TV Tonight

Very enjoyable. I’d have liked a bit of a wrap up on all the players though. Roddys absence was curious however and might point to a bit more perhaps.

Just watched first 5 there looks good. When was it filmed? Surely they are not talking about fighting now

Nah made a few years back . Its a good watch

Is this what was on tonight that the lads are on about?

calzaghe Was a great bit of stuff… unfortunately there were no true greats for him to fight when he was champ… a lot of fighters avoided him… he was an old school classy boxer… Collins gave up his belts and retired instead of fighting Joe… albeit calzage was much younger…

In 2014, Collins joined the Army Reserves, and in 2017, transferred to 253 Provost Company[3]of the 4th Regiment Royal Military Police in London where he had been living for the previous 20 years.[4] He gained promotion to Lance Corporal and qualified as an army boxing coach.

One for the things I learned today

Collins had a couple of domestic violence clouds hanging over him in the noughties according to google. No charges ever brought as far as i can see but his ex wife and new partner both made accusations at different times.

It’s up on the RTE Player.

First part of Michael Lynn doc on rte 1 there. Good watch. The banks never lose even when they lose.

He did the poor divil.

You’d wonder what Breda O Brien adds to the program

Some vigilant paper-shuffler in the BoI had twigged this fraudster as far back as 2004 but his warnings/alerts fell on deaf ears. He was probably transferred to Charleville for attempting to call a halt to things.

Lynn ingratiated himself into the arms of the hungry bankers of the era and the abuse of the solicitor’s undertaking only fuelled the fire.

All these docs seem to need a breathless talking head stating the glaringly obvious.

Fuck it I’m glad my parents never ran into that lad, he’d have had the lot.

A normalising presence for a right wing religious think tank which refuses to reveal its sources of funding.

I think she’s pretty hot too tbh

Brenda Power is my breathy reactionary right wing female hack of choice in that regard.
