Quote from: whitey on Today at 06:22:08 PMSo if I understand you correctly, in your view, ALL concerns regarding immigration are driven by either racism or stupidity (or both)?

And if the answer is yes-do you support open borders?

All concerns? Not in the slightest. But anyone who regards it as a priority or anything close to one, or who spends more time obsessing about it than about they do about health, education, taxation etc...Well you have to question their motivation.


After all, other than racism or stupidity, why would anyone be angry enough to take to the streets, or to base their voting decisions in protest about immigration ahead of in protest about the state of the health service, or housing crisis, or tax evasion by the super wealthy etc etc etc?
Hear hear... is a very useful distraction used by FG and Tories from those other more pressing issues
Seeing millions being spent on housing refugees etc is bound to (rightly or wrongly) piss people off when they can see the state of things like the roads, hospitals, schools etc. low hanging fruit for a protest vote.

Screaming far right doesn't help.

Hospitals have been a shambles long before a refugee was about the place. If you blame hospital issues on refugees it's as simple as this, you are a racist.

And we were told that there was no money to fix hospitals..........and yet we have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees

There's towns and villages that don't have a single Guard-and yet we have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees

38000 people have been waiting for more than 18 months for a scan yet we have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees

10,000 disabled kids have been waiting for more than a year to get an appt to see a specialist and yet we somehow have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees

People are rightly outraged and it has shag all to do with racism

I hear it's closer to trillions. You forgot to shoehorn the homeless in there. You've a huge heart caring so deeply about so so many

Interesting.

Is he a poster/lurker here?

A few things that were talked about in the podcasts thread were mentioned in the gaa social so I'd bet he is

Don't know, he'd have to wade through some amount of dung  ;D

Only seems to be corner seats at the minute.

Central Cusack sections on sale now tbrick
They must have went really quick....I've already got for myself in section 303, but my auld fella has had a change of heart and looking to go now. Could do with 4, central cusack under the roof if possible.

309 looks your best bet for 4 under the roof, row SS. Those not using their season tickets went back into the pot earlier ie the central blocks

Quote from: toby47 on March 27, 2024, 09:09:42 AMHow many do we expect to be in Croke Part on Sunday?

According to Crokepark.ie they are expecting 40k and 10k for Saturday.

Optimistic on both counts from Crokepark.ie in my opinion.
They are never far wrong with their expected crowds.

Emmm.. Chances are the upper decks will remain closed
And won't be opened. Will many of the Donegal/Armagh supporters stay on for the 2nd game? Won't be many Dubs in for the first game.




Thanks.. Tix sorted

Quote from: statto on March 26, 2024, 08:43:01 PMRobertson away off injured in pretty meaningless game tonight.

But Bradley scored
sure isn't that great news.

Liverpool have depth to their squad, Bradley has been filling holes all season and Robertson hasn't really been missed considering he's been injured most of the year.

The kids have done rightly
Bradley hasnt been filling holes all season he's filled in in one position right back and done extremely well.Gomez has did ok this season but him and the Greek scouser would be big downgrades on Robbo at his best.

Maybe time for a change of username  ;D

Quote from: armaghniac on March 25, 2024, 07:51:07 PMThe Paddy Power Ranking

Dublin 13/8
Kerry 5/2
Derry 11/2
Galway 9/1
Mayo 10/1
Armagh 20/1
Donegal 22/1
Tyrone 25/1
Roscommon 80/1
Cork 100/1
Monaghan 100/1

I'm not sure that Galway/Mayo are hugely better than Armagh/Donegal/Tyrone but one of them will be Connacht champions and that has seeding advantages.

Wouldn't totally rule out Roscommon out. Won Connacht in 2017 and 2019 off the back of Division one relegation.
Mayo would be my bet, but the Rossies have forwards to trouble anyone.

The Rossies will have a big Connacht Championship as per usual.

Then disappear once the big boy stuff starts come All Ireland stage.

"Watch out
They'll tear your insides out"

Davy Burke has been planning for the last 9 months.
He is a really good coach. He practices scenarios over and over.

The odds reflect information that the power ranking does not. 

If they get to a semi final I will eat my words.

Whats stopping them from making the next step; they certainly have the forwards to do so.
Small margins

Only an excuse.

What about the Cork game?

or Clare in 2022

Quote from: imtommygunn on March 26, 2024, 11:45:29 AMThey're not a top four team is what's stopping them getting to a semi final. They are a decent side tbf to them but just not quite that level. It's not a failure.

Would you say Monaghan are a top 4 team though? or even Tipperary.

Both have made 2 semis finals in recent years albeit one of Tipps had an astrix.

Roscommon should reach out to Cavan for a few pointers

Trust me I know we are a lot worse than the Rossies; but theres no hype about us.

Who's hyping Roscommon?

Quote from: JimStynes on March 26, 2024, 09:46:51 AMAirport park in Dublin over £200 for a week. Ridiculous

Getting the bus for £36 return for 2 people.

That is the short term I presume?

I always park in the short term and have done before they offered as a prebook option, especially when I was expensing for work. You not being extorted, you are paying for a premium parking spot right at the door of the terminals and it's always been that expensive (you get a discount for pre-booking now). The problems are since quick park shut there is a shortage of long term spots (the blue is a pain in the bollox) and more cost effective options.

The bus is great value and drops you right at the terminals. If you have close by, not sure why you'd drive to the airport tbh.

The other options were a 15min transfer from the blue long term car park for £130 and another shorter one for £108. Parked in the red car park a few years ago and it's more than doubled in price. I'm only 10/15 min from the bus route so you're right, it's a better option to just get the bus.

£168 for 12 nights in Red in the summer. We'll park at a friend's house outside Dublin and get a taxi to the airport.. Serious cash on top of everything else

they wont win it this year either but I do think the league final will also be the AI final

You've the 2 form teams in the country playing on Sunday, and could very well (taking nothing for granted of course) meet again in an AI final. You'd have very short odds on Dublin doing the double, seriously long odds on Derry doing the double. That's the position Derry is in


A Very envious position for 31 other teams.
So I am not complaining.

It's the stuff of dreams
