I certainly hope so , or he may explode at some point.
William Joyce aka Lord Haw haw wasnât Irish, however, he does have an Irish father (and an English protestant mother) born in Brooklyn, family moved to Galway, he was an informer for the black and tanâs. The rest as they say is history.
Where did you learn that?
A book called Hitlerâs Irish Voices. I could go on about what I learnât in the first two chapters but Iâll leave it to yaâs, very interesting read.
NB: A few West Clare men pivotal to Hitlerâs Irish radio station.
China has used more cement in last 3 years than the USA used in entire 20th century.
Donât know how big a fan he really is. He made a tit on himself when talking about Michael Sam, and was pure spoofing.
Eh he tends to that on every subject ,
Peter OâMeara who is currently playing Brian Lenihan in Charlie, played the gormless Lieutenant Norman Dike who botches the raid during the Battle of the Bulge in Band of Brothers.
The cunt
There is only one gaelic footballer lining out for the 2015 season, who played intercounty football in the 20th century. No other player who played pre 2000 has at present signaled an intent to commit to their counties panel in 2015.
Iâll leave it open for now for the crack, but its out there in the media anyway.
Barden
Correct. Fair fucks to him, but he most likely needs his head examined.
Iâm calling bullshit on that. Source?
Has to be a limerick man
Something I learned over the weekend, but so be it.
Since the setting up of the competition, not one Tony Forristal winning county has gone on to win a All Ireland Minor title 4 years later.
Of the Kerry team hammered by Cork in the 2011 Munster U21 Football Final in 2011 by 2-24 to 0-8 (around the time @caoimhaoin told us Kerry football was finished and that Cork were set to dominate football for years to come), 9 went on to win a Senior All Ireland in 2014, with one of them winning Footballer of the Year.
The correlation between All Ireland FĂ©ile success, and producing players who continue to play for the Club long term, can more often than not be quite poor, with some FĂ©ile winners showing an alarming drop off in comparison to other sides in the respective Clubs who didnât have the same national success.

Any concrete stats around that?
Only going on what was said at the Liberty Insurance Games Development Conference, James Stephens and some other KK club was mentioned by the Kilkenny contributor I think, Brian Ryan was his name iirc. I imagine the âcan oftenâ part would suggest no.
Oh, another example given re underage success was the Kilkenny Minor side who lost out on their 10th Leinster Minor Title in a row. On that team I believe mentioned were JJ, Jackie, among others. I presume a Kilkenny poster can fill a few of the other names. Just an interesting look at underage success and its effect, good and bad.
Sounds a bit wishy-washy alright.
Our own club was the first in Limerick to do the Feile Double, i.e. qualify for the hurling & football in the same year.
Off the top of my head Iâd say there was four that went onto play senior inter-county football.
I wouldnât put too much stock in underage success. Some clubs seem to be able to consistently produce good groups of players without producing superstars, whereas other clubs are able to produce 2 or 3 very good players every year but donât have the strength in dept to be successful.
Kev is in favour of polygamy in Irish society.
