow droolers.
I then had an email spat with him which ended with him saying 'yeah yer sister'

I linked to the page here and urged people to report it for incitement to hatred and facebook deleted it the next day.

Not sure what othyer stuff was on page but saying employ irish is hardly incitement of hatred is it? there may ahve been more things said
It seems one cant have any sort of debate on the immigration issue without bena bigot, racist xenophobe etc.
Ive heard many stories here about taxi drivers giving out about dub taxi drivers complaining about foreigners etc,never heard a story of and bad things happening with foreigners
ive had non national drivers taxi men taking wrong routes giving wrong change always not enough
had my fair share of irish gimp drivers too
i think as our economy continues to suffer that xenophobia will only increase unfortunately

Mick, saying 'Employ Irish' by itself on a platform such as fb is inciting hatred imo. There was a lot more to it than that anyway, but I would consider that statement by itself xenophobic.

Quite likely because people who have a problem with immigrants are ignorant, bigoted, racist xenophobes. This page was no debate!

Did the GAA not include the full time rule in the championship this year?

The half-time and full-time whistle will not be blown until the ball has gone out of play to avoid the controversy which arises when play is brought to a halt while a team is attacking

If they did - this is worse than the meath/louth decision - ref seem to take the easy way out there at the end, heard one of the rte panel mention it but just others just joked about it.

Yes it is Mick. 'Fluent English speakers only' however isn't.

I don't think it's sexist, there's plenty of legitimate reasons why you would prefer one sex over the other living with you. Absolutely no legitimate reason for refusing someone based on their skin colour or country of origin.

i had a nigerian taxi driver tell me all americans are stupid one night i told him my grandfather was american and most nigerians are crooks and scammers did that make me racist?

Yes, both of you.

Well cultural differences can be pretty big in fairness.
If i lived with a muslim guy say and i had my dog in the house he might be offended as dogs are seen as unclean.
I prefer living with irish people even if i have a german and russian house mate at the minute
they prefer to stay in there room and watch tv on pc maybe its me
i find id have more in common with an irish person than someone from abroad so theres a legitimate reason for ya



Yes, both of you.

I'm not so sure. If the only reason for choosing an Irish person over a foreigner was that they were Irish, then maybe there is grounds for argument. But if the manager says that the customers would rather be served by a local instead of a foreigner, or a similar reason, than I think this is fair enough. This is something I have come across in rural areas.

[The C Kid]

I don't think it's racist to have an employ Irish campaign, in theory I agree with it. I think that during these tough times then it's certainly a responsibility for all of us to try and do what we can to benefit the economy, rather than just lie around giving out about the incompetency of bankers, government and the like. I certainly think employers should make an effort to employ Irish if everything else is equal, unfortunately this rarely is. My parents employ about a hundred people through their business and generally try to employ who is best for the position, but if everything was equal would try and employ Irish to ensure their place within the community, and further local relationships as well as the obvious benefits of ensuring their wages go back into the Irish economy.

While thats fine in theory, the sad fact however is that we as a nation have had it so easy and have a very poor work ethic, (I'm including myself in this before anyone points out the hypocrisy of someone who sits at home watching sport going on about this),probably due to having it too easy for a while. Some of the stories that my father has told me about people who he has interviewed would make you cry, Irish people seem to view work as some kind of favour you are performing for your employer rather than the other way round. He'd certainly like to employ Irish people, but the sad fact is that there's not much point when you can employ someone with similar qualifications but is actually grateful for a job, and who certainly work equally as hard.

[tipp86]

Yeah, he was partners with Duncan when they opened.

He struck me as someone who could pull that deal off.

Pretty sickened i wasnt in croker for that was all set to go until i got out of the car after driving home from waterford and could hardly walk. Didnt think car, luas and a walk from o connel street was the best idea.

Think Tipp was the slightly better team. I really dont think that there will be much between them and Waterford. Kilkenny will beat Cork and id fancy them to win again in the final whoever they play.

[LuckyLloyd]

I don't agree with all of SICKPUPPY's posts, but I certainly find his direct take on things refreshing. I think people are far too inclined to leave no wiggle room from the accepted "PC" standard on everything.

[LuckyLloyd]

Oh wow! 40 posts in and I am face palming hard.

This is an absolute gem:

Ok, is Dublin city Council, AKA Dublin Corporation, a Corporation ?

Of course, if we could prove the Gardai are a corporation there would be uproar !!

It takes a bit of common sense.

You don't pay road tax and you are stopped by the cops, they take you're car, then you go to court, then you get fined, possibly jailed. But they are not fining or jailing you, they do it to the "legal fiction entity" they have created for you, your birthcert. They can not do this to a free human being, so they create another entity. When you agreed to being that entity, you give them jurisdiction over you.

I think sickpuppys point is fine. I would prefer if i had a free room for it to be someone irish. I say that and i work with foreigners who i have great time for and are lovely people.

In saying that it would not be just foreigners it would have to be people in my rough age group and have some things in common with me.

My last post on the issue of cultural differences
4 years ago my 2 house mates got a chinese girl in the house i was not about basically i worked and lived in casino.
One mate had an asian fetish after travelling the other just wanted anyone in the house.

The girl was nice but had literally no english at all.

Was tough explaining stuff about bills tv licence normal stuff and her first time away from home she was clueless about cleaning etc.

She went back to china for 5 weeks and day before she left said my friend stay in my room for when im gone to my mates

ffs i said a complete stranger for 5 weeks no i said tried to explain that she could not just sublet her room despite paying rent i was called stupid irish something and she moved out when she came back

lived witha disaster of a french chick whod come home locked and leave grill on and set of fire alarm constantly
had a few fools of irish hosue mates through the years here and abroad
but these and other cultural differnces is why id prefer to live with irish people

My Dad's such a degen. He's in Tallaght hospital since last Wednesday, on Saturday he begged the nurses could he be let out for a few hours to go home.

They let him go with strict instructions to be back by the shift change at eight or the night nurses will be panicking over the empty bed.

He legged it over to Molloys to JP's game, chopped it three ways at 7.35 and was back in his bed at 7.50.

He's a header.

lol crazy people

[Lazare]

Whether you guys agree with Mick's point or find it refreshing doesn't take away from the fact that it's a xenophobic position.

The fact that you may show tolerance in other areas of your life (foreign colleagues etc...) doesn't change this fact.

Mick's position displays his 'fear' of foreigners, a fear that he won't get on with them as well as an Irish person, a fear that he won't have anything in common with them.

That fear, is xenophobia.
