Somebody enlighten  me here...Faulkner wasn't in the small area when the ball was kicked in. But what about the other Cavan player who challenged for the ball with the keeper who (I think) was in tthe square?

Cheers for the replies folks.

Hello all,

I have imported a vehicle from the north to the south and have a VRT inspection set up. Does anybody know if I have to fill in the V5C form and send it off to the address in Swansea? The form asks for a UK address, which won't work for me being based in Dublin.

TIA

I'll just park this here.

Hi folks, anyone here any idea how to go about getting a ticket for the Chelsea-Arsenal match on 4th Feb? Asking for a mate of mine (Chelsea fan) travelling from the States.

Cheers.

Lock them up. Vermin. No need for these gangsters on the streets. Criminals hiding behind a banner.

You forgot to attribute that quote to Lord Diplock. Scumbags they may be but the above is nonsense.

Moscow must have as well? Between Dinamo, CSKA, Spartak

Torpedo fans on the board won't be happy with you AZ....

And not forgetting Lokomotiv...

Which city has an underground railway station called Ranelagh?

Paris

I'd be raging if I were a Sunderland fan last night. All the wee favours they did for Liverpool last season and they were even willing to take Borini off our hands, and Liverpool run up the white flag against Hull to send them deeper into the mire.

Their favours last season were just payback for beachballgate

[Israeli response]

I think a lot of ye have a hard on for Sheehy based on his rising ye. Maybe he deserves some of it. But if you look at what he is saying, what do ye actually disagree with?

1 - Israel is guilty of war crimes, and the atrocities currently ongoing are more of the same.
2 - Israel is illegally settling Gaza and the West Bank, and should be forced to revert to the 1967 UN Boundary.
3 - Israel, within those boundaries has a right to exist.
4 - Palestine, within those boundaries has a right to exist.
5 - An external force, probably the UN, will be required to keep each side from attacking the other.
6 - Hamas has fired rockets into Israel, and this is again criminal behaviour, but it does not excuse the Israeli response.

To be honest, I don't think anyone on this board is a million miles away from what Sheehy is saying. I know I'm not, and I've had my disagreements with him in the past. Sheehy takes exception when some posts from very Pro-Palestinian positions seem to either see only one side, or castigate the entire Israeli population. That seems to be the real disconnect here.

I understand that GHD, Seafoid and Mike Sheehy hold entrenched positions, but sometimes you get so 'dug in' that you don't realise your battle lines are nearly close enough to shake hands.

'Israeli response'...immediately characterizes the Palestinians as the instigators.

[policies]

I think was parties did in the past should be largely irrelevant to the future.

What individuals did in the past is very relevant, and what party policies are for the future are of course very important.

Personally I think its a nonsense to say "I'll never vote FF again" when the FF candidate in my constituency was never part of a FF government, and therefore, in my view would be far less to blame for the mess than, for example, a FG or Lab person who was in opposition at the time Bertie or Cowen was leading and was egging them on to spend spend spend.

I'll be looking for the best young candidate in my constituency, regardless of what party if any they belong to. Someone who I believe had nothing to do with damaging the country and isnt part of the old croneyism and who's policies come closest to my own beliefs.

Sorry Hound, if they're members of a political party then they don't have (personal) policies - they are part of a collective and therefore responsible for those policies and their effects.  In my world you can't join a political party without inheriting history.  If they want to have policies then they should run as independents and stand over those policies, instead of hiding on the back benches and availing of the collective purse to fund their campaigns.

Billy, I know that individual members have to follow party policies, that obviously goes without saying.

"Inheriting their history" I do not agree with. For any election what a party is going to do next is what is important to me, along with of course what an individual's track record is.

I always vote for the person rather than the party. And I've nothing against independents. I haven't done my full trawl yet but at the moment my top 3 in the upcoming council elections are from FF, FG and Independent, while my top 2 in the euros are Green and Labour!

As for Seanie's view that the Irish political system is designed and intended to be corrupt and that society itself is inherently corrupt - well that's a different kettle of fish! If I thought the same way, there's not a hope in hell I'd sit on my hands and stay here moaning. I'd be up and gone with my family to find a uncorrupt society/system.

1. If you focus on the individual candidate rather than their party, and you believe that they don't necessarily 'inherit their history', does that apply to SF as well? (Apologies if you've already answered this elsewhere).

2. If "what a party is going to do next" is what is important to you, don't you risk limiting yourself to evaluating campaign promises / doorstep pledges?

Do you really believe this shite? gwaaaannnnnnnn, admit it, you believe it, gwwwwwwaaaaannnnn !

Keep em coming our fellah, you are fierce tame altogether! 

Objectivity, look it up you fecking clampett! 

Objectivity, thats some laugh coming from the religious.

So 'more religious' immediately means 'less objective'? Is that what you're saying?

If a kid is raised a Catholic and chooses to become Atheist or Agnostic, it's because they must be becoming more objective in their thoughts and outlook? Is that what you're saying?

Is it possible for a kid brought up with little or no religion to become religious by being objective? Or is it a result of a narrowing of the mind in your (obviously superior) view?

I thought the biggest surprise of the night was bringing the replacement refs from the start of the season in for the last two minutes of the Super Bowl.

when the 2 big things about the game are the power going off and a blatant blown call to win the game for the 9ers that's pretty much an epic nfl fail.

And that's from someone with no horse in the race, would be livid if I was as 49ers fan.

Spot on HB. Didn't give a damn who won, but 49ers were shortchanged badly I felt.
