Jesus wasn’t a Catholic. Following the teaching of the Bible is the best way to live your life.

“My chief of staff, Leo McGarry, insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself or is it okay to call the police?”

"Here’s one that’s really important cause we’ve got a lot of sports fans in this town: touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7 If they promise to wear gloves can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point?"Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother, John, for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads?“Think about those questions, would you?”

You forgot the impirtant part

While you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant Tight-Ass Club, in this building, when the President stands, nobody sits.

Following the Ten Commandments would save a lot of a folk a lot of trouble .

Commandment 11. Don’t be getting into vicious arguments with people you don’t know on something called the Internet in couple of thousand years time

I think the initial don’t worship false idols would avoid this clash.

Think he was informally known as Roddy The Proddy but in a friendly banter, non-sectarian way. Of course, being a proddy is fine & doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a Rangers fan either. It’s just that he happens to be too. I’m non-religious myself but I think the proddy belief of communion being a symbol rather than Jesus Christ’s actual body makes more sense.

Ok. I’ll withdraw

Jimmy Cooney

I’d say he never fully recovered from that controversy. He took it very hard.

[backinatracksuit]

An honest mistake, a shameful response from sone quarters

[farmerinthecity]

It was a bad mistake. Being a referee and getting the time wrong - I’ve never actually seen it before. People do make mistakes though - even bad ones.

RIP to him.

[dodgy_keeper]

Why in the name of God didn’t some sideline official or one of the linesmen grab him and say ‘you’ve another couple of minutes to play, go back out there and finish it out.’

It was such a genuine, honest mistake that was easily fixable.

RIP.

Yer man Jim Roche marched him off the pitch as he realised his mistake, the Biffos occupied the pitch and the dye was cast

I read an interview with the man years later, he said blowing it up early still weighed heavily on him even with the passage of time. Must have been a tough cross to bear. Didn’t realise he played in the 1980 final and was a decorated player in his own right.

Mind you he probably cost Clare an All-Ireland so some good came out of it.

Think he was left corner back in 1980.
