ffs please not Southgate, he has wasted England best chance to win something over the last few tournaments. The English seem blinded to his incompetence. He speaks well to the media and is a likeable guy but is tactically brain dead

They lost a final on penalties and then lost to a team who missed out on retaining the WC on penalties. I don't think that's down to Southgate "wasting" anything.

We have pilots going on at the minute using the Copilots in excel and PowerPoint. A lot of it being used to do and/or proof coding.

Had a look around but couldn't find a specific topic on this. The pace of change is absolutely absurd. Chat-GPT 4o announced this week and then Google come out with this. Terrifying/fascinating.

Don't think they can take the risk in appointing him. What happens if he has a disastrous Euros?

It's a shame for sure, but if other broadcasters valued the rights enough, they'd be trying to get a package. Sky didn't walk away for no reason.

Ah no, I disagree. Harris shamelessly tried to use the GAA to score a quick and cheap political point. Burns absolutely right to make a tit of him the way he did. Same for Cavanagh. He's simply defending the Association from mud slinging, and doing a terrific job of it.

Then people have to accept that there is a limit to what RTE can or will show. They can't have wall to wall GAA over the course of a weekend, especially if legally obliged to have the two finals from Sunday on.

Denver 3-2 up now after losing the first 2. Will probably go back to back now

Edwards still playing phenomenally for the T-Wolves but that's not enough against this Denver team. KAT and Gobert have been very poor since they went up 2-0. Conley injury didn't help either.

Remarkable comeback from Denver all the same. Hilarious that dropping the first two games coincided with Jokic being named MVP and immediately got used as a stick to beat him with. The guy is already an all time great.

Was pointed out that they're obliged to have provincial finals on TV by law. Would many be crying if the Leinster finals in either code weren't live on RTE to enable them to show some more Munster hurling?

I presume one of them is Chelsea, so almost certainly no.

[the inference of the cold, cash hungry GAA denying many the right to see our games, in their pursuit of money.]

I think the issue was that the subject matter has the potential to be quite emotive - the conflict between needing to raise revenue and at the same time trying to ensure that the product is available to as large an audience as possible.

I thought Cavanagh's approach played on that emotion - the inference of the cold, cash hungry GAA denying many the right to see our games, in their pursuit of money.

It could not go unchallenged and the response was an extremely powerful put down.

This is absolutely the crux of it and what he was implying.

The big deal is that he was wrong, and Burns corrected him. Emphatically.

Seems a few moany Tyronies are a bit touchy about Saint Sean being called out on his nonsense.

My 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!

It 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?
