There was also a Cork football strike in the winter of 2007/08.

Fair enough I still don’t think Donal og and his strike had any impact this weekend.

@Perez2017 claims that club attendances are brilliant in cork.

They brought as big a support to croke park as any county has ever done.

Seanie McGrath, landers and Pat mulachy have done a lot more harm than Donal og from what I’ve seen.

The cork footballers strike ended when attendances at their games actually went up during it

I would say the SIPTU brigade of O’Hailpin, Cusack, Gardiner etc seriously damaged Cork hurling. The treatment if a Cork hurling icon like Gerald McCarthy was unforgivable. There by was a lat of bac blood after the strike era. Cork have been slowing building themselves back up through going back to first principles and strengthening the underage setup.

While what the likes of the SIPTU boys did bad little impact on last Sunday’s collapse it doesn’t mean Cusack shouldn’t be called out for his cuntishness

No, of course not. If we learned anything in this All Ireland the one thing Cork hurling hasn’t lost is its arrogance.

Dion would interview people with interesting stories. He interviewed an Iranian woman a few months ago who’s family had to get out of Iran. She explained what happens in the gaol’s there.

Didnt Cusack and Brollocks have a slight altercation at some do,a few years ago?
I think I can remember Brollocks saying that Cusack was going bald headed for him and had to be held back.

Joe waited and got his dig back when Cusack is at a low ebb.Theres the Snake-Not Cusack.

I didnt hear that one,and Im not doubting you,but Im nearly 99% sure it was Cusack.

Why I remembered is due to the bizarre nature of the encounter.

Oh Joe.

“President Putin”. Very deferential.

Even if the quote was real, and there’s no evidence it is, it would still be a quote by a genocidal fascist dictator.

You’d be a bit worried about the state of mind of somebody who is reaching for a made up quote about human rights from a genocidal fascist dictator.

This quote is being widely attributed on social media to Vladimir Putin. Is it real? “If Russia had done just 10% of what Israel did in Gaza, NATO would now be at Moscow’s gates. The West has taught us that human rights begin and end at the borders of Israel’s interests.”

That quote — “If Russia had done even 10 % of what Israel did in Gaza, NATO would be at Moscow’s gates…” followed by “The West has taught us that human rights begin and end at the borders of Israel’s interests” — is not a verified statement by Vladimir Putin. Here’s what the available information shows:

:question: What we know:

  • The phrase appears widely circulated on social media platforms and attributed to Putin youtube.com+8facebook.com+8x.com+8.
  • But it does not appear in any official Kremlin transcript, speech, interview, or reputable news report. Fact-checkers and analysts have found no verifiable primary source for it.
  • Independent researchers, including journalists and fact-checkers, have flagged it as unverified. One observer wrote: “While I haven’t been able to verify the quote, Putin has criticised Western ‘double standards’ in various contexts,” but explicitly noted no source confirming this specific wording facebook.com.

:mag: What Putin has said on related issues:

  • Putin has long criticized what he sees as Western hypocrisy regarding human rights, selective outrage, and double standards. These themes have appeared in many contexts — his Munich speech in 2007, various public addresses, and Kremlin commentary. But none use that exact phrasing or refer directly to Israel and Gaza in the way the quote suggests en.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org.
  • Russian media figures like Vladimir Solovyov have on occasion compared Israel’s conduct to Russia’s, but this is commentary, not a Kremlin statement or a quote from Putin himself en.wikipedia.org.

:white_check_mark: Bottom Line

  • The quote is unsubstantiated and should be treated as misattributed or fabricated.
  • While its sentiment may echo broader themes Putin has mentioned — Western double standards, selective human rights enforcement — there is no verified record of him delivering this line or anything closely resembling it.

If you are seeing this attributed to him widely online, it’s best regarded as misinformation or meme-style rhetoric rather than a genuine Putin quote.
