We used to be a proper country.
Cyril was apoplectic about this U17 nonsense and no Minor Final on All Ireland Final day on OTB this morning.

Surprised he lasted as long as he did in a glorified tabloid like the Indo considering their new owners were looking to cut costs. Iām sure heāll pick up a bit of freelance or maybe write a book.
He will have no bother. Big following. But I was told he was stunned beyond the beyonds at news.
Brendan Fanning also chopped.

Great news.
Hopefully a similar one will emerge about John McGuirk, the only journo quite his match in the odiousness stakes.

Think it said o doherthy has gone from a daily article to a weekly one
I donāt like to hear about anybody experiencing hard times, but if anybody has to experience hard times Iād rather it was somebody like Ian OāDoherty or John McGuirk.
Itās a bit similar to how when I hear that there has been a mass shooting in America, I hope the victims were Trump supporters. Itās not that I actually want anybody to die (maybe Putin, Netanyahu and Itamar Ben Gvir) but when I hear that somebody has died, itās better if it turns out to be a horrible person with awful values that has died rather than a sound person with good values.
Further to the above, I see Itamar Ben Gvirās car overturned while running a red light today.

Earning too much too long ā and too long believing his own hype. Made bad friends through tardiness on deadlines.
Will be interesting to see where he lands.
Can understand why people like his stuff but have personally always thought such stuff utter shite, the worse kind of passive aggressive insincere gladhanding, shrubbery for an ego hide.
Kimmage is a more sharp edged version of same syndrome. As was Vincent Hogan.

Yes. Read article yesterday. He is toast.
An obnoxious moronic talentless gobshite in every way. Did well for himself.

I like Roy in a similar way to how I like Des Cahillās shit jokes. Familiarity. Comfort. Roy may not be the worldās greatest writer, but heās positive and you can tell he genuinely does love life and chooses to focus on the good things in it. When he focusses on the negative itās because he genuinely wants things to be better than they are.
He really would be a great man to have a pint with.

Roy will surely find his true calling, reviewing pints, as the Sunday Worldās, Pub Spy.
