Still nothing to say then? TFK’s very own Hitler diaries, I can’t wait for this…
Fairly huge scandal evolving here today about widespread use oif banned substances across all sporting codes, links to criminals and possible match fixing. Sport is fucked…

Still no teasing out from that gnat balled cunt Tassoti of course…
forgot to post this article from last week. living the dream brigade in sydney hit the broadsheets - http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/lollipop-lasses-from-the-emerald-isle-stop-traffic-across-city-20130201-2dpxx.html]http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/lollipop-lasses-from-the-emerald-isle-stop-traffic-across-city-20130201-2dpxx.html
would you class oval ball games as sports though?
they have been harping on in the media and by gobshites on facebook about this picture here:

and how great it is with the mad Irish boys up on the sky scraper and sure how great they are and how it could only be Irish who would be as mad to do something like that.
Despite the fact being that it is doubtful if any of them are Irish. Typical though.
For any interested, its the BHP building in Perth city centre, overlooking the swan river and Kwinana freeway heading to South Perth/Como.
thought it was a photoshop effort myself and a piss take of this one
. construction workers in perth - there is a very high probability that there are quite a few Irish in the picture.
Why is it doubtful any of them are Irish? I know quite a few Irish construction workers in Perth.
no, it was pretty much debunked that there were very few, if any in it. It was an Australian riggers company, and the first picture of them was seen in April or so last year. Most irish in construction there are just on standard manual labour stuff, or else out in mines. I would highly doubt you would get that many riggers employed in Perth to be building the last stages of a skyscraper.
You seem highly doubtful but have yet to really debunk this picture to any large degree. Your summation is no worse than the FB people to are believing what is spooned to them.
Being aware of Gman’s extensive experience of the construction industry in Australia and in particular Perth, I’m going to side with him on this one.
Nevermind
Fran knows the score.
This is the internet MBB. I could tell you my brother was one of the lads on it, and it wouldnt be true, but how would anyone know.
I have asked the person who told me there was fuck all, if any Irish on it to prove it and he asked me how the fuck can I do that without taking a picture of every lad on it with their passport. Just said that they only let the guys who were there from the start, and the most experienced back up for the photo at the end. Best he said he could do was send this - http://www.cfmeu.asn.au/news/recreating-history-perths-c2-riggers-celebrate-a-fantastic-job]http://www.cfmeu.asn.au/news/recreating-history-perths-c2-riggers-celebrate-a-fantastic-job and this http://www.cfmeu.asn.au/your-union/photo-galleries/our-job/wa-c2-city-square-perth]http://www.cfmeu.asn.au/your-union/photo-galleries/our-job/wa-c2-city-square-perth but they are only talking to the main foreman of the rigging company and pictures of the rest of the shots taken that day.
I had asked him the question as so many here and on facebook were prattling on about it, and he found it amusing that we can claim things to be as they are with no proof at all, and I see your point, this is what I am doing. But as I said, the probability of 20 Irish workers being the last men involved with a rigging company on a project that lasted over 3 years building the highest skyscraper in Perth, IMO would be very, very low. There may have been a couple, maybe, but all this shit about us building the world is bullshit.
the only other thing I can do is send you an email and you can ask the man himself. but I doubt you are that petty and dont really give a shit that much! As I say, I just find it hilarious that everyone is photshopping their memes and crap on facebook about these great Irish lads, and its very doubtful if any of them are Irish. If you think they are, fair enough. I’ll still find it funny.
Alright gman, relax. It is just a picture
Wait a minute…
so there’s a chance?
“Mary, I desperately want to make love to a schoolboy”
ah its just typical of the living the dream crowd. if thats what makes people proud then so be it.

Rugby, marginally. Rugby league, no but it seems to be important to people here. AFL, of course.
Can’t believe there has been debate over a badly photoshopped photo here, calm down GMan.
Gman is some cunt.
