Frank Maloney's autobiography was very interesting

Just read there about Trump in March who insulted women by talking about Megyn Kelly menstruating in order to get her to STFU which turned off a lot of GOP women. He hasn't a hope of getting elected with that sort of attitude.

These analyses make for intetesting reading. Good odds on Hillary eclipsing Obsma's electoral college results from the re-election

Romney out there seeking a third way candidate to save the GOP majority in the state races. Quite a few sitting representatives looking like they are in diffs as the recent tend is to vote single party in the return.

Could the anti-Trump sentiment swing the trifecta of president, house and senate?

P.s.  Would you wise up on the BLM stuff you're making yourselves look like the worst kind of bigot. Same goes for the transgender bathroom "debate". What next "God controls the weather"?
GOP will probably lose the Senate with a Base that hates the leaders

GF goes through phases. Meath kerry Galway lasted 6 years. Tyrone won 3 in 5. Kerry picked up a few other than the finals against Tyrone. Now the Dubs have 3. Players age. Tactics evolve. Managers lose their mojo. Hunger pops up elsewhere. It is very hard to win an all Ireland.
I would be surprised if the Dubs won 2 out of the next 10.

The Dubs would look a lot less impressive if Mayo were winning their share of Sams.
Winning is in large part psychological and the Dubs have the edge over Kerry as well. But the notion of a thousand year Reich is nuts .

Dublin win because at the minute they have the best team, better footballers and a desire & hunger to keep winning as all great teams do.

Share of SAMs?? Mayo have not won because of physchological shortcomings. More so because they are not as good as Dublin and the year recently Dublin didn't make it to the final they got done by inept& incompetent ref in semi replay v Kerry. No guarantee they would have beaten Donegal in final but you would have fancied them to.
the psych thing is what prevented Mayo from winning 2 of the last 5 all Irelands
the Dubs had it 91 to 94 as well of course...
But they made it over the line in 95

If Mayo can win one Sam they will kick on and develop even further

dubs have been going since 09 maybe so have a lot of mileage on the clock

If they were to win one they would obviously get great lift from it. However Mayo team has as much if not more mileage on the clock than current Dublin team. Recent additions to starting 15 include Byrne, Cooper, Small, McCaffrey, Fenton, Kilkenny, Rock, Mannion & Costello. Another 4 or 5 younger lads close to getting a chance / breaking into the team. Granted the likes of Connolly, Flynn, McCarthy are around 5/6 years now but they're only in mid to late 20s so plenty of football in those guys yet.

Mayo and Kerry will fade away in a year or two. Donegal are nearly gone. Tyrone are moving up a level, but that level is only equal to the teams named. Leinster is a graveyard. The game is up. Dublin will have it all to themselves, Leagues, Leinsters and All Irelands. There is no doubt about it. They hold all the ace cards! Can you tell me one disadvantage they have from the beginning of the League to the All Ireland final? One? Their fans don't want to let on, but in their heart of hearts they know. Everybody knows. Crowds are falling year after year. Even the Dubs won't be bothered in time to come.
Tyrone and Galway will be close enough within 3 or 4 years. Mayo will still be interested. Cork will be around Kerry will have another team. Meath might even come around.
The Dubs will do a Man Utd. Too long with the same winning formula.

Eurovision Schlong Contest: The secret fetish porn past of Russian favourite

http://www.thesun.ie/irishsol/homepage/7149490/The-secret-fetish-porn-past-of-Russia-s-Eurovision-entry.html

EUROVISION favourite Russia was last night caught in a fetish porn blunder after pictures emerged of its contestant seemingly posing for a series of explicit snaps.

Sergey Lazarev, 33, is seen sitting naked on a bed while menacingly holding a saw to the throat of a woman handcuffed to a radiator.

But the Kremlin dismissed claims its star man was a porn actor, insisting the images were taken to highlight domestic violence issues.

sounds like a wind up
You can always depend on the Sun to go hook line and sinker for any story involving porn

Its a cad you knob

No idea what that means (apart from the "knob" bit!  ;D)

The green/white/gold bit just reminded me of my being assured as a youngster of the "true" colours of the Irish flag!

Come to think of it, I even remember being told in third class that I was wrong when we had to do an exercise on the meaning of the tricolour and, using an American encyclopaedia as a resource, I answered that it represented the two traditions and peace/coexistence between them.

But that was Donegal in the 70s/80s.

It's a very nice jersey BTW.
I had the same thing in school Re the colour of the glad.  Where did green white and gold come from?

Ok lets look at the Myth of Leinster Football.

Looking beyond Dublin, Meath up to lately used to win 50% of the titles Dublin won. A 2:1 Ratio. That has collapsed lately. Dublin and meath have 75 titles between them. Looking at the rest of the counties they have 54 between. Which looks ok until you see that 33 were won before the end of WW2. Offaly came good in the 60's through to the 70's and the 80's.  Kildare were there or there abouts in the late 90's.

Really when we say Leinster is weak, we really mean Meath are Weak?


Kildare who we say (think) are a strong county have won two Leinster titles in the last 60 years. They have not won a Leinster since 2000.

Offaly One title in the last 34 years. Last title 1997.

Wexford Last title 1945.

Louth Last title 1957.

Laois One title in 70 years. Last title 2003.

Carlow last title and only 1945.

Longford Last title and only 1968.

Westmeath last and only title 2004.

Kilkenny last title 1911

In last 20 years Dublin have won 11 Leinsters, Meath 4, Kildare 2, Laois, Offaly & Westmeath 1 each

In 20 years before that Dublin won 12 Leinsters, Meath 5 and Offaly 3

So what exactly is your point? Dublin dominate Leinster, always have and always will. Kerry do the same in Munster. Mayo now doing so in Connacht.

The other teams in Leinster have regressed because of their own failings and inadequacies. They will continue to fail until they get their heads out of their backsides, put proper structures in place as many non Leinster counties have done and stop constantly whinging & moaning about Dublin.
They have regressed because of their thoughts and their words as well as what they have done and failed to do.
Meath and Kildare are the most shocking cases.

In fairness, the Irish News is only responding to what people want. There was a pretty extensive survey done in the paper a few years ago, asking people what they wanted to see.

Stuff like what sports, what news, what celebrity 'news', etc....

Today's Irish News is the result of that survey.
Ask readers what they want to see and you get the daily mail website. Tits and ass, sport, crime , slebs and news about house prices
