The gas thing is they can still get out of the group. They will be play a Bayern side at home who have nothing to play for but the Win bonus.

Could Utd be the first to win only two games and get out of the group with 7 points?

Quote from: Captain Obvious on November 25, 2023, 04:34:50 PMPep Guardiola moaning that he wanted 'some more noise' from the Manchester City supporters at the Etihad today. Maybe They'll perk up when they start winning more trophies? Such a soulless club.

 

They have got accustomed to winning trophies. Last year was saturation. There not much to wish for anymore.

Ah Kielty is growing into it. Tubridy nailed the Toy Show and is a hard act to follow.

JFK was set up like a Clay Pigeon in Dallas.

Oswald actions that day after the assassination, were not the actions of a Assassin.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on November 19, 2023, 11:10:44 PMDoes any Irish citizen have any stake heritage wise in any county the reside in outside of here?

So in 50 years time you actually believe that in Ireland there will be more foreigners/refugees/immigrants than Irish?

What complete crap! Talk me through that one please

We have a small population to start with, so big amounts of immigration will dilute it more than it would in countries with large populations, e.g. Britain or Germany. In the last 20 years, we've gone from a pretty homogenous country, to having 20% non-Irish. Extrapolate forward? I think it more amazing to think that people reckon it'll never happen. Talk about burying your head in the sand. It might not be 50 years, it might be 60 years. Could be less, even. But certainly by 2100.

So you don't have credible link to back up that claim? You are obviously basing it on some information??

He's basing it on what he sees around him. Why does there have to be a link? Can people not think for themselves anymore.

Do the Maths.

You'd expect the Kerry Intermediate and Junior Champions to sail through the Munster Championship.

The CSO found that, as of June 6, 84,613 people from Ukraine have arrived in Ireland as refugees since Russia began its war on Ukraine in February 2022.

Ireland refugee statistics for 2022 was 81,256.00, a 748.98% increase from 2021. Ireland refugee statistics for 2021 was 9,571.00, a 5.93% increase from 2020. Ireland refugee statistics for 2020 was 9,035.00, a 15.91% increase from 2019.

The majority illegal immigrants reside unknown to the authorities. No official data exist on the size of this group and estimates are difficult. In 2020 the NGO, Migrant Rights Centre Ireland, estimated that there were 17,000 – 20,000 undocumented persons in the State, including 2,000 – 3,000 children.

These figures are going one way only. In a generation there won't be many family tress confined to the Island.

Gaa people in Mayo are Gas, they talk about Hurling being a real mans game, the skill and the heritage. But feck all will send them to Hurling. In contrast they'll send them to play Soccer which they call a pansy game, with less skill and no heritage.

Hurling in all fairness needs good coaches with a traditional background, knowledge, experience and commitment. These kind of people are thin on the ground in Mayo.

Gaelic Football (and Soccer) only needs a trickle of those characteristics to succeed.

Quote from: Blowitupref on November 19, 2023, 03:55:21 PMA surprise result in the Kerry intermediate final.


Fossa 0-18 Milltown-Castlemaine: 2-13

Fossa a small Kerry club, have a great player and a once in a lifetime player - both brothers. Outside of that there would be nothing more to say this was a surprise result.

Milltown/Castlemaine won their 5th Intermediate title today. Fossa have never won the Intermediate. Fossa have only won one Junior premier - title 2022.
