Quote from: gerrykeegan on Today at 08:22:46 AMMy 17 year old said to me who thought it was a good idea to put that portal there. Do they not know the type of people who hang around there. Bonkers

They could put it anywhere and people would still act the ****. It's human nature. Could have it in ballsbridge and all the poshos would be coming out of the pubs and doing the same.

That said, corner of North Earl Street definitely a terrible location. Shocked it hasn't been vandalised yet.
Porn videos, images of the twin towers being hit, a woman mooning, kids giving the finger while their parents video and laugh... Not so sure that would happen everywhere.

I'm 99.8% confident it would happen anywhere. Rugby boys don't get their arse out? Horseplay! Kearn-age!

Quote from: Itchy on May 13, 2024, 01:36:59 PMIt does stop a man catching a long ball in and getting swamped by 3 defenders and getting turned over.

Is this what people want to stop?

It's ITVX. Not even broadcast in full HD, never mind UHD.

Crazy that it's the guts of 20 years old and the iPlayer is probably still the single best VOD service going.

I'll get me coat.

But it reeks of owners who've bled the club dry and not one bean of their money will ever be spent on Manchester United.

How can you say that, just the £2.1bn in player acquisitions since they bought the club

And not one bean of it from the Glazers.

That was all revenue generated by Man Utd PLC.



True, but as owners they could have used the cash reserves to pay themselves dividends so it is their money. I dont disagree that they have been shocking owners but it is a case of spending money badly rather than not spending it.

Its the risks of being a plc as United was, there are benefits in terms of access to cash to invest and grow but you are vulnerable to an unwanted owner coming in.

That's the exact point they were paying themselves the dividends at the same time. So instead of redeveloping the stadium and training facilities alongside investing in the playing squad, they choose one.

The money has been invested badly in the playing squad but that comes from not having top quality football people making those calls, you had Ed Woodward with his finance background and no discernible footballing decision making structure.

But they dont care as long as the club keeps making money for them. 

Thankfully they have Sir Dave in place to fix all that going forward.

Always buy your own car hire excess insurance. Can get annual policies for 50 quid odd. The car hire company will absolutely gouge you.

Every now and again ITV puts out a really, really good show. They make them so hard to watch though with the quality and ads on ITVX.

Niblock thinks the Anglo-Celt is the most precious piece of silverware in Ireland. Odd take.

Quote from: Nanderson on May 12, 2024, 05:44:13 PMDoes this game go to penalties if a draw after extra time?

Yes.

Ref didn't want to risk being in position of giving away a dodgy free for a potential winner.

Considering the quality of some of the scores, I found the whole thing very boring.

Lynch has generally been quiet since the injury. Understandable given the severity of it, but surprised he's kept his place this long while being so far off his exceptional standards.

Kyle Hayes finally on the receiving end of a bit of discipline. If the judiciary can't do it, the refs will have to step up!

Quote from: gallsman on May 11, 2024, 07:44:00 PMOk, so how much will Limerick win by? I'm gonna say 8.

Was feeling good about this when Flanagan's second went in.

First time a team has responded to limerick's 3rd quarter push. Incredible run from Kingston to win the penalty.

KK were absolutely brutal, even for being down a man. Hit 16 wides and if it wasn't for two monster scores from TJ (who'd been poor all day) they'd have been beaten.

Quote from: Saffrongael on May 11, 2024, 06:25:08 PMIt looked like the KK player over ran the ball over the sideline, and then tossed the ball away - hard to tell

Must have been as couldn't see anything else. Ref made a "pulling back" that I couldn't understand at all.

KK absolutely dreadful since the red card but what on earth was that free for?!
