[QUOTE=“myboyblue, post: 997795, member: 180”]Railway Union are understandably unimpressed, obviously not familiar with Miss Horan

that wasn’t their initial response, they first said they were delighted with it
The pitchfork mob on twitter soon corrected them…
i’m calling it the apocalypse, unfunny and noted wearer of scarves and brown shoes, oliver callan, has just weighed in on twitter siding with horan and carey
He weighed in a good number of hours ago at this stage. If he’s a friend of Horan he’s certainly a cunt although I stand by what I wrote about his TV programme yesterday.

[QUOTE=“Juhniallio, post: 1001516, member: 53”]Here it is:
As far as I could see my biggest crime was showing that women could be good at sport while still looking attractive, having a laugh and not hiding their sexuality.
Guilty as charged, my online critics.
You may call me inappropriate, I call you boring.
Or else what? You think I misquoted the girls about the tans and the make-up and the boys?
I quoted their words, not mine - and more power to them.
I was also derided for pointing out that, “These are not butch, masculine, beer-swilling, men-hating women.”
You do realise I used the word NOT there?
Does this mean if I say someone is NOT fat, I will also get a rap on the knuckles for using the word ‘fat’?
Because I really don’t want to spend the rest of my career as a “journalist” walking on eggshells around your sensitivities as opposed to entertaining our readers.
I’m using inverted commas around the word “journalist” because for some reason that’s the way some of you have referred to me on Twitter.
I best keep my journalism grey from now on to fit in with your idea of what a real writer should be - should I?
I best strip off my make-up and write articles entitled, ‘Darwinism, and personal finance checks, in the home.’ So help me God, I’ll do it.
(I kid you not - this was an actual headline on Mullally’s column earlier this month).
But do you know what really got to me? All you online haters had to go and intimidate the rugby players didn’t you?
A minute after the club posted their appreciation of the piece last Sunday, Mullally decided there’d be no craic on her watch.
“Oh my God,” she said, tweeting a link to my article, before adding: “I wonder how the Railway Union players and club feel about being sexualised and patronised in the Sindo today?”
Opinion: Why fake tan can’t hurt feminism
“Apparently they think it’s great,” her followers pointed out, before directing her to their public endorsement of the piece.
That would shut her up. Or so I thought. Because, like a couple of school kids, Una’s followers suddenly began goading the players: “No real rugby player would endorse that,” one chided on their page.
“Are you serious?!?!?!” scolded another.
Zero-Lols-Mullally then continued chastising the club - preaching that they were doing a disservice to their supporters by endorsing the article.
Eventually, at 1.20pm, Railway Union deleted the original post - along with an edited version - and instead said: “The article in no way reflects our sport, its values and the values of our club and our members.”
After that, it was all-out ochlocracy.
During our encounter, the rugby players taught me about physical strength, so I can now return the favour in moral strength.
No matter how big the wall of opposition becomes, never ever back down from being true to who you are. I would rather be hated for what I am, than liked for what I’m pretending to be, as someone once said. And admit it Railway Union girls - as well as rugby - you like wearing tan, make-up and checking out boys.
I saw it in your faces. We had a great evening.
In fact, I would like to do it again - except with alcohol and somewhere I can wear something a bit more shapely.
I did ask them to meet me again, for drinks, this week.
But I was told they were too bruised after the week that was in it to take me up on my offer.
Well I’m sorry to hear that.
The girls did however offer to bring me training with them again - this time with no cameras around.
Interesting.
But just so you’ll know girls - despite what the wailing critics say online - if it had been a male rugby team, you are damn right I would have written the exact same piece. Except I’d have probably worn a push-up bra and stayed around a bit longer after the game.
You know, to chance my arm at that threesome and all.
Well, ye certainly didn’t seem up for it now, did ye!
Don’t say I didn’t ask.
You see I can make these jokes in a national newspaper because the people who know me know my pants are actually harder to get into than one of Mullally’s windbag musings.[/QUOTE]
That is some pile of fucking horseshit all the same. She had a tap in for a column this week and this was the shit she came out with? Journalist my hole.
“Zero-Lols-Mullally”. Wow. Utterly devastating stuff.
She mugged Uan’s off there, off right good and proper.
Martin Breheny’s piece on Cork hurling is woeful today.
You got two woefuls there
Somebody told me that an eminent journalist on sick leave ghosts a prominent former sports man and current thought leader and pundit’s articles
Suppose it was obvious

Everything that cunt writes is woeful.

she is correct when she says
In reality, abortion is only denied to vulnerable women unable to travel due to youth, poverty or legal status – like the woman in this tragic case.

a broken clock and all that. she cannot say that this is true for the woman in this case as it appears there has only been selective leaking and the full facts are far from established
agreed and she then goes on to extrapolate what “the silent majority” want without any evidence for that position
Do we really need another abortion referendum? It is such a nuanced issue that a clumsy constitutional amendment has been shown not to be the solution
It isn’t clear what occurred in this situation and if the girl was under age then there are issues around consent to a contentious medical procedure that had to be addressed which is probably why the medics adopted (if they did) a wait and see approach on the basis that no decision is a decision

I say we do need another referendum to take it out of the constitution and to place it in the hands of the dail. so that it can be legislated for in accordance with the times

I think the stuff that has been leaked so far has been done in support of a liberal bias; an asylumseeker, in direct provision, moved in direct provision etc etc. there are a couple of gaping facts such as whether or not she was informed about the act when she saw the nurse on 8 weeks, and, if so, why didnt she make an application then, and before the determination on 22 weeks, why didnt she apply to the MOJ for leave to go to another country in the EU which would terminate
there’s far too many suspicious gaps in this story , very much like the savita story

It shouldn’t be in constitution but a referendum to remove it altogether wouldn’t pass in my opinion - at least not for a few years with demographics of voters
might’nt pass but would shut everyone up for a couple of years. every generation should have the opportunity to vote on the issue
Way too fractious for any political leader to willingly take on. They should but they would be terrified to do it
