Itâs a solid roaster expression.
Exactly. Anyways who gives a fuck
No. I donât mind reading your posts itâs just âanywaysâ does my head in. Itâs like receiving a work email with Thx. All the best for the new year. Pm me your cv if you want.
its beginning to irk me that a doler like you is scrounging around on here 24/7
No problem mate Iâll try to improve myself.
I have a job but the thought is appreciated nonetheless
Happy Christmas pal and happy Christmas to the missus. I hope she enjoys her once a year stroll outside to do the bottle recycling
woeful bants
no wonder you are unemployable
Bants?
I wasnât joking
Belittling Kevin Lynchâs sacrifice the way he did by mentioning suicide by refusing grub is far more offensive than anything Brolly wrote.
Oh and the IRA werenât responsible for KingsMills they were on ceasefire at the time. Sindo and their ilk will always gloss over this fact.
Tommy Conlonâs had that On The Couch column in the Sindo for around 15 or 20 years, I reckon. Itâs always been there any time Iâve flicked through the paper on Sunday visits to my folksâ house. The only other piece of note he wrote in all that time was a slaughtering of RTEâs Brian Carthy which prompted the likes of DJ Carey and Mickey Harte to publicly support Brian. Iâd say Tommy had to be picked up off the couch himself last week when Joe got busy behind the scenes.
Canât believe it was 15 years ago. Didnât realise they apologised for it some 18 months later and canât find the original scathing column which was quite humorous. Presume they had to take it down as part of the apology.
Is this the same Tommy Conlon?
Who wrote that? Its fantastic.
I like Joe, but this is nonsense. Iâm all for ditching flags and anthems. Take up too much bullshit time.
I had to change my warm up for the All-Ireland a few years ago, it was an awful pain in the hole.
Our patriot dead gave their lives so that your strength and conditioning routines could go uninterrupted in any warm-up.
Thatâs the article Conlon wrote that Joe has lost the plot over
Not trying to start WWIII here before Xmas but would you give up the anthem for Irelands Call if it was a dealbreaker for a united Ireland?
Often wondered when people are banging on about Irelands call (which is a dirge in fairness)
In my experience the national anthem singing at GAA games leaves a lot to be desired. Lads mumbling along head-hearted to it almost embarrassed to be singing it and relieved when they get to skip the last few lines with yahooing. You get a far more enthusiastic and enjoyable anthem experience at rugby and soccer games. Fans there sing it with gusto.
I think you may be projecting a little there.
Nah - I donât think I am. Maybe itâs cos at soccer/rugby games the crowd are there to support Ireland and the anthem is a way to express that while at GAA games there isnât the same motivation. Itâs practically hummed in a low key way at Croker most days
