He didn't show any signs....

VAR i thought was brought in to prevent obvious fouls not picked up by the Ref.  But listening to the commentary last night the foul in the box was slight.  Who triggers the use of the VAR?  Hell of a finish though.

I ask this as there seems to a potential fault line there.  Right wing elements in Italy. Hungary, Poland and Sweden has already left the Euro.  A European army being mooted can't see Ireland being in favour (well I'd vote no).

So is Europe falling apart?

Or were they just thinking about it?

Doesn't to be too much outcry about this and everyone is recognising the guy who just proclaimed himself president. Is it just that it says that it is socialist?

Did anyone watch this last night  on BBC1 last bight?

Nolan for once wasn't blustering as normal.

I see the President and Vice president want to change the 14th amendment i.e. if you are born in the USA, ypu are an American citizen.  Would this open attempts to change the 2nd amendment.  Would this affect any posters over in America?

A song that is creepy.

Day to Day, what will the implementation of this Act do?  Arguements on the radio seem to be reducing it to having both languages on road signs.  Is this what iti is?

If it is introduced tomorrow, what does it mean?  Compulsory teaching of Irish in schools?  I say this as in the South,Republic, Free State call it whatever, the compulsory  teaching of Irish hasn't been a resounding success.  Most people would have a smattering of Irish words but would not be able to have a conversation in Irish (Gaeltacts  being the exception).  Is Northern Ireland going back to direct rule from London?

Trump is allowing the file on JFK to be released "subject to receipt of further information"..  An end or the final word on the JFK assination.  I must admit that, that"grassy knoll" conspiracy was always my favourite.

The GAA's hopes of playing both Hurling and Football AI Final has already slipped because the hosting World Meeting of Families next year may take place in Croke park.

He said: "My thoughts go in a special way to the Archdiocese of Dublin and to all the dear Irish nation for the generous welcome and commitment involved in hosting such an important event."

It'll be a bonanza for the "lock hards" or have they disappeared?

Who is happier?  Mayo or Dublin?

Stan Kroenke has launched a Hunting Channel which includes Elephant/Lion hunting. I think it is based more for the American Audience.  The Guardian has more information.

This sounds interesting. Maybe have been monitoring the GAA Board.  Dara Ó Cinnéide's new TV series looks at how science and technology have changed GAA.  Thank god of the RTE iplayer.

I'd say Oliver Stone will have pissed loads of Americans after his latest movie seems to paint Vlad Putin in favorable light.  He was given great access to Putin.
