Quote from: burdizzo on May 10, 2024, 10:57:16 PMNo, I'm drawing a line between periods of large-scale immigration. Simple as that. You're trying to put words in my mouth. You may want to engage in semantics, but my point was that massive demographic change is not good for the host society in the long run.
Quote from: ONeill on May 10, 2024, 10:35:59 PMHave Armagh been punching above their weight in recent years, or have they underperformed? Or neither?
I don't know.
Their record last year in the Championship was nearly as good as the All-Ireland winners, but also didn't see it over the line 3 times.
Funny team.
Quote from: burdizzo on May 10, 2024, 10:17:27 PMVery low would be what we had prior to 1992. Massive demographic change is now.
The plantations were still immigration. You can play with words all you like, but that's what is was - organised immigration. Was it good for the host society? Were the early waves of immigration to the 'new world' good for the host societies? Was the immigration of Jews to the Middle East a good idea?(!) Will the current massive demographic change be good for Ireland?

Personally I think they have done them a favour and saved them a horrible day out
Favour or not, not every year you make a cup final and I'm sure a jolly to London, a bed for the night and a match ticket is a really really big deal for ordinary folk on minimum to average industrial wage.
It's certainly the last two years in a row.
So it's not Ratcliffe but the operations manager?
I've a friend who's daughter dates somebody who's a marketing manager at City, he gets the same wage that he got in his last marketing job.
Just because they are loaded, people get paid to do a job, not overpaid, and yes him and his girlfriend are heading to Wembley, mainly because City can't fill their own stadium
