There is a possibility albeit a slight one if FFG not having a majority of the seats between them.

Maturing reflection, as a nation, I’m talking 100 years on

He was like a cunt on the radio at lunchtime trying to talk down to some Shinner.

Midshipman_Asha · February 9, 2020, 2:45pm

I’ve heard a few people say only barely 80/81 between them

Can you imagine the devastation in newstalk with this election. Coleman was having a meltdown earlier.

Watchyourtoes · February 9, 2020, 2:47pm

81 the key number?

Lot of RTE/media people on to their accountants today… Hello Cayman islands

McDowell looking on puzzled there as Terri Prone talks about poverty.

Tomorrow might be the first day in years that I buy the Irish Independent, just to laugh at the cunts

I hope there is a montage with some titanic music in the background with all the leading figures of INM, RTE etc.

Watchyourtoes · February 9, 2020, 2:48pm

Nearer my God to thee.

Ryan Tubridy will be distraught, Gaybo cashed out he knew what was coming.

I kinda can’t believe it.

It feels like yesterday I was watching Michael Stone lobbing grenades at a funeral and the deaths of the two soldiers that drove into some of the funerals from those grenades was something that affected me as a young kid.
Then we had Omagh and it was like end of days type shit that you questioned what the Fuck was the point of life at all…

Here we sit, not even 25 years on from the GFA and the party is almost the establishment.

When you sit back and think of the changes in Irish society we have lived through, it’s nearly akin to the first 25 years of the 20th century minus the violence.

Whether SF deliver is another thing but this is a good thing for Irish society. The dominance of the civil war parties needed to be smashed and they need to reinvent themselves…

What I’ve taken the long winded way of saying, is that democracy was the real winner today.

Sinn Féin are the humanitarian party.

FFG, the civil war parties, are parties of violence. The Irish people have rejected them.

Enjoy today, Comrade Bob, because tomorrow will be ours.

That would do. With the smallest violin in the world as the intro.

Tank · February 9, 2020, 2:50pm

Sean O’Rourke, Eoin Harris, Michael McDowell, your boys took one hell of a beating.

Copper_pipe · February 9, 2020, 2:50pm

According to the father who is at the count, all 4 candidates reckon they can get the last seat. Collins, Neville, ROD and Ceallaigh.

Transfers will be crucial.

johnnysachs · February 9, 2020, 2:51pm

I hope SF disband RTE and build loads of apartment blocks on the Montrose site.

Tank · February 9, 2020, 2:54pm

I’ll fucking tell you what lads, I don’t live in “Ireland Inc.” or some such shite. I live in a community.
