Quote from: AustinPowers on May 07, 2024, 06:37:51 PMI was hoping Ireland  would boycott it  so we wouldn't be subjected to  that act representing the country.

Upsetting your little narrow mind?
Aw diddums

No, but this country has some great musicians and singers. The fact that this was the best  they could come up with  is  bonkers.

We sent the band Dervish filled with musicians in 2007, and they stood on stage miming to a back track. Eurovision is about a package of Song, dance, image, originality, a bit of madness and so on.

We have not been entering songs with the right characteristics up to now.

We have some great musical talent alright but we haven't been sending them in 30 years. Other countries send their best and the results show it.

General discussion / Spacey Unmasked

Did anybody see the Spacey unmasked programme on channel 4 tonight? I didn't see it as my attention was taken up by the Champons League and Eurovision and Spacey unmasked on all at the same time.

I just caught the end of it on channel 4 + 1. While Spacey was cleared of a lot of the charges against him. He did end up having to fork out 30 million dollars to the makers of house of cards.

They made us wait until 9 of the 10 songs were picked. I was thinking here we go again.

Madrid will win again this year I think.

PSG didn't put up much of a fight this year. They only really tried in the last 10 minutes.

PSG still a goal down at half time. Surely they will come out and go all out attack in the second half.

Byrnes kicking for goal was a liability for Leinster today. They were lucky in the end as a result.

Quote from: jcpen on April 28, 2024, 04:17:43 PMIs that Top 4 secure for Liverpool now after Spurs losing?

It looks like it. Unless Spurs win their 5 remaining games by a 20 goal difference and Liverpool lose their 3 remaining games

Scores level but Cork down to 14. Cork have a good bench though with the likes of Coleman coming on.

The NFL draft kicked off last night with the Bears taking Quarterback Caleb Williams number 1. The first round of the draft was dominated by offensive players with 6 quarterbacks going in the top 12 picks.

Clare will never win an all Ireland without a half decent goal keeper. Quilligan letting in the second Limerick goal was a disaster for Clare.

Quote from: Last Man on April 19, 2024, 04:17:29 PMThe NHS was never envisaged to deal with the levels of chronic disease we currently see. T2D, Cardiovascular disease, various cancers all on the up. All the polititions can offer is we need more money for doctors and nurses. How about asking why are we all so sick?

We are all old. With advanced age comes more illness. The population is aging. By 2037 1 in 12 people will be over 65.

That actually seems low. In the republic 15.5% are over 65 that is about one in 6.5

Has anyone picked up gaa go this year? Is it worth 79 euro for a handful of Munster and Leinster hurling championship games and the dross on the football side of things?
