Some of you lads could start a row in an empty room.

This. I may have half started it so I feel partly responsible 🤭

I had other points to raise but I'm fcuked if I'm going there now lol

I've looked at certain sports/sport stars over the years and thought they were boring twats, in snooker ya had Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry, just machines at the time and focused on nothing else, Golf/tennis was the same with the newer generation, but since Netflix has done various inside documentary type shows its really brought about a different perspective on these sports and sportsmen/women, in a more positive light

Not that I think Netflix will go near snooker just yet as the global appeal might not be there.

But loving the banter here though

Some w**k from Co Down on the radio proclaiming that the A5 is not dangerous. People just need to drive with more care.

He says a new road would be a waste of money that is needed elsewhere and too much good farming land would be lost!!


Probably been on it twice in his life!

What's people's take on Chelsea and Pochettino? Gets a very easy ride from the press compared to Utd, although if they win tonight they'll only be 3 points behind them.

With that squad though, surely they should be contenders. If they have everyone fit next year, a good manager should be at least competing for CL, and if City regress, a title. If they can't, you'd imagine huge financial implications are coming down the line.

They definitely worked their socks off in that last game against Villa. 

In the second half, yes, they were dung in the first half, but that's the inconsistency of Chelsea and must be frustrating for Poch.

Between Laochra Gael and GAA Social my wife always asks me why I watch / listen to stuff that's so depressing    Seems to be the way of it these days - you want to talk to someone then they need to have some sort of back story. (No a dig at anyone just a marketing thing - I haven't listened to this week's one but IMO the Bells are modern day heroes and are just great people so while I have no doubt it will be a bit sad I'll be very interested to listen to them too).

I'd say with the Colin Bell one theres parts that would break your heart but they still manage to have a good laugh in other parts as well, loved the bit about him saying he's meeting lads he played with that are on walking sticks now, sure those are the lads that tracked back and made tackles I didn't bother with that!

Hard to even find superlatives to describe Colin and the service their charity provides tbh, have helped over 1800 families at such a tough time.

I remember Colin won the lotto... not the foundation, for them personally. Everyone was so happy for them. Good people have helped so many families.
