Is there any need to be so perennially angry and foul-mouthed gallsman?

I'm easily exasperated by idiots and morons.
Stop looking at yourself in the mirror then

Ray D'Arcy is an excellent broadcaster. His radio show is interesting and he is a brilliant interviewer. His TV show is probably affected by the caliber of guest RTE can get him after LLS has hovered up anyone with even slight celebrity status. He's basically left with what's left in the canteen. But he is definitely a gifted broadcaster. And a really nice guy.
Not everyone would agree with you Jenny.
But then like Miriam O'Callaghan while some like her she has her knockers

This is a huge day for Ulster Roman Catholicism.

If I've learned anything in my thirtysomething years on this earth, it's that nordie taigs love two things above all - Manchester United FC and the Royal Family.

We fear for the rest of your education then.

Sometime in the 70s there was a Royal wedding in the middle of the week and the loyal schools were all off. The Abbey had no truck with that kind of thing and was business as usual. But the fecking bus in Cross' wouldn't start. We pushed it back and forth on the Square and then down the hill where it ended up immobile outside Joe Kernan's present house. No way was it going to start. Going home wasn't an option, so we had to thumb to Newry where the teacher had a good laugh that he thought the two Cross lads had taken the day off for the nuptials.

Very funny story. You must be great craic talking shite in the pub

No alcohol allowed in the stadium but there will be ample supplies of Horlicks, Werther Originals and incontinence pads.
Irelands Own have brought out a special commemorative issue

No campaign have defaced Benbulben in Sligo this morning. That'll help tourism. Thanks.

Nearly as good an idea as murdering the elderly member of the Royal family and a young boy up the road.

I'm more familiar with Omagh as my friend had a run in with the FBI agent involved.

I thought that it was the boys out in Langley ran that one.

What are their Arab brothers doing to help the Palestinians? Sweet FA except to use their plight as a propaganda tool to keep their own people subjugated. Or maybe the likes of Iran Iraq Saudi Arabia Yemen Syria Egypt are so busy introducing human rights, democracy, equality for women for their own people that they havent time for the Palestinians

Bob Geldof is appealing on men to vote Yes.  Krusty the clown wasn't available.
Why the f**k do people think we will allow Geldof Bono etc influence how we vote

Maybe he can go down the Liffey with a megaphone shouting down people he doesn't agree with.  It worked real well for him with Brexit

Isn't the Liffey smelly enough?

Next stop Wembley! What's the chances of getting a ticket? Assume villa and Fulham websites will sell majority and then possibly some on the Wembley site that the touts will likely gather up  :'(

Read villa will be allocated 38,000. Id say they will be snapped up quite quickly.

Some great performances over the 2 legs from villa.  I'm sure it wasnt great for the neutral but by god was it tense.  Fulham will rightly be favourites for the final but villa are of course well capable of it.

If you've been to a game this season you'll have a good chance. If you've been to 3 or more you're guaranteed. Fulham are probably a better team. Their midfield 3 are excellent and Mitrovic is a cut above the Championship. However Villa have an edge on experience, and as you rightly point out they had some big performances in the Boro games, mainly from those experienced players - Jedinak, Terry, Hutton.

Fulham are a nice tidy side but there is experience at Villa both on and off the pitch. Not much difference between them in the league. Whoever makes it through will have a lot of buying to do.
Good championship panels but bottom 6 Premiership.

Turkey. That great upholder of human rights. How are the Kurds doing these days?

Ireland finished in the middle of the pack.

Stupid hostess gave away the final outcome before announcing the final vote.

She did have a couple of good points though

Offaly are doing their bit at underage level and hopefully this will come through over the next few years.

Whatever about the Ulster championship it will be interesting to see how the Dubs would do if the "Super 8s" land them in Clones to meet Armagh Tyrone or Donegal
