What the f**k are you on about Owen?

I see Judith Gillespie,ex RUC Deputy Chief Constable,is a hotly tipped contender! I recall her learning Irish under the LIOFA scheme up here a few years ago.Well if Northerners can be Freestate Presidents and managers of the Free State Football team....

Reports say the salary will go up to €300k.  O'Sullivan was paid €180k

Do the DUP actually know what Deal they got from the tories. I feel they are going to learn a very hard lesson on dealin with the brits.

The £1bn needs to be approved by a vote in Westminster and there is no date set for vote yet

They've built up a bit of a reputation at under age, let's see if the DUP can hack it a senior level.

We'd need one for General Gerry by himself if you wanted to be fair.

I think this is what's called whataboutery

More shite. O Neill and Keane haven't a clue and the players are brutal - a bad combination

Brady will always have that goal against Italy. Otherwise he's useless.

Give up Orior

Wise advice.

Which maybe you should also take.

No maybe about it, actually.

Have you googled what the EU is Fr Dougal?

[Davis and Evans yeah, but who else would make the ROI team.]

Davis and Evans yeah, but who else would make the ROI team. The rest of the team are not as strong as ROI and yet they are playing better stuff.
I dont expect  ireland to play nice football but decent stuff isnt beyond tbe realms pf possibility. I watched Burnley v Chelsea and Spurs with a large helping of Irish lads. Despite the massive gulf in class they actually passed the ball at times.
Even if you go back to front quickly like Burnley the ball should resemble a pass and not a panicked lash it away.
Harry Arter may not pick a killer pass but he gas good passing skills and he stands up v well for his club. Then he gets slated for Ireland who kick it into the clouds.
Hoolohan woukd gave nade no difference if the ball from deep was like that either. It gas to something they are told to do.
The players are not great but they are not shite. I am not asking for FIFA 2017 stuff but just sonething that doesnt have lads terrorized by a pass.

Are you serious CS.  Do you think the north would swap any of their team for the dung that's turning out for the south??

Don't you hate it when Nordies are over sensitive?

No, it's very amusing.

This is not a case of "going out of our way to be offended".

Yes, it is.

Ah, I get it. You're a 26-county free stater who couldn't care less about your fellow countrymen. Would you be happy if the Ulster Championship consisted of only three teams?

Nice little rant there.

Pity for you that it doesn't bear any resemblance to reality.

So, you're admitting you're just a wind up merchant?

To be fair, what else does the ridiculousness of your "non-WUM" WUM reaction to something so utterly irrelevant deserve other than ridicule?

You just don't get it.

Give up Orior, you're dealing with someone whose grasp on geography and politics is so developed that he thinks Europe and the EU are the same thing.

http://www.independent.ie/sport/golf/bbc-tries-to-claim-irish-golfer-paul-dunne-as-british-31388129.html

The BBC have done it again, last week it was Conor McGregor, now it's Paul Dunne – the Irish amateur who has stunned the golf world by leading the British Open going into the final day.  The Irish amateur has not even won the tournament yet and already British sports pundits are trying to claim him as one of their own.

Ireland's latest sporting hero was lining up to take his tee shot on the 17th hole in St Andrew's after two British golfers hit out of bounds shortly beforehand, when Mark James commented that he did not want to see another British player hit three off the tee.  "We saw Eddie Pepperell come to grief here... so lets not have anymore British out of bounds," he said

A UK columnist has come under fire after suggesting that Ireland is not a real country.
In her comment piece for todays UK Times, Melanie Philips talks about moves by Republicans in Northern Ireland and nationalists in Scotland to seek independence from the UK.

Padraig Hughes or Sean Hurson?

Cillian O'Connor?

Never mind this.  Kate Middleton is pregnant.  Rejoicing in the Republic of Ireland.
