Dennis Taylor won  the World Snooker title on the  final black.

40 years ago!

Mad. Where has the  time gone?

Where were you when  that  final black was potted? It was like  our own JFK moment

Very good documentary from Theroux. Much of his other stuff is boring, bit this is worth watching.

Is this  a recent thing?

Didn't Meat play Bundoran  not so long ago? Something tells me it was  in a big tent

2008 and a day later than expected due to health and safety issues with the tent.

Ah, so it did happen. I didn't  dream  it.  I wish more  bands would  play places like that.

Did  the saw doctors ever play on Clare Island?  And if not , why not?

If someone services  my boiler or  cleans my windows, and I pay them cash , and they don't declare it, I  honestly couldn't give  one shiny shite.

Then we shouldn't complain about the NHS too much either

We all know that's  a separate issue though

Is it a coincidence that this  18 month old video  was brought  out just as Kneecap  are getting more coverage? And speaking out against the  genocide?

The  Tory MP statement was idiotic but  it was  idiotic 18 months ago too

Spain and Portugal  card payments down (among other things ).

Another reminder  to carry cash

Would like to think Crystal Palace will beat them in the final but I doubt it.
An FA Cup Win and Top 4 wouldn't be the worst season at all for Man City and you'd expect them to be back full force next season.

Palace can be brilliant  one day,  brutal  the next.  City  will no doubt bore their way to  a jammy win .

I've only seen them interviewed  briefly on the late late show , so I know  very little about them

What are they? Rappers? Singers? Do they read  poetry?

Is it like being  at a Wolfe Tones concert?

Joe Brolly has a shelf life shorter than bread.

Not that short.. he was a pundit 20 years ago and here we are still talking bout him... Columnist with Sunday Independent and huge following for his podcast. .

Yes, in all those roles he has run out any original thought very quickly. He is the Dealz version of Eamon Dunphy.

Jees! GAA and RTÉ cud do with those two now... like watching paint dry these days. Dunphy probably too old now.
Brolly's podcasts are often very good especially calling out Israeli genocide, the Unionist mindset, this far right surge and does his homework. They have a huge following.. 

Will Brolly have a podcast this week saying why Meaths win doesn't really matter as it's only Leinster championship.

Then spend the next 40 minutes eulogizing about Pat Gilroy and Jim Gavin?

Brolly's love affair with  Pat Gilroy is  disturbing

Feckin luck is hanging  out of City. Forest hit  the post three times.

Should just have gave them the trophy today , save them coming back

Jammy backstards

[Gough showed yesterday refs now have been given carte blance in matches without fear of anyone on or off the field questioning them,]

I thought he was at the inner D when he kicked it? As he didn't appeal at all.

There's no appeals accept it or give away a possible 2 points, Gough showed yesterday refs now have been given carte blance in matches without fear of anyone on or off the field questioning them, he has some abysmal calls yesterday no doubt get an All Ireland though, shocking they are now King makers.

Yes, I agree. Some of his decisions were  absolutely baffling yesterday.  Must be so frustrating for  players, and they  dare not question his decision for fear  of a card or free moved up.

I mean, a manager  remonstrating on the line , means  a free in front of the posts. Absolute nonsense.

Wouldn't be surprised , if I get  a knock on the door shortly, and  David Gough is stood there, in full kit , showing me a yellow card . That's how mad  these rules have  become.

[at most 6 songs]

Surely I'm not disrespecting Meatloaf's unique sound and showmanship by pointing out that he has at most 6 songs that anyone would short list here?

There's already been  8 shortlisted though 

Not a huge Meat fan. He sure liked a  long song  title though

I'd do anything  for love (but I won't do that)
I'd lie for you  (and that's the truth)
Rock and roll dreams come true
