Ewan claiming that the budget deficit in NI runs at 11bn a year? Can’t be right surely

An Irish sports ‘journalist’ living in Brazil and looking for attention would be the first fella I’d believe on NI financial matters.

Unbelievable. 18 years later and it now becomes clear that the name “Westlife” wasn’t a poorly thought through, emergency name change from “Westside” as a result of another group already having that name, it was actually a bold, defiant, visionary political statement that shrewdly anticipated “the clash of civilisations” and made clear that Islamist terrorists would not change the west’s way of life, no matter what.

Was that not boyzone? Certainly if ISIS was in control, westlife would be flying without wings off a tall building.

That was Janet Jackson.

Brian Moore has been great value on Twitter of late - that’s Brian Moore the former England rugby international and current BBC analyst, not the late ITV football commentator.

Seems to be positioning himself as the rugby equivalent of Gary Lineker - he’s fiercely anti-Tory and anti-Trump and appears to have quite a sneaking regard for Jeremy Corbyn. He thus joins Jim Telfer and Trevor Hogan in the small club of rugby socialists.

the late great Bill McClaren summed up Brian Moore while commentating on a 6N match when Moore joined in a row on the pitch “and here comes Brian Moore with his tuppenorth, and that’s about all it’s worth”

Brian Moore commentates for the BBC now while Bill McLaren is dead.

Not difficult to see whose “tuppenorth” is worth more.

surely worth Moore would have been more puntastic.

Just because he commentates for the beeb doesn’t mean his opinion is worth anything, look at mark lawrenson

1331

You shouldn’t have quoted Bill McLaren then.

1332

McLaren was bang on

But unfortunately for you he was talking about a bout of fisticuffs in a Five Nations match in 1992 rather than on Brian Moore’s Twitter in 2017.
