Any sign of Dublinâs Chris Tackleberry or indeed the Dublin LOL?
Will there be a commemorative 2025 dvd available I wonder?

Not true, @Rocko made some fuvk up when he changed servers and shortened my name the lazy bollix
@Cheasty off-topic but do you know whatâs behind all these strangely named YouTube channels posting gaa clips? Is it some right-wing bot gone feral?
Eg, the video above is from a channel called âBritish&IrishEmpire1801â which posts several times a day. Hereâs another called âHellAwaitsFornicatorsâ
âCharlesLawsonSermonsâ
âLaois4Israelâ
No idea but noticed the same. Comments seem to be disabled on every video as well. Maybe it is a bot but no idea of the objective!

I noticed the Hell Awaits Fornicators account before.
The Hell Awaits Fornicators account and the Charles Lawson Sermons account both have videos from some weird âpastorâ named Charles Lawson who does not appear to be Jim McDonald from Coronation Street.
I have no idea whatâs going on but Iâd guess some sort of AI bot or troll. All of those accounts have minimum 500 videos. Then again it could be some sort of crazy evengelical obsessive who also likes GAA and spends their life putting up clips interspersed with fire and brimstone American preachers.
I canât see it being very effective whatever is behind it. You arenât going to convert many GAA YouTube buffs by luring them in with 30 second clips of National Hurling League games and then unleashing some fella screaming Old Testament bullshit from behind a pulpit in Alabama.
The British empire channel has game footage up before anyone. Very useful channel

Must be AI given how quick clips are up, some lad has it coded to snip from certain matches or games
Famous for their no Kyleâs policy. They allowed one in and that went sideways fast
âBritish&IrishEmpire1801â seems to be gone.
However we have âBritish Isles Unitedâ which was set up in March 2024.

Commiserations to Heather Humphreys but also congratulations on achieving the largest share of the vote for a Fine Gael candidate in an Ăire presidential election for over 50 years.
Congratulations to Catherine Connolly who celebrates her birthday on the Glorious 12th of July.
A very good election for the Orange Order.

Orange Order leaders have written to Britainâs King Charles to express their âdisappointmentâ after he prayed with Pope Leo XIV in Rome last month.
In their letter, the Grand Masters of Ireland, England and Scotland called on Charles to âreflect on his coronation oathâ and the âpromises he made before Godâ when he became king.
The Orange Standard, the institutionâs official publication, said praying with the Pope contradicted the Kingâs âsolemn commitmentsâ outlined by his coronation oath in 2023.
It confirmed the letter was sent by the three senior figures within the order, Edward Stevenson from Ireland, Tim Lord of England and Scotlandâs Andrew Murray.
Many members of the Orange family âwill have been disappointedâ by the Kingâs decision to pray with the pontiff in the Vaticanâs Sistine Chapel on October 23rd, it said.
The event was the first joint worship including a British monarch and a Catholic pontiff since King Henry VIII broke away from Rome in 1534.
Although Charles has met the last three popes, and popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI travelled to Britain, their previous encounters never included joint prayers.
The Orange Standard article noted Charles had shown a willingness to engage with a range of other religious leaders.
âNonetheless, the fact remains that in his 2023 coronation oath, King Charles swore to âmaintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by lawâ,â it said.
The publication urged Orangemen and women ânot to be discouraged or deflected from our solid foundations, which are rooted in the truths of the Reformationâ.
âIn October 1555, Latimer and Ridley were burned at the stake for their beliefs. Winds of change will always blow; they have done so down through the centuries and will no doubt continue. Nevertheless, it is important to remain steadfast in the Reformed faith, even in the face of opposition,â it said.
âThe Grand Masters of Ireland, England and Scotland have jointly written privately to His Majesty to encourage him to reflect upon the solemn commitments of his coronation oath and the promises he made before God.â
Rev Kyle Paisley, the son of the late DUP founder Ian Paisley, last month called on Charles to cancel the engagement or to abdicate and âlet someone else take his place who is a true Protestantâ.
Mr Paisley said the monarch should âuphold the Protestant faithâ and in praying with the Pope is âbreaking his oathâ and ânot upholding his promise to defend a reformed faith when he mixes in that kind of wayâ.
âThe Protestant faith historically and theologically is a world apart from Catholicism,â he told the BBC.
âI donât for the life of me see how he can engage in that kind of corporate worship.â

If anything, I believe any head of state should promote unity and to rail against what we believe seperates us. Constructs of the ego. Iâm different from themâŚand us all made of stardust. As much historical gripe I had in years gone by, I have genuinely greatly admired the efforts of the Queen Mother, the late Queen, Charles, William and his wife to make amends for transgressions of the past, and to promote peace and unity. I see no threat to the Protestant faith and congregation from his actions. I donât see anyone changing sect or denomination as a result.

Itâs his holiness who should be reluctant. Catholics are still forbidden to hold post of PM in Britain which is clear discrimination
