Bandage · January 21, 2016, 4:06pm

I’ll set aside a couple of hours tonight to go through the field.

Paddy Cosgrave for me. Personally i don’t think it’s a vintage year. Some of the finalists don’t irk me much at all.

Go Johnny Go!

Funny that 3 of the past 4 winners have been female, yet this years final doesnt contain any female*

*technically.

All white males too. Surely be a few Muslims in the running next year.

I don’t get the Bressie hate. He’s obviously riding the depression thing for all he’s worth, but even a few of the notoriously difficult to please lads from TFK that have met him in real life said he was an alright sort.

Anyone who has dealt with Cosgrave says he’s a massive cunt though.

Nembo_Kid · January 21, 2016, 4:33pm

He’s a sleekit fraud.

Sidney · January 21, 2016, 4:38pm

With 36 people* having so far cast their vote, at this stage the result is very much in doubt.

*6 people

The Kilteely cumann of Fianna Fail has spoken.

Smark · January 21, 2016, 4:43pm

Agreed i don’t mind Bressie. Obviously the stuff he is involved in is a total racket and he is milking it but it hardly makes him a cunt. In fact he is probably more an alright sort than a cunt. If milking things makes you a cunt then i’m a cunt myself.

I admire bresie for making something out of nothing.
A young lad who was a little bit good at rugby and a little bit good at music, just like a shit load of young lads in Ireland.
He is famous now and making a shit load of euro’s.

Can @Tim_Riggins or @dancarter or whatever he goes by now sign in and tell us the tale again about how Cosgrave went after some random lad in some organisation who was bad mouthing the curly headed cunt in the comments section of somewhere the week before Web Summit where supposedly Cosgrave was supposed to be neogtiating with Gardai and Government officials.

Fagan_ODowd · January 21, 2016, 4:57pm

I thought @dancarter was from Cork?

Mac · January 21, 2016, 4:59pm

Is Tim not a Cork man exiled in South Dublin?

Brimmer_Bradley · January 21, 2016, 5:04pm

Denis o Brien polling badly, and Sean Quinn didn’t even make the final shakedown.
Must say I’m a little disappointed.
Too late now I know but everyone of us that insures a car or house pays a little for Quinn’s gambling.

Fagan_ODowd · January 21, 2016, 5:04pm

Claims he attended CBC Monkstown. Maybe Dan is @TheUlteriorMotive

maroonandwhite · January 21, 2016, 5:16pm

Agreed. A friend of mine(not named jeffrey) knows bressie and says he’s thoroughly alright. He’s clearly a bit mental, actual mental (stating he woke up one night and ran 38k) and is trying to spread the word to ease his suffering. Sharing is halving the problem after all. He had no issue calling rugby in ireland for the sham it is, admitting he played professionally without a clue of the rules. I actually think this is a weak field, a few flawed characters, only a few actual cunts.

Major Boosts to the Irish Economy

I heard a good one about Paddy Cosgrave a few months ago which really made me question the guys sanity. Underneath a news article about the Web Summit someone posted a half critical remark about the Summit becoming more of a pissup than anything else anymore, that small start ups would struggle to afford the entrance fees which had grown and grown.

Paddy took exception to the comment and obviously went and researched the commenter (who had posted under their Facebook account). He sent an email to the guy and CC’d your man’s boss, who happens to be one of Ireland’s great tech success stories as well as someone who works under PC in the Web Summit who went to school with the commenter (he must gone through mutual friends on FB to discover this). The email was a long winded defense and had slight digs in it. He obviously sent it to embarrass the guy who commented in front of his boss and mate. The tech boss called up the lad (who was shitting himself a bit) up to his office and told him that PC was considered a bit of a joke by the tech community.

This was a week before the Web Summit, the same week where Cosgrave moaned about the Wi-FI and obviously hadn’t the right contingencies in place. He had important internet arguments to settle.You’d admire him but he’s clearly a bit nuts.

From Planet rugby forum. Quoting in this doesn’t work so just C&P.

Just move on and make your money. He’s got a strong case of the DOB and Donald Trump megalomania

Here ya go

What is it with you and your fanaticism with this makey uppy award? Why have you gone to such lengths with it and who exactly is it you think you are?
