I must have been off school the day the covered the part where the Men of 1916 anally raped the teenagers at a music festival

I'm not saying that didn't happen but rape as a weapon is widely used by the IDF on a consistent basis

And this isn't a new thing to the IDF before or after the "start" of the genocide.

Dehumanising your enemy is a trick the Israelies learned well from our neighbours.

Belgium should be there or there abouts as well given the players they have, but seem to fill the togs at tournaments...

Surely there's a left sided Fullback in England rather than pinning all their hopes on a perennially injured Luke Shaw

Both Branthwaite and Quansa (Liverpool) invited to the extended panel, maybe to put pressure on Maguire, but one of the two need to go as I think Stones is first choice, it's just a matter of who he's paired with, but Southgate has traditionally stuck with the tried and tested Maguire no matter how shíte he's been with Utd.

I'm sure people are going to go ballistic (no pun intended) when I ask this question, but what exactly did Hamas hope to accomplish by the attacks on October 7th?

Was it a revenge attack for decades of oppression on the Palestinians?

Was it an attempt to start a war?

Was it an attempt to derail the normalization of relations between Israel and other Muslim Countries?

Netanyahu was like Tyson Fury on Saturday night and would likely have been removed from office. Why did they give him this lifeline ?

On a scale of 1-10 how did they think Israel would respond ? (1 being do nothing, 10 being dropping a nuke)

All of the above.

If you're living from one aid drop to the next, being picked off and slaughtered day and daily by the IDF in both the Gaza strip and even still in the West Bank you've nothing to lose.

Did it play into Netanyahu and his ultra right wing partners in government hands? To an extent but it may well suit the Palestinians in the longer term with how Netanyahu has went on a genocidal rampage in the Gaza strip.

Those who have turned a blind eye to the atrocities carried out by the IDF for decades can no longer sit by and watch and now I think we're seeing the start of something better for Palestine as there's no way Netanyahu and the Israelis can be seen to have benefited from this genocide.
The Us can no longer be seen to be neutral in this conversation as it never was.

Couldnt all Whiteys questions be similarly asked of Irish rebellions. We were a small, poorly armed peasantry resisting the biggest empire in the world. Could we not ask why did our crazy ancestors rebel in 1641, 1798, Robert Emmett, 1916, Tan War, Troubles. Sure didnt we know what would come to us?

Which makes it all the more galling to see anyone with an inkling of Irishness in them supporting Israel in any form.

We've all been told for decades who the terrorists were whilst those who called us such we covered in the blood of innocent Irish people.

So we're Hamas justified in their actions on October 7th?

Every bit as much as the Easter Rising.

Irexit incoming? What would the vote be like for that? Controlling your own borders and having all shape bananas

Surely, when they look at the mess that's the UK's been in, anyone with half a brain would realise this is madness

Lets face it - the brits did it 'cos of da foreigners'

And the foreigners have never been spilling into the country quicker

Even the far right looney bins can see that?  No?

You make the false assumption that the public have half a brain.

The public see issues with GP appointments, lack of housing etc etc and are told it's them bloody foreigners coming over here, not paying taxes, taking all the benefits etc etc and believe it all the while the real reasons for these issues are inept governments and in the UK's situation an actual Government policy in Austerity which drove a lot of the issues attributed to immigrants.

All the while the rich get even richer.

Genocide Joe now calling an international court "Outrageous". If Donald Trump said that we would all be aghast. Its clear there is zero difference between Biden and Trump, 2 cheeks on the same arse. He is right though, there is no equivalence between Hamas and Israel. One is an invader, armed to the teeth with the highest tech weapons imaginable holding millions of people in an open air prison and committing Genocide. The other is a resistance movement firing the equivalent of bows and arrows at their more powerful occupier. Definitely no equivalence.

Western standards laid bare for all to see:



When he received threats not to go after Israel,
@KarimKhanQC
 reveals "a senior leader" told him the ICC "is built for Africa and for thugs like Putin", and not for the West and its allies.

He should be careful or he might end up in a helicopter or car crash.

Or commit "suicide"

 

Tipp pick up the Munster minor title with a good win over Clare last night, they're also in the U20 final on friday evening playing Cork, something positive in a very dark week for Tipp GAA.

The message I'm taking from that is that the British Government is delaying the stadium at the minute.
However, are the GAA themselves not in the middle of a tendering process which is delaying it anyway? Is the British Government holding that up? Is there a point in the British Government declaring what they can put forward until the total cost is known?

Is it out for Tender at the moment? If I was a company considering tendering for this, I'd be looking at it thinking I've no idea what the budget will be as the funding isnt there. Is it worth the risk of tendering (with all the associated costs of that) to perhaps get excluded as our price exceeds a budget yet to be agreed.

Surely you tender based on your cost modellling of the actual plans and specifications, no?

The budget can't be locked down until those tenders are in, but CHH is backtracking like a good one, although the Minister responsible, Mr Lyons doesn't seem to be pushing too hard either.

If your club has a senior reserve/second team, how many games have they played this year?

Does anyone else think it's a metric that's not getting much attention but should be?

Have Loughgeil put a reserve team into Div2?

Davy and Lohan have a very unhealthy relationship. I expect it's the same for a good few of them. I don't know the full ins and outs but a lot of stuff there with his da etc.

If you ever get a chance there used to be a thread on Clare hurlers on how Brian Lohan got the job. He wasn't even interviewed for the job even though he'd expressed an interest in going for it and it was going to another (highly regarded coach all the same) lad known to be friendly with Davy and his Da only for a delegate to complain about how Brian was treated and then some other delegates rowed in behind and lo and behold he got appointed.

Some of the goings on in the Clare CB would take some beating, and in his first year Lohan had to put his hand into his own pocket for a lot of stuff for the panel of players before a separate organisation or supporters club got together to finance them and the centre of excellence...

Must be a record



Then you have Harry Kane still waiting after all those minutes of action.

I thought you had  to play a certain amount  of games to get a medal. That was  the case for the  premier league anyway , not sure about  the cup competitions

5 games for a league medal but is there an exemption fot keepers.

Surely to christ you must in the very least have to make the matchday squads!

What was the sending off for? Wasnt at the game. Seemed to fall apart after it

From what I saw it was minimal contact, we get refereed in such a different way to the other teams.

Looked like McGarry made an ever so slight contact to the lads helmet...

Very harsh indeed.
