The great PJ McManus

I think you’re overegging things a touch, pal. He loitered on that traffic island in the middle of the North Circular Road a lot longer than he needed to, which I felt showed a dubious, vain side to his character.

I was talking about more the Jones Road side. He got a big cheer when he eventually left. That being said @dodgy_keeper will be glad to know that Joe Schmidt got a big cheer when he passed too - particularly from the Limerick crowd.

Were you in Gills too? We could have had one of our arguments over a pints.

Yes.

I wasn’t that chap in the Dublin jersey, if you’re wondering.

There was some great Limerick City rubby men in an emotional state Sunday in Croke Park.

Now is not the time to be petty.

I’d have no problem if the likes of Nickie Quaid, Graeme Mul, Mike Casey or Kyle Hayes popped into Munster training and gave them a motivational talk.

Could help some of the Munster players like Castleconnel’s CJ Stander who has never won a trophy with them. Might finally get them over the line and win silverware.

The fact that he is a tax dodger isn’t just a Limerick problem. He isn’t a proper citizen and lives outside of the EU to avoid paying what the rest of us can’t avoid. Throwing money at pet projects in Limerick and making the GAA and rubby his plaything gains kudos in Limerick and all over the country but I am refreshed at the numbers of people who are seeing through the bullshit from Lord McManus.

White choclate and pistachio cake was the celebratory treat for the guests paying €820 a night for most basic room, €340 for a round of golf and €100 for a steak. I’m sure the occasion wasnt lost on the guests. Incidentally you can stay in the Europe hotel for a third of the cost. You dont have a manicured golf course to look out on but splendid lake views as @bandage will attest or you can play Ballyliffin for €70 and the Old head of Kinsale for considerably less than here. But its his business model and I doubt CEOs of fortune 500 companies want to be rooting for a ball in knee high fescue. I think he is trying to forcibly create a decadence of Augusta about Adare and a type of golfing Nirvana.

If he can get Limerick to win an All Ireland he can do anything.

Once it holds the Ryder Cup his work will be done.

Had a booking for breakfast there last Saturday week but we were too late getting down so swerved it. Tried to call in on the way back the following week but no entry into the actual grounds itself without booking or invitation.

I’m not familiar with horse racing or JP’s business interests but are they mostly in or out of Ireland?

Morally speaking, I always thought Denis O’Brien’s move was the worst as he sold a cash cow that was awarded by the State (irrespective of your view of the Moriarty Tribunal). If you’re wealthy and a global business person, by all means be aggressive.

Not many people are. He does lots of vauge deals and general “business”. When he moved to Geneva I believe FX trading was his main line of business, not sure if that’s still the case.

He mugs off Arab playboys for a sideline

And is a backgammon shark

Danny Dyer put a saddle on him and rode him all the way to Greece.

But then McManus ate the country piece by piece.

So Lord McManus’ Manor is now the sponsor of the Limerick hurlers? You actually couldn’t make this shit up.

I know a few lads in the horsey set and they can’t stand what cunts like the Lord have done to their industry, According to them, the money men will buy a horse only to stop someone else from having it. That might be business but it isn’t what the rules were changed for. Rules that the likes of Magnier and Co. have fine tuned to suit themselves and all the time with compliant politicians.

And Glackin Report aside, you can be sure that many small men were screwed along the way.
